Preview: Leeds United vs. Millwall – prediction, team news, lineups
Sports Mole previews Saturday’s FA Cup clash between Leeds United and Millwall, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
Leeds United will put their Championship title bid to one side when they play host to fellow second-tier outfit Millwall at Elland Road in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday lunchtime.
The Whites will be seeking revenge against the Lions after suffering a 1-0 league defeat at The Den in November last year.
Match preview
© ImagoLeeds extended their impressive unbeaten record in all competitions to 14 matches after beating Coventry City 2-0 away from home on Wednesday night, keeping their sixth consecutive clean sheet in the process.
After scoring a brace in the Whites’ thumping 7-0 victory over Cardiff City last weekend, Joel Piroe opened the scoring against Coventry before Jayden Bogle added a second just before the half-hour mark to send the South Yorkshire side five points clear at the top of the Championship table.
Daniel Farke was complementary of his side’s “top-class performance”, but he has encouraged his players to be “much more efficient” and was critical of their “cutting edge” in the final third against Coventry, something that he believes could prove costly against strong opponents.
Leeds will soon face a challenging run of Championship fixtures against Watford, Sunderland, Sheffield United and West Bromwich Albion, but they must first turn their attention to the FA Cup as they endeavour to reach the fifth round for the third successive season.
The Whites, who beat Harrogate Town 1-0 in the third round last month, will fancy their chances of success on Saturday as they have won eight of their last nine home meetings with Millwall in all competitions.
© ImagoMillwall failed to win any of their first four Championship matches under the tutelage of new head coach Alex Neil, but they have since come out on top in each of their last three matches, most recently beating Queens Park Rangers 2-1 at The Den last weekend.
Aaron Connolly‘s opener inside just 30 seconds was swiftly cancelled out by an Alfie Lloyd equaliser just three minutes later during a frantic start to the contest, but the Lions had debutant Luke Cundle to thank for netting what proved to be the winning goal on the 25-minute mark.
Nine points accumulated over the space of eight days has helped Millwall climb up to 14th in the Championship standings, 13 points clear of the relegation zone and only four points behind the playoff positions with 16 league games still remaining.
Millwall are now bidding to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time since 2018-19, but they travel to Elland Road this weekend having lost each of their last six ties against teams from the same division or higher than themselves, including a 3-2 defeat against last season’s Championship winners Leicester City.
The Lions, who beat non-league outfit Dagenham & Redbridge 3-0 in the third round last month, have never faced Leeds before in the FA Cup. The only previous cup competition in which they have lock horns with the Whites was the short-lived Full Members’ Cup, winning 2-0 in second-round ties in December 1987 and November 1988.

Team News
© ImagoLeeds’ only injury concern is with striker Patrick Bamford, who is yet to return to training after a spell on the sidelined recovering from a hamstring injury.
Farke has confirmed that he will “probably rotate on a few more than just one or two positions” this weekend, so key players including Joe Rodon, Ethan Ampadu, Ao Tanaka, Daniel James and Piroe may all begin as substitutes or be rested entirely.
Karl Darlow, Josuha Guilavogui, Pascal Struijk, Sam Byram, Joe Rothwell, Wilfried Gnonto, Mateo Joseph and Largie Ramazani were among those who started in the third-round win over Harrogate, the latter of whom scored the only goal in that game, and they will be hoping to force their way back into the first XI on Saturday.
As for Millwall, Femi Azeez has stepped up his return from injury and has returned to training, while Neil has also confirmed that Josh Coburn is back on the grass. Whether either player makes an appearance in the matchday squad remains to be seen, though.
Shaun Hutchinson and Aidomo Emakhu are also not too far away from a comeback, while Ryan Leonard is targeting a return from a calf injury at the end of March.
Casper De Norre was on target in the third-round win over Dag & Red and he is in contention to start in centre-midfield alongside either George Saville or Billy Mitchell, while the likes of Macaulay Langstaff, Duncan Watmore and George Honeyman will all be pushing for a recall.
Leeds United possible starting lineup:
Darlow; Schmidt, Guilavogui, Struijk, Byram; Gruev, Rothwell; Gnonto, Aaronson, Ramazani; JosephMillwall possible starting lineup:
Jensen; Crama, Tanganga, Cooper, Bryan; Mitchell, De Norre; Watmore, Honeyman, Connolly; Ivanovic
We say: Leeds United 2-0 Millwall
A fiery North-South battle could be on the cards this weekend between two in-form teams who will back themselves to reach the fifth round. Leeds will be regarded as favourites to come out on top, though, and should find a way to get the better of the Lions, even if Farke is to make multiple changes to his lineup.

Leeds United will face off against Millwall in a highly anticipated match this weekend. Both teams will be looking to secure three points and continue their strong start to the season.Prediction:
Leeds United are currently sitting at the top of the table with an impressive record, while Millwall are not far behind in the standings. This match is sure to be a close battle, but with Leeds’ strong form and home advantage, they are likely to come out on top. I predict a 2-1 win for Leeds United.
Team News:
Leeds United will be without midfielder Kalvin Phillips, who is serving a suspension after picking up a red card in their last match. However, they have a strong squad and are expected to field a competitive lineup.
Millwall will be missing striker Tom Bradshaw, who is out with an injury. They will need to rely on their other attacking options to step up and fill the void.
Lineups:
Leeds United: Meslier, Ayling, Cooper, Struijk, Dallas, Klich, Rodrigo, Harrison, Raphinha, Bamford, Roberts
Millwall: Bialkowski, Romeo, Hutchinson, Cooper, Malone, Woods, Leonard, Wallace, Wallace, Bennett, Smith
This match promises to be an exciting one, with both teams eager to secure a victory. Stay tuned for the final result and post-match analysis.

Big picture: Opportunity for precious game time in Pakistan
A triangular ODI series is something of a curiosity that belongs in a museum more than it does in 2025. Pakistan last hosted one in 2004, and there have been none in the ODI format anywhere since 2019. When this particular series was announced not long ago, it stood out – it is the only ODI tri series in the current FTP.Pakistan, New Zealand and South Africa will play a truncated version of the classic tri-series, with just one round of matches followed by a final. The schedule was likely squeezed by the SA20 at one end and the Champions Trophy at the other, and it is that upcoming ICC event – the first hosted by Pakistan in nearly three decades – which gives the series context.
While South Africa’s squad is weakened by player commitments at the SA20 and injuries, Pakistan and New Zealand, who take each other on in the opener, have pretty much full-strength sides. Both have named near-identical squads for this series and the Champions Trophy, and had two practice sessions at the rebuilt Gaddafi Stadium, which will officially be inaugurated on Friday, on the eve of the first game.For each side, it offers the opportunity for precious match practice in conditions where the Champions Trophy will be held in the main (with India’s matches in Dubai). Pakistan and New Zealand will also open the marquee tournament, though that game will take place in Karachi and not Lahore. Both have played exactly nine ODIs each since the end of the 2023 World Cup, and all in very different conditions to this. While Pakistan won each of their three recent ODI series, New Zealand fell short in the one they played in the subcontinent, a 2-0 reversal against Sri Lanka.
However, it’s not as if they are short of match practice in this country. Since December 2022, they have played two Tests, eight ODIs and ten T20Is in Pakistan across four series. On most of those occasions, though, multiple factors meant New Zealand sent in weakened squads, with larger context to build up to. This time, however, there is a multi-team trophy on the line, all while preparing for the second-biggest title in ODI cricket.
It offers the visitors a chance to trial what appears a healthy balance between seam and spin in Pakistan. Captain Mitchell Santner will have Rachin Ravindra, Michael Bracewell and Glenn Phillips for slow bowling company, while they also have a battery of fast bowlers – no fewer than six – in their tri-series squad.Pakistan appear to have shown their hand slightly more, with just one full-time spinner alongside Salman Ali Agha, their most plausible part-time spin option. There is a bit of tinkering required at the top, where it appears Fakhar Zaman, back in from the cold, will open with Babar Azam, an experiment the PCB are testing ahead of the Champions Trophy. With this their only game before the deadline to make changes to the squad on February 11, there is more riding on it for them than just the eventual outcome of the contest.Form guide
Pakistan WWWWW (last five completed matches, most recent first)
New Zealand LWWLLIn the spotlight: Babar Azam and Lockie Ferguson
Babar Azam is always in the spotlight, but things are different this time. With Saim Ayub’s injury and Abdullah Shafique’s loss of form, ESPNcricinfo understands Pakistan’s former captain is expected to be called upon to open the batting to provide stability up top. He has, with polarising effect, performed this role in T20 cricket for several years, and more recently stood in as Test opener in Cape Town, scoring a half-century in each innings. In ODIs, however, all but 14 of his innings have come at three, and as he looks to navigate his way out of a difficult run of form, a change of position in his most prolific format will guarantee all eyes on him.Lockie Ferguson has not played ODI cricket since the tail-end of 2023, but with Pakistan also naming four seamers in their squad, this may be a series where express pace is a factor. Fresh off a respectable showing in the ILT20, where he places among the top-ten wicket-takers, the 33-year-old Ferguson is the oldest fast bowler across all three sides this tri-series, but also the quickest. Against a makeshift Pakistan opening pair and, in Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan, middle-order players more accomplished against spin than high pace, Ferguson’s extra heat presents a locus of vulnerability for Pakistan, and a point of difference for New Zealand.Team news: Saim Ayub is out of action
Ayub, recovering from an ankle injury, is out of the series and the Champions Trophy. Pakistan are expected to open with Fakhar and Babar, with three premier seam bowlers and Abrar Ahmed as lone frontline spinner. The middle order will see some rotation over the series.
Pakistan (likely) 1 Fakhar Zaman, 2 Babar Azam, 3 Kamran Ghulam, 4 Mohammad Rizwan (capt, wk), 5 Tayyab Tahir/Saud Shakeel, 6 Salman Agha, 7 Khushdil Shah, 8 Shaheen Afridi, 9 Naseem Shah, 10 Haris Rauf, 11 Abrar Ahmed
New Zealand have two opportunities to work out their best side here before the deadline for the Champions Trophy squads shuts. The conditions would suggest three fast bowlers at a minimum. With all of New Zealand’s spinners also handy batters, balance of the side is not much of an issue.
New Zealand (possible) 1 Devon Conway, 2 Will Young, 3 Rachin Ravindra, 4 Kane Williamson, 5 Daryl Mitchell, 5 Tom Latham (wk), 7 Glenn Phillips/Michael Bracewell, 8 Mitchell Santner (capt), 9 Lockie Ferguson, 10 Matt Henry, 11 Will O’Rourke
Pitch and conditions
This is a bit of a mystery, with the entire ground rebuilt recently. Historically, though, the Gaddafi has produced flat batting surfaces and reward for extra pace in ODI cricket. Overhead conditions are likely to be more overcast than sunny, with temperatures dipping in the evening, but no rain is expected.
Stats and trivia
- Babar has only opened twice in ODI cricket, in a bilateral series against England in 2015. He scored 26 runs across his two innings
- Ferguson is one wicket away from becoming the 19th New Zealander to 100 ODI wickets
- Pakistan last hosted an ODI tri-series in 2004, featuring Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. It was called the Paktel Cup, after a telecommunications company that no longer exists. Sri Lanka beat Pakistan in the final then
Quotes
“You have to look at what the pitch, opposition and conditions are like before you finalise a team. This time around, even the Gaddafi Stadium is new to us.”
Mohammad Rizwan feels Pakistan will also need to acclimatise to the new Gaddafi Stadium“We’ve seen [Tim] Southee and [Trent] Boult do it for a long time for us and do an extremely good job. We’ve got some new guys coming through alongside the experience of Matt Henry, and some good fast bowling stocks.”
Mitchell Santner believes New Zealand’s pace bowling is in a good placeDanyal Rasool is ESPNcricinfo’s Pakistan correspondent. @Danny61000
The Tri-Nation 2024/25 tournament is set to kick off with an exciting clash between Pakistan and New Zealand in the first match. Both teams will be looking to start their campaign on a winning note and lay down a marker for the rest of the tournament.Pakistan, led by their dynamic captain Babar Azam, will be looking to continue their recent good form and build on their success in the T20 format. With a strong batting line-up featuring the likes of Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman, they will be confident of putting up a good total on the board.
On the other hand, New Zealand, under the leadership of Kane Williamson, will be looking to bounce back from their recent series loss and make a strong statement in this tournament. With a balanced squad including the likes of Martin Guptill and Tim Southee, they will be a tough challenge for Pakistan.
The pitch at the venue is expected to be flat and conducive to strokeplay, so we can expect a high-scoring encounter between these two teams. Both sides will need to be at their best to come out on top in this match.
Overall, it promises to be an exciting contest between two evenly matched teams. Stay tuned for what promises to be a thrilling start to the Tri-Nation 2024/25 tournament.

#TriNation #PAK #1st #Match #Match #PreviewFight By Fight Preview | UFC 312: Du Plessis vs Strickland 2
Before Du Plessis and Strickland run it back, strawweight queen Zhang Weili defends her title against unbeaten challenger Tatiana Suarez in a fascinating co-main event matchup.
Zhang made just one appearance in 2024, but it was a memorable one, as the two-time titleholder rallied to defeat her compatriot Yan Xiaonan in a thrilling back-and-forth battle at UFC 300. The Chinese standout has now earned four straight victories and consecutive successful title defenses since reclaiming the belt towards the end of 2023, and will look to remain atop the division while handing Suarez her first professional loss this weekend in Sydney.
Long considered a future champion, the 34-year-old Suarez finally gets the opportunity to challenge for UFC gold. The former Olympic wrestling hopeful and Ultimate Fighter winner has earned six wins and four finishes since her time on the long-running reality TV competition, and looks to become the sixth woman to sit atop the 115-pound weight class by maintaining her unblemished record and turning back Zhang.
This is a fascinating contest on a number of levels, beginning with the stylistic dynamic between these two. Zhang has utilized her grappling and physicality more in recent bouts to control and subdue opponents, but Suarez is a phenomenal wrestler and grappler who has yet to be bested or tested on the canvas. There are also the contrasting questions about age and health, as Zhang is now 35 years old and closing in on 30 professional appearances, while Suarez has struggled to remain healthy and hasn’t fought since submitting Jessica Andrade in August 2023.
Will it be “And Still” or “And New” when this one is over?
UFC 312 is just around the corner, and fight fans are buzzing with excitement for the highly anticipated rematch between middleweight contenders Du Plessis and Strickland. In their first encounter, Strickland emerged victorious with a dominant performance, but Du Plessis is eager to avenge his loss and prove that he is the superior fighter.In this Fight By Fight Preview, we will break down each matchup on the card and give our predictions for how the night will unfold.
Main Event: Du Plessis vs Strickland 2
In the main event, Du Plessis and Strickland will face off once again in a battle for middleweight supremacy. Strickland’s striking prowess and relentless pressure proved to be too much for Du Plessis in their first meeting, but Du Plessis has shown significant improvement in his game since then. It will be a closely contested fight, but we predict that Du Plessis will come out on top this time with a TKO victory in the later rounds.
Co-Main Event: Santos vs Johnson
In the co-main event, Santos and Johnson will go head to head in a featherweight showdown. Santos is known for his explosive striking and knockout power, while Johnson is a well-rounded fighter with slick submissions and solid wrestling. This fight could go either way, but we believe Santos will secure a unanimous decision victory with his superior striking skills.
Other Key Matchups:
– Rivera vs Perez: This bantamweight clash promises to be a back and forth battle, but we see Rivera edging out Perez with a split decision win.
– Silva vs Rodriguez: Two heavyweights with knockout power, Silva and Rodriguez will put on a show for the fans. We predict Silva will emerge victorious with a devastating knockout in the first round.Overall, UFC 312 is shaping up to be an electrifying event with plenty of exciting matchups. Make sure to tune in on fight night to witness all the action unfold!

#Fight #Fight #Preview #UFC #Plessis #StricklandPistons vs Cavaliers preview: JB Bickerstaff gets another chance at his old squad
After being on the wrong side of a Trae Young game-winner, championship contenders Cleveland Cavaliers waltz into Little Caesars Arena for their third game in four nights— this will be JB Bickerstaff’s third game against his former team this year.
The Detroit Pistons are coming off a day of rest, so they have a slight advantage in that department. Even still, they’re facing one of the best teams in the league coming off a loss, so it’ll be a tall task.
Game Vitals
When: 7 p.m. ET
Where: Little Caesars Arena, Detroit, Michigan
Watch: Fan Duel Sports Network Detroit
Odds: Pistons +6Analysis
Neither of the Cavs-Pistons matchups have been close this year. The Cavs have shown the Pistons there are levels to this contending business.
Detroit’s lone All-Star, Cade Cunningham, is arguably having a better season than anyone on the Cavs’ roster. Still, their trio of All-Stars, Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Evan Mobley, have been a handful for Detroit and the league as a whole (Jarrett Allen has been amazing, too).
Garland is healthy this year after facing several injuries last year that prevented him from playing at a high level. Mobley’s offensive leap and consistent defense have him on All-NBA watch. Mitchell’s counting stats aren’t as attractive as in past years, but Cleveland is spreading the wealth around. They won’t be a one-man army in these playoffs.
The playoffs are somewhere the Pistons could end up. They’re the 6th seed currently, and the bottom of the East is a jumbling pile of inconsistency. The defense wasn’t sharp against Atlanta, but they can hang their hat on that side of the ball most nights. Ausar Thompson joining the starting five on Jan. 4 and Detroit’s defense surging simultaneously isn’t a coincidence.
Thompson’s last outing against Atlanta was one of his best of the year. He displayed swarming defense and mostly finished around the hoop. Jalen Duren has benefited the most from Thompson’s insertion into the starting five. Duren’s room for error is wider, with Thompson constantly cutting off opponents’ water.
In Duren’s own right, he catches every lob thrown to him and plays bully ball in spurts. He dominated Nikola Vucevic last Sunday. Vu isn’t a standout defender, but Duren took his soul from a physicality standpoint. That’ll be tough to do against Mobley and Allen. Though Duren is much stronger than both, they’re savvy defenders who override their thin frames with length, positioning, and IQ.
Cade’s high IQ shows up when he’s carving up different coverages he faces. His seven assists in the 1st quarter against the Hawks was a career-high for any quarter. I love his pace and how he takes what the defense gives him. He’s been on a tear over the seven games, averaging 30 and 10. Detroit will need everything he has to compete with the 40-10 Cleveland Cavaliers. They’ll also need Malik Beasley to continue doing Malik Beasley things. Beas is 21 3s away from passing Saddiq Bey for most 3s in a season in Detroit. He’ll obliterate that record and may crack 300 makes. In the last game, his defense was shakier than usual, but he played Young as tough as possible on that last possession. That was just a tough make.
Projected Lineups
Cleveland Cavaliers (40-10)
Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Max Strus, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen
Detroit Pistons (25-25)
Cade Cunningham, Tim Hardaway Jr, Ausar Thompson, Tobias Harris, Jalen Duren
Question of the Day
Is it crazy to say Cade should be at least 2nd Team All-NBA right now today?
The Detroit Pistons are set to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in a highly anticipated matchup, and all eyes will be on Pistons head coach JB Bickerstaff as he faces his former team once again.Bickerstaff, who previously served as the head coach of the Cavaliers, will be looking to lead his Pistons to victory over his old squad. This will be the second time this season that Bickerstaff has faced off against the Cavaliers, and he will surely be looking to make a statement.
The Pistons have shown flashes of potential this season, with young stars like Cade Cunningham and Isaiah Stewart leading the way. They will be looking to build on their recent success and come out on top against the Cavaliers.
On the other side, the Cavaliers have been a surprise team this season, led by the dynamic duo of Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen. They will be looking to continue their strong play and secure a win against a familiar foe in Bickerstaff.
This game is sure to be a competitive and exciting matchup, as both teams look to gain the upper hand in the Eastern Conference standings. Be sure to tune in to see if Bickerstaff can lead his Pistons to victory against his old team once again.

Preview: Atalanta BC vs. Bologna – prediction, team news, lineups
Sports Mole previews Tuesday’s Coppa Italia clash between Atalanta BC and Bologna, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
This season’s Coppa Italia quarter-finals, featuring only top-flight sides, will see Atalanta BC host Bologna at the Gewiss Stadium on Tuesday in what will be the first-ever cup meeting between the sides.
La Dea reached this stage of the competition after thrashing Serie B side Cesena 6-1, while the Red and Blues eased past Monza with a 4-0 victory.
Match preview
© ImagoEntering their round of 16 clash against Cesena as clear favourites, Atalanta took control early, with Davide Zappacosta opening the scoring in the fourth minute, followed by a brace from Charles De Ketelaere around Lazar Samardzic‘s 27th-minute strike.
The rout continued in the second half, with Marco Brescianini adding the fifth, Samardzic grabbing his second, while Joseph Ceesay scored a late consolation as the Goddess cruised into the next phase of the competition.
This marks Atalanta’s fifth consecutive quarter-final appearance, having progressed in two of the previous four to reach the final, where they were defeated 2-1 by Juventus in 2020-21 and 1-0 last term.
Standing in the Nerazzurri’s way of matching last season’s feat is a Bologna side they have struggled against in recent times, failing to win any of the last four meetings – albeit all in the league – with three defeats and a draw.
Gian Piero Gasperini‘s men head into this clash off the back of a 1-1 stalemate against Torino in Serie A, a result that leaves them third in the standings, six points adrift of league leaders Napoli despite playing one more game.
© ImagoMeanwhile, Bologna could not have asked for better timing, as they will look to exploit La Dea’s vulnerabilities on the domestic front, with the hosts managing just one win in their last seven such encounters.
Rossoblu themselves have fared better recently in Italian competitions, winning two of their last three matches, including a 2-0 triumph over Como last time out, which lifted them to sixth in the Serie A standings.
That result also extended the Red and Blues’ unbeaten run across all competitions to seven games, comprising three wins and four draws.
Bologna will look to carry this momentum into Tuesday’s cup clash as they aim to reach the semi-finals for the first time since 1998-99, when they were eliminated by Fiorentina.
It is worth noting that Vincenzo Italiano‘s side have now reached the quarter-finals in back-to-back seasons after proving too strong for Monza, who crumbled under goals from Tommaso Pobega, Riccardo Orsolini, Benjamín Domínguez and Santiago Castro.

Bologna form (all competitions):
Team News
© ImagoAtalanta have three players on the treatment table, with Giorgio Scalvini (shoulder), Ademola Lookman (knee) and Odilon Kossounou (hamstring), all sidelined for Tuesday’s encounter.
Given the calibre of the opposition, Gasperini is expected to name a strong lineup, with the club’s top scorer this season, Mateo Retegui, set to lead the line.
Rui Patricio made only his second appearance for La Dea last time out, having also featured in the cup win against Cesena, and he could retain his spot between the sticks on Tuesday.
Bologna will be without Lewis Ferguson, who is ruled out with a hamstring injury, while Orsolini remains a doubt, having missed the last three games with the same issue.
Castro may get the nod ahead of Thijs Dallinga in the centre-forward role, with the former expected to return to the lineup after starting on the bench against Como.
Atalanta BC possible starting lineup:
Patricio; Kolasinac, Hien, Djimsiti; Bellanova, Ederson, De Roon, Ruggeri; De Ketelaere, Samardzic; ReteguiBologna possible starting lineup:
Ravaglia; Holm, Lucumi, Beukema, Lykogiannis; Freuler, Pobega; Ndoye, Odgaard, Dominguez; Castro
We say: Atalanta BC 2-1 Bologna
This encounter looks finely balanced and could even go beyond regulation time, given Atalanta’s struggles for wins and Bologna’s recent resilience.
However, the hosts may have the edge, backed by their pedigree in this competition and the advantage of playing at home.

Atalanta BC have been in impressive form recently, winning their last three league matches. With their potent attack led by the likes of Duvan Zapata and Luis Muriel, they will be looking to continue their winning streak against Bologna. However, Bologna have also been in good form and will pose a tough challenge for Atalanta. This match is likely to be a closely contested affair, with both teams capable of scoring goals. I predict a 2-1 win for Atalanta.Team News:
Atalanta will be without the services of midfielder Matteo Pessina, who is sidelined with an injury. However, they will have their key players available for selection, including captain Papu Gomez and goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini. Bologna, on the other hand, will be missing the likes of Gary Medel and Federico Santander due to injuries. However, they will have their top scorer Musa Barrow leading the attack.Possible Lineups:
Atalanta BC: Gollini; Toloi, Romero, Djimsiti; Hateboer, De Roon, Freuler, Gosens; Gomez, Zapata, Muriel.Bologna: Skorupski; Tomiyasu, Danilo, Denswil, Dijks; Poli, Schouten, Svanberg; Orsolini, Barrow, Sansone.

The Portland Trail Blazers are facing off against the Phoenix Suns once again following a 127-108 win on Saturday night. The Blazers are on a hot streak right now as winners of seven of their last eight games and are looking to defend home court once again.
On the other side, the Suns are also playing good basketball recently. Even with a blowout loss to Portland two nights ago, Phoenix are winners of nine of their last 13 contests and find themselves in the thick of the Western Conference playoff hunt.

The Blazers are getting hot right before the NBA Trade Deadline on Thursday, February 6, putting into question what the direction of the team is this season. If Portland stands pat at the deadline, it implies a push for a play-in spot might be what the team is looking at. However, many Blazers have popped up in trade rumors recently, also implying that the team might trade some of their veterans and fade back into the bottom of the standings.
The Suns, however, have no doubts about their position as buyers this deadline. They are firmly in a win-now mode and might be looking to add some extra talent around Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. There is a chance that this is one of the last games these teams play before major lineup changes around the deadline.
Reader Questions
From raoulduke:
Does Kevin Durant look old, like really old? He never really seemed like a threat on Saturday. Yes, he can still shoot but had a rough time getting to his spots and staying in control.
Kevin Durant is definitely not the scorer he once was now that he’s 36. However, he still shot a pretty efficient 50% from the floor on Saturday. He wasn’t able to take over the game like we know he can, and he only got to the free throw line three times leading to a 22-point performance. However, he also faced off against Deni Avdija and Toumani Camara all night. The pair are basically the perfect archetype to slow down a player in Durant’s mold. Two long and aggressive defenders that excel at disrupting opposing stars.
Whether Durant has an equally quiet game tonight remains to be seen, but Camara and Avdija will certainly try their best to make that happen.
From Devyn:
Assuming no trades happen at the deadline, do you see a path where Robert Williams replaces Donovan Clingan as DA’s primary backup big moving into the final 30 game stretch of the season? The organization has chosen not to do that so far this season but if the Blazers end up competing for a play-in spot that changes the calculus a little bit.
I doubt it. I could see the Blazers running more lineups that see two of Ayton, Clingan and Williams on the floor, but not Clingan mostly falling out of the lineup. Portland already is bringing three top-seven picks in the last three draft off the bench with their current lineup, and having a rookie who’s been very good in his minutes fall out of the lineup is not a business that a rebuilding team should be in.
From BlazerfromSNsince08:
One question ? Can we keep this balance and try to win as much as possible ? I dont care about the pick, regardless of the position, if we scout well, we can find a good player in the draft.
Winning early as a young team has proven to be a very good sign recently. The Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets and Orlando Magic have all proven to be ahead of schedule at some point in the last few seasons for example. However, the Blazers might not have a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Alperen Sengun or Paolo Banchero on their team right now. They might not even have a Jalen Williams or Franz Wagner. If that player can develop from within, then making a late season push could be great for Portland’s future. If not, then they might find themselves stuck in a no-man’s-land of being too good for a high draft pick, but not good enough to make any noise in the playoffs.
Being bad is the one true way to make sure you have a shot at a top talent. The higher in the draft a team picks, the higher the chance of that player being a difference maker historically. It all comes down to internal development. Maybe this answer looks dumb two years in the future as Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe lead Portland to a top-three seed, or maybe the Blazers find themselves as the ninth seed for the third straight year without a true all-star level talent.
From ClingFree:
Now that the Mavericks are giving away good players for pennies, which Mav should the Trailblazers sign up for?
Judging by the Luka package, Portland should be able to grab someone like Derrick Lively for a pair of second round picks and salary filler. Who knows, if the Blazers are willing to include Robert Williams it could land them Kyrie and a second rounder if you can sell Dallas on the defensive upgrade.
About the Opponent:
Bright Side of the Suns’ Matthew Lissy talked about Phoenix’s prospects with other Western Conference teams adding star talent after the Luka Doncic and De’Aaron Fox trades.
That’s now two star players on teams above and below the Suns in the standings as of Sunday night — the Lakers in the 5th seed and the Spurs in the 12th — with the Spurs having a legit chance of jumping the Suns in the standings.
Now, with the Mavericks adding Davis to their lineup — where he can finally play the power forward position he’s always preferred — next to Daniel Gafford, they’re still a scary team.
That is now three teams not including the Oklahoma City Thunder I would fear facing in the first round of the playoffs.
The Blazers and Suns are set to face off in the second round of the playoffs, and fans are buzzing with excitement. Both teams have had strong showings in the first round, with the Blazers taking down the Nuggets in a thrilling seven-game series and the Suns sweeping the Grizzlies.This matchup promises to be a battle of two high-powered offenses, as both teams have dynamic scorers in Damian Lillard and Devin Booker. The Blazers will look to rely on Lillard’s clutch shooting and leadership, while the Suns will lean on Booker’s scoring prowess and playmaking abilities.
Defensively, the Blazers will have their hands full trying to contain the Suns’ dynamic backcourt of Booker and Chris Paul. The Suns, on the other hand, will need to find a way to slow down Lillard and CJ McCollum, who have been on fire in the playoffs.
Both teams have depth and talent on their rosters, so this series is sure to be a competitive and exciting one. It’s anyone’s game at this point, but one thing is for sure – fans can expect a thrilling matchup between these two Western Conference powerhouses.
Who will come out on top in this highly anticipated second-round showdown? Tune in to find out.

Preview: Girona vs. Las Palmas – prediction, team news, lineups
Sports Mole previews Monday’s La Liga clash between Girona and Las Palmas, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
Girona will be aiming to bounce back from four straight defeats in all competitions when they continue their La Liga campaign with a clash against Las Palmas on Monday night.
The home side are eighth in the La Liga table, picking up 28 points from their opening 21 matches of the campaign, while Las Palmas sit 15th, just three points clear of the relegation zone.
Match preview
© ImagoGirona boast a record of eight wins, four draws and nine defeats from their 21 La Liga matches this season, with a total of 28 points leaving them in eighth spot in the table, eight points above the relegation zone and four points behind sixth-placed Rayo Vallecano.
It was always going to be difficult for the Catalan outfit to match their heroics from last season, when they finished third in La Liga, and their first-ever Champions League campaign finished on Wednesday with a 2-1 home defeat to Arsenal.
Girona’s journey in Europe for this season is over, but they will have taken plenty from their experience at that level, and Michel‘s team will now be aiming to bounce back from four straight straight defeats in all competitions.
The White and Reds have lost their last two in La Liga to Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano, with their last success in Spain’s top flight proving to be a 1-0 victory over Alaves on January 11.
Girona have a mixed record in front of their own fans this season, winning five, drawing one and losing four of their 10 matches on home soil, while Las Palmas have gathered 10 points from their 10 matches on their travels.
© ImagoLas Palmas, meanwhile, will enter the contest off the back of a 1-1 draw against Osasuna, with Adnan Januzaj scoring in the 98th minute of that contest to secure a share of the spoils for Los Amarillos.
Diego Martinez‘s side have a record of six wins, five draws and 10 defeats from their 21 league matches this season, with 23 points leaving them in 15th spot in the table, three points ahead of the relegation zone.
Las Palmas have been an entertaining watch this season, scoring 26 times, which is the most in the bottom seven, but they have conceded 34, which is the third-worst defensive record behind Valencia (36) and Real Valladolid (42).
Pio Pio finished 16th in Spain’s top flight last season after securing a return to La Liga, and any spot over 18th would again be considered a successful campaign, with the club again looking to solidify their position at this level.
Las Palmas recorded a 1-0 win over Girona in the reverse match between the two sides earlier this season, but Girona were victorious in both La Liga encounters during the 2023-24 campaign.

Team News
© ImagoGirona will be without the services of Miguel Gutierrez due to a muscular problem, while Daley Blind, Ladislav Krejci and Valery are major doubts for the contest on Monday night.
Arnaut Danjuma was on the scoresheet against Arsenal in the Champions League, and the Netherlands international could start through the middle here, with Bryan Gil operating down the left.
Yangel Herrera and Donny van de Beek should return to the side, while Paulo Gazzaniga will be back between the sticks.
As for Las Palmas, Benito Ramirez is available again following a suspension, but Dario Essugo will be missing due to the red card that he was handed in the clash with Osasuna last time out.
The visitors will also be without the services of Jose Campana, Viti, Marvin Park and Daley Sinkgraven due to injury, but there is a hope that Kirian Rodriguez will overcome a minor problem to make the XI.
Januzaj’s late goal against Osasuna could earn him a spot in the starting side for this match, while there will once again be a position through the middle for on-loan Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Fabio Silva.
Girona possible starting lineup:
Gazzaniga; A Martinez, Juanpe, D Lopez, Frances; Herrera, Martin; Asprilla, Van de Beek, Gil; DanjumaLas Palmas possible starting lineup:
Cillessen; Munoz, Suarez, McKenna, Marmol; Fuster, K Rodriguez; S Ramirez, Januzaj, Moleiro; F Silva
We say: Girona 2-1 Las Palmas
Girona have been victorious in four of the last five La Liga matches between the two sides and will enter this contest as the favourites, but we are expecting a close game – it would not be a surprise to see the points shared, but with home advantage, we are backing Girona to secure a narrow victory on Monday night.

Preview: Cagliari vs. Lazio – prediction, team news, lineups
After suffering back-to-back defeats, Lazio will target maximum points on Monday, when they visit Serie A strugglers Cagliari.
Beaten at home and in Europe, the Biancocelesti are now intent on regaining a top-four place, while their hosts are ultimately aiming to avoid relegation.
Following a run of five consecutive victories, Lazio have failed to win six of their last nine league matches, most recently losing at home to 10-man Fiorentina.
Despite having an extra player for most of the second half, Marco Baroni‘s men could not break through until a stoppage-time strike by Adam Marusic that proved too late to get them back into the contest.
Then, on Thursday night, the Biancocelesti wrapped up their league-phase campaign in the Europa League with a 1-0 defeat in Braga – albeit their knockout place had already been booked with two rounds remaining.
In spite of suffering their first continental loss of the season, Lazio still topped the table and swept straight through to the last 16 without needing a playoff.
With four weeks to go until a Coppa Italia quarter-final against Inter Milan, swiftly followed by their return to Europe, the Rome club can now concentrate fully on the league.
Unbeaten in 19 Serie A matches against Cagliari – winning 16 times and averaging 2.3 goals per game in the process – history will weigh heavily on their side in Sardinia.
In fact, Lazio could now set a new club record, having never posted a longer run without defeat against any opponent in their top-flight history – they also managed 19 against Inter, between 1996 and 2005.
© ImagoIn addition to a 2-1 loss in November’s reverse fixture at Stadio Olimpico, Cagliari have lost each of their last five home matches against Lazio by an aggregate score of 12-3.
Though the Isolani have accrued seven points from their last four matches, keeping them just above the drop zone, the odds are therefore stacked against claiming any more on Monday.
After last week’s 2-0 away defeat to Torino, Cagliari have lost nine games without scoring in Italy’s top tier this season, and no team has done so on more occasions.
With only two clean sheets kept so far, their defensive record is no better, and a weakness at set pieces will be of particular concern for coach Davide Nicola – a proven past master in terms of securing Serie A survival.
No side has conceded more goals from dead-ball situations (14), while Lazio have scored 13 – only fewer than Inter.
Furthermore, Cagliari have been beaten in five of 11 home games this season, which is already just one defeat fewer than through the whole of last season, when they only stayed up by a whisker.

Lazio form (all competitions):
Team News
© ImagoLazio made several changes in midweek, as Marco Baroni always rotates his squad for Europa League fixtures, and Serie A regulars Nicolo Rovella and Mattia Zaccagni were both suspended.
Furthermore, Matteo Guendouzi was replaced by Spanish centre-back Mario Gila in midfield, but the France international is expected to recover from an illness and should start in Sardinia.
Full-backs Nuno Tavares and Manuel Lazzari will again join Patric and Matias Vecino on the sidelines due to injury.
Meanwhile, Cagliari’s sole concern regards Zito Luvumbo, who has yet to return from an ankle problem that has ruled him out of six games so far.
Despite interest from other clubs, the Rossoblu have held on to Razvan Marin: he has been directly involved in five Serie A goals this season, four of which have come as a substitute.
Once again, the Romanian midfielder will fight it out with Alessandro Deiola, Michel Adopo and Antoine Makoumbou for selection in the hosts’ engine room.
Cagliari possible starting lineup:
Caprile; Zappa, Mina, Luperto, Obert; Zortea, Makoumbou, Marin, Felici; Gaetano; PiccoliLazio possible starting lineup:
Provedel; Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Pellegrini; Guendouzi, Rovella; Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni; Castellanos
We say: Cagliari 1-3 Lazio
Curiously, Lazio are the only side yet to draw away from home in Serie A – an unprecedented record for the capital club at this stage of a season.
That run should continue, as they will have the bit between their teeth after successive defeats, while Cagliari are often found wanting at both ends of the pitch.
For data analysis of the most likely results, scorelines and more for this match please click here.
Cagliari will face off against Lazio in an exciting Serie A clash this weekend. Both teams will be looking to secure a crucial victory in this match, as they aim to climb up the league table.Prediction:
Lazio are currently in good form and will be the favorites heading into this match. They have a strong attacking lineup and are capable of scoring goals against any opposition. Cagliari, on the other hand, have struggled defensively and may struggle to contain Lazio’s attacking threat. We predict a 2-1 win for Lazio in this match.Team news:
Cagliari will be without the services of their star striker, Joao Pedro, who is sidelined with an injury. However, they will have the rest of their squad available for selection.Lazio will be missing several key players due to injuries, including Ciro Immobile and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. Despite these absences, they still have a strong squad and will be confident of getting a positive result.
Lineups:
Cagliari: Cragno, Pisacane, Godin, Carboni, Zappa, Marin, Nandez, Rog, Nainggolan, Sottil, Pavoletti.Lazio: Reina, Marusic, Acerbi, Radu, Fares, Leiva, Parolo, Luis Alberto, Akpa Akpro, Correa, Muriqi.
It promises to be an exciting match between these two teams, so make sure to tune in and catch all the action. Stay tuned for our post-match analysis and highlights!
