Mexico have kept four successive clean sheets heading into this clash, while they won to nil in all three knockout games on their way to lifting the Gold Cup in 2023. The US have struggled of late, suffering a four-game losing streak between March and the beginning of this tournament, while they’ve toiled against Haiti, Costa Rica and Guatemala to get here. Mexico won 2-0 when the pair met in November.

Montse Tome’s side look to have a much easier group that contains Italy, Portugal and Belgium, especially as they put 19 goals past the latter two in four Nations League meetings this season. Spain have demonstrated they know how to bottle a winning formula and they look strong candidates to add to their trophy collection.

Spain have demonstrated they know how to bottle a winning formula and they look strong candidates to add to their trophy collection.

Tadej Pogacar has been nigh on unbeatable since winning a third yellow jersey, claiming the world championship title and three Monuments, and he looks capable of landing this year’s Tour de France.

Lando Norris is yet to win around Silverstone, but the 25-year-old has outperformed team-mate Oscar Piastri in each of their two British Grands Prix at McLaren, finishing third here last year and second the year before, both times over 12 seconds ahead of the Australian.

Ryan Fox looks an excellent each-way bet at generous odds. Fox has claimed PGA Tour titles at the Myrtle Beach Classic and the Canadian Open since the start of May. He is a proven links specialist, winning the Dunhill Links in 2022 – where three of the four rounds are played on Open venues – and he was 16th at Portrush in 2019.

Oleksandr Usyk already has one KO win over Daniel Dubois on his CV and he can remove any controversy over that result with another stoppage in the rematch. The Ukrainian is too slick to get caught by Dubois and has the power and accuracy to win without needing the scorecards.

The Champions League winners have carried on from where they left off at the end of the season, with some impressive displays in America.They now face Bayern in Atlanta on Saturday (5pm BST) in what is likely to be physically draining conditions once again.Weather forecasts for Georgia suggest it will be a humid 33 degrees and that could also help a PSG team that are full of confidence at present.The average age of the PSG party is 24.8 years, compared to 27.7 years of the Bayern squad – who have kept just one clean sheet in the tournament and that was in the 10-0 win over Auckland FC.PSG will also have revenge on their minds, with Bayern beating them 1-0 in last season’s Champions League, when Ousmane Dembele was sent off in the second half.

France and England meet in a heavyweight Euro 2025 clash on Saturday and the Lionesses may have been overrated by the prices.Sarina Wiegman’s women are the defending European champions, but this is not the same squad which lifted the trophy in 2022.Ellen White and Jill Scott have retired, while Rachel Daly, Mary Earps, Fran Kirby and Millie Bright have quit international football.Alex Greenwood, Georgia Stanway and Lauren Hemp have only just returned from serious injuries and Lauren James is a major doubt for the Zurich clash.

Real Madrid have been making quiet but steady progress at the Club World Cup and they can ease through to the semi-finals by defeating Borussia Dortmund at MetLife Stadium.Xabi Alonso is off to a strong start at Real’s manager and has a nice selection headache to consider with Kylian Mbappe closing in on full fitness and fellow striker Gonzalo Garcia in goalscoring form.Real were dominant 1-0 winners over Juventus in the round of 16 and should have too much quality for Dortmund, who have been unconvincing despite a favourable run of fixtures.The Yellow-Blacks lost the shot count 14 to six while winning 2-1 against Monterrey, and their good fortune may be about to run out.

Inter Miami are back in MLS action overnight on Saturday after their Club World Cup bid was ended by PSG, and a trip to struggling Montreal provides a great chance for their star-studded line-up to make a winning return to their domestic competition.Montreal claimed a 1-0 win over New York City in their last home game but that was their first MLS victory of the season at Saputo Stadium at the ninth attempt, losing five of their previous eight games at this venue.Inter won the reverse fixture 4-2 and picked up back-to-back draws in road games at strong San Jose and Philadelphia sides prior to their break for CWC. If Inter Miami can pick up where they left off with that kind of level of performance against Montreal they should run out fairly comfortable winners in this MLS fixture.

Only the Allsvenskan’s top two have avoided defeat at Elfsborg this term, with the hosts picking up five victories at their own ground. The hosts have scored 18 times across their seven home matches, while they meet a midtable Hacken side on Sunday.Hacken have suffered three defeats on their travels already this term, while they’ve failed to beat any of the current top six. Fourth-placed Elfsborg should head into this contest full of confidence, so back them to see off one of the weakest travellers in Sweden’s top-flight.

Norway Women and Finland Women both made winning starts to their Euro 2025 campaigns but the Norwegians can take charge of Group A with victory over the Finns on Sunday.They had to come from behind to beat tournament hosts Switzerland 2-1 on matchday one, when star forward Ada Hegerberg scored a header and missed a penalty during an eventful second half.Norway have lost only three of their last 19 competitive matches and they should bring Finland back down to earth after Wednesday’s 1-0 win over Iceland, who had Hildur Antonsdottir sent off in the 58th minute.

Djurgarden are the best bet at home on Sunday against a struggling Degerfors side who have lost seven of their last eight. The hosts have a better league position and Degerfors have conceded first in each of their last four games — and lost all seven when conceding first this season.

Haka have lost six of 13 league games this term, including four defeats from seven at home. Inter Turku have put together a fine unbeaten run and they’ve won four of their last six trips.

Sport Boys have lost all of their clashes with the top eight so far, while they’ve got a middling home record this term. Cusco are sixth in the standings thanks to a good record on the road, winning four of eight trips.

Switzerland have gone seven games without a clean sheet and Iceland have conceded in six of their last seven. With both defences looking vulnerable, backing both teams to score appeals in this key Group A clash.

Universidad Catolica have scored 2.3 goals per game at home this season, with two-thirds of their home matches featuring at least three goals. Over 2.5 has landed in five of Colo-Colo’s previous six league games, so expect a high-scoring game.

Seattle have been strong at home all season in MLS with six wins and just one defeat in nine games. The Sounders can make home advantage count against Columbus Crew, who have just two points to show from their last four trips. However, Columbus are yet to draw a blank on their travels in MLS.

Jesus Ferreira had a goal and an assist in the win over Austin last time out and he can help fire Seattle to another victory on Sunday. The 24-year-old looks to be hitting a bit of form with two goals in his last three MLS games and he stands out as a potential anytime scorer.

The Spanish were relentless against Portugal in the first half, but they eased up after the break when they had secured a 4-0 lead. Back them to score another four goals here, while Belgium are tipped for a consolation strike.

Italy have kept three clean sheets in four, while Portugal have gone four games without a goal. Given that Portugal have conceded an average of five goals per game across their last five defeats, a 4-0 win for Italy stands out.

PSG have won nine of their last ten competitive games and were the better side against Bayern Munich. They have scored at least twice in each of these nine wins, and they could get the better of a Real Madrid side that have only won one of their last four meetings with Les Parisiens.

Partizan Belgrade have not won an away game in Europe since the 2022/23 Europa Conference League play-offs, and another defeat is on the cards when they visit Larnaca on Thursday.The Serbian side have lost seven of their last eight games in Europe, shipping 20 goals in that period and scoring just four in return. AEK won both their home qualifiers in last season’s UEFA Conference League and can make it three in a row here.

Cork City are rock bottom of the Irish Premier Division and their dismal away record looks set to continue in Waterford.They have picked up just two points from 11 league away games this season and head to the Regional Sports Centre having lost their last five trips away. Waterford have taken 11 points from the last 18 available at home and look good value to move further clear of the relegation zone.

Sandefjord are a point ahead of Bodo/Glimt in the Norwegian Eliteserien, but Saturday’s hosts have started to find their feet recently and should coast to victory on home soil.They have won two of their four home league games this season and four of their last five home meetings with Sandefjord, who head to Aspmyra Stadion having lost their last four competitive away games.

Stromsgodset have amassed just six points from a possible 36 in the Norwegian Eliteserien this season, and they may sink further from safety at third-placed Tromso on Sunday.Sunday’s hosts have lost all six home league games this season by an aggregate scoreline of 13-3, and Tromso head into this tie having won each of their last seven in all competitions. They haven’t lost an away game since their first trip of the season, and their winning run should continue in Drammen.

Liverpool won by at least two goals in nine of their 14 home victories last season, while they comfortably saw off Bournemouth home and away. The Cherries lost 3-0 at Anfield and 2-0 at home to the Reds, despite enjoying a successful campaign.Bournemouth have already sold Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid, while Liverpool are pursuing their left-back Milos Kerkez. The Reds will have plenty of time to bed in their new signings, while Andoni Iraola’s side will likely start this campaign weakened at the back. Back the champions to lay down a marker in their opener.

Despite little expectation, there was plenty of promise in Fabian Hurzeler’s first season at the Amex and it would be no surprise to see a young Brighton side take another forward step next term.The Seagulls saw out the campaign by drawing with Newcastle and beating West Ham, Wolves, Liverpool and Tottenham in their final five matches and they have already added Sunderland’s playoff hero Tommy Watson and Italy Under-21 centre-back Diego Coppola to a strong squad.Fulham, meanwhile, lost five of their last seven matches of the season, only beating Southampton and Brentford, and are yet to bring in any new faces, suggesting an opening-day defeat may be on the cards for the Cottagers.

Brentford have a busy summer ahead as they plan for a future after Thomas Frank but they should be ready for the opening weekend of the season and can start with a win against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.The Bees might be without Bryan Mbeumo, who has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, but they are usually a step ahead when it comes to player recruitment and are likely to assemble a strong squad over the next few weeks.Forest will be in for a tough game and they might struggle to shrug off the disappointment of missing out on Champions League qualification.The Tricky Trees have taken one point from their last four home games and they could be stung by the Bees.

Only champions Liverpool are a shorter price than Tottenham to win their opening Premier League fixture and I think I would look to oppose Spurs.Of course, a home tie against Burnley appears a fairly kind fixture, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Clarets, who conceded only 16 goals in 46 Championship matches last term, were difficult to break down.The decision to replace Ange Postecoglou with Thomas Frank wasn’t met with unanimous euphoria in north London and it could take a while for Spurs to find their stride.

Pep Guardiola must adapt his usual pre-season plans due to Manchester City’s involvement in the Club World Cup and the Citizens could drop points in a tricky opening assignment at Wolves.City made hard work of May’s 1-0 home victory over Wolves, who hit the woodwork twice at the Etihad Stadium, and they needed a 95th-minute John Stones winner at Molineux in October.Wolves sold forward Matheus Cunha to Manchester United and left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri to City but their recruitment has been good in recent years and they won ten of their 22 league matches after Vitor Pereira’s arrival in December.

Leeds were the highest-scoring side in last season’s Championship, but they may find the going tougher in the top flight, and they could kick off their season with a low-scoring affair at Elland Road.Ten of Everton’s final 12 games of 2024/25 featured fewer than three goals, and their away games throughout last season averaged a Premier League low of 1.95 goals per game. A mere 26 per cent of them went over 2.5 goals, and no team outside the top four conceded fewer goals than the Toffees.
