Sassuolo protested that Berardi had been fouled and were incensed that the referee refused to review the incident. The visitors were also angry after Criscito put Genoa ahead with a 29th-minute penalty, awarded after Antonio Sanabria went down under the slightest of touches from Pedro Obiang.

In terms of a correct score tip, the hosts have built much of their success on a strong defensive foundation so should be hard to breakdown. However, their visitors have scored five in their last six so, even though they concede an average of 1.83 goals per game on the road and have conceded two or more in each of their last three matches, it appears they may be able to cause some trouble for the defensive minded hosts. With this in mind, backing a 2-1 home win looks to be the way to go.
Let's get started by recapping a few of the top stories on this subject. Manchester City have issued a statement criticising Kyle Walker following newspaper reports that the England star had a sex party during lockdown Wayne Rooney believes Premier League footballers have been made out to be "scapegoats" by UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock and the Premier League Wayne Rooney 'told off by police for breaking coronavirus lockdown rules by meeting friend Kyle Walker' Reminders from the papers that Aston Villa star Jack Grealish also had to issue an apology for ignoring his own social distancing advice First to recap Rooney's quotes over the weekend to provide balance from the negative reports on footballers in the tabloids.
The hosts ended last year in tough fashion, with trips to two of the league’s top four. A win at Famalicao and a loss at Porto left them hosts in midtable, but that still left them with an impressive away record in the Primeira Liga. The hosts are hoping that their home form will now improve in 2020, which could take them into the top half.

During the normal season Randers FC won both games against Horsens and both of them home and away from home with the same score 2-1 wins for them, while in this group stage they played really relaxed losing first with 4-2 at a desperate Esbjerg side and second winning 4-0 at home against a very defensive minded Hobro sided who a couple of weeks ago during the normal season denied the chance of Randers to finish inside the top 6 places by winning with a lot of luck with 1-0 here, but Randers is relaxed and scoring goals for fun.

St Etienne come into this game having only won two out of seven home league games. It's not an easy place to go and get a win though as only Metz have beaten them in the league this season. Four of their seven home league games have ended in a draw. There haven't been that many goals being scored though with 13 in those seven matches and five out of seven have had under 2.

After joining Novara in Italy from Boavista at the age of 17, without having played a first-team game in Portugal, he moved to Udinese. He stayed for three years before causing a stir on his arrival at Sampdoria by taking on the jersey forever connected with club legend and current Italy boss Roberto Mancini.
It's like a normal influenza but you still have to be careful. The championship? Open doors, closed doors, postponements, whatever you do, it's influenced by outside factors. Playing behind closed doors is the death of football, it's unreal. Those who play at home do not have the support of the public, so I do not like it.
But Michael Woods got Dover's winner with two minutes to go to break the travelling fans' hearts. We threw everything at it," Barrow fan Taylor Nelson told BBC Sport. We made all three changes and ended up with five strikers up front to try and get something out of the game - and that worked. But from that point Dover realised they were able to be less conservative and attack us as we lacked numbers at the back.
Currently U20 Nicaragua has gone 3/4 of the way and the battle to the throne is about to end with the championship gradually in the hands of Managua FC U20.

This is a derby game of this round. I can see here good game where both teams have quality and both will have something to show. I must be honest here. Visitors do far show far the best football in this season. But it is not so easy to win against Torpedo at their home ground. Last season game finished 3-3 and I can see here again good and efficient game and draw at the end. Both teams should be satisfy with point here and I will put money on that. Also, we can bet on over 2.5 goals as well.

I have said to the boys already, two weeks ago, that we will have a winter break, so it means we will not be there -- it will be the kids who play that game because they cannot deal with us like nobody cares about it. I know it is not very popular, but that's the way I see it. The Premier League asked us to respect the winter break and that's what we'll do.

Willian: Ross Barkley may have got the goal that put Chelsea through to the FA Cup semi-finals but the Blues were going nowhere without the guile and craft of Willian. A few days later Willian almost masterminded an impressive comeback against West Ham and would have done so had Chelsea defended better. The Blues are one match away from a Wembley final and chasing a Champions League spot. However, neither of those issues will pose Frank Lampard the same headache as what to do about Willian's future.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0Georgia's prediction: 3-1 Bournemouth v Aston VillaBournemouth finally got back to winning ways last time out against Brighton but Aston Villa will be on a high after their Carabao Cup semi-final win. Villa have taken four points from their past two games in the Premier League too and I just have a feeling they will edge this one as well. Their win over Leicester to book their place at Wembley should really kick them on for the remainder of the season, because their players will be playing for a chance to start that final.
Nemanja Matić lent back and whipped the ball into the net at the near post, which only increased the confusion. On the touchline, Pep Guardiola grew a whole new head of hair, then tore it all out again. All of which gave the tie an air of tension that nobody really expected. For United, this was yet another of those confusing performances where they manage to inconvenience an obviously better side.
