The Three Lions must recover from a poor batting performance versus Sri Lanka but beat their next opponents nine times in 10 ODI meetings last year. More...

Ecuador and Japan both showed improved form in their second Copa America games but we favour the latter team when they meet in Belo Horizonte. The Samurai Blue deserve plenty of credit for a 2-2 draw against Uruguay, whereas Los Amarillos still looked a little lacklustre in going down 2-1 to Chile. More...

South Africa and Pakistan both look destined to make an early exit from the Cricket World Cup but preference is for the former when they clash at Lord's. They played well in defeat versus New Zealand last Wednesday and could well have won that contest if their usually reliable fielding had been on point. More...

Afghanistan have predictably struggled against the top teams at the Cricket World Cup and are unlikely to buck that trend when taking on India in Southampton. The Men in Blue have won all three of their completed matches in convincing fashion and look on course to cruise into the semi-finals. More...

Punters got their fingers burnt backing Brazil to beat Venezuela but those Copa America losses can be recovered when Peru take on the hosts.

After goalless draws with Peru and Brazil at the Copa America, we're hoping Venezuela open up more when facing Bolivia in their final Group A game. La Verde have conceded six times in losses to the same two opponents and should be there for the taking, as they must go for a win. More...

The Young Lions must try to recover from an opening 2-1 loss to France, but their next opponents were mightily impressive in beating Croatia 4-1. More...

Chile look highly motivated to claim a hat-trick of Copa America triumphs, whereas Ecuador do not tend to put as much emphasis on this tournament. That view was backed up by their opening exploits, with La Roja beating Japan 4-0 and Los Amarillos losing by the same scoreline against Uruguay. More...

Uruguay are hard to oppose when taking on Copa America guests Japan in Porto Alegre after these sides made contrasting starts to the tournament. La Celeste enjoyed a 4-0 triumph over Ecuador, while the Samurai Blue were beaten by the same scoreline when taking on Chile in their opener. More...

Bangladesh are battling bravely to stay in the Cricket World Cup but will find Australia a tough nut to crack at Trent Bridge on Thursday. The holders have prevailed in four of their five matches, only losing out to India, and appear to have found a nice rhythm in all aspects of the game. More...

Egypt are expected to ease past Zimbabwe on home turf in the opening group-stage match of the Africa Cup of Nations in Cairo. The Pharaohs have a formidable record when playing in front of their own supporters, securing 11 straight victories to stretch an unbeaten sequence in such fixtures to 16. More...

Stand-in hosts Egypt are assured of plenty of support in 2019 Africa Cup of Nations predictions, but we just prefer Senegal at slightly better odds. The Lions of Teranga do not have a great record at this tournament, but are fancied to put that right after a solid showing at last year's World Cup. More...

Argentina can ill-afford another slip-up when taking on Paraguay in their second Group B game at the Copa America in Belo Horizonte. La Albiceleste are bottom of the table after being beaten 2-0 by Colombia first up, while their opponents opened with a 2-2 draw versus Qatar. More...

Brazil took a while to get going before a trio of second-half goals helped them see off Bolivia and may again get stronger as the game goes on against Venezuela. La Vinotinto showed good resilience to grind out a goalless draw with Peru, even holding firm for the last 15 minutes with 10 men. More...

Peru will have been frustrated to kick off their Copa America campaign with a goalless draw against Venezuela but are worth sticking with to beat Bolivia. La Verde are coming off a 3-0 drubbing by Brazil and look by far the weakest link in Group A, with a lack of attacking firepower the main problem. More...

England have taken a very strong squad to the European Under-21 Championship and can kick off their Group C campaign by edging out France in Cesena. The Young Lions have gone 35 years since they last lifted this trophy but reached the semi-finals in 2017 and again appear to mean business. More...
