Watford have conceded two or more goals in six of their last eight matches and they have failed to score in six of their last 10.

Atalanta is doing great this season, and after 6 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats they are currently placed 5th in the standings, with 22 points, two points behind fourth-placed Cagliari. However, in their latest 3 matches, they dropped some points, as they recorded 2 draws and 1 loss, so they are looking for a way to get back on track and win again.

My issue is obviously one of frustration. Seven cameras haven't picked it up - the most technical league in the world - everything we see at every angle and it hasn't seen a goal.

I did have a laugh and joke beforehand that we have had some poor decisions go against us and I said I wouldn't bet against one going against us this evening. We were waiting for somebody at Stockley Park to show a bit of courage and say they will make that decision, but if they've not seen it and seven cameras haven't seen it I suppose they will say that it was not their decision to make.

A match not to miss'They may feel superior, but the idea of Malmo progressing at their expense will not be an enticing one for FC Copenhagen supporters, with the constant exchange of people between the two cities ensuring the ripple effect from Thursday's result will be inevitable.
He could easily have claimed that he meant it, and he had scored enough unique goals in the past to make that a credible scenario. Instead he walked off with an air of mild disgust.

Jihlava after many games played after the restart finally managed to win once, it happened last round away from home at 2nd from bottom Sokolov side where they scored 3 goals and won the game with 3-1 in the end.

Abbott's plan for MLS was approved by FIFA as a legacy of the 1994 World Cup in the United States. He also played a key role creating the league's structure and negotiating with the initial investor-operator group.

On TV it appears to go straight in but from the moment I connected with it, it looked to me like it was going to go wide. Then it shifted to the left a bit and I was thinking it was going to hit the post - then it came inside a bit more and suddenly I was thinking 'it's going in… it's going in!'It took a while to actually cross the line and creep into the corner but in the end it was perfect, just perfect.
