France are worth backing against Italy given the gulf between the two sides, but the Italians have some big wins behind them of late and they can trouble the French early on. The value here lies with backing the Italians to keep it close in the first-half, so back France to win by between 1 and 8 points.

LeBron James is 63 points shy of claiming the NBA’s scoring record and we’re backing him to seal it within his next two games. The 38-year-old will have to go slightly above his average of 30.1 points per game to achieve it, but his next two are against a Pelicans side on a 10-game losing streak and an Oklahoma City Thunder team who recently gave up 38 points to Steph Curry. OKC face the Lakers on the second-night of a back-to-back and their tired legs could hand LeBron the record.

The Eagles are favourites to win a second Super Bowl in five years with quarter-back Jalen Hurts hoping to finish off a stellar season. While this is a clash between two great QBs, the Eagles defence should slow down Patrick Mahomes and edge this one.

Newcastle have suffered only one Premier League defeat all season and even that defeat was an unfortunate one off the back of a good display. The Magpies are an incredibly hard side to beat and boast a brilliant defensive record, while United have already suffered some defeats in big games this term.

This is a make-or-break night in the career of Tommy Fury and it’s by far his most high-profile bout to date. However, opponent Jake Paul has yet to meet a professional boxer in the ring and with the pressure on Fury he should do what it takes to edge this one.
