Sports / Laliga Match Preview : Real Sociedad Vs Atletico Madrid by mickapolo: 3:04pm On Apr 19, 2018
Real Sociedad have won back-to-back games and kept consecutive clean sheets in recent weeks, with the Basque club looking to turn a corner in terms of confidence.

The hosts have kept three clean sheets in a row now in La Liga, with the balance being struck between creativity in attack and solidity at the back.

Atletico Madrid got back to winning ways against Levante last time out, and Antoine Griezmann continues to look in excellent form ahead of facing his former club. Bet Now on NaijaBet

Sports / Match Preview : Leicester Vs Southampton by mickapolo: 2:00pm On Apr 19, 2018
Leicester have nothing left to play for this season after falling nine points behind seventh place Burnley. They must now try and cement a top half finish with five games left to play.

Southampton blew a 2-0 lead at home to Chelsea on Saturday and ended up losing 3-2. It's their second consecutive 3-2 defeat where they have been ahead at some stage of the match.

Those two defeats have left Southampton five points adrift of safety and running out of time to save their top-flight status.

To make matters worse, Southampton have failed to score on their last three visits to the King Power Stadium. Latest Odds on NaijaBet

Sports / Napoli Keep Hopes Alive, Crotone Held Juve by mickapolo: 11:01am On Apr 19, 2018
Napoli kept their title hopes alive with a 4-2 win over Udinese on Wednesday as champions Juventus' path to a seventh consecutive Serie A title was stalled 1-1 at Crotone.

Nigerian forward Simy grabbed the equaliser for relegation-threatened Crotone after 65 minutes with a spectacular overhead bicycle kick with shades of that scored by Cristiano Ronaldo in the Champions League in Turin last month.

"We didn't do so well tonight, even though the guys did everything possible," said Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri.

Sports / Mourinho Backs Pogba After Scholes Tag Him ''disrespectful'' by mickapolo: 10:13am On Apr 19, 2018
Jose Mourinho has defended Paul Pogba after the Manchester United star was branded "disrespectful" by Paul Scholes.

United legend Scholes claimed Pogba's lacklustre display in Sunday's shock defeat against lowly West Bromwich Albion showed a lack of respect for Mourinho.

Scholes' criticism came amid growing speculation that Mourinho is ready to sell Pogba following the France midfielder's inconsistent form over the last two seasons.

But Pogba produced one of his better performances in United's 2-0 win over Bournemouth on Wednesday as he set up Romelu Lukaku for the second goal at Dean Court.

Asked to comment on Scholes' criticism of Pogba, Mourinho said: "I don't agree. I agree that it wasn't a good performance at all (against West Brom); with that I agree."

Celta Vigo have lost just one of their last four La Liga matches, with Juan Carlos Unzue's men right in the mix for a Europa League finish come the end of the campaign.

The hosts are unbeaten in their last seven home outings at Balaidos, with La Celeste also managing to keep three clean sheets in their last four attempts in Galicia.

Sports / Zidane Dismisses Having Problem With Bale by mickapolo: 3:48pm On Apr 17, 2018
Zinedine Zidane insists he has no problem with Gareth Bale despite substituting him at half-time during Real Madrid´s Champions League clash against Juventus last week.

A source said that Bale was surprised and angry at Zidane´s decision to take him off at the Santiago Bernabeu, with Real trailing 2-0 in a match they went on to lose 3-1. The defending champions progressed 4-3 on aggregate

Bale was then not included in the squad for Sunday´s 2-1 win over Malaga in La Liga but Real insisted the plan had always been to rest players for the match.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric and Raphael Varane were also spared the trip to La Rosaleda. Naija and Bet

Real host Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday and Bale will be hoping for another chance to state his case ahead of the first leg of their Champions League semifinal against Bayern Munich next week.

Sports / Match Preview : Brighton Vs Tottenham by mickapolo: 3:32pm On Apr 17, 2018
Brighton fell to a 3-2 defeat at Crystal Palace on Saturday, yet remain seven points above the relegation zone after Southampton's 3-2 loss to Chelsea. The Seagulls, though, have failed to win their last four league matches, losing three.

Tottenham too lost over the weekend, succumbing to defeat to champions Manchester City at Wembley. They have, however, lost only two league games since December, both against City, and secured a 2-0 win over Brighton in the reverse fixture.

Brighton appear to be limping over the finish line, while Spurs are still battling to secure a top-4 finish. The visitors should return to winning ways here, but it won't be easy for Mauricio Pochettino's side.

Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng says his departure from Schalke felt "like a punch in the face" with the clubs to clash in Wednesday's German Cup semifinal.

Boateng, 31, still carries bad memories after being released by Schalke in December 2015, six months after he was suspended over a "lack of mutual trust", as the club put it. Latest cup Odds are Available on Site

Manchester City's young squad can help the newly crowned Premier League champions build on their success in the coming years, playmaker Kevin De Bruyne has said.

After a trophyless debut season in England, manager Pep Guardiola oversaw the exits of several older players and brought in younger replacements.

Sports / ‘no-one Expected Painful Barca Defeat’ - Iniesta by mickapolo: 9:36am On Apr 11, 2018
Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta was struggling to accept his side's shock 3-0 defeat at AS Roma which knocked them out of the Champions League on away goals on Tuesday, while Sergio Busquets called the elimination the worst moment of his career.

Barca's passage into the semifinals looked assured after they won the first leg 4-1 but they gave their worst performance this season at the Olympic Stadium and went out to goals by Edin Dzeko, a Daniele De Rossi penalty and a Kostas Manolas header.

"It's painful because no one expected this after the advantage we had but you realise what the reality of the Champions League is like when you do things badly, when you make lots of errors, when you don’t adapt to the game," a visibly distraught Iniesta told reporters.

Sports / UCL Match Preview : Manchester City Vs Liverpool by mickapolo: 3:51pm On Apr 10, 2018
Are the wheels coming off Manchester City's season at the worst possible moment? They have lost successive matches for the first time under Pep Guardiola and conceded three goals in each match. They need to score at least three goals here to have any chance of staying in Europe.

Liverpool have one foot in the semi finals of the Champions League after beating City 3-0 at home in the first leg. They will know that one goal should be enough to secure their passage into the last four of the Champions League for the first time since the 2007/08 campaign.

If City can perform to the same level as they did in the first half of the Manchester derby, and take their opportunities, then they have a chance of pulling off a remarkable comeback. However, Liverpool will more than fancy their chances of doing enough to get through if City's second half performance against United was anything to go by.

Sports / Pep Still Believes City Can Fight Back At The Etihad by mickapolo: 11:28am On Apr 05, 2018
Pep Guardiola believes his Manchester City team are capable of turning around a 3-0 first-leg deficit in their Champions League quarterfinal with Liverpool and says he will convince his players they can fight back in the tie.

Three first-half goals at Anfield left the Premier League's runaway leaders reeling and although they regained their composure in the second half, their failure to score an away goal could prove to be decisive.

"In this room I think there is nobody except the guy talking to you who believes we can go through," Guardiola said.

A sixth successive Bundesliga title is just a matter of time for Bayern Munich, but their search for a coach to take over next season is proving far more complicated for the Bavarians.

With a massive 17-point lead, Bayern can wrap up the title with five games to spare if they win at midtable Augsburg on Saturday or if second-placed Schalke fail to beat Hamburg SV away.

Bayern have proved unstoppable since 72-year-old Jupp Heynckes, who led them to a league, cup and Champions League treble in 2013, was lured out of retirement in October to replace the sacked Carlo Ancelotti. Place bet on today's games on NaijaBet
