While Leipzig and United do battle in Germany, Paris are at home to İstanbul Başakşehir, who will finish fourth regardless of the outcome of the final two games. • To guarantee qualification Leipzig need to win, though a draw would also suffice if Paris lose. The German club will finish first if they win and their French rivals do not. • United will qualify if they avoid defeat. They will top the group if they better Paris's result, or if both matches are drawn. • United inflicted Leipzig's heaviest European loss at Old Trafford on Matchday 2, Marcus Rashford coming off the bench to score a hat-trick in the final 16 minutes in a 5-0 home victory. Form guide Leipzig • Leipzig have won both home games in the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League, beating İstanbul Başakşehir (2-0) and Paris (2-1). They lost their first two away games, going down at United and Paris (0-1), before a crucial 4-3 victory at İstanbul Başakşehir on Matchday 5, substitute Alexander Sørloth scoring an added-time winner (90+2) with his first goal for the club. • This is Leipzig's third UEFA Champions League group campaign, all in the last four seasons, and their fourth foray into European football overall. • The 2019/20 campaign proved to be the most successful in Leipzig's brief European history, Julian Nagelsmann's side going all the way to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. Leipzig picked up 11 points to finish first in their section – they had come third in their two previous group stage campaigns in UEFA competition – ahead of Lyon, Benfica and Zenit. • Leipzig then beat 2018/19 runners-up Tottenham in their first UEFA Champions League knockout tie (1-0 a, 3-0 h) before a 2-1 defeat of Atlético de Madrid in their one-off quarter-final in Lisbon prior to a 3-0 semi-final defeat by Paris. • Leipzig have now won 11 of their 21 UEFA Champions League fixtures (D3 L7). • The German side have won their last three home European games and are unbeaten on their own ground since a 2- 0 loss to Lyon on Matchday 2 last season; their home record since is W4 D1. • Third in the Bundesliga for the second season in a row in 2019/20, this is Leipzig's fourth European campaign and only their 40th match. In 2017/18 they became the first team to make their European debut in the UEFA Champions League group stage.

  • Celtics Secure 7Th Seed for Playoffs Sabonis Leads Pacers Past Hornets in Play-In Round
    ARAB TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 20, 2021 16 Torino’s Sasa Lukic (right), vies for the ball during the Italian Serie A soccer match between Lazio and Torino, at Rome’s Olympic Stadium, Italy. Torino ensured they will remain in Serie A next season after playing Lazio to a 0-0 draw that also confi rmed Ben- evento’s relegation. (AP) Sports Latest sports scores at — http://sports.arabtimesonline.com Celtics secure 7th seed for playoffs Sabonis leads Pacers past Hornets in play-in round BOSTON, May 19, (AP): The Boston Celtics were one of the NBA’s worst teams over the final month of the regular season. Thanks to Jayson Tatum, they’ll still have a chance to make a play- off run. Tatum scored 32 of his 50 points in the second half, and the Celtics rallied to beat the Washington Wizards 118- 100 in the play-in round on Tuesday night. Kemba Walker added 29 points for Boston, which secured the seventh seed for the playoffs and a fi rst-round matchup with second-seeded Brook- lyn. That series opens on Saturday. Tatum has drawn criticism at times for his quiet leadership style. He said Tuesday’s performance was how he wants to lead. The Celtics struggled down the stretch, dropping 10 of their fi nal 15 games of the season. Coach Brad Ste- vens said having to respond was in line with a season in which they had to fi ght through multiple players be- ing unavailable because of injuries and stints in the league’s health and safety protocols.

Each approach is applied to two problems: regression and classifi- cation. The last four seasons of English Premier League is collected and analyzed. Each approach and problem is tested several times with different hyperparameters in order to find the best performance.

  • BMO Management Strategies of Football Clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie
    BSc-Thesis – BMO Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie Name Student: Mylan Pouwels Registration Number: 991110669120 University: Wageningen University & Research (WUR) Study: BBC (Business) Thesis Mentor: Jos Bijman Date: 1-23-2020 Chair Group: BMO Course Code: YSS-81812 Foreword From an early age I already like football. I like it to play football by myself, to watch it on television, but also to read articles about football. The opportunity to combine my love for football with a scientific research for my Bachelor Thesis, could not be better for me. During an orientating conversation about the topic for my Bachelor Thesis with my thesis mentor Jos Bijman, I mentioned that I was always interested in the management strategies of organizations. What kind of choices an organization makes, what kind of resources an organization uses, what an organization wants to achieve and its performances. Following closely this process in large organizations is something I like to do in my leisure time. My thesis mentor Jos Bijman asked for my hobbies and he mentioned that there was a possibility to combine my interests in the management strategies of organizations with my main hobby football. In this way the topic Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie was created. The Bachelor Thesis Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie is executed in a qualitative research, using a literature study. This Thesis is written in the context of my graduation of the study Business-and Consumer Studies (specialization Business) at the Wageningen University and Research. From October 28 2019 until January 23 I have been working on the research and writing of my Thesis.
