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.
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.
Seattle Sounders will look to continue their dominance against Vancouver Whitecaps on Tuesday. The Sounders are unbeaten in 14 meetings with the Whitecaps, winning nine, and are firm favourites to prevail once again at Lumen Field.
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.
Ukraine put in an inspired performance to see off Scotland in the World Cup play-offs and are fancied for another emotional triumph in Wales. Oleksandr Petrakov’s men played in a positive manner at Hampden Park, showing no signs of being adversely affected by events elsewhere.
Italy take on Argentina as the champions of Europe and South America meet at Wembley in the 2022 Finalissima. The match is a one-off tie over 90 minutes and will go straight to penalties if it ends in a draw and should be an entertaining spectacle, with tickets selling out.
Huddersfield take on Nottingham Forest in an intriguing Championship play-off final, with a place in the Premier League at stake. Forest arguably have the better team on paper, but Town are resilient, hang in there in matches and have a happy knack of taking their chances.
Cincinnati will look to continue their impressive recent away form when they travel to Montreal on Sunday. Pat Noonan’s side have won their last three on the road and face an Impact team who have lost their last two MLS fixtures.
Vancouver edged out Kansas City 1-0 on home turf last month but a switch in venue to Children’s Mercy Park could even things up this weekend. Both teams have put in a series of solid performances of late but they still fill the bottom two places in the Western Conference table.
Burnley will stay in the Premier League if beating Newcastle but we reckon a draw at Turf Moor could leave the Clarets sweating on events elsewhere. They would then have to hope that Leeds fail to win at Brentford, as a thrilling relegation battle goes right down to the wire.
Tottenham are now in pole position for the final Champions League place heading into the last game of the season against Norwich. Antonio Conte’s side leapfrogged north London rivals Arsenal with a 1-0 home win over Burnley before the Gunners went down 2-0 at Newcastle.
West Ham will be trying to pip Man Utd to sixth place in the Premier League table when visiting Brighton in the final round of fixtures. Moving up would mean an upgrade from the Europa Conference League to the Europa League, with the Hammers currently two points behind.
Burnley can climb back out of the Premier League relegation zone if picking up a point at Aston Villa but we fear that will be a difficult task. They have drawn at Villa Park for the past two seasons, but the bad news is they were beaten 3-1 at home by Villa earlier this month.
Everton missed a good chance to end their relegation fears when losing to Brentford and now face a tricky test against Crystal Palace. The Eagles are unbeaten in four matches, playing well and still hoping to finish the season in the top half of the Premier League table.
