Toronto are favourites to top the East Division table but Montreal will have the benefit of a previous outing this term at BMO Field. The Alouettes pushed Calgary close in the opening round of fixtures and are expected to be competitive again versus the potentially rusty Argonauts.
England could do with a win to ease any Nations League relegation fears but there is little to suggest Hungary will roll over. The Magyars prevailed 1-0 when these teams met in Budapest recently and held the Three Lions to a draw in last October’s Wembley World Cup qualifier.
The last three encounters between Germany and Italy have ended in stalemate and another tight tussle is on the cards in Monchengladbach. Die Mannschaft and the Azzurri shared the spoils in Bologna earlier this month and both teams are unbeaten in Nations League Group A3.
Netherlands will be looking to strengthen their position at the top of Nations League Group A4 when entertaining basement dwellers Wales. The Dutch claimed a dramatic 2-1 win when these teams met in Cardiff last week and another entertaining encounter is anticipated.
Poland were put to the sword by Belgium last week but may have the chance to gain revenge in the return Nations League fixture. The Red Devils have since been rocked by a number of withdrawals and this could just be a case of one match too many after a long season.
Ireland laid to rest their Nations League hoodoo in emphatic fashion when beating Scotland and can build on that by avoiding defeat versus Ukraine. The men in green were edged out 1-0 by the same opponents in Dublin last week but there was nothing between the sides.
France are languishing at the foot of the Nations League Group A1 table and will be determined to ease any relegation fears by beating Croatia. The visitors enjoyed a boost when winning in Denmark last time out, but that may lead to a drop in intensity for this Paris clash.
Denmark suffered a frustrating loss to Croatia but are still top of Nations League Group A1 and can get back on track by beating Austria. The Danes have won the last four meetings, including two Qatar World Cup qualifiers and last week’s Vienna success in this pool.
Tampa Bay are underdogs to complete a hat-trick of NHL title triumphs in the 2022 Stanley Cup Final odds, with Colorado firm favourites. The Avalanche will have home advantage in up to four matches and are 1.53 to lift the trophy, with the Lightning quoted at 2.55.
Canada have named a strong squad for the Nations League and look too powerful for an experimental Honduras outfit in San Pedro Sula. The Reds prevailed 2-0 here in a January World Cup qualifier and are fancied to return home with maximum points once more.
Spain will hopefully have learned the lessons of last week’s 2-2 Nations League draw in the Czech Republic ahead of Sunday’s Malaga rematch. La Roja dominated that contest, having 73 per cent possession, but were caught out twice on the break.
To celebrate the upcoming Stanley Cup Finals, our analysts have compiled a quiz to get fans fired up for the NHL championship decider. There are only 10 questions, making it the ideal challenge for a coffee break or during an intermission!
Calgary have enjoyed a couple of big pre-season victories and can kick off the new CFL campaign by seeing off Montreal on home turf. The visitors have been involved in two close encounters but after making some significant changes since last term, may need more time.
Edmonton have found Colorado just too strong in the Stanley Cup playoffs but can hopefully stay alive in the series by winning Game 4. The Oilers were competitive on home ice on Saturday and may just be able to outwork the Avalanche with the crowd behind them again.
