Best Odds: 1/2
Bookmaker:
Two camps who are looking to punch their respective EURO 24 ticket on Tuesday night, Ukraine will meet Iceland at the Tarczynski Arena in Wroclaw.
Ukraine
Starting with Ukraine, although they might have been left hugely frustrated on November 20th as they were forced to settle for a controversial 0-0 stalemate against Italy, Serhiy Rebrov’s men have continued to gain a string of plaudits. With only their goal difference stopping them from securing an automatic route out of Group C, the Yellows do find the mood in their camp at a continued high. Mounting a stunning late comeback away at Bosnia Herzegovina as they clinched a 2-1 victory, the former Al-Ahli boss has seen his squad suffer just a single defeat from any of their previous e…
As we officially enter a stacked winter schedule, the Premier League will certainly steal centre stage this weekend.
With a heavyweight schedule from across England’s elite, it will certainly be Tottenham’s trip to Manchester City that has most of the focus.
Likewise, on a Sunday schedule that includes both Aston Villa and Liverpool, we have taken an in-depth look at some of the best Premier League betting markets that are available.
Sunday, December 3rd
12:30 Liverpool vs Fulham
Although Liverpool might have come under plenty of scrutiny last season as they missed out on a top-four finish, Jurgen Klopp’s men have certainly come roaring back this time around. Putting in a routine Europa League performance earlier in the week as they breezed their way to…
England boss Roy Hodgson made wholesale changes to his team for the Three Lions 0-0 draw with Slovakia
England finished second in Group B, which has put them in the same side of the draw that features Germany, Slovakia, Italy, Spain, France and the Republic of Ireland.
Wales, who topped the group, have more favourable competition with Switzerland, Poland, Croatia, Portugal, Northern Ireland, Hungary and Belgium.
It’s led to criticism of England for not taking the group stages more seriously given how much easier their journey to the final could have been, so have they blown their chances of success given the task at hand?
England will have to beat stellar opposition to reach the final

Arne Slot is still learning about his Liverpool players day by day as they prepare for Saturday s Premier League clash with Wolves at Molineux.
The Reds suffered a shock 1-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest earlier this month, but they have otherwise impressed with four wins from five.
Add an away win at AC Milan in the Champions League into the mix and Slot has made a near seamless start since succeeding Jurgen Klopp.
The Dutchman has been pleased with the mentality of his players, who he is still getting to know in the early stages of his tenure.
Before the [Bournemouth] game I actually told the players that I am still learning from them day by day, he told the club website.
I had already seen their reaction to the defeat against Nottingham Fore…
Carlos Tevez intends to retire when his Boca Juniors contract expires at the end of 2019.
The former Manchester United, Manchester City and Juventus striker rejoined Boca for a second time in January, cutting short his stay at Shanghai Shenhua – who reportedly made him the world s highest-paid player.
Tevez has scored just four goals since his return and was substituted as Guillermo Barros Schelotto s side clinched the Superliga title with a 2-2 draw at Gimnasia La Plata last week, with the end now in sight for the 34-year-old.
I think that when my contract ends at the end of next year I will [retire], he said on Canal 13.
Other times, I missed the club when I left, but this time it won t be the same. I won t go to another team and I ll retire with th…
Pep Guardiola insisted Rodri’s injury will not stop Manchester City in their quest for a record fourth consecutive Premier League title, having overcome similar situations in recent years.
Rodri, who played 50 times for City last season, was forced off injured in their enthralling 2-2 draw with Arsenal last weekend, with the club confirming the Spaniard had suffered serious knee ligament damage.
It again throws into question the Citizens ability to operate without their star midfielder, having seen their win percentage drop from 76% to 55.6% across the nine games he missed last year.
Ahead of facing Newcastle at St. James’ Park this weekend, Guardiola likened the situation to the one he experienced with Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne, explaining his side …
Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp on Thursday signed a two-year contract extension with the Bundesliga leaders which will keep him in the Ruhr valley until at least 2014.
The 43-year-old is enjoying a stellar season at the helm of Dortmund who are seven points clear of second-placed Mainz in the German league and have a 14-point lead over defending champions Bayern Munich, who are eighth.
I want to develop what I have started here, said Klopp.
I m incredibly happy to have this confidence shown in me.
When I told my family about the extension, there was a lot of celebrating at home.
I am really excited about the next three and a half years.
Dortmund s managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke said the contract extension had been signed…
There were 32 teams, now there are just four.
The World Cup semi-finals are upon us, with either France, Belgium, England or Croatia set to lift the trophy at the end of Sunday s final in Moscow.
Both semi-finals look too close to call, with no clear favourite for the title after five-time winners Brazil were beaten by Belgium in the last round.
Without further ado, here is our guide to the World Cup semi-finals
France v Belgium
Date, time and venue: Tuesday, July 10 (21:00 local time) Krestovsky Stadium, St Petersburg
Belgium s golden generation are on the brink of greatness, Roberto Martinez having seen his reputation rocket over the course of the tournament. Belgium were 2-0 down against Japan in the last 16 and looking like they would c…
Roberto Mancini hopes to complete a redemption tale with Italy s national team when they face England in the final of Euro 2020.
Mancini was a lavishly skilled forward and a talismanic leader for Sampdoria during his playing days, but the presence of the likes of Roberto Baggio and Gianfranco Zola in the Azzurri ranks, along with some tempestuous fallouts with coaches meant his was an international career that remained frustratingly unfulfilled.
He amassed 36 caps and scored just four times between 1984 and 1994, yet the 56-year-old s appointment as Azzurri boss in the aftermath of their failure to reach the 2018 World Cup has proved restorative for him and his country.
Playing in an adventurous, attacking style that Mancini pledged to stick with at Wembley, Ita…
Either Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo will be awarded the Ballon d Or on Thursday and, when comparing the two in 2017, the numbers mostly favour the Barcelona superstar.
For his club, Messi has scored more goals than Ronaldo (48 to 37), contributed more assists (14 to eight) and created more big chances (35 to 16).
But stats only count for so much. What really counts is how you perform in the biggest of moments and, in 2017, nobody has come close to touching Real Madrid s Ronaldo in that regard.
Messi did salvage a place at the World Cup for Argentina with a stunning hat-trick as they put Ecuador to the sword, but that rescue mission after a farcical qualifying campaign pales in comparison to what Ronaldo achieved in the month of May.
A hat-trick …
