France haven’t won at Twickenham in the Six Nations since 2005 but are fancied to buck that trend by beating England there on Saturday. Both teams will be looking to keep up the pressure on Ireland at the top of the table, but Les Bleus are rated in much better shape.

Ferrari got off to a flying start last year and we’re hoping that proves the case again in our 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix predictions. Charles Leclerc prevailed in the season opener 12 months ago, leading home Carlos Sainz for a Ferrari one-two, and is backed for a repeat success.
Jake Paul and Tommy Fury will attract plenty of betting interest for this month’s long-awaited grudge match in Saudi Arabia. Fury was originally a slight favourite when the pair were first scheduled to face off in December 2021, but is now rated the underdog to prevail.
