Whilst Betis have scored more than their fair share at home, they have just four away goals in six and we think Mallorca can shut them out here after keeping clean sheets in three of their eight home games, conceding just seven overall.
Currently, Stuttgart has a very stable public attack. But the home team's defense is very bad. That is also the reason Stuttgart has difficulty pursuing very closely.

This is the semi-finals of the Italian Cup and Inter will play at home against Napoli. It is also the first meeting, so everything is not decided in this match, but I still think Inter is looking for a positive result.

Liverpool found it was a very long way back to title glory once momentum had been lost and too many poor decisions made.

Because of former League One side Bury's expulsion, only the bottom side was due to be relegated to the National League - but the situation is complicated by an ongoing misconduct charge against Macclesfield Town.

I want more authenticity in diversity, so inclusion and growth of talent become the focus, rather than hitting targets. It's International Women's Day but we need to use every day to make changes that improve prospects for people across the board. Giving a voice to one person doesn't mean it cancels another out. We also must remember that gender bias goes both ways. Telling a boy to "man up" can have a detrimental effect on their decision making and mental health.
