Green Bay are expected to prove too strong for the Giants in the second of this year’s NFL London games but the underdogs appeal on the spread. The Packers are chasing a fourth straight win but only just scrambled to the last couple of victories and lack attacking weapons out wide.
Fourth-placed Brighton and Tottenham, who are third, tend to be involved in close Premier League encounters, but stalemates are rare. There hasn’t been a draw in their last eight top-flight meetings, but six of those fixtures were settled by just a one-goal margin.
AC Milan and Juventus have both yet to really find any great rhythm so far this season and Saturday’s Serie A clash could be a cagey affair. These teams drew both meetings in Italy’s top flight last term and it would be no surprise to see them share the spoils again.
European champions England and World Cup holders USA will go head-to-head in front of a sell-out crowd at Wembley. The Lionesses have yet to lose under Sarina Wiegman, winning 20 of their 22 matches, while USA are on a 21-match unbeaten run and have won 13 straight.
One of boxing’s fiercest rivalries will be reignited when Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn clash in London on Saturday night. Their famous fathers met twice in the early 1990s, with Eubank winning in Birmingham before an epic draw in front over 40,000 fans at Old Trafford.
Roger Federer’s retirement from professional tennis was greeted with sadness by sports fans around the world, but none more so than his friend and fellow legend Rafael Nadal. How does their story compare with some of the other greatest sporting rivalries of all time?
Penrith are strongly fancied to make it back-to-back NRL Grand Final wins by brushing aside Parramatta at Accor Stadium. The Eels won both regular-season meetings this term, but the Panthers still topped the table and are rated the superior team in almost all key departments.
With heavy rain having hit Paris this week, the 2022 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe promises to be another war of attrition and Onesto is our each-way fancy. Trainer Fabrice Chappet is hoping to give France a third win in four years with this strong-staying three-year-old.
The first of this year’s three NFL London games will see New Orleans take on Minnesota at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and we rate the Vikings a percentage pick. They have done everything expected of them to reach 2-1 so far, whereas the 1-2 Saints look like a team in transition.
We’re tracking the 2022 Strictly Come Dancing odds to see who are the leading contenders to claim this year’s Glitterball Trophy. The first live show of the new series attracted a peak audience of 7.2 million viewers, with 15 couples battling it out on the dancefloor.
England have already been relegated from Nations League Group A3 but should never lack motivation against old rivals Germany. Die Mannschaft can’t qualify for the finals and have some key players out of form at club level, so we’re sticking with the Three Lions at home.
Hungary started out as rank outsiders to win Nations League Group A3 but now only have to avoid defeat at home to Italy to top the table. The Magyars were beaten by the Azzurri in Cesena but three victories and a draw elsewhere have put them in pole position for a place in the finals.
Ukraine have already broken Scotland’s hearts once this year but we’re hoping lightning doesn’t strike twice when they clash in Poland. The Blue and Yellow won June’s World Cup play-off and can still pip Steve Clarke’s side to top spot in Nations League Group B1 with a victory here.
Portugal are in pole position to win Nations League Group A2, being a couple of points in front of Spain heading into this closing contest. The last four head-to-head meetings between these sides have all ended in stalemate and that would suffice for the hosts again in Braga.
