Two more struggling teams contest this year’s second NFL London clash, with the winless Jaguars facing the 1-4 Dolphins. Regular visitors Jacksonville have shown some encouraging signs of late but Miami look a much-more settled side overall and will have a big support.
Brentford have been a breath of fresh air since gaining promotion to the Premier League and are taken to give Chelsea a decent test. The Bees have picked up seven points from their last three matches, winning away to Wolves and West Ham either side of a draw with Liverpool here.
Man City had a tough run of fixtures before the international break but should be able to ease their way back into action when hosting Burnley. The Blues have won their last eight head-to-head meetings with the Clarets, including four straight 5-0 triumphs on home turf.
Brighton have been a revelation in the Premier League this term and are rated a clear form pick to edge out Norwich at Carrow Road. The Canaries have struggled since coming back up to the top flight and even earning a first point at Burnley did little to impress us.
New Watford boss Claudio Ranieri faces a baptism of fire when Liverpool visit Vicarage Road in the Premier League on Saturday. The free-scoring Reds will be looking to go top of the table, even if only briefly, and are hard to oppose on this season’s early form.
Swansea and Cardiff have one of the fiercest rivalries in British football and there is always plenty riding on this South Wales derby. There is even more pressure this time around, with both sides hovering perilously just above the Championship drop-zone.
On the eve of the new NBA season, we’ve taken a look at the early-season prospects of every team using two different measures. We’ve assessed the strength of everyone’s first 10 opponents and considered how much each team’s roster has changed since last term.
Wales have given themselves every chance of finishing second in their World Cup pool and can enhance their prospects by beating Estonia. The Dragons adopted a very positive approach to Friday’s 2-2 draw in the Czech Republic, when proving they can play without Gareth Bale.
Scotland are on course to qualify for the World Cup play-offs and will be determined to avoid any slip-ups when visiting Faroe Islands. Saturday’s dramatic defeat of Israel at Hampden Park put Steve Clarke’s side clear second in Group F behind runaway leaders Denmark.
Northern Ireland need a bit of a miracle to advance from World Cup Group C but are value to keep their slim hopes alive with a win in Bulgaria. Ian Baraclough’s side were held to a goalless draw when these teams met in Belfast back in March but were much the better team.
After two thrilling semi-finals, Spain and France will do battle in the second Nations League decider at the San Siro in Milan. Les Bleus eventually found a way to overcome Belgium’s high-pressing tactics and that should be good practice for now facing La Roja.
Third-placed play-offs are always tough to call but the percentage pick is to go with Italy to make home advantage count against Belgium. The Azzurr should also benefit from having an extra day to recover from their Nations League semi-final loss.
The NFL is back in London with the Atlanta Falcons technically hosting the New York Jets at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Both of these teams are struggling at 1-3 this season but are coming off encouraging recent efforts and an entertaining encounter is expected.
Tyson Fury is expected to make Deontay Wilder pay for forcing him to miss out on a proposed unification clash with Anthony Joshua. Wilder utilised a clause triggering a third fight with the Gypsy King and Oleksandr Usyk stepped in to claim Joshua’s WBA, IBF and WBO belts.
