Market: Edgeworth Eagles win
Odds: 2/5 @
Two sides firmly battling it out at opposite ends of the table, Edgeworth will welcome Adamstown to the Jack McLaughian Oval on Wednesday morning.
Starting with the hosts, while Edgeworth might have eventually fallen short last season as they missed out on the chance to claim a play-off ticket, the Eagles have come roaring back in a sensational fashion this time around. Last seen over the weekend putting in another rampant performance as they stormed their way to a 4-0 victory against Newcastle Olympic, Peter McGuinness’ men are in the midst of a remarkable purple patch. Although they might have opened up the 2024 campaign with a real stutter, Edgeworth have now won all of their previous six consecutive appearances and …
Diego Simeone compared Luis Suarez to Atletico Madrid legend Fernando Torres as he backed the striker to keep performing when called on.
Suarez has been linked with a move away from Atletico at the end of the season, when his contract expires.
British press reports have suggested he could join up with former Liverpool team-mate Steven Gerrard, now manager of Aston Villa, while Spanish sports daily Marca on Saturday pointed to interest from the likes of Ajax, Inter and Sevilla.
Suarez s goals were crucial to Atletico winning LaLiga last season, following his shock move from Barcelona, but his output has decreased in 2021-22, with the Uruguayan scoring 11 goals in 34 appearances across all competitions.
Only 23 of those appearances have been as a starter, w…
Market: Serhou Guirassy to score anytime
Odds: 19/20 @
Smelling the chance to lay down another Bundesliga marker on Friday night, Stuttgart will welcome Darmstadt to the MHPArena.
Starting with the hosts, while Stuttgart might have found themselves at the heart of a major relegation scrap last season, Die Roten have come roaring back in some style since opening the 2023/24 campaign. Marking their return from September’s international break away at Mainz last weekend as they landed a 3-1 victory away at Mainz, it appears that the mood in Sebastian Hoeneb’s camp is at a red-hot high. Heading into the fortnight interval earlier in the month with another stellar performance as they claimed a 5-0 romp against Freiburg, the former Hoffenheim boss has seen his side…
Angel Romero scored twice as Paraguay produced a second-half comeback to claim a 3-1 win over a depleted 10-man Bolivia in their opening game at the Copa America.
La Albirroja were favoured to see off Bolivia, who were without three players – including captain and talisman Marcelo Martins after testing positive for coronavirus.
Bolivia, who have only progressed beyond the Copa America group stage once since finishing runners-up in 1997, took a shock early lead from Erwin Saavedra s 10th-minute penalty on Monday.
Paraguay piled on the pressure for no reward in the first half, before Bolivia were reduced to 10 men on the stroke of half-time following Jaume Cuellar s second booking in Goiania, Goias.
The weight of pressure told in the second half as Alejan…
I also thank all my team-mates, my two coaches, technical committee and all these amazing people employed by the club with whom I had the pleasure of sharing my days at the training centre and at Parc des Princes.
David Luiz helped PSG to a Ligue 1, Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue treble in both of his two seasons at the club and he was named in the FIFA World Team of the Year at the 2014 Ballon d Or awards.
The 29-year-old Brazil international scored eight goals in 89 games in all competitions for PSG, but will now seek to add to the 142 appearances he made in a Chelsea shirt between 2010 and 2014.
His message continued: To you the fans a very big, BIG THANK YOU! After two seasons at PSG, we had the opportunity to share unforgettable moments! Together w…
Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert feels striker Grant Holt has nothing to prove against their former club Norwich City on Sunday.
Lambert and Holt combined to form a major part of Norwich s success between 2009 and 2011, which saw the club earn consecutive promotions from League One to the Premier League.
Experienced forward Holt scored 68 goals in 154 league appearances for Norwich before joining Wigan Athletic in July 2013, a year after Lambert left Carrow Road for Villa Park in acrimonious circumstances.
The pair were reunited in January when Lambert signed Holt on loan until the end of the season, with the 32-year-old set to play against Norwich for the first time since his departure in a key Premier League fixture this weekend.
And Lambert has backed the form…
Real Madrid have officially confirmed they will partake in FIFA s expanded Club World Cup after Carlo Ancelotti s comments about the competition were misinterpreted.
A statement was released by the recently crowned Champions League winners on Monday after Ancelotti told Italian daily Il Giornale he felt that FIFA had undervalued the compensation Los Blancos should receive for playing in next year s revamped 32-team tournament.
FIFA can forget it, footballers and clubs will not participate in that tournament, Ancelotti was quoted as saying.
However, the Italian distanced himself from those comments in a social media post on Monday.
Nothing could be further from my interest than to reject the possibility of playing in a tournament that I consider to be a…
Per Mertesacker is eager to sign a new deal with Arsenal amid suggestions he could return to the Bundesliga at the end of the season.
The 32-year-old s contract is due to expire in June 2017 and his former clubs Werder Bremen and Hannover are keeping a close eye on his situation.
But Mertesacker is set to disappoint his suitors as he wants to stay at Emirates Stadium.
A renewal with Arsenal is my absolute priority, the German told Spox.
But we have not made an appointment yet to discuss a new deal.
Arsenal are my top priority and everything else is just speculation.
Mertesacker, who arrived at the club in 2011, has nothing but praise for French boss Arsene Wenger.
Wenger should be immune to any public criticism. He has be…
Guingamp shrugged off their Ligue 1 struggles to win the Coupe de France with a 2-0 victory over Brittany rivals Rennes in Saturday s final.
Jocelyn Gourvennec s men are four points clear of the drop zone in the French top flight with three games remaining, but gave their fans a welcome break from relegation concerns by claiming a straightforward triumph in a repeat of the 2009 showpiece.
Guingamp were victorious in that clash five years ago and repeated the feat as Rennes who are not yet safe from the drop themselves missed the chance to end a 43-year wait for a major trophy.
Full-back Jonathan Martins Pereira emphatically put Guingamp ahead late in the first half at the Stade de France and Mustapha Yatabare added a second a minute after the interval, his third goal a…
