Back our 29/1 cross-sport accumulator here!
Six Nations – England vs France (Saturday, 16:45)
Tip – France to win
France showed the perfect blend of power and flair in their big opening win over Wales and their attacking game could prove too much for England.
Coach Steve Borthwick has shaken up his starting line-up but it’s something of a gamble and France can seize on any uncertainty or lack of cohesion.
La Liga – Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid (Saturday, 20:00)
Tip – Atletico Madrid win or draw double chance
The top two meet on Saturday evening in the Madrid derby, and Atletico Madrid could defy the odds against defending champions Real Madrid.
Los Blancos have failed to win any of their last seven meetings inside 90 minutes with their cross-city rivals and Los Rojiblancos have won 19 of their last 21 competitive matches, whilst Los Blancos are without the likes of Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Eduardo Camavinga, and Antonio Rudiger.

Boxing – Derek Chisora vs Otto Wallin (Saturday, 22:00)
Tip – Derek Chisora to win
Derek Chisora is the underdog, but he will want to sign off his career with a win, and he managed to overcome the odds against Joe Joyce last time out.
All of the 41-year-old’s defeats have come against elite fighters. Wallin does not fit into that category, and a win over Chisora would rank among the best results of his career.

UFC 312 – Dricus Du Plessis vs Sean Strickland (Sunday, 05:00)
Tip – Dricus Du Plessis to win
Dricus Du Plessis enters this UFC Middleweight title fight with a record of 8-0 in the UFC and is justified favourite against Sean Strickland, who has lost six of his 24 bouts in the UFC.
Du Plessis beat Strickland in a split decision when they met just over a year ago, but he has improved since then and should win comfortable on Sunday morning.
FA Cup – Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur (Sunday, 17:35)
Tip – Both teams to score
A 4-0 defeat at Anfield saw Tottenham’s hopes of winning a trophy reduced in midweek and, while they are underdogs for Sunday’s trip to Villa Park, they should at least get on the scoresheet.
Aston Villa have conceded in 12 of their last 13 games in all competitions and both teams to score has landed in six successive Villa home games, while Tottenham have scored in six of their last seven games.
Super Bowl LIX – Kansas City Chiefs vs Philadelphia Eagles (Sunday, 23:30)
Tip – Kansas City Chiefs Money Line
The Kansas City Chiefs are targeting an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl and should be backed to make history on Sunday night.
They finished the regular season with a 15-2 record and Patrick Mahomes and company know what it takes to win on the big stage. Their stars grow under the spotlight and it would take a brave soul to bet against them.
