Comerciantes Unidos have failed to score in their last three Peru Liga 1 away games and have lost six of their eight league trips this season. AD Tarna have not been in great scoring form, netting just five times in their last five home games, but they have only lost one of these fixtures, and they beat AD Tarna 2-0 in last season’s corresponding fixture.

Partick won 6-0 at Edinburgh in this competition last season and the Championship side should have far too much quality for their League Two hosts in this latest meeting.

Bohemians have won six and drawn one of their last eight home league games, and they face a struggling Galway United side that have failed to win their last seven away matches, losing on four occasions.

Waterford should take full advantage of Cork’s woeful away form. The visitors have lost 16 of their last 20 on the road in the Premier Division and are bottom of the table with just two wins all season. Waterford have already won eight times and can add another here against a defensively fragile Cork side.

Portugal need a win to stand any chance of qualifying from Euro 2025 Group B, but they have failed to do so in any of their last seven games and were fortunate to get a draw against Italy last time out. Belgium, despite having no points and already being eliminated, have performed better than Portugal this tournament, and they have only lost two of their eight meetings with Portugal.

Spain Women have won their last seven matches and have thrashed Belgium and Portugal so far this tournament. However, they have only kept one clean sheet in their last ten games, while Italy have scored in six of their last seven fixtures.

Justin Thomas has struggled in his last two Masters starts – no surprise given the downturn in his form generally – but he ended 2024 by finishing second and third in his last two events. He’s well suited to Augusta, where his approach play and scrambling ability are huge assets.

Rory McIlroy’s first PGA Tour title came at the Charlotte venue in 2010 and he’s gone on to win the Wells Fargo Championship at the course on a further three occasions. He is comfortable at Quail Hollow and looks an obvious title threat if he can hold it together mentally.

A runner-up in 2022 and third in 2023, the exacting test which the US Open usually provides should prove to be ideal for such a marvellous ball-striker as Scottie Scheffler.

Tommy Fleetwood is one of the best exponents of links golf in the world, finishing in the top 12 in four of the last six Opens. Expect him to make another bold run at the Claret Jug come July.

Aryna Sabalenka dominated the hard courts on the WTA tour last year, winning 40 of her 49 matches on the surface, and she claimed both the Australian Open and US Open titles. She can be devastating in Melbourne, winning 27 of her last 28 matches at the Grand Slam in the last three seasons.

Iga Swiatek remains the undisputed queen of clay on the WTA tour. The Pole has won the title at Roland Garros three seasons running as well as in 2020 and she has lost just twice in 37 matches at the clay-court Grand Slam.

Last season’s ATP Tour was pretty much dominated by Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who each won two of the four Grand Slam titles, and between them it should be another stellar year. Alcaraz reigned supreme at Wimbledon, making it back-to-back titles at the All England Club, and Novak Djokovic’s obvious decline at 37 years of age makes the Spaniard a worthy favourite to rack up the hat-trick.

At the back end of a gruelling season, the US Open can sometimes throw up strange results and there are often surprises before the September silverware is eventually secured. It could, therefore, be worth going against the head of the market and hard-court specialist Daniil Medvedev ticks plenty of boxes at a nice price.

Carlos Alcaraz won the French Open despite facing three match points in the fourth set to reel in Jannik Sinner in the final. That was the fifth time in the last six meetings that Alcaraz had got the better of his fierce rival, while he is on an 18-match winning streak, having won the last three tournaments he has contested.

2023 winner Vondrousova recently won in Berlin, while she defeated Madison Keys, Diana Shnaider, Ons Jabeur and Sabalenka along the way. She’s capable of matching top-seed Sabalenka, making her a good outside option to win the title.

Partick won 6-0 at Edinburgh in this competition last season and the Championship side should have far too much quality for their League Two hosts in this latest meeting. However, they did struggle for clean sheets, and Edinburgh City should find the net after notching 32 times in 18 home league games last season.

Italy conceded three goals in defeats to Sweden and Denmark earlier this year and have scored exactly once in both their group games in Euro 2025. They should be able to keep things more respectable than Spain’s previous opponents this tournament.

Each of Bohemians’ last three home wins have been accompanied by a clean sheet and two of these ended 1-0, while Galway United have lost by a 1-0 scoreline in two of their last five away matches.

Esther Gonzalez has scored three goals in Euro 2025 so far and has six goals in her last five appearances for club and country. She can add to her 36 international goals on Friday.

Only champions Liverpool are a shorter price than Tottenham to win their opening Premier League fixture and I think I would look to oppose Spurs.Of course, a home tie against Burnley appears a fairly kind fixture, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Clarets, who conceded only 16 goals in 46 Championship matches last term, were difficult to break down.The decision to replace Ange Postecoglou with Thomas Frank wasn’t met with unanimous euphoria in north London and it could take a while for Spurs to find their stride.

Brentford have a busy summer ahead as they plan for a future after Thomas Frank but they should be ready for the opening weekend of the season and can start with a win against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.The Bees might be without Bryan Mbeumo, who has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, but they are usually a step ahead when it comes to player recruitment and are likely to assemble a strong squad over the next few weeks.Forest will be in for a tough game and they might struggle to shrug off the disappointment of missing out on Champions League qualification.The Tricky Trees have taken one point from their last four home games and they could be stung by the Bees.

Despite little expectation, there was plenty of promise in Fabian Hurzeler’s first season at the Amex and it would be no surprise to see a young Brighton side take another forward step next term.The Seagulls saw out the campaign by drawing with Newcastle and beating West Ham, Wolves, Liverpool and Tottenham in their final five matches and they have already added Sunderland’s playoff hero Tommy Watson and Italy Under-21 centre-back Diego Coppola to a strong squad.Fulham, meanwhile, lost five of their last seven matches of the season, only beating Southampton and Brentford, and are yet to bring in any new faces, suggesting an opening-day defeat may be on the cards for the Cottagers.

Pep Guardiola must adapt his usual pre-season plans due to Manchester City’s involvement in the Club World Cup and the Citizens could drop points in a tricky opening assignment at Wolves.City made hard work of May’s 1-0 home victory over Wolves, who hit the woodwork twice at the Etihad Stadium, and they needed a 95th-minute John Stones winner at Molineux in October.Wolves sold forward Matheus Cunha to Manchester United and left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri to City but their recruitment has been good in recent years and they won ten of their 22 league matches after Vitor Pereira’s arrival in December.

Leeds were the highest-scoring side in last season’s Championship, but they may find the going tougher in the top flight, and they could kick off their season with a low-scoring affair at Elland Road.Ten of Everton’s final 12 games of 2024/25 featured fewer than three goals, and their away games throughout last season averaged a Premier League low of 1.95 goals per game. A mere 26 per cent of them went over 2.5 goals, and no team outside the top four conceded fewer goals than the Toffees.

Liverpool won by at least two goals in nine of their 14 home victories last season, while they comfortably saw off Bournemouth home and away. The Cherries lost 3-0 at Anfield and 2-0 at home to the Reds, despite enjoying a successful campaign.Bournemouth have already sold Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid, while Liverpool are pursuing their left-back Milos Kerkez. The Reds will have plenty of time to bed in their new signings, while Andoni Iraola’s side will likely start this campaign weakened at the back. Back the champions to lay down a marker in their opener.

Montse Tome’s side look to have a much easier group that contains Italy, Portugal and Belgium, especially as they put 19 goals past the latter two in four Nations League meetings this season. Spain have demonstrated they know how to bottle a winning formula and they look strong candidates to add to their trophy collection.

Tadej Pogacar has been nigh on unbeatable since winning a third yellow jersey, claiming the world championship title and three Monuments, and he looks capable of landing this year’s Tour de France.

Lando Norris is yet to win around Silverstone, but the 25-year-old has outperformed team-mate Oscar Piastri in each of their two British Grands Prix at McLaren, finishing third here last year and second the year before, both times over 12 seconds ahead of the Australian.

Ryan Fox looks an excellent each-way bet at generous odds. Fox has claimed PGA Tour titles at the Myrtle Beach Classic and the Canadian Open since the start of May. He is a proven links specialist, winning the Dunhill Links in 2022 – where three of the four rounds are played on Open venues – and he was 16th at Portrush in 2019.

Oleksandr Usyk already has one KO win over Daniel Dubois on his CV and he can remove any controversy over that result with another stoppage in the rematch. The Ukrainian is too slick to get caught by Dubois and has the power and accuracy to win without needing the scorecards.

Lincoln Red Imps have only won two away games in their 11-year continental history and they have lost ten of their last 11 European away games, while Vikingur Gota have won two of their last five home European games without conceding.

PSG have won nine of their last ten competitive games and were the better side against Bayern Munich. They have scored at least twice in each of these nine wins, and they could get the better of a Real Madrid side that have only won one of their last four meetings with Les Parisiens.

Partizan Belgrade have not won an away game in Europe since the 2022/23 Europa Conference League play-offs, and another defeat is on the cards when they visit Larnaca on Thursday.The Serbian side have lost seven of their last eight games in Europe, shipping 20 goals in that period and scoring just four in return. AEK won both their home qualifiers in last season’s UEFA Conference League and can make it three in a row here.

Cork City are rock bottom of the Irish Premier Division and their dismal away record looks set to continue in Waterford.They have picked up just two points from 11 league away games this season and head to the Regional Sports Centre having lost their last five trips away. Waterford have taken 11 points from the last 18 available at home and look good value to move further clear of the relegation zone.

Sandefjord are a point ahead of Bodo/Glimt in the Norwegian Eliteserien, but Saturday’s hosts have started to find their feet recently and should coast to victory on home soil.They have won two of their four home league games this season and four of their last five home meetings with Sandefjord, who head to Aspmyra Stadion having lost their last four competitive away games.

Stromsgodset have amassed just six points from a possible 36 in the Norwegian Eliteserien this season, and they may sink further from safety at third-placed Tromso on Sunday.Sunday’s hosts have lost all six home league games this season by an aggregate scoreline of 13-3, and Tromso head into this tie having won each of their last seven in all competitions. They haven’t lost an away game since their first trip of the season, and their winning run should continue in Drammen.
