Rennes have won the last two matches at home against their opponents with Rennes being a good team in form. With both teams coming from a holiday they will be rusty but Rennes are likely to field their full strength team since they are at least 6 more days before next match.
Northampton need to improve their away record and this is a good chance to do just that. They are second in the table but that's mainly due to the fact they have won all four of their home matches. Their two away losses have come against sides in the top six and this trip to Wasps is a bit easier. The home side have lost five of their seven matches and two out of three at home. They won last week but against an out-of-form team. Go for Northampton to win this match.
The scintillating form has been in large part sparked by Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who Ancelotti has paired up front and who both scored -- and provided each other with an assist -- in Saturday's 3-1 home win over Crystal Palace.

Victory kept alive Oxford's hopes of returning to the second tier for the first time since 1999, while Pompey's narrow defeat ensured they will face a ninth consecutive season playing below the Championship. Monday's late drama saw the Hampshire club exit the play-offs at the semi-final stage for a second straight year, after their defeat by Sunderland over two legs in 2019. Oxford and Pompey had been level on points in the table before the coronavirus pandemic saw football suspended in March, both sitting just two points off an automatic promotion place, and they were placed fourth and fifth respectively when the division was curtailed using an average points-per-game system.

Neither they nor Arsenal are going to have changed too much since we last saw them - you just know City will have trained loads with the ball and they will play good, attacking, football. I don't think Arsenal will have found a steely resolve in midfield or defence, because they have just not got it. I would expect City to win because, regardless of the fact they are playing in an empty stadium, they have got better players than Arsenal.

His loan deal expires on June 30 – as does Victor Moses’ from Chelsea – but if they are in-form, why would United or Chelsea let them stay in Italy when they’re scrapping for a spot in the top four? It gets worse for Inter.

Barring their loss to Lyon, Leipzig have been very useful in Group G, winning three, drawing one, scoring multiple goals in four out of five. They look a strong outfit, especially in the final third, though, in keeping with the group, they too have been a bit weak at the back. Without leaking goals to the extent that some of their rivals have, Leipzig have managed just one clean sheet.
They have also lost more points from winning positions than any other Premier League side this season (12), bringing into question whether the players had the motivation to fight on their manager's behalf. And, for a club with Champions League aspirations and one now settled into a world-class stadium, it is perhaps this final statistic that sealed Pochettino's fate. Tottenham's tally of 14 points is their lowest after 12 games of a Premier League season in 11 years.
Karvina is one of the relegation candidates in the league, they did collect quite some points in the March month when the season first started but after the pandemic they have been really poor starting off with a 0-0 draw away at Opava but next game they had the lead 1-0 at home with Sparta Prague and ended up losing it with 4-1 in the end and next game they early found themselves 2-0 behind away from home at Slovacko and that was the way the game ended.

We are going to the Bundesliga 2 game where Erzgebirge Aue meet Hannover 96. The local team is in the middle of the table and after two consecutive defeats beating the over goals in 4 of the last 5 matches I hope they can score one or more goals today. On the other hand, Hannover 96 comes after the 4-0 victory against St. Pauli and overcoming the over in the last 5 games I think we can see three or more goals without much trouble.

Johnson threatened to pull the club out of Europe the following season because of Uefa's choice of venue for the final, and complained they had lost money on the tie because of the small crowd.
