Match Facts, H2H & Predictions 30.08.2020 15:00 Celtic vs Motherwell News Celtic lost 2-1 to Ferencvaros at Parkhead, so Neil Lennon made three changes after that and one of them was pretty strange – he decided to play without a recognised striker. James Forrest replaced Odsonne Edouard and Ryan Christie played as an unusual centre forward. Motherwell is missing a few players because of an injury, Nathan McGinley for example will miss the match because of a groin injury and Jake Carroll and Charles Dunne are still in treatment. Liam Donnelly had a knee injury, so he is expected to be out for two months. The Well brushed Glentoran off 5-1 in Europa League qualifying, so Stephen Robinson has made a few changes in midweek. David Turnbull’s last match was 1-0 defeat to Accies and he is joining their opponents here.

Stephen Robinson was hoping for Motherwell’s European victory. Both of these teams will have it difficult and both of them have a lot to prove. BetPlusWin Suggestion: Home Team Win Over 2.5 goals Both Team to Score – YES Celtic 2:1 Motherwell 16:30 Hibernian vs Aberdeen News Hibs against St Johnstone ended in 1-0 at McDiarmid Park, so Jack Ross made just one change. Hibees changed their formation from a  4-4-2 to a 4-2-3-1, because Kevin Nisbet dropped out for Scott Allan, given that he is injured. Scott Allan was happy with his 200th career appearance and his 101st for Hibs. If Kevin Nisbet wasn’t injured, he would probably be included in Steve Clarke’s squad for the Nations League double header against Israel and Czech Republic. Aberdeen won 6-0 at Pittodrie against NSI Runavik and reverted to an attacking 3-5-2 formation. Ross McCrorie played alongside Andy Considine and Scott McKenna. Goals came from Jonny Hayes, Curtis Main and Lewis Ferguson. The number nine partnered Marley Watkins and grabbed his first of the season. Match Facts Last 3 matches Hibernian have kept a clean sheet (Premiership). Over 2.5 goals seen by Hibernian in their last 3 home matches against Aberdeen in all competitions. Under 2.5 goals scored in Hibernian’s last 3 games (Premiership). Last 6 away matches Aberdeen are undefeated (Premiership). Last 5 matches Hibernian are undefeated (Premiership).

Even though they have clean sheets in their last three matches, last campaign they needed 20 matches to reach three clean sheets. Aberdeen, on the other hand, had consecutive league victories and although they showed a great performance, Hibs are considered slight favourites here, even though both sides could easily win against each other. BetPlusWin Suggestion: Draw Under 2.5 goals Both Team to Score – YES Hibernian 1:1 Aberdeen 12:00 Reims vs Lille News Moussa Doumbia is recovering from a shoulder injury, so is a doubt here and he didn’t make the trip to Monaco last weekend. Anastasios Donis suffered an ankle injury during training and is also a doubt. El Bilal Touré will probably keep his place here, as he scored Reims’ second against Monaco. Zeki Çelik will return in the XI here, as he recovered from an injury. Domagoj Bradaric will replace Reinildo, who was sent off last weekend. Even though Burak Yilmaz only came off the bench against Rennes, he is expected to return here. Match Facts Under 2.5 goals scored in 9 of Reims’s last 10 home games (Ligue 1). Under 2.5 goals seen by Reims in 7 of their last 8 matches against Lille in all competitions. 5 of their last 6 home matches Reims have won against Lille in all competitions.

In their previous match, they have played in 3-5-2 formation. Carles Gil had surgery on his Achilles and won’t play for 3-5 months. Another player that will miss the season is Luis Caicedo because of an knee injury. Tommy McNamara and Kekuta Manneh went through quarantine and will also miss out. Match Facts Last 3 matches against New England where DC United have drawn in all competitions.

DC United had some options in attack, but still had a hard time creating chances. Given the recent events, a draw might be the likely outcome here. BetPlusWin Suggestion: Draw Under 2.5 goals Both Team to Score – YES DC United 1:1 New England 00:30 Philadelphia Union vs New York Red Bulls News Kai Wagner will probably be back for this match, even though he missed the last few matches, but has now returned to training. New York Red Bulls had no problems with injuries before this match. Match Facts At least 2 goals scored in their last 3 matches against Philadelphia by New York in all competitions. H2H Stats Head-to-head matches: PHILADELPHIA UNION – NEW YORK RED BULLS 20.10.19 MLS Philadelphia Union New York Red Bulls 4 : 3 (3 : 3) 23.09.19 MLS New York Red Bulls Philadelphia Union 2 : 0 09.06.19 MLS Philadelphia Union New York Red Bulls 3 : 2 21.10.18 MLS Philadelphia Union New York Red Bulls 0 : 1 17.06.18 USO Philadelphia Union New York Red Bulls 2 : 1 Prediction Philadelphia had a very good MLS is Back tournament and they are considered as one of the most interesting young teams in the league. NYRB started by winning 1-0 against NYCFC. Philadelphia are the slight favourites here. BetPlusWin Suggestion: Home Team Win Under 2.5 Both Team to Score – NO Philadelphia Union 1:0 New York Red Bulls 00:30 Chicago Fire vs FC Cincinnati News Kenneth Kronholm will miss out the season because of an ACL injury and Luka Stojanovic had a MCL surgery. Other players that will also miss out because of an injury are Gutjahr and Kappelhof. Spencer Richey as well, due to a concussion. Possibly, McLaughlin might miss out the match too, due to an ankle injury. Match Facts 10 wins, 9 draws and 8 losses in the past 27 games for Chicago Fire. The winning rate is 37%. 4 wins, 6 draws and 15 losses in the past 25 games for FC Cincinnati. The winning rate is 16%. H2H Stats Head-to-head matches: CHICAGO FIRE – FC CINCINNATI 22.09.19 MLS FC Cincinnati Chicago Fire 0 : 0 14.07.19 MLS Chicago Fire FC Cincinnati 1 : 2 21.02.19 CAR Chicago Fire FC Cincinnati 1 : 1 29.06.17 USO FC Cincinnati Chicago Fire 1 : 0 Prediction After the MLS is Back tournament, Chicago had a really hard time and struggled to create chances and made defensive errors. After a clean sheet in their last three games, FC Cincinnati are becoming known as a great defensive unit, so it’s not hard to assume they might leave with a victory here. BetPlusWin Suggestion: Away Team Win Over 2.5 Both Team to Score – YES Chicago Fire 1:2 FC Cincinnati 01:00 Montreal Impact vs Vancouver Whitecaps News Ballou Tabla had an adductor injury and will miss the match. Steeven Saba is set to miss out as well, because of a foot injury. After going out of the MLS is Back tournament, this will be Impact’s first match in a month. Maxime Crepeau might be unavailable until October because of a fractured thumb. Another player with an adductor strain that will miss the match too is Janio Bikel. Due to a right quad strain, Erik Godoy missed the MLS is Back tournament and the previous match against Toronto and is a doubt here as well. Yordy Reyna apparently broke the club rules and wasn’t featured in their previous match against Toronto. He might not be featured here either because of that. Match Facts Over 2.5 goals in Montreal’s last 5 matches against Vancouver in all competitions. H2H Stats Head-to-head matches: MONTREAL IMPACT – VANCOUVER WHITECAPS 29.08.19 MLS Montreal Impact Vancouver Whitecaps 2 : 1 26.07.18 CHA Vancouver Whitecaps Montreal Impact 2 : 0 19.07.18 CHA Montreal Impact Vancouver Whitecaps 1 : 0 05.03.18 MLS Vancouver Whitecaps Montreal Impact 2 : 1 31.05.17 CHA Montreal Impact Vancouver Whitecaps 4 : 2 Prediction During the MLS is Back tournament, Impact lost three of their four matches and this will be their first match in a month. Vancouver have also struggled since the tournament, so it’s hard to choose a favourite here. BetPlusWin Suggestion: Draw Under 2.5 Both Team to Score – YES Montreal Impact 1:1 Vancouver Whitecaps 16:30 Lokomotiv Moscow vs FK Akhmat News Aleksey Miranchuk and Dmitry Barinov have both suffered injuries in Moscow’s derby last weekend and will miss the match. Because of an ACL injury, Barinov will probably be out for about six months. Fyodor Smolov had a minor injury, but is expected to recover for Wednesday’s match. Rizvan Utsiev is a doubt here because he is receiving a treatment for a long-term groin injury. Wilker Ángel will also miss the match because of an injury. Zoran Nizic, on the other hand, has made a full recovery from a head injury he suffered and will be available for selection.

Match Facts, H2H & Predictions 25.08.202016:30 16:30 FC Tambov vs PFC Sochi News Aleksey Gritsaenko was suspended and missed out last time, but is now available again. In the Tuesday’s match against PFC Sochi, the head coach Sergey Pervushin has the opportunity to choose from a full squad. Dmitry Poloz joined FC Rostov, after leaving the club last week. Anton Zabolotny is a doubt here because he suffered an injury last time in Volgograd. Ivelin Popov is expected to be available for selection, after joining the Sochi outfit last weekend. Anatoly Nemchenko,  Erik Vardanyan and Aleksey Pomerko have all suffered injuries and will miss the match. Match Facts 6 of their last 7 matches FC Tambov have lost (Premier League). At least 2 goals conceded by FC Tambov in 9 of their last 11 matches (Premier League). 12 of their last 13 matches where PFC Sochi are undefeated (Premier League). Over 2.5 goals scored in PFC Sochi’s last 3 away games (Premier League). H2H Stats Head-to-head matches: TAMBOV – SOCHI 16.07.20 PL Tambov Sochi 3 : 0 02.11.19 PL Sochi Tambov 1 : 2 13.04.19 FNL Tambov Sochi 0 : 3 23.09.18 FNL Sochi Tambov 0 : 0 Prediction FC Tambov have lost three times in four matches. PFC Sochi are the favourites for the three points when they visit Saransk on Tuesday and after four matches are still undefeated. BetPlusWin Suggestion: Away Team Win Under 2.5 goals Both Team to Score – NO FC Tambov 0:1 PFC Sochi 18:30 Arsenal Tula vs Khimki News Aleksandr Denisov and Maksym Belyaev are doubts here, missing last match because of an injury. Artur Nigmatullin is also a doubt for Tuesday’s match, after suffering an injury to his face against Dynamo Moscow last weekend. Other players that also suffered injuries and will probably not be available for selection are Evans Kangwa and Yuri Kovalev. Kirill Bozhenov and Bryan Idowu were sent off and suspended in the match against FK Akhmat. Vladimir Dyadyun is also a doubt for the upcoming visit to Tula and he missed last match because of an injury. Aleksandr Filin had a back injury and is still under treatment and he will probably not recover for the next match. Match Facts 3 losses from 4 matches for FK Khimki. 2 scored goals in 4 matches for FK Khimki, 0.50 per match. H2H Stats Head-to-head matches: ARSENAL TULA – KHIMKI 23.06.15 CF Khimki Arsenal Tula 0 : 2 Prediction Arsenal Tula have lost two times in a row and had their first victory of the season last weekend against Dynamo Moscow and are favourites for the upcoming match. FC Khimki, on the other hand, have just one point from four matches, so the supporters are not happy and want the new head coach Dmitry Gunko to be dismissed. BetPlusWin Suggestion: Home Team Win Under 2.5 goals Both Team to Score – NO Arsenal Tula 1:0 Khimki  

Match Facts, H2H & Predictions 24.08.2020 00:00 Ceara vs Bahia News Eduardo Brock and Felipe have both suffered injuries and will probably miss the match. Klaus will also miss the match as a result of an injury. Cleber will most probably come back to the starting XI. Charles have suffered a minor injury on Thursday and is unlikely to play. Goalkeeper Douglas Fredrich was injured in midweek and needed to be evaluated, so he missed the trip to Fortaleza. Anderson will start as a substitute for Douglas. Match Facts Last 11 matches where Ceara have failed to win (Brasileirão). Last 5 matches against Bahia where Ceara have failed to win in all competitions. H2H Stats Head-to-head matches: CEARA – BAHIA 05.08.20 COP Bahia Ceara 0 : 1 01.08.20 COP Ceara Bahia 3 : 1 15.02.20 COP Ceara Bahia 2 : 2 22.10.19 SA Bahia Ceara 1 : 2 09.06.19 SA Ceara Bahia 0 : 0 Prediction In the four matches they’ve played this season, Ceara have lost three times and had one draw, so a victory would be great news for them. They haven’t had one since they won against Bahia in the Copa do Nordeste. They had a 3-0 home loss to Vasco da Gama on Wednesday and even though they played well most of the match, Vasco took advantage and scored three second-half goals. But on the other hand, they won against Bahia twice recently, so they will be hoping to do it again. In their last three matches, Bahia won two and draw one in their last match away at Sao Paulo. BetPlusWin Suggestion: Draw Under 2.5 goals Both Team to Score – YES Ceara 1:1 Bahia

Match Facts, H2H & Predictions 23.08.2020 20:00 Paris Saint-Germain vs Bayern Munich News Keylor Navas missed Paris Saint-Germain’s semi-final victory over RB Leipzig because of an injury and is still a doubt here. The Italian Marco Verratti was not supposed to play until next season, but surprisingly came off the bench against Leipzig. Leandro Paredes will probably be on the side to make room for Verratti, even though he showed a great performance in his last two appearances for PSG. In the match against Leipzig, Kylian Mbappe has lined up on the left, but now all three forwards will probably rotate, bearing in mind the space left behind Alphonso Davies, Bayern Munich left-back. This is going to be the last match for PSG for Thiago Silva. If Hansi Flick wants Joshua Kimmich moved back into midfield, then Benjamin Pavard is an option for a start at right-back. He played in Wednesday’s semi-final, in Bayern Munich’s 3-0 win over Lyon, after returning from an injury. Jerome Boateng is now a major doubt for Bayern, after coming off at half-time against Lyon. Niklas Sule is expected to fill in for Sunday’s final and is on standby at the moment. Match Facts Over 2.5 goals scored in 28 of PSG’s last 33 games (Champions League). Last 10 matches won by Bayern (Champions League). At least 3 goals scored in Bayern’s last 6 matches (Champions League). 8 of their last 10 matches won by PSG (Champions League). Over 2.5 goals scored in Bayern’s last 6 games (Champions League). 5 of their last 6 matches where Bayern were winning at both half time and full time (Champions League). Over 2.5 goals in PSG’s last 3 matches against Bayern in all competitions. At least 2 goals scored by PSG in 5 of their last 6 matches (Champions League). H2H Stats Head-to-head matches: PARIS SG – BAYERN MUNICH 21.07.18 ICC Bayern Munich Paris SG 3 : 1 05.12.17 CL Bayern Munich Paris SG 3 : 1 27.09.17 CL Paris SG Bayern Munich 3 : 0 18.10.00 CL Bayern Munich Paris SG 2 : 0 26.09.00 CL Paris SG Bayern Munich 1 : 0 Prediction After a really long time, Paris Saint-Germain have finally made it to their first ever Champions League final. They showed a terrific performance playing against RB Leipzig in the semi-final and won 3-0, so they really shouldn’t be underestimated. Robert Lewandowski is, amazingly, only two goals behind Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of 17 in a single Champions League campaign, so Bayern actually average 4.2 goals per game this season. So, they obviously have the power for a victory against PSG. Previously, in the matches against Barcelona and Lyon, they didn’t manage to take advantage of the space behind Alphonso Davies at left-back, but now things might be different because PSG have Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Angel Di Maria, that can clearly give a lot of headaches to the German team. This final could possibly be one of the most interesting finals recently. BetPlusWin Suggestion: Away Team Win Over 2.5 goals Both Team to Score – YES Paris Saint-Germain 2:3 Bayern Munich 15:00 Aberdeen vs Livingston News Aberdeen vs St Johnstone ended with 1-0 at McDiarmid Park in midweek. They chose an unusual 3-5-2 formation because, for different reasons, they are missing a lot of players. In the St Johnstone game, Ross McCrorie was given a Dons debut at centre back by Derek McInnes. Since February 2019, Tommie Hoban has made his first appearance. Andy Considine was suspended for two matches and has only served one match. Scott Wright made his first appearance in almost a year, partnering with Niall McGinn, who played as one of two unusual strikers. Because few senior players were missing, Dean Campbell was a real surprise in midfield. Livi decided to go for a 4-2-3-1 formation and held the infamous Rangers 0-0 at the Tony Macaroni Arena. Jason Holt partnered club captain Marvin Bartley in the middle of the park, coming into midfield and making his Lions debut. Jack Hamilton took Lyndon Dykes’s place up front, as was left out of the matchday to play Rangers. Also, during the week, he completed his move to Queen’s Park Rangers. Match Facts Last 12 matches against Livingston where Aberdeen are undefeated in all competitions. 5 of their last 6 home matches Aberdeen have lost (Premiership). At least 2 goals scored by Aberdeen in 6 of their last 7 matches against Livingston in all competitions. Last 8 matches where Livingston have failed to win (Premiership). 1 goal margin in 5 of their last 6 home matches where Aberdeen have lost (Premiership). H2H Stats Head-to-head matches: ABERDEEN – LIVINGSTON 26.12.19 PRE Aberdeen Livingston 2 : 1 21.09.19 PRE Livingston Aberdeen 0 : 2 16.03.19 PRE Aberdeen Livingston 1 : 1 29.12.18 PRE Livingston Aberdeen 1 : 2 11.12.18 PRE Aberdeen Livingston 3 : 2 Prediction In only their second match, Aberdeen’s few of the backup brigade have already secured their first three points of the league season. Derek McInnes should be encouraged by their ability for a late winner and also their clean sheet. Livingston had an unusual start to the season, with only three goals scored – one in the home defeat to Hibs and two in the draw away at Motherwell, where they also fired two blanks. They were defeated by St Mirren, but Gary Holt should now be happier because they showed a great defence against Rangers last weekend. Hopefully, Livingston will find a suitable replacement for Lyndon Dykes soon. BetPlusWin Suggestion: Home Team Win Under 2.5 Both Team to Score – NO Aberdeen 1:0 Livingston 16:30 St. Johnstone vs Hibernian News In the match between St Johnstone against Aberdeen, Jamie McCart was back at the back. Callum Davidson’s Saints lost 1-0 to a drained Dons team at McDiarmid Park. Saints changed their formation to a 3-5-2 and Dan McNamara and Scott Tanser played as wing-backs. The strike duo Stevie May and Chris Kane and also Zander Clark and Murray … Read more

Match Facts, H2H & Predictions 22.08.2020 Dijon vs Angers News Julio Tavares will be unavailable for at least three weeks because of an hamstring issue. At the weekend, he was forced off in a friendly match against Lens. Other players that are unavailable as well are Mama Baldé, who also has a hamstring issue and Senou Coulibaly, who has ankle problems. It’s likely that Stéphane Jobard will turn to Aurelien Scheidler to lead the line, even though he’s not experienced, only because Tavares is absent. Rayan Aït Nouri will miss the match because he tested positive for coronavirus, but was actually expected to leave the club anyway. Paul Bernardoni is expected to start in goal. Another option for Stéphane Moulin to lead the line is Rachid Alioui. Match Facts Under 2.5 goals scored in Angers’s last 6 games (Ligue 1). 20 of their last 22 matches against Dijon where Angers are undefeated in all competitions. Last 12 home matches where Dijon are undefeated (Ligue 1). Last 3 matches where Angers have kept a clean sheet (Ligue 1). Last 3 matches won by Angers (Ligue 1). Over 2.5 goals in Dijon’s last 3 home matches against Angers in all competitions. H2H Stats Head-to-head matches: DIJON – ANGERS 31.08.19 L1 Angers Dijon 2 : 0 02.02.19 L1 Angers Dijon 1 : 0 15.09.18 L1 Dijon Angers 1 : 3 19.05.18 L1 Dijon Angers 2 : 1 20.12.17 L1 Angers Dijon 2 : 1 Prediction In the last few weeks, Dijon didn’t have much luck with injuries and losing Baldé and Tavares will certainly add even more problems. Angers are the slight favourites here. BetPlusWin Suggestion: Away Team Win Under 2.5 Both Team to Score – NO Dijon 0:1 Angers Lille vs Rennes News Sven Botman is expected to partner with José Fonte in defence. Gabriel is about to join Arsenal. Jérémy Pied, the ex-Southampton defender, will probably start at right-back. Mehmet Zeki Çelik is expected to move to Tottenham and is struggling with his fitness at the moment. Burak Yilmaz and Jonathan David will probably lead the line. In pre-season, James Lea Siliki and Gerzino Nyamsi suffered some injuries and are now unavailable to play. Eduardo Camavinga will most likely play after the international break because he is still recovering from a hamstring injury. Match Facts Under 2.5 goals scored in Rennes’s last 7 away games (Ligue 1). 22 of their last 23 home matches against Rennes where Lille are undefeated in all competitions. 6 of their last 7 matches won by Lille (Ligue 1). 5 of their last 6 matches where Lille have kept a clean sheet (Ligue 1). Last 3 matches where Rennes have won (Ligue 1). At least 2 goals scored by Rennes in their last 3 matches (Ligue 1). H2H Stats Head-to-head matches: LILLE – RENNES 04.02.20 L1 Lille Rennes 1 : 0 22.09.19 L1 Rennes Lille 1 : 1 24.05.19 L1 Rennes Lille 3 : 1 06.02.19 CDF Rennes Lille 2 : 1 11.08.18 L1 Lille Rennes 3 : 1 Prediction This match might be one of the most awaited match-up of the weekend. All last season, the two teams fought for the Champions League and both made key signings this summer. Even without the fans, Lille’s manager Christophe Galtier’s sides are always strongest at home, so Lille has a slight advantage here. BetPlusWin Suggestion: Home Team Win Over 2.5 Both Team to Score – YES Lille 2 : 1 Rennes  

Match Facts, H2H & Predictions 21.08.2020 00:00 Sao Paulo vs Bahia News Sao Paulo’s Walce and Hernanes will miss the match against Bahia. Bahia doesn’t have any suspensions or injuries to report and will be selecting from a full squad. Match Facts 34 of their last 38 home matches Sao Paulo are undefeated (Brasileirão). Last 4 matches against Sao Paulo where Bahia have kept a clean sheet in all competitions. Under 2.5 goals in Sao Paulo’s last 5 matches against Bahia in all competitions. Under 2.5 goals scored in 7 of Sao Paulo’s last 8 home games (Brasileirão). Last 3 home matches where Sao Paulo were winning at both half time and full time (Brasileirão). Over 2.5 goals scored in Bahia’s last 4 away games (Brasileirão). 1 goal margin win for Sao Paulo in their last 3 home matches (Brasileirão). H2H Stats Head-to-head matches: SAO PAULO – BAHIA 10.10.19 SA Bahia Sao Paulo 0 : 0 30.05.19 COP Bahia Sao Paulo 1 : 0 23.05.19 COP Sao Paulo Bahia 0 : 1 19.05.19 SA Sao Paulo Bahia 0 : 0 09.09.18 SA Sao Paulo Bahia 1 : 0 Prediction Bahia won the two matches they were playing, so they had a pretty good start to the season, even though in their last match they won without really showing a great game. They didn’t create a lot of chances and Bragantino wasn’t much better. One highlight worth mentioning is that they scored from two corners. Sao Paulo lost to Vasco da Gama and are hoping for a victory now. They did create more chances than the other team, but it wasn’t enough for a win. Bahia will certainly have a hard time with Sao Paulo. BetPlusWin Suggestion: Sao Paulo 2:1 Bahia 00:00 Ceara vs Vasco da Gama News Players that probably won’t play the match because of an injury are Eduardo Brock, Tiago Pagnussat, Felipe and Vinicius. Klaus will also miss the match as a result of an injury. Cleber is expected to come back to the starting XI. Bruno Cesar will miss the match with Ceara and the trip to Fortaleza because he tested positive for Coronavirus. Other players that will also miss the trip are Pikachu and Vinícius, because they are both injured. Match Facts Under 2.5 goals scored in Ceara’s last 11 home games (Brasileirão). Last 3 home matches drawn by Ceara against Vasco da Gama in all competitions. Under 2.5 goals in 7 of Ceara’s last 8 matches against Vasco da Gama in all competitions. Last 10 matches not won by Ceara (Brasileirão). Last 6 matches where Vasco da Gama are undefeated against Ceara in all competitions. Last 5 matches where Vasco da Gama are undefeated (Brasileirão). H2H Stats Head-to-head matches: CEARA – VASCO 26.10.19 SA Ceara Vasco 1 : 1 14.06.19 SA Vasco Ceara 1 : 0 02.12.18 SA Ceara Vasco 0 : 0 21.08.18 SA Vasco Ceara 1 : 1 26.11.16 SB Vasco Ceara 2 : 1 Prediction Ceara are still without a victory this season in the league, but in recent years they can show for a good record at home, so maybe they will have a chance against Vasco. They played vs Atletico Minerao on Sunday and had a good defence, but conceded a penalty in the second half, which was a good news for Atletico because they gifted them a goal. Vasco, on the other hand, won two matches from two, but this match now will be their first trip away from home. They are triumphant in their last six meetings against Ceara, who had their last victory back in 2014 and hope to change this with the upcoming match. BetPlusWin Suggestion: Ceara 1:1 Vasco da Gama 18:00 Bordeaux vs Nantes News Brazilian Pablo is still recovering from an ACL injury, so he will miss the match. He will probably return again in October. The tactic of the new manager Jean-Louis Gasset is believed to be 4-2-3-1 line, which is quite different from the three-man defence which his predecessor Paulo Sousa used. Yacine Adli has a thigh injury and is not available. Mexer, Benito and Vukasin Jovanovic have only returned to training this week. It is expected that Pedro Chirivella, the former Liverpool player, will make his debut here in midfield. Samuel Moutoussamy should also start in midfield. Abdoulaye Touré is recovering from COVID-19, so he is not available. Marcus Coco is recovering from a knee injury, so he is still absent and Ludovic Blas and Mehdi Abeid are recovering from the coronavirus.
