Rangers will fancy their chances of reaching the Europa League group stage at the expense of Ufa, starting with a first-leg triumph in Glasgow. Steven Gerrard has yet to taste defeat in nine matches since taking charge at Ibrox and his side seems to have settled into a nice rhythm under the rookie manager. More...

Celtic will be happy with their Europa League play-offs draw and past history suggests they should cruise through to the group stage by brushing aside Suduva. The Hoops prevailed 10-1 on aggregate when these teams met in the 2002-03 UEFA Cup, with Henrik Larsson hitting a hat-trick in an 8-1 home victory. More...

Burnley have battled hard to get through two Europa League qualifying rounds but face a formidable challenge now taking on Olympiacos. The Greek giants reached the Champions League group stage last term and were not disgraced in a tough pool alongside Barcelona, Juventus and Sporting Lisbon. More...

Sir Dancealot was a 4/1 headline winner for our ITV racing tips on Saturday and now we're hoping to bash the bookies again on day one of the Ebor Festival at York. This card will kick off four days of superb action on the Knavesmire, with this meeting often referred to as the Royal Ascot of the North. More...

We're tracking this season's Premier League relegation odds and following the form of the six teams rated most likely to struggle in the top flight. All three promoted clubs managed to survive last term but a couple of the newcomers are among the favourites to go straight back down this time. More...

Tottenham have a poor record at Old Trafford but will fancy their chances of getting something out of Monday's clash with Manchester United. Spurs have kicked off the new Premier League campaign with a couple of decent wins, whereas the Red Devils are reeling from a disappointing loss at Brighton. More...

Despite suffering a second straight Premier League defeat, Fulham showed improvement against Tottenham and are now fancied to beat Burnley. The Clarets appear to be suffering from the distraction of competing in the Europa League and this visit to London follows Thursday's tough trip to Olympiacos. More...

Huddersfield have struggled to cope with a daunting start to the Premier League season but should now find Cardiff far more conducive company. Our Trueform ratings reflect the fact that the Terriers did show glimpses of promise in heavy losses to Chelsea and Manchester City. More...

Manchester City's 6-1 thrashing of Huddersfield was almost off the chart in terms of our Trueform ratings and the champions are hard to oppose at Wolves. Pep Guardiola's side had previously dominated Chelsea in the Community Shield and Arsenal in their Premier League opener. More...

Newcastle have made a stuttering start to the new Premier League campaign but we haven't forgotten the way they closed last season with a 3-0 demolition of Chelsea. In fact, the Blues have gone five trips to St James' Park without a win, with the Magpies coming out on top in four of those encounters. More...

Leicester are consistently tracking above Southampton on our Trueform chart so they have to be rated as a value pick when underdogs at St Mary's Stadium. Jamie Vardy's suspension for being sent off in a 2-0 triumph over Wolves is a worry, but we're sticking with the Foxes to stun the Saints. More...

Bournemouth and Everton are very hard to split, both on Trueform ratings at the start of this season and form shown at the end of last term. The Cherries are a couple of points better off after two early victories, but the Toffees will be content with a win and a draw at this stage. More...

Unai Emery has had a baptism of fire as Arsenal boss but looks to have a golden opportunity to secure a first Premier League success when West Ham visit Emirates Stadium. The Hammers are also pointless after two matches under Manuel Pellegrini and have shown fewer encouraging signs in our book. More...

Crystal Palace opened their Premier League campaign with a useful win at Fulham, but Liverpool were more impressive when thrashing West Ham. That ties in with last season's head-to-head form, with the Reds being pushed hard by the Eagles but coming out on top by a single-goal margin in both meetings. More...

We've picked out five selections from Wednesday's Championship games for our football accumulator tips and will collect a 106/1-plus pay-out if they all oblige. Don't fret if one of the legs lets you down because bwin's five-team acca insurance comes into play if a single selection goes astray. More...

Swansea and Leeds will both be more than happy with their Championship results so far and we reckon they are hard to split at Liberty Stadium. United are two points better off following three straight wins in this division, but home advantage can help City to hold their own in Wales. More...

Aston Villa and Brentford have both started the new Championship campaign strongly and look evenly matched on the evidence of our Trueform chart. The Bees picked up a stand-out mark for their opening 5-1 rout of Rotherham but Villa are posting consistently good results. More...

Real Madrid can recover from their UEFA Super Cup loss to city rivals Atletico by starting the new La Liga season with a win over Getafe at the Bernabeu. The Whites have won the last nine head-to-head meetings between these sides, with the most recent being a 3-1 triumph at this venue in March. More...

Manchester United made a much brighter start to the new Premier League campaign than Brighton and are now fancied to avenge May's surprise loss at Amex Stadium. The Red Devils registered a solid success against Leicester in the opening round of fixtures, whereas Albion were well beaten at Watford. More...

Huddersfield played better than the bare result suggests when beaten by Chelsea in their Premier League opener and have past history of giving Manchester City a good test. The Terriers held out for a goalless draw at Etihad Stadium in May, having only gone down 2-1 to the Blues at home last November. More...

Watford can be inconsistent but our Trueform ratings suggest they have the ability to beat Burnley on their best Premier League form. The Hornets impressed when seeing off Newcastle late on last term and began the new season with a convincing victory over Brighton. More...

Rangers must travel to Kilmarnock for a tricky Scottish League Cup tie just three days after a demanding Europa League trip to Slovenia to face NK Maribor. There is also the fact that the Glasgow outfit have not won on their last three visits to Rugby Park, including a 2-1 Premiership defeat just before Christmas. More...

Chelsea enjoyed a better start to the Premier League season than Arsenal, but there is not much between these teams on our overall Trueform chart. It is also worth noting that they met five times in all competitions last term and the Gunners did not taste defeat in any of those head-to-head encounters. More...

Newcastle showed enough promise in their opening loss to Tottenham to suggest they can prove a cut above Premier League new boys Cardiff in Wales. City were soundly beaten at Bournemouth on their return to the top flight and are odds-on to go straight back down at the end of the season. More...

West Ham had to endure a chastening experience at Liverpool, but their overall Trueform chart puts them on a similar level to Bournemouth. These teams are also evenly matched on past head-to-head meetings, with two wins apiece and a couple of draws coming from their last six encounters. More...

Tottenham must play one more home game at Wembley before their new stadium is ready but can still brush aside Premier League new boys Fulham. The visitors celebrated their return to the top flight with a summer spending spree but were given a reality check when losing to Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage. More...

Leicester earned plenty of plaudits for their performance in defeat at Manchester United and may just be too strong for Wolves at King Power Stadium. Wanderers marked their Premier League return with an entertaining draw against Everton on home turf but this is a tricky first away fixture back in the top flight. More...

Everton and Southampton both picked up a point last week but the Merseyside outfit made a far more encouraging start to the new Premier League season. The Toffees overcame a contentious red card to draw 2-2 at Wolves in an entertaining encounter, while Saints were involved in a low-key goalless stalemate with Burnley. More...

Stoke have not adjusted well to life in the Championship and could still be vulnerable when visiting Preston on Saturday evening. North End are always difficult opponents at Deepdale and have already claimed league and EFL Cup victories on home turf this month. More...

Tyson Fury continues on the comeback trail when facing Italian heavyweight Francesco Pianeta in Belfast and should have little trouble in extending his unbeaten record to 27-0. The former world champion returned from a long absence to brush aside Sefer Seferi and is expected to be sharper for that outing. More...
