Market: Both teams to score
Odds: 10/11 @
Desperate to move one step closer to booking their spot at next year s European Championships, Scotland will welcome Israel to an empty Hampden on Thursday night.
Starting with the hosts, last seen putting in what was another eye-catching display as they landed a 2-1 win away at the Czech Republic on Nations League duties last month, Scotland have made a string of improvements since appointing Steve Clarke. Enjoying what has been by far their most fruitful run in recent memory and with their 1-1 draw against Israel the only minor blip on their record over the past 12 months, it does appear there is a new-found confidence in the Tartan Army s camp. Signing off their EURO 20201 qualifying campaign with a real flurry and wi…
Week 4 in the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League Group Stage had a lot of action between Tuesday and Wednesday. Unlike past matchweeks, this time it was extremely hard to choose only five players that stood above the rest on an individual basis.
Here are the top five performers during Week 4 of the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League group stage.
Rodrygo Goes – Real Madrid
When Vinicius Jr. joined Real Madrid last season, there was a lot of talk about him as a future stud and being the second coming of Neymar Jr. What many Real Madrid fans didn’t know was that Los Merengues also signed another Brazilian who was one year younger, and equally talented as Vinicius. And that Brazilian forward, who goes by the name of Rodrygo Goes, had his “coming out party” on Wednesday again…
AC Milan boss Massimilliano Allegri is under pressure after his side drew 1-1 with Malaga at the San Siro
Tuesday’s Champions League games produced 22 goals and a host of talking points. Group D produced some of the biggest talking points.
Manchester City had to come back from two goals down to claim a 2-2 draw with Ajax at the Etihad Stadium.
The away side made a dream start, as Siem de Jong opened the scoring after just 10 minutes from an acute angle. It got even better for the visitors on 17th minute with De Jong heading home his second from a Christian Eriksen corner kick.
City were back in the game on 22 minutes, midfielder Yaya Toure controlling superbly on his chest before firing past Kenneth Vermeer in the Ajax goal. Sergio Aguero was denied an…
Reading have been charged by the EFL with multiple breaches of its financial regulations for repeatedly failing to pay their players in the 2022-23 season.
The charges relate to three separate occasions on which players’ wages were not paid on time and in full as the team were relegated from the Championship.
Owner Dai Yongge has also been charged with allowing the club to be in breach of the EFL’s financial rules.
EFL Statement: Reading FC
— EFL Communications (@EFL_Comms)
Reading were docked six points in April for breaking profit and sustainability rules which ultimately led to them finishing in the bottom three and dropping into League One.
Manager Paul Ince was sacked later that month with the club on a winless run of eight ga…
A non-conference clash in the Windy City sends the Cincinnati Bengals on the road to face the Chicago Bears in Week 2.
The NFL betting odds had Chicago laying a field goal after a 34-14 loss to the Rams in Week 1, but with the Bengals off an upset OT win over Minnesota at home, the spread has dipped under the key number at some sportsbooks with early action on the underdog.

Both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens are just alive in the playoff hunt but it’s going to take something very special for either team to find themselves playing next week. The game has wider significance too, with it very likely being the last time we see Ben Roethlisberger in the black and gold.

The Indianapolis Colts will look to lick their wounds and play the role of spoiler when they host the Los Angeles Chargers at Lucas Oil Stadium on Monday Night Football.
The Colts will be in action for the first time since blowing a 33-0 halftime lead to the Vikings, an all-time NFL blunder. They’re a mere 1-4 in the Jeff Saturday era and are turning to their third different starting quarterback of the season in Nick Foles.
Austin Ekeler and the Chargers will try to take advantage of Indy’s situation and improve their playoff standing. Check out my three favorite Austin Ekeler NFL prop picks below.

The schedule gets nasty in Week 6 with the opening third of the NFL season coming to a close.
Not only do teams really start to feel the wear and tear of the gridiron, but several clubs are up against tricky situations that could impact the outcome of their Week 6 odds.
Each week I highlight these spots — aka spot bets — and what to consider when folding these angles into your usual handicapping routine.
Here are my top letdown, look-ahead, and schedule spots to consider when betting the Week 6 NFL odds.
Letdown spot: Minnesota Vikings (-3.5) at Chicago Bears
The Vikings shift gears in Week 6, coming off a huge home stand against the Kansas City Chiefs before traveling to the Windy City to fac…
Coming off a humbling loss on Monday, the San Francisco 49ers will look to wrap up the No.1 spot in the NFC as a practicing Brock Purdy and the Niners cross the country to take on the Washington Commanders who have dropped six straight, are decimated in the secondary, and might have to go back to Sam Howell under center.
It’s not easy finding value in Christian McCaffrey’s props, but with Elijah Mitchell likely back and a concentrated effort to get CMC more involved in the passing game, is a five-catch game on the horizon for the MVP hopeful despite being a heavy favorite?
I break down the Week 17 NFL odds and offer my free NFL picks for 49ers at Commanders on December 31.

The Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins are expected to battle atop the AFC East standings all season, making Week 2’s Thursday Night Football matchup a massive one.
Both teams escaped with wins in their season openers, and our Bills vs. Dolphins predictions like Josh Allen to come out firing under tonight’s prime-time lights.
In addition to my best NFL picks on September 12, check out Rohit Ponnaiya’s favorite Bills vs. Dolphins props.
Bills vs Dolphins TNF prediction
My best betJosh Allen Over 1.5 passing touchdowns (+102 at FanDuel)
My analysisJosh Allen put together one hell of a game for the Buffalo Bills in Week 1, throwing for two touchdowns and running for two others in a 34-28 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
