With the midweek schedule opening up on Tuesday, we have another stacked day from across Europe on the cards. So, with the likes of the FA Cup returning to action this week, we have found you a handful of helpful tips that are worth keeping an eye out for throughout Tuesday.
Tuesday 9th February
BST 15:00 Ferreira vs Portimonense
For our opening Tip of the Day, we turn our attention to Portugal and a Ferreira side who should find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high after a stunning start to the 2020/2021 campaign. While the Beavers might have found themselves largely scrapping it out in the bottom-half of the table last season, the Yellows have certainly gained a string of plaudits so far this year. Already mustering themselves 34 points and just their go…
Malcom’s stunning solo goal finished Al-Hilal’s second-half comeback to earn a 2-1 win over Al-Ahli in the Saudi Pro League on Monday.
The forward started his run from inside his own half before slotting in the winner, after teeing up Aleksandr Mitrovic for the equaliser just after the interval.
Feras Al Brikan had given Al Ahli the lead in the 30th minute, but the hosts could not hold onto it against the league leaders.
Al-Hilal extended their unbeaten league campaign to a 30th match, moving 12 points clear at the top of the table, while Al-Ahli remain in third, now 22 points off the AFC Champions League spot.
The 86th point from the “Bride of the Red Sea”

Looking to make it back-to-back Premier League victories on Saturday lunchtime, Tottenham will travel to the Vitality when they meet Bournemouth.
Bournemouth
Starting with the hosts, eventually suffering a collapse away at Anfield last weekend as they suffered a 3-1 loss at the hands of Liverpool, Bournemouth are still seeking some stability since opening the 2023/24 campaign. Getting the new season underway on August 12th as they snatched a late 1-1 stalemate at home against West Ham, Andoni Iraola’s men will know that they face a stern challenge here. Doing an eye-catching job of dragging themselves away from a looming relegation scrap last season, the Cherries will also know the importance of finding some success at the Vitality…
Paris Saint-Germain have written to British rap artist M.I.A. after she wore and doctored one of their shirts for a music video depicting the refugee crisis.
In her video for the single Borders, the rapper, real name Mathangi Arulpragasam, depicts refugees on their journey across Europe.
The 40-year-old is seen wearing a white PSG shirt that has the logo of the club s Dubai-based airline sponsor doctored to read Fly Pirates rather than Fly Emirates .
PSG owned by the Qatar Investment Authority since 2011 wrote to the artist and referenced a €1 million donation to charity Secours populaire and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) as part of the relief effort.
The letter read: We had the unpleasant surprise to find that the singer, in this video clip, appears tw…
The owners of Crystal Palace are hoping to seal a deal with US investors to help improve the financial future of the Premier League outfit.
Co-chairman Steve Parish has revealed the club are in negotiations with David Blitzer and Josh Harris co-owners of the NHL s New Jersey Devils and the NBA s Philadelphia 76ers to take an equal 18 per cent overall share of the south London club.
The three other Palace co-owners Martin Long, Jeremy Hoskings and Stephen Browett will all see their club shares reduce to 15.33 per cent.
Parish, who believes the investment will make Palace as strong as it has been for 100 years , will remain in control of the day-to-day running of the club and said improvements to Selhurst Park will be a priority.

Bundesliga outfit Hannover have announced the signing of Austrian defender Kevin Wimmer from Stoke City via their official website.
The centre-back joins on a season-long loan, hoping to get his career back on track after a disappointing spell in England.
Having impressed at FC Koln, Wimmer first joined Tottenham Hotspur in 2015 before signing for Stoke City two years later, but he has so far failed to prove his worth in English Premier League.
The 25-year-old now gets a chance to kick-start his career in German Bundesliga, where he already made 32 appearances with FC Koln.
Chances are Hannover will purchase the contract if they are happy with what Wimmer shows during his loan spell, meaning the Austrian will not be lacking motivation to impress at HDI A…
Marquinhos has signed a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain, committing his future to the Ligue 1 club to 2022.
The Brazilian defender had been linked with Manchester United, Barcelona and Serie A champions Juventus, but has instead agreed a new long-term deal with Unai Emery s men.
Reports suggested Jose Mourinho was willing to spend £60million to bring Marquinhos to Old Trafford, but his future lies in Paris after penning fresh terms.
Marquinhos started 27 Ligue 1 matches for PSG last season as the club s four-year dominance of Ligue 1 was ended in stunning fashion by Leonardo Jardim s free-scoring Monaco.

Serie A giants AC Milan are going forward in attempt to land the Croatian midfielder Alen Halilovic who is already in Italy.
The 22-year-old Hamburg starlet is said to have secretly arrived in Italy on Thursday morning to undergo medical checks and sign a deal with Rossoneri.
Sky Italia claim Halilovic has been presented with a three-year contract offer.
Once one of the highly talented attacking midfielders, Alen Halilovic has yet to live up to expectations. Former Dinamo Zagreb prodigee moved to Barcelona in 2015 but never got a chance to play for the first team at Camp Nou.
Three years after his highly touted Barcelona transfer, Alen Halilovic will be looking to relaunch his career in Italy, at a club struggling with financial insecurity.

Donny van de Beek was handed only his third start for Manchester United this season in Tuesday s clash with Villarreal as Michael Carrick took charge for the first time.
United were in action for the first time since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer s dismissal on Sunday, and Carrick – named caretaker manager ahead of an expected interim appointment – made his presence known.
Van de Beek came straight into the starting XI after a positive cameo off the bench in Solskjaer s final game, the 4-1 defeat at Watford.
The Dutchman scored United s only goal in that game, which was just his third top-flight appearance of the season.
