Germany vs Australia Match Live

The Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban will stage the Germany vs Australia game. These two teams in Group D will challenge each other at 18:30 GMT on Sunday, June 13.

Germany Plotting A Win

No Michael Ballack; the captain was cruelly ruled out from the 2010 FIFA World Cup following an injury he picked up in May. Still, the Germans are looking forward to make the most of their status as favorites. 2006 World Cup Young Player of the Year award winner Lucas Podolski boasted about Germany’s chances to make it against Australia this weekend. The striker told FIFA.com on Friday:

“Of course, there is some sort of pressure because we go into this game as favorites. Either way, we will go with confidence into our three group matches. We really, really want to win the opening encounter.”

He continued:

“We know that Australia will play a defensive game and that we will just have to try to find the gaps then. We will just have to use our strikers and find a way through. Germany have a very good group of young players who won the Euro Under-21 tournament last season. We’ve introduced a lot of good players like Spain. We plan to hit the ground and run away with a win on Sunday.”

Australia Get Good And Bad News

Let’s keep the good news for the end and start by learning the bad one. Fulham’s Mark Schwarzer and Reading’s Adam Federici were included in Pim Verbeek’s 23-man squad for the 2010 World Cup, and both men are expected to remain in South Africa until Australia’s campaign is over. The goalkeeper that has pulled out from the tournament is Brad Jones. The Middlesbrough shot stopper has to assist his family following a tragedy. A statement from the Australian national football team declared:

“It has been decided that Jones will not return to South Africa and will remain with his family.”

Coach Pim Verbeek had to call up Eugen Galekovic in replacement for Brad Jones.

Now the good news is about the return of a few key players ahead of Australia’s game against Germany. Talisman Harry Kewell surmounted his groin injury worries while midfielder Brett Emerton overcame his calf injury. Besides, Tim Cahill is also free from the neck injury which plagued him for some time. Cahill is now expected to shine against Germany. Speaking about his fitness on Friday, the Everton attacking player declared:

“I don’t want to focus on injuries. If the game was tomorrow, I’d be there and more than ready.”

Australia need to bounce back from the 3-1 defeat they suffered in the hands of the USA last week while Germany will be looking to get their fourth consecutive victory since losing 1-0 to Argentina in March 2010. Next up in Group D, the Socceroos will play against Ghana and the Germans will entertain Serbia.

Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao Match Preview

All matches will kick off at 19:00 GMT on Saturday. In the pick of the day, Sevilla and Barcelona will lock horns at the Sanchez Pizjuan. At the Santiago Bernabeu, however, Real Madrid will have a tough battle to overcome against Athletic Bilbao. Can Los Blancos punish Los Leones who took away all three points from them at the San Mames back in mid-January?

Real Madrid – Hoping And Fighting

Barcelona’s Juan Laporta insists that the pressure is on Real Madrid as La Liga is two match-days away from its end. The Spanish giants, in the meantime, prefer to remain hopeful that the current leaders will drop points against Sevilla. Real Madrid are actually one point behind Barcelona; if the Catalans complete the double over Los Nervionenses and if Madrid fail to defeat Bilbao, then the race for La Liga title will be well and truly over for Florentino Perez's $ 300 Million team.

As usual, especially since their Clasico loss, Real Madrid’s mission is to win at all cost no matter the situation. During the week, Los Blancos triumphed 4-1 over Mallorca thanks to the major influence of hat-trick hero Cristiano Ronaldo. The world’s most expensive player was praised by the coach as being “the embodiment of Real Madrid’s spirit”. This vital comeback victory offered Los Blancos a mental boost ahead of this weekend’s crucial home encounter against Athletic Bilbao.

Manager Manuel Pellegrini gave his thoughts, calling upon his players’ focus:

"The match against Bilbao will not be easy. We have to win and focus on ourselves since whatever happens in Sevilla will not have anything to do with us."

His statement was also echoed by midfielder Esteban Granero who explained:

"It would be a mistake not to focus on our match only. Barcelona's result will be meaningless if we don't win. Still, we will keep an eye on Sevilla because this weekend may be decisive."

Athletic Bilbao – European Aspirations Will Motivate

Los Leones have 51 points, and they are one point behind Villarreal and Getafe who both possess 52 points. These three teams are vying for a Europa League spot and with 6 points still at stake, anything could happen. Athletic Bilbao are keen to end their season on a wonderful note and only a 6th place finish will guarantee them that.

They’ll need to gather their forces and bring down Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu if they want to keep their European hopes alive. Defender Ander Iturraspe seems very much aware of the situation in which Athletic Bilbao find themselves. Looking at the game, he underlined the Spanish giant’s greatness and compared it to his side’s hard challenge.

“We’ll have plenty to prove at the Bernabeu. They [Real Madrid] have high standard attacking players. They usually have no mercy if they get their chances. We will have to be very, very good. We’ll need to have a bit of luck and also, we won’t have to give them opportunities. Actually, they end up taking them more than they do not.

“Against teams like Real Madrid, you have to take their chances. Otherwise, you pay dearly. This happened to us against Barcelona. We had plenty of opportunities. But Madrid will have chances because they are one of the best teams on the planet.”

It will be interesting to see whether Athletic Bilbao’s Europa League aspirations are strong enough to crash Real Madrid’s La Liga title dream.

Real Madrid's roster

Goalkeepers: Casillas, Dudek
Defenders: Ramos, Garay, Albiol, Arbeloa, Marcelo
Midfielders: Diarra, Gago, Lass, Drenthe, Kaka, Granero, Alonso

Sevilla vs Barcelona Match Preview

With only two matches left in La Liga, the title race has appeared to be hotter than ever at the top of the table, but Barcelona can once again stamp their authority in the Primera División by defeating Sevilla at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Saturday.

Sevilla - Facts and Stats from the home side

The Andalusian club has managed to take a Champions League place in the top four with 60 points, placed ahead of 5th place Mallorca who have 59 points. Sevilla have proved to be a difficult side this season, although they have also shown a lot of struggle in their league campaign.

Sevilla only have 18 wins in 36 league games which include 6 draws and 12 losses. Their home record looks acceptable, having triumphed 14 times at home, drawn once, and lost thrice. It is thus away from home that their tests weaken them, as they can only boast of 3 wins in their name, and 7 draws as well as 8 defeats.

Luckily, their game this weekend will be decided at home against La Liga leaders Barcelona, and Sevilla can look ahead to retaining their recent good shape so as to keep their opportunities of playing in the Champions League next season. Nevertheless, results popping-out of their last matches show what could be referred to as inconsistency, in view of the fact that they have snatched 9 points over their last 15 possible due to 2 stoppable failures.

Last 5 games

Apr 13: Valladolid 2-1 Sevilla
Apr 17: Sevilla 3-0 Sporting Gijon
Apr 25: Getafe 4-3 Sevilla
May 02: Sevilla 3-1 Atletico Madrid
May 05: Racing Santander 1-5 Sevilla

Barcelona – Facts and Stats from the away side

La Liga title holders are still under the pressure of Real Madrid who look hungry enough to eat up all 6 remaining possible points in the Spanish First Division. With only one point separating them from Los Blancos, Barcelona have no right to relax. Conversely, they can only continue the battle and pour out their blood for at least 180 more minutes.

Barcelona will be packing their bags to travel to the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, but the Blaugrana could face a negative surprise, seeing that their away record only seems to be as positive as it is mainly because of excessive determination. The league favorites have won 12 games away from home, drawn 5, and lost 1. Their defeat came on February 14, when they suffered a setback in Madrid following a powerless starting line-up from Manager Pep Guardiola.

On this occasion, the Catalans will not be presented any choice. The only obligation which they will have to follow will be to answer the cries of their Madrid-fearing fans by getting closer to the title, using a win. Barcelona have stolen 4 wins out of their last 5 challenges, and below is the list of their results in their last 450 minutes on the pitch in La Liga:

Apr 14: Barcelona 3-0 Deportivo La Coruña
Apr 17: Espanyol 0-0 Barcelona
Apr 24: Barcelona 3-1 Xerez
May 1: Villarreal 1-4 Barcelona
May 4: Barcelona 4-1 Tenerife

Palop vs Lionel Messi

Sevilla goalkeeper and Barcelona ace Lionel Messi will face each for the eighth time in the Primera Division, but the fact that Leo has been able to score 7 times against the goalie is evident enough for fans to consider Little Messi as one of Palop’s biggest opponents, in terms of individual display. Messi got his first goal against Palop on October 15, 2006, when he scored Barcelona's third goal against Sevilla in the 80th minute as the Catalans triumphed 3-1 at the Camp Nou. He then scored 2 more goals on September 22 the year after in a 2-1 victory over Sevilla, with both goals scored within 6 minutes.

In 2008, on November 29, Messi again clinched a double in a 3-0 win against Manuel Jimenez’s club. He did not fail to exhibit his goalscoring skills on the 16th of January this year, when he placed two goals past Palop in La Liga to help Barcelona enter the winter break as La Liga leaders thanks to a 4-0 win.

Messi however could not score in the Copa del Rey against Sevilla, and after a 2-2 loss on away goals, Barcelona suffered their first competition exit for the first time since the departure of ex-coach Frank Rijkaard. On Saturday, Palop and Messi fight each other again, and the winner between the two men will surely emerge from the winning team.

Sevilla vs Barcelona – Head To Head

In their 5 last La Liga meetings, Barcelona have never lost a game against Sevilla. The title holders have won 4 of their last games against the Andalusians, and drawn one. The highest number of goals they have scored against Sevilla is 4, while they have made 3 clean sheets, since September 22, 2007.

22 Sep, 2007: Barcelona 2-1 Sevilla
09 Feb, 2008: Sevilla 1-1 Barcelona
22 Nov, 2008: Sevilla 0-3 Barcelona
22 Apr, 2009: Barcelona 4-0 Sevilla
16 Jan, 2010: Barcelona 4-0 Sevilla

La Liga Standings (Top 5) – May 07, 2010

Barcelona – 93 points

Real Madrid – 92 points

Valencia – 68 points

Sevilla – 60 points

Mallorca – 59 points

A loss or a draw for Barcelona might end their titles hopes if Real Madrid take their chances till the end of Day 38, but on the side of Sevilla, a loss or even a draw might also end their hopes of playing in the UEFA Champions League next season.

Manchester United vs Chelsea Match Preview

First place Manchester United will host second place Chelsea on Saturday in what may well prove to be the defining match of the season.

Manchester United’s midweek encounter with Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League Quarter Final tie was a disaster as United gave away a winning goal in 2nd half stoppage time while Wayne Rooney almost simultaneously rolled his ankle and had to be helped off the pitch.

The gravity of United’s predicament is clear. They have an opportunity to recover from the 2-1 loss to Bayern when they meet the Bavarians at Old Trafford next week. But Wayne Rooney probably won’t be there to help them.

Rooney's ankle is sprained, and although initial estimates suggested his convalescence would require some two to four weeks, United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been reluctant to reveal anything.

More importantly for United, however, Rooney won’t be available for the Red Devil’s massive league match against Chelsea at Old Trafford on Saturday. Yet Saturday’s winner--if there is one--probably wins the league!

Points are like gold right now

United hold the league lead by just a point going into the weekend, and they’ll be determined to avenge their 1-0 loss to the Londoners at Stamford Bridge in November. A win over Chelsea on Saturday would give United a four point lead and allow them some breathing room should they fail to get maximum points in the run-in to the end of the season.

Considering that United are yet to play Manchester City and Tottenham before the season ends those four points could be worth their weight in gold.

Beating Chelsea, however, will be a big task, even at Old Trafford. Without Rooney in the lineup United have often failed to impress. The England striker has 34 goals in all competitions this season and has seemed unstoppable.

Prior to the midweek loss in Germany United had gone seven games undefeated, scoring 19 goals and letting in only two in that time. Rooney scored nine of those 19.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson will undoubtedly turn to Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov in Rooney’s absence. The Bulgarian’s goal tally this year so far pales in comparison to Rooney’s magnificent haul, but there is no doubt that Berbatov is a quality striker.

Although Berbatov’s commitment has been questioned from time-to-time, especially in light of his £30 million transfer fee, the Bulgarian has been impressive in recent weeks, and scored two in United’s 0-4 win over Bolton last weekend.

Still, against Chelsea, and in subsequent matches until Rooney’s return, Berbatov will be carrying the full weight of Manchester United’s hopes and aspirations for the championship this season. It could make, or break, his reputation among the pantheon of Manchester United gods.

London Calling

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich must be licking his chops at the prospect of his club facing a Rooney-less Manchester United in what may well be the deciding match of the season.

Having crashed surprisingly out of the Champions League in the Round of 16 thanks to a resilient Inter Milan squad, Chelsea will be looking to exorcise their demons and prove they are the rightful claimants to the English throne. Except for a small matter an FA Cup Semi-Final upcoming, the Blues can now turn their focus almost entirely on the league.

Chelsea have trailed United for some weeks now, but for much of that time they possessed a game in hand and thus were well-placed to take the top spot. All they needed to do was continue to win and the league was theirs.

But Blackburn Rovers forced a shocking draw with the Blues 10 days ago. Chelsea’s game in hand was effectively nullified as a result and the Blues found themselves chasing the lead.

Like a wounded bear Chelsea came back in subsequent games and tore the competition asunder. They gobbled up Portsmouth at Fratton Park, winning that one 0-5, then last weekend they destroyed Aston Villa, embarrassingly thrashing Villa 7-1 at Stamford Bridge.

Fate in their own hands

Both teams come into the weekend’s match with injuries to key players. United won’t have Rooney, Hargreaves, Brown, Owen, O’Shea, Anderson or Welbeck. Chelsea are missing Ivanovic, Carvalho, Bosingwa, Essien and Ashley Cole.

Yet both squads possess talent pools deep enough to field quality selections even when injuries are rife.

Injuries aside, each club controls its own destiny coming into the weekend’s match at Old Trafford, and each will see a win as essential. For Manchester United the three points adds cushion to their lead should they concoct to wobble in the run in. For Chelsea the three points means they overtake United and then it’s simply a case on hanging on through the following five games.

Neither side would find a draw to be palatable, for that would open the door to Arsenal again. Indeed, a draw would be especially abhorrent to Chelsea, whom Arsenal could catch were they to win at the weekend.

Can Manchester United beat Chelsea without Wayne Rooney in their lineup? Absolutely, of this there can be no doubt. One could point to the 0-4 win over Bolton last week as an example of Manchester United’s potential for firepower without Wayne Rooney.

Fair enough, United can clearly put the ball in the onion bag without Rooney in the line up. But let’s face a simple fact: Bolton is not Chelsea.

Fiorentina vs Bayern München Match Preview

Referee Tom Henning Ovrebro took center stage unfortunately when the Bayern Munich hosted Fiorentina at the Allianz Arena two weeks ago.

After sending of Fiorentina’s Massimo Gobbi for what appeared to be no good reason, he allowed Bayern’s Miroslav Klose to remain on the pitch following what appeared a more aggressive challenge.

Klose rubbed salt in the Fiorentina wound when he later scored the winner from an offside position.

Fiorentina’s goal, like all away goals in the Champions League knockout phase, looms large, however, and if the Viola can get one back and keep a clean sheet they’ll go through to the round of 8.

Yet league results suggest that Fiorentina will have an uphill climb to beat the Germans. They’ve won just once in nine Serie A matches and currently sit 10th in the league.

Nevertheless, Fiorentina have some sting in their tail and Bayern will have to beware Montenegran striker Stevan Jovetic and especially Italian international striker Alberto Gilardino, who has 11 goals this season.

Bayern meanwhile are two points clear of nearest rivals Schalke in the Bundesliga table and haven’t lost a match in any competition since November.

But they nearly suffered an upset at the weekend as 13th place Cologne held them to a 1-1 draw.

Bayern had to come from behind for the equalizer and with a little luck could have gotten a winner, as they hit the woodwork on two occasions. Yet the result proves that the Bundesliga’s top club can be vulnerable.

Bayern come into the match with some defensive concerns. Defender Diego Contento suffered a knee injury against Cologne. And although Daniel van Buyten has been declared fit again, Argentine international defender Martin Demichelis will be out for three weeks.

Despite Bayern’s defensive concerns, there is no doubt that Fiorentina will have their hands full on Tuesday. Bayern will be visiting Florence with top stars Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Mark van Bomell, Miroslav Klose and Mario Gomez among others all fit.

Arsenal vs FC Porto Match Preview

By Brian Moore, Mar 7th 2010

Defensive blunders cost Arsenal the game in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie against Porto. But the Gunners got that important away goal. Arsenal must now play to win at the Emirates on Tuesday evening.

Porto’s 2-1 win over Arsenal at the Estadio do Dragao in February was gifted to them through defensive errors by goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.

The Dragons first goal came from Varela’s work on the right wing in the 11th minute when he beat Clichy then crossed the ball low into the center.

The cross was actually a poor one and Fabianski should have handled it easily. He was under no pressure from the Porto forwards yet he had come too far off his line and with the ball passed behind him, he somehow managed to fumble it across his goal line.

Arsenal equalizer

Arsenal fought back, however and got the equalizer off a header by defender Sol Campbell. It was Campbell’s second goal in consecutive Champions League matches, albeit nearly four years later, his previous coming in Arsenal’s loss to Barcelona in the 2006 Champions League Final.

Porto’s second half winner was a controversial one, at least from the Arsenal point of view, and hapless keeper Fabianski was again at the heart of the matter. The Pole mistakenly handled a Sol Campbell back pass, resulting in a free kick for Porto.

Swedish referee Martin Hansson allowed Porto to take the kick while the Arsenal men were still arguing about it. Micael fed the ball Falcao who tapped it home into a gaping net.

Despite their backline bungling the London side nevertheless had opportunities to equalize in open play but failed to capitalize on them.

The game might yet have turned out more favorably for Arsene Wenger’s men had referee Hansson acknowledged what appeared to be a legitimate penalty claim when Rosicky was pulled down in the box.

Nothing doing, said the ref and the match was destined to end 2-1 Porto.

That single goal, however, may yet prove vital for Arsenal. Away goals carry a heavier weight in the event of a draw; Arsenal need just one at the Emirates Stadium to bring the aggregate score even at two goals apiece. That would be enough to see Arsenal through to the Round of 8.

Arsenal Injuries

Injuries, however, continue to plague the Londoners. Young Welsh international Aaron Ramsey suffered a broken leg last week against Stoke City. He’s out for the season. He joins Dutch striker Robin van Persie on the long term injury list.

Defenders Sol Campbell, Philippe Senderos, Johan Djourou, Keiran Gibbs and William Gallas are all listed as injured.

Fabregas may not play

Then came Arsenal’s league match against Burnley on Saturday. The Gunners dispatched the Clarets with relative ease, as was to be expected, and as a result went briefly to the top of the Premier League until Manchester United dispatched Wolves later in the day.

But the biggest talking point to come out of the Burnley match was the injury to Cesc Fabreges. The Spanish international, Arsenal’s midfield creativity engine, scored his team’s first goal on the day, but limped off with a hamstring injury before half time.

Wenger hasn’t yet ruled Fabregas out of Tuesday’s Porto match, but his fitness to play is unknown.

Some good news for Arsenal comes from the form of Theo Walcott, who scored a fine goal against Burnley at the weekend, and diminutive Russian Andrey Arshavin, who also found the net against the Clarets.

Danish international Nicklas Bendtner, Croatian international Eduardo and Mexican international Carlos Vela are also available as striking options for the Gunners.

Porto’s form a little shaky

When the teams met two weeks ago Porto were a team in good form and were 12 games unbeaten in all competitions. Since the Arsenal encounter, however, the Dragons have a mixed record of a win, a loss and a draw in that order.

Arsenal meanwhile have three wins on the trot going into Tuesday’s match. Their confidence would likely be soaring were it not for their defensive injuries and the doubts that linger over Fabregas’s fitness.

Both teams come into the 2nd leg of the tie in third place in their respective leagues. Arsenal are just two points off the pace of current English Premier League leaders Manchester United. Porto, however, are eight points behind Sporting Braga and Benfica.

But whereas Arsenal have injury concerns to numerous key men, Porto should have a full squad available, including 17 goal Falcao. Brazilian striker Hulk, incredible though it may seem, should also be available, although he hasn’t played a league game for Porto since he was involved in a fracas with a steward off the pitch when Porto met Benfica in December.

Wenger: No great fan of Mack Sennett comedy routines in Arsenal jerseys

A goal down going into the game, Arsenal must attack. There is no doubt that they have men who can put the ball in the Porto onion bag. The questions for Arsene Wenger, however, lie in his defensive options. Porto’s strikers are handy fellows indeed in front of goal and if Arsenal are to win the tie they must man their back line with defenders.

Keystone Cops just won’t do.

Real Madrid vs Sevilla Match Preview

On Saturday night at 21:00 GMT, the Santiago Bernabeu will host the most eagerly anticipated clash of the weekend.

Real Madrid will come up against Sevilla as Los Blancos continue their title hunt and as Los Nervionenses aim to complete the double on their rivals.

Real Madrid’s biggest test at home

Real Madrid will have to face the huge task of defeating 4th place Sevilla on Saturday.

Los Blancos possess the strongest home record in La Liga this season but it is also true that they are yet to play any of the other three teams in the top four at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The list includes Barcelona, Valencia, and Sevilla whom they'll face this weekend only.

Real Madrid lost the first leg of this fixture 2-1 at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan and a repeat of this fate will definitely not be acceptable on Day 25 for title contenders Los Blancos.

As La Liga edges closer to its latter stages, the Spanish giants are keen to pile up more pressure on the leaders Barcelona.

The gap could even widen from two points to five ahead of this Real Madrid vs Sevilla clash if the Catalans defeat Almeria in the 19:00 GMT kick off. Slipping against Sevilla is therefore not an option for Real Madrid.

Now with the UEFA Champions League last sixteen second leg fixture against Lyon coming up next week, the Spanish giants would want to avoid any kind of demoralization by triumphing over Los Nervionenses.

Real Madrid are indeed on a great run of 6 La Liga wins on the trot.

They wrote off Villarreal and Tenerife lately with humiliating score lines and they aim to keep it up – not only to boost their confidence ahead of their European clash against Lyon where they’ll need to overturn a 1-0 deficit, but also to keep their hopes of clinching La Liga title alive.

Playmaker Cristiano Ronaldo stressed Real Madrid’s need to defeat Sevilla, saying:

“It is going to be a very difficult game. But we’ll be playing at the Bernabeu and we have to win if we want to win the league.”

Sevilla ready to terrorize Real Madrid

Ten men Sevilla lost ground last week after being held goalless at home to Athletic Bilbao. Commentating on the outcome of the game, Coach Manolo Jimenez rued bad luck for letting his side drop two precious points.

But he made it clear that the Bilbao match was now part of the past.

“Our mission is to finish third but this point is not what we deserved,” the manager stated.

“Now our minds are set on what promises to be a very difficult game at the Bernabeu.”

For midfielder Renato, Sevilla will have to play courageously to beat Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.

“We’ll have to attack them,” Renato explained.

“We’ll have to cause them damage and we will try to take them head on in order to achieve a good result.”

Echoing Renato’s comments, Sevilla’s Frederico Fazio told AS:

“We have to be focused, not just because we’ll be facing players like Cristiano Ronaldo. Actually, we would have to be just as concentrated as if we were up against Soldado or Aduriz.”

Can Sevilla put an end to Real Madrid’s perfect home record in La Liga this season?

Previous meetings between Real Madrid and Sevilla

21 goals have been scored between Real Madrid and Sevilla in the past 5 La Liga meetings. Real Madrid have claimed 11 of them with Sevilla netting the other 10. Meanwhile, Los Nervionenses have triumphed three times over Los Blancos.

A look at the head to head

Sevilla 2-0 Real Madrid – (November 2007)
Real Madrid 3-1 Sevilla – (March 2008)
Real Madrid 3-4 Sevilla – (December 2008)
Sevilla 2-4 Real Madrid – (April 2009)
Sevilla 2-1 Real Madrid – (October 2009)

Real Madrid statistics

The Spanish giants have played 12 home games in La Liga this season and they have clinched the maximum 36 points out of them.

Like Barcelona, Real Madrid have conceded only 8 goals on home soil.

Besides, they’ve scored more than any other team on their own turf as they’ve netted 41 goals at the Santiago Bernabeu – 7 more than the Catalans at the Camp Nou.

A look at Real Madrid’s last five results

Deportivo 1-3 Real Madrid – (January 30)
Real Madrid 3-0 Espanyol – (February 6)
Xerez 0-3 Real Madrid – (February 13)
Real Madrid 6-2 Villarreal – (February 21)
Tenerife 1-5 Real Madrid – (February 27)

Sevilla statistics

Sevilla have never held a team to a draw away from home this season.

They either win or they lose. Actually, Los Nervionenses have played 11 matches away from the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan and their form is far from being consistent.

They’ve won only six times away from home and if they lose on Saturday, they’ll be heading for their 6th away defeat in La Liga.

A look at Sevilla’s last five results

Sevilla 2-1 Valencia – (January 31)

Real Zaragoza 2-1 Sevilla – (February 7)
Sevilla 1-0 Osasuna – (February 14)
Mallorca 1-3 Sevilla – (February 20)

Sevilla 0-0 Athletic Bilbao – (February 28)

AS Roma vs AC Milan Match Preview

This is no kid's game. After many months watching their opponent running behind Internazionale's back the two hunters will face each other at the most important match of the week. After seven consecutive victories, the Lobos could not leave Napoli with three points. This stop couldn't have come at a worst time, as the Diavolos have finally recovered their shape and will be merciless against a doubtful Rome. During last week's second time Francesco Totti's team revealed many weaknesses which were invisible since last year, and they need to feed on Diavolos' energy to confirm they are ready to withstand anyone on their way to the top.

Three consecutive victories have taken Milan back for the fight at the top, as it seems the loss against Internazionale had a big effect on Leonardo and his players. Much was feared in the match against Atalanta regarding Alexandre's Pato future, who had to leave the game due to a severe muscular fatigue. Team's doctors thought he will be sidelined for three weeks, but it seems he'll be able to return to the team against Chievo. Now team's coach will have to decide whether Klaas-Jan Huntelaar or Fillipo Inzaghi will have to replace the young Brazilian star. They can get just one point from the top and leave their opponents behind in just one movement, and Milan players need to understand it fast on their trip to Rome.

Almería vs Barcelona Match Preview

Barcelona will have the opportunity to temporarily expand their lead to 5 points when they face Almería away to the Estadio Mediterraneo this Saturday.

At first glance, Almeria are clearly the underdogs; but to some extent, they will have the power to decide the future of the Catalans, as the situation is plain.

Holding Barcelona to a draw would be enough to let Real Madrid join Barcelona at the top of La Liga if Los Blancos overcome Sevilla on the same night.

Almeria – Mission Possible?

Almeria might not have a great name with a set of star players at their disposal, but their Spanish record in recent weeks has not been as bad as one could think.

In their last 5 games

Almeria have remained unbeaten in their last 5 matches after they lost 1-0 away to Sevilla on January 23 earlier this year.

They drew 1-1 against Valladolid on January 31, and they showed even much more fire 7 days later as they defeated Sporting Gijon 3-1 at home.

A week later, they travelled to Getafe for a tough encounter, but not even the Castellans could humble them; the score line eventually ended in a 2-2 draw.

1-0 was the result of their next game at home against Atletico Madrid in front of 10,000 supporters in the third week of February.

Just recently, Almeria silenced Racing Santander by winning by 2 goals to nil away from home.

In general, their mission this weekend should not seem too difficult for them, especially not in view of their consistent and threatening form.

The advantages

Going into this game, Almeria have two major advantages.

The first benefit comes from the fact that they will be playing as the home side. Fatigue and intimidation can therefore not be excuses for their side, for on the contrary – they will be fighting the league leaders with full strength.

The second advantage is that, as a result of a nice behavior against Racing Santander last weekend, Almeria only have one player being marked with a yellow card. All the rest of their players should be fit and free to come up against Barcelona in perfect condition.

Barcelona – Keeping the authority

Lately, the Barcelona football club has been receiving critics from both their fans and general football lovers. Followers have been complaining to the team about their unstable form which has given their rivals Real Madrid a huge mental boost.

The stumbling block which has been confronting the Blaugrana has also put in doubts Barcelona’s dream of winning the Spanish Primera Division as well as the UEFA Champions League.

A convincing comeback from this unexpected predicament is urgent at the moment, and the whole state of affairs has now become a “do or die” matter for the Barcelona players, as well as for the managing staff.

Pep Guardiola – We are back to our best

Barcelona had to struggle to find a crucial 2-1 victory against Malaga last weekend at the Camp Nou, as a late goal from FIFA Player of the Year Lionel Messi secured the 3 points for the European giants.

This win kept Barca’s lead at the top of La Liga, and coach Pep Guardiola believes that such an important triumph is the proof of his team’s restoration.

“We probably had one of our best matches at home, and we can say that we’ve done very well,” said Guardiola.

“We have been much better than in previous encounters.

“We have found our form back and we played amazingly, so this is the path to follow now.”

Almeria vs Barcelona – Previous meetings

Almeria and Barcelona have met 5 times since the 28th of October 2007, and in approximately 450 minutes, Barca have netted 12 goals – as they have never lost against the Andalusians.

Barcelona’s best victory came back in October 2008, when Thierry Henry and Dani Alves joined Samuel Eto’o – then at the club – in the 5-0 demolition of Almeria.

Almeria have only managed to get 2 goals past the goal line of the Catalans, but their 2 only goals came in a stunning match, in which they held Barcelona 2-2 at the Estadio Mediterraneo.

Perhaps, Almeria could rely on this famous match result this Saturday when they come face to face with the league leaders; but in the meantime, here is a quick look at the 5 previous meetings between Almeria and FC Barcelona:

28 October, 2007: Barcelona 2-0 Almeria

16 March, 2008: Almeria 2-2 Barcelona

25 October 2008: Barcelona 5-0 Almería

15 March, 2009: Almería 0-2 Barcelona

3 October, 2009: Barcelona 1-0 Almeria

Predictions

The fact that FC Barcelona will be playing as the visitors makes it a little bit difficult to predict an exact score line, but at least, overall information from both sides leaves us with an idea of how this encounter could look like from a general point of view.

Barcelona are expected to throw a cautioning starting line-up against Almeria, with Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez, and Dani Alves all expected to start the match at any rate.

Miraculous striker Pedro Rodriguez is not yet assured of a place in the first eleven this weekend for his club, but he could get a feel of the game due to his brilliant performance last weekend.

Almeria will also try to resist the opposing forces by forming a restraining side, partially organized through Pablo Piatti, Albert Crusat, Kalu Uche, Hernán Bernardello, Chico, and Diego Alves.

Naturally, with both teams having to play for specific targets, the game is likely to be quite tempting, even though it might lack of speed and accurate passes on some occasions.

In the end though, if Barcelona do not succeed in destroying their opponents with a flood of goals, they might go for a 2-0 win, or a 2-1 victory – if they concede.

La Liga Standings (top 5) – March 6, 2010

Barcelona still maintain the first place in La Liga 2 points ahead of archrivals Real Madrid, but Almeria definitely need to use more energy if they are to leave the 13th position to enter the first half of the table.

Here is how the standings in La Liga are for the top 5 clubs, as of March 6, 2010:

Barcelona – 61 points

Real Madrid – 59 points

Valencia – 46 points

Sevilla – 43 points

Mallorca – 40 points

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester United Match Preview

Wolves manager Mick McCarthy displayed a fine madness and got tricky with his line-up against Manchester United last time out. Will he do the same again?

Wolverhampton manager Mick McCarthy’s sleight-of-hand with his line up was the main talking point of his club’s previous game with Manchester United.

McCarthy fielded a controversial squad against United at Old Trafford that saw 10 changes from their previous match. In short, McCarthy had fielded a reserve squad against the mighty Red Devils.

McCarthy’s reserves were casually thumped 3-0. Had the man lost his managerial marbles?

Perhaps not all…although there was madness in his method!

Later, under post-match interrogations by the press and the FA, McCarthy revealed his motive: Rest the first team boys. (They were unlikely to beat United anyway.) And with rest, maybe they could actually win a game later on.

A week later McCarthy’s well-rested boys beat rivals Burnley!

Madness…? Perhaps! But what a fine madness McCarthy manifested.

Arsenal vs Burnley Match Preview

It’s almost top of the league versus almost bottom of the league as third place Arsenal host 19th place Burnley at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday; one is fighting for honors, the other for survival.

Arsenal’s victory celebration last week following the come-from-behind 1-3 win over Stoke City at Britannia stadium was overshadowed by the terrible injury suffered by young Welsh international Aaron Ramsey, whose leg was broken in a challenge by Stoke’s Ryan Shawcross.

The horror of the incident was such that replays were not shown. But the looks of the players on the pitch told all. The incident surely reminded the Gunners of the injuries suffered by teammates Eduardo and Abou Diaby in recent years.

Conspiracy theory

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is convinced that the Shawcross challenge is a symptom of overly physical tactics other teams adopt when playing his club.

Others among the Arsenal contingent, however, are using Ramsey’s misfortune as a rallying call for a redoubled effort to win the league for their fallen teammate. It’s certainly a more positive response to the event and could have beneficial consequences.

The Gunners are currently in third place, two points behind Manchester United and three behind Chelsea.

Easy run in for Arsenal?

With 10 games left in their season the fixture list for Arsenal could be characterized as favorable. Seven of their upcoming matches are against clubs residing in the lower half of the table.

Burnley this weekend is one such club. Hull, West Ham, Wolves, Wigan and Blackburn are also upcoming.

Against second-to-last Burnley at the Emirates Stadium the Gunners will have a good opportunity to pick up three points. And although this may not allow them to overtake Manchester United, it will certainly allow them to keep the pace while they hope for United and Chelsea to falter as they have each done this season already.

Besides Ramsey and long term injury Robin van Persie, Arsenal are likely to be without Gallas, Gibbs and Diaby, all of whom are injured, as well as Alex Song who is out through suspension.

Survival at stake for Burnley

Burnley is fighting for Premier League survival when they meet Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Manager Brian Laws would undoubtedly prefer the game to be at Turf Moor where the Clarets have a much better record.

Of their 16 losses this season only three were at home. One of those three was a stunner last week against Portsmouth, the only club lower on the table than Burnley. The corollary? Thirteen of their 16 losses were away from home. Against Arsenal this weekend they’ll be away from home.

Will the vintage claret be ready?

The Clarets last encounter with Arsenal produced a 1-1 draw at the Turf Moor, with age-defying Scot Graham Alexander equalizing from the penalty spot. But going into this weekend’s match that particular vintage claret has been out for five games with a calf injury.

Yet manger Brian Laws is hopeful that Alexander will be available for the Arsenal match.

"We have missed his vocal support on the pitch and his organisation,” said Laws. "That's something we are going to need because we need to be organised and we need to have good communication, particularly with the way Arsenal play” reiterated the manager somewhat redundantly.

Injuries

Scotland international Steven Fletcher is also questionable for the match against Arsenal having broken a bone in his hand during training with the Scotland squad. Defenders Caldwell and Kalvenes and midfielder Chris McCann are also listed on the injury list.

So far in 2010 the Clarets have averaged one win a month in all competitions, so they are due one in March. It’s unlikely to come at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, however.
