Jadwal Siaran Bola Getafe vs Real Madrid
Jadwal Siaran Bola Getafe vs Real Madrid - Prediksi Getafe vs Real Madrid | Tips Liga Inggris | Agenjudionline. Hanya berhasil bermain seri dengan angka 1-1 dengan Valencia di partai perdana Primera Liga plus kalah 2-3 dari Barcelona pada leg pertama Supercopa de Espana, Real Madrid akan mencari pelampiasan.
Senin (27/8) dini hari nanti di Coliseum Alfonso Perez, skuad asuhan Entrenador Jose Mourinho itu bakal fokus meladeni Getafe. Los Blancos wajib mengalahkan Los Azulones demi menjaga reputasi sebagai klub raksasa Spanyol pemegang trofi juara Primera Liga.
Jika hasil imbang (apalagi kekalahan) kembali terulanh melawan klub kecil dari Madrid Selatan itu, tekanan akan mengarah kepada Gonzalo Higuain dan kawan-kawan. Sebelum laga, Mourinho mengatakan Madrid sedang dalam kondisi terbaik. Para pemain juga dinilai siap tempur menghadapi Getafe.
Hasil imbang atas Kelelawar Mestalla maupun kekalahan dari Blaugrana tidak dianggap sebagai hal yang perlu dicemaskan. Bahkan, mantan Mourinho berani menjanjikan kemenangan akan dipetik atas Getafe.
Madrid jelas lebih diunggulkan. Selain materi, modal Madrid tentu saja sejarah. Klub berkostum putih tersebut boleh berbangga hati jika berhadapan dengan rival-rival dari seputaran kota Madrid (Atletico Madrid, Rayo Vallecano dan Getafe). Sejak jornada 26 Primera Liga 2008/2009, Madrid berhasil meraih 15 kemenangan berturut-turut atas Atletico, Rayo maupun Getafe. Karena itu, kepercayaan diri para pemain sangat besar saat dini hari nanti menghadapi Getafe.
Selain itu, Madrid juga mendapat kabar menggembirakan mengenai kondisi kepulihan Pepe. Pemain timnas Portugal naturalisasi Brasil tersebut telah kembali menjalani sesi latihan. Sebelumnya, Idrpoker.com Agen Texas Poker Online Indonesia Terpercaya pemain bernomor punggung 3 itu mengalami cedera kepala setelah bertabrakan dengan Iker Casillas saat Madrid berhadapan dengan Valencia. Akibatnya, Pepe tidak tampil saat bertandang ke Camp Nou.
Sementara itu, tuan rumah Getafe berharap mampu menahan laju serangan Cristiano Ronaldo dan kawan-kawan sekaligus menunda kemenangan pertama Madrid di Primera Liga musim ini. Apalagi musim kemarin, skuad asuhan Luis Garcia Plaza tersebut mampu menaklukkan tim-tim kuat seperti Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla dan Atletico ketika bermain di Coliseum.
Demikian juga kondisi Getafe sangat baik. Tim berkostum biru tua tersebut sedang terbebas dari masalah cedera pemain. Mereka juga butuh kemenangan setelah pekan lalu dikalahkan Sevilla 1-2. Tiga poin akan membuat Getafe kembali memiliki kepercayaan diri menatap kompetisi musim baru.

Jelang Pertandingan Manchester City vs Barcelona 19 Feb 2014
Jelang Pertandingan Manchester City vs Barcelona 19 Feb 2014 - Prediksi Man City vs Barca - Bursa Taruhan Manchester City vs Barcelona - Liga Chmpion Manchester City vs Barcelona - Manchester City tengah diliputi kepercayaan diri, menyusul kembalinya gelandang asal Prancis, Samir Nasri, selepas mengalami cedera. Pulihnya Nasri membuat City yakin mampu mengalahkan Barcelona saat kedua tim terlibat bentrok di leg pertama 16 besar Liga Champions di Etihad Stadium, Rabu (19/2/2014) dini hari WIB.
Agen Bola Promo 100% SBOBET IBCBET Casino Poker Tangkas Online - Nasri berada dalam performa terbaiknya sebelum mendapatkan cedera ligamen lutut akibat dilanggar pemain Newcastle United, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, Januari lalu. Namun, kini cedera itu sudah sembuh dan Nasri pun siap kembali merumput. Nasri sebenarnya mendesak untuk dimainkan City saat menghadapi laga putaran lima Piala FA kontra Chelsea di Etihad Stadium, Minggu (16/2/2014) dini hari WIB. Namun, Nasri masih diragukan tampil melawan Chelsea, karena masih harus menjalani pemeriksaan medis. Nasri baru bisa dipastikan tampil saat City menghadapi raksasa Katalan, medio tengah pekan nanti.
Pellegrini, arsitek Manchester City tentu mengenal Barcelona, yang akrab disebut Barca dengan baik. Tak heran, mengingat kesuksesannya bersama Villareal dalam medio 2004-2009, berhasil merepotkan Barcelona yang dihuni Ronaldinho dkk dengan statistik 4 kemenangan, 3 imbang dan 7 kali kalah. Statistik yang cukup bagus mengingat kedalam skuad Villareal tentu tak seglamour yang dimiliki oleh Barcelona. Di tahun 2011 dan 2012 saat menukangi Malaga, Pellegrini kembali bertemu dengan Barcelona. Sayangnya, Pellegrini gagal meraih satupun kemenangan untuk Malaga, kendati Malaga bermain luar biasa dan konsisten di Liga.
Bermodalkan skuad super mewah milik Manchester City, seharusnya misi revenge Pellegrini terhadap Barca akan semakin mudah. Statistik hingga hari ini juga cukup mengejutkan. City selalu berhasil menyarangkan setidaknya tiga gol ke gawang lawan-lawannya bila bermain di Etihad Stadium. Hal ini tentunya melengkapi rekor kemenangan 100% milik City bila bermain di kandang sendiri di ajang EPL. Kekalahan dari Bayern di kandang sendiri saat melakoni matchday pertama UCL musim ini bisa ditoleransi mengingat belum padunya para pemain anyar The Citizen. Toh, pada akhirnya, bermodalkan skuad “lapis dua” saat melakoni partai terakhir menghadapi Bayern, City berhasil memenangkan pertandingan di depan publik The Bavarian, julukan Bayern. Seolah ingin memberi bukti kehadiran mereka bukan sekedar penggembira di UCL, City siap memberikan kejutan kepada Barcelona, tim yang menjadi salah satu kandidat kuat peraih trophy UCL musim ini.

| Arctic biodiversity under serious threat from climate change Posted: 14 Feb 2014 04:55 AM PST Climate change caused by human activities is by far the worst threat to biodiversity in the Arctic. Some of these changes are already visible. Unique and irreplaceable Arctic wildlife and landscapes are crucially at risk due to global warming caused by human activities according to a new report prepared by 253 scientists from 15 countries. |
| Superconductivity in orbit: Scientists find new path to loss-free electricity Posted: 13 Feb 2014 11:23 AM PST Researchers have combined atoms with multiple orbitals and precisely pinned down their electron distributions. Using advanced electron diffraction techniques, the scientists discovered that orbital fluctuations in iron-based compounds induce strongly coupled polarizations that can enhance electron pairing -- the essential mechanism behind superconductivity. |
| Embryology: Scientists crack open 'black box' of development and see a 'rosette' Posted: 13 Feb 2014 11:23 AM PST We know much about how embryos develop, but one key stage -- implantation -- has remained a mystery. Now, scientists have discovered a way to study and film this 'black box' of development. This new method revealed that on its way from ball to cup, the blastocyst becomes a 'rosette' of wedge-shaped cells, a structure never before seen by scientists. |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2014 11:23 AM PST When individuals from different groups interbreed, their offspring's DNA becomes a mixture of the DNA from each admixing group. Pieces of this DNA are then passed along through subsequent generations, carrying on all the way to the present day. Researchers have now produced a global map detailing the genetic histories of 95 different populations across the world, spanning the last four millennia. |
| Crazy ants dominate fire ants by neutralizing their venom Posted: 13 Feb 2014 11:22 AM PST Invasive "crazy ants" are rapidly displacing fire ants in areas across the southeastern US by secreting a compound that neutralizes fire ant venom, according to a new study. It's the first known example of an insect with the ability to detoxify another insect's venom. |
| Cosmic roadmap to galactic magnetic field revealed Posted: 13 Feb 2014 11:22 AM PST Scientists report that recent, independent measurements have validated one of the IBEX mission's signature findings -- a mysterious "ribbon" of energy and particles at the edge of our solar system that appears to be a directional "roadmap in the sky" of the local interstellar magnetic field. |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2014 11:22 AM PST Graphene has proven itself as a wonder material with a vast range of unique properties. Among the least-known marvels of graphene is its strange love affair with water. Graphene is hydrophobic -- it repels water -- but narrow capillaries made from graphene vigorously suck in water allowing its rapid permeation, if the water layer is only one atom thick -- that is, as thin as graphene itself. This bizarre property has attracted intense academic and industrial interest with intent to develop new water filtration and desalination technologies. |
| America's natural gas system is leaking methane and in need of a fix Posted: 13 Feb 2014 11:22 AM PST The US natural gas system is letting more methane, a potent greenhouse gas, escape into the air than previously thought, a new study confirms. |
| Mechanism of crude oil heart toxicity on fish revealed from oil spill research Posted: 13 Feb 2014 11:22 AM PST While studying the impact of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill on tuna, a research team discovered that crude oil interrupts a molecular pathway that allows fish heart cells to beat effectively. The components of the pathway are present in the hearts of most animals, including humans. |
| Robotic construction crew needs no foreman Posted: 13 Feb 2014 11:21 AM PST On the plains of Namibia, millions of tiny termites are building a mound of soil—an 8-foot-tall "lung" for their underground nest. During a year of construction, many termites will live and die, wind and rain will erode the structure, and yet the colony's life-sustaining project will continue. Inspired by the termites' resilience and collective intelligence, a team of computer scientists and engineers has created an autonomous robotic construction crew. The system needs no supervisor, no eye in the sky, and no communication: just simple robots—any number of robots—that cooperate by modifying their environment. |
| Understanding basic biology of bipolar disorder Posted: 13 Feb 2014 06:50 AM PST Instead of only using a standard clinical interview to determine whether individuals met the criteria for a clinical diagnosis of bipolar disorder, researchers combined the results from brain imaging, cognitive testing, and an array of temperament and behavior measures. Using the new method, they and their collaborators have identified about 50 brain and behavioral measures that are both under strong genetic control and associated with bipolar disorder. Their discoveries could be a major step toward identifying the specific genes that contribute to the illness. |

| Energy harvesting takes wing in merger of engineering and biology Posted: 13 Feb 2014 11:21 AM PST A bird flapping its wings or a fish's deep dive may be pictures of nature in action, but in their elegant simplicity scientists see the complex challenges of merging technology with a biological system. The motion of animals could power small devices that allow biologists to collect information about behavior that eludes them under the limitations of current technology. |
| NASA moves longest-serving Mars spacecraft for new observations Posted: 13 Feb 2014 09:55 AM PST NASA's Mars Odyssey spacecraft has tweaked its orbit to help scientists make the first systematic observations of how morning fogs, clouds and surface frost develop in different seasons on the Red Planet. |
| Light-induced degradation in amorphous silicon thin film solar cells Posted: 13 Feb 2014 09:24 AM PST Researchers have taken a leap forward towards a deeper understanding of an undesired effect in thin film solar cells based on amorphous silicon -- one that has puzzled the scientific community for the last 40 years. The researchers were able to demonstrate that tiny voids within the silicon network are partly responsible for reducing solar cell efficiency by some 10 to 15 percent as soon as you start using them. |
| Experiments on tiny gold prisms help to explain unusual electrodynamics of nanostructures Posted: 13 Feb 2014 09:16 AM PST Nanoplasmonics -- the study of light manipulation on the nanometer scale -- has contributed to the production of novel devices for chemical and biological sensing, signal processing and solar energy. However, components at such small scales experience strange effects that classical electrodynamics cannot explain. A particular challenge for theorists lies in isolating so-called 'nonlocal' effects, whereby the optical properties of a particle are not constant but depend on nearby electromagnetic fields. |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2014 09:16 AM PST The disk drive in a computer works by using a magnetic field to change the physical properties of a tiny volume of a magnetically susceptible material. Current research aims to develop novel materials and technologies that can maximize storage capacity by focusing data into the smallest possible volume. |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2014 09:16 AM PST Upconversion nanoparticles -- new types of luminescent nanomaterials that release high-energy photons after laser light stimulation -- can penetrate deeper into tissue and are more photochemically stable than conventional bioimaging agents, such as quantum dots and organic dyes. Luminescent nanocrystals doped or impregnated with small amounts of rare-earth ytterbium (Yb) ions are particularly effective at photon upconversion. The specific lasers used to excite Yb dopants, however, can also heat water molecules in biological samples causing cell death or tissue damage. |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2014 09:16 AM PST Scientists hope that patterning magnetic materials with nanometer-scale structures will help the development of non-volatile electronic memories with large storage capacities and no moving parts. So-called magnetoresistive random access memories are one example. But material properties at such tiny dimensions are not always the same as those of larger structures. |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2014 08:27 AM PST Chemists have been using a powerful scientific method to investigate masterpieces by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Winslow Homer and Mary Cassatt. They recently identified the chemical components of paint, now partially faded, used by Renoir in his painting "Madame Léon Clapisson." The artist used carmine lake, a brilliant but light-sensitive red pigment. |
| Two Parents with Alzheimer's Disease? Disease May Show up Decades Early on Brain Scans Posted: 12 Feb 2014 01:43 PM PST People who are dementia-free but have two parents with Alzheimer's disease may show signs of the disease on brain scans decades before symptoms appear, according to a new study. |
| Surgical implants: Implant stiffness is a major cause of foreign body reaction Posted: 12 Feb 2014 10:28 AM PST Surgical implants are widely used in modern medicine but their effectiveness is often compromised by how our bodies react to them. Now, scientists have discovered that implant stiffness is a major cause of this so-called foreign body reaction. |
| Capillaries will measure diffusion, help in more efficient medical treatment Posted: 12 Feb 2014 06:33 AM PST How strongly do two dissolved analytes react with each other? Such information is of paramount importance not only in chemistry and molecular biology, but also in medicine or pharmacy, where it is used, such as in the determination of optimal drug doses. A new method will allow for determining diffusion coefficients of analytes in fluids and equilibrium constants of reactions – quickly, at low cost, and most importantly: universally. |
| Robot may accelerate trials for stroke medications Posted: 11 Feb 2014 08:38 AM PST A new study's authors found that by using a robot's measurements to gauge patient performance, companies might only have to test 240 patients to determine whether a drug works -- a reduction of 70 percent that would translate to a similar reduction in time and cost. |
| Pancreatic cancers now being treated with less invasive robotic surgical system Posted: 11 Feb 2014 06:39 AM PST The Whipple procedure, used to remove tumors from pancreatic cancer patients, is one of surgery's most extensive and challenging operations. Now, surgeons are using a minimally invasive robotic surgical system to perform the surgery. |
