Uefa Champions League UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - 2017/18 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS (First leg: 2-2) Wembley Stadium - London Wednesday 7 March 2018 Tottenham Hotspur FC 20.45CET (19.45 local time) Juventus Round of 16, Second leg UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OFFICIAL SPONSORS Match background 2 Legend 5 1 Tottenham Hotspur FC - Juventus Wednesday 7 March 2018 - 20.45CET (19.45 local time) Match press kit Wembley Stadium, London Match background Tottenham Hotspur FC staged a fine fightback to earn a first-leg draw at Juventus, and will look to finish the job as the teams reconvene at Wembley. • Spurs' prospects looked bleak when the Italian champions, through Gonzalo Higuaín, raced into a 2-0 lead within nine minutes at the Juventus Stadium. Harry Kane halved the deficit, however, and after Higuaín had smashed a penalty against the crossbar on the stroke of half-time, Christian Eriksen's second-half free-kick ensured the sides would travel to London level at 2-2 – although with the English club having two potentially vital away goals. • Tottenham have by far the less experience of the two – this is just their second last-16 tie – but will not want for confidence having finished top of a section including holders Real Madrid CF and collected 16 points, more than any other team in this season's competition, including wins in all three home matches. • Juventus finished second behind FC Barcelona in Group D but are in the round of 16 for the ninth time and have plenty of recent knockout pedigree, having reached the final in 2015 and 2017. Match background Tottenham • Having struggled at Wembley in Europe last season, Tottenham won all three matches at the stadium in Group H this time round, prevailing 3-1 against both Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid before a 3-0 defeat of APOEL FC on matchday six. • Before beating Dortmund, Tottenham had won just one of their previous five European home fixtures. They took only three points from their three home group games in 2016/17, losing to AS Monaco FC (1-2) and Bayer 04 Leverkusen (0-1) before a 3-1 victory over PFC CSKA Moskva on matchday six. • Tottenham are unbeaten in their seven home matches against Italian opponents (W4 D3). Overall, their 16 fixtures against Italian teams have ended W5 D7 L4. • They boast a strong record in two-legged ties against Italian opponents: W4 L1. The sole defeat was a 3-1 aggregate reverse against ACF Fiorentina in the 2014/15 UEFA Europa League round of 16 (1-1 home, 0-2 away); they beat the Viola in their most recent game against Italian opposition, winning 3-0 at home at the same stage of the 2015/16 competition to complete a 4-1 aggregate success; Erik Lamela scored the second goal. • Tottenham have won all six of the UEFA competition ties in which they drew the away first leg, most recently that 2016 tie with Fiorentina (1-1 away, 3-0 home). They beat RSC Anderlecht on penalties in the 1984 UEFA Cup final after drawing 1-1 both away and in London. • Spurs have never recorded a 2-2 draw in an away first leg before. • Tottenham's record in three UEFA penalty shoot-outs is W1 L2: 1-4 v FC Basel 1893, 2012/13 UEFA Europa League quarter-final 5-6 v PSV Eindhoven, 2007/08 UEFA Cup round of 16 4-3 v RSC Anderlecht, 1983/84 UEFA Cup final Juventus • The Italian side's record in the round of 16 is W5 L3. Twelve months ago they beat FC Porto 3-0 on aggregate at this stage (2-0 away, 1-0 home) having lost to FC Bayern München at the same stage in 2015/16. • Juve opened this season with a 3-0 loss at Barcelona but are unbeaten in their last six games (W3 D3), qualifying for the knockout stages thanks to a 2-0 win at Olympiacos FC on matchday six. • Juve collected four points on their travels in this season's group stage to finish second behind Barcelona in Group D, picking up a 1-1 draw at Sporting in between the defeat in Spain and win in Greece. • The 0-0 draw at Barcelona in last season's quarter-final second leg was the only one of Juve's six away matches in 2016/17 that they failed to win, with five clean sheets and just one goal conceded to 12 scored. Defeat at the Camp Nou on matchday one ended a six-game unbeaten away run in Europe. • Juve are on a seven-match (W3 D4) unbeaten run against Premier League clubs, winning their last three fixtures before this tie – most recently a 1-0 home defeat of Manchester City FC in the 2015/16 group stage. • The Bianconeri's record away to English clubs is W3 D6 L12. Their most recent trip brought a 2-1 win at City in September 2015, extending their unbeaten away run against Premier League sides to three matches (W1 D2); Juve had lost their previous seven games in England. • Juve's record in two-legged knockout ties against English clubs is W5 L8. They have lost the last five ties, most 2 Tottenham Hotspur FC - Juventus Wednesday 7 March 2018 - 20.45CET (19.45 local time) Match press kit Wembley Stadium, London recently to Fulham FC in the 2009/10 UEFA Europa League round of 16 (3-1 home, 1-4 away). • Juve have won all but two of the eight UEFA competition ties in which they drew the home first leg. The sole exceptions are the first, against Wolverhampton Wanderers FC in the 1971/72 UEFA Cup quarter-finals when a 1-1 home draw preceded a 2-1 away loss, and the most recent, against Bayern in the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League round of 16. • Then, as now, Juve were held 2-2 in the Turin first leg; Bayern were 4-2 winners after extra time in the Munich return. Juventus had won both their previous UEFA competition ties where the home first leg finished 2-2; against Borussia Dortmund in the 1994/95 UEFA Cup semi-finals (2-1 away) and Djurgårdens IF in the 2004/05 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round (4-1 away). • The Italian team's shoot-out record is W3 L3: 2-3 v AC Milan, 2002/03 UEFA Champions League final 4-2 v AFC Ajax, 1995/96 UEFA Champions League final 1-3 v Real Madrid CF, 1986/87 European Cup second round 4-2 v Argentinos Juniors, 1985 European/South American Cup final 1-4 v Widzew Łódź, 1980/81 UEFA Cup second round 3-0 v Ajax, 1977/78 European Cup quarter-final Coach and player links • Fernando Llorente played for Juventus between 2013 and 2015, scoring 27 goals in 92 games in all competitions and winning the Scudetto twice and the Coppa Italia once. • Llorente scored Sevilla's winner against Juve on matchday six in 2015/16, condemning the Bianconeri to second place in the group. • Juan Cuadrado played 13 Premier League games for Chelsea in 2015. • Wojciech Szczęsny made 132 league appearances for Arsenal between 2010 and 2015. He faced Spurs eight times (W4 D2 L2). • Lamela scored 19 goals in 62 Serie A matches for AS Roma between 2011 and 2013, with the record W1 D1 L2 against Juve. He was sent off in a Coppa Italia 3-0 defeat in 2012. • Lamela was in CA River Plate's youth system when Gonzalo Higuaín was playing for the Argentinian giants between 2005 and 2006. • Toby Alderweireld scored in AFC Ajax's 2-0 win at Massimiliano Allegri's AC Milan in the 2010/11 UEFA Champions League group stage. • Allegri was the coach of the Milan side beaten 1-0 on aggregate by Tottenham in the 2010/11 round of 16, the English club's sole previous appearance in the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds. • Harry Kane and Eric Dier both scored as England defeated 3-2 a Germany side including Sami Khedira in a March 2016 friendly. • Italy, featuring Gianluigi Buffon, Andrea Barzagli and Giorgio Chiellini, beat Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen's Belgium 2-0 in the UEFA Euro 2016 group stage.

  • Time Series Modeling for Dream Team in Fantasy Premier League
    ICSE-2017 / 000–0000 International Conference on Sports Engineering ICSE-2017, 23-25 October 2017, Jaipur, India Time Series Modeling for Dream Team in Fantasy Premier League Gupta, Akhil1 1 D​ epartment of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, India Abstract - The performance of football players in English Premier League varies largely from season to season and for different teams. It is ​ evident that a method capable of forecasting and analysing the future of these players’ on-field antics shall assist the management to great extent. In a simulated environment like Fantasy Premier League, enthusiasts from all over the world participate and manage the players catalogue for the entire season. Due to the dynamic nature of points system, there is no known approach for the formulation of dream team. This study aims to tackle this problem by using a hybrid of Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) for time series prediction of player points and subsequent maximisation of total points using Linear Programming (LPP). Given the player points for the past three seasons, the predictions have been made for the current season by modelling differently for ARIMA and RNN, and then creating an ensemble of the same. Prior to that, proper data preprocessing techniques were deployed to enhance the efficacy of prepared model. Constraints on the types of players like goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards along with the total budget were effectively optimised using LPP approach. The validation of the proposed team was done with the performance in ongoing season, where the players outperformed as expected, and helped in strengthening the feasibility of the solution.

  • Guido Friedrich Scouting Book Sponsored by 168Million
    Guido Friedrich scouting book sponsored by 168Million Foreword Finding and developing talent are key elements in scouting youth players. The scout is looking for talented players and visits the trainings, matches and tournaments. He observes, records and reports. As an international scout for AFC Ajax, I use the scouting forms that can be found in this guidebook. For 20 years, I have experienced that this systematic way of marking players, is a good tool to monitor and record the player’s progress.
