Bohemians Look a Solid Bet to Pick Up Home Win

Hearts Face Cowdenbeath In League Cup Encounter

Domestic football, at least in one part of the United Kingdom, is officially back in business. The Scottish League Cup is going to put some of the best in the Scottish game against some of the worst, which should be pretty entertaining (or so the advertising boards would have you believe). Today we’re going to look at Cowdenbeath vs Hearts which, by all means, looks like a bit of a mismatch. Even with that being the case,

Senegal Battle Tunisia For Place In AFCON Final

We’re down to the final four in the Africa Cup of Nations 2019, with all four teams believing that they’re in with a realistic chance of winning the tournament altogether. In terms of favourites, however, the expectation is that the winner of the semi-final we’re going to discuss today will be the ones to get their hands on the trophy.

The game we’re going to be taking a look at today will be an all-Western Conference affair,

Should big clubs be playing much smaller clubs in their pre-season friendlies?

Hearts to Land Friday Night Cup Win

The Scottish Cup seems to start earlier and earlier each year and it seem strange to be talking about competitive club football this weekend, but that is exactly what we have. The pace of these games is often a little slower than a regular game as teams get up to speed, but they are certainly more competitive than the friendlies we will see English clubs taking part in over the weekend. The first game of the Scottish Cup takes place on Friday night,

Tunisia Fancied to End Madagascar Run

The game between Tunisia and Madagascar will be the last of the four quarter finals in the African Cup of Nations and after this game has been played we will know the four semi finalists. Senegal are already through and they are waiting for the winner of this game, with the semi final to be played on Sunday evening. Tunisia are expected to be here, getting to this stage was the minimum for them but Madagascar have performed better than expected to get here,

Nigeria Fancied to Make African Nations Semi Finals

We are at the quarter final stage of the African Cup of Nations and the four winners from this round will find themselves in the semi finals over the weekend. This is where things get a little more serious, and teams genuinely believe they have a chance of winning the tournament. Nigeria are one of the remaining teams who are definitely in with a chance of winning, and they go up against South Africa on Wednesday night in one of the quarter finals.

Celtic Fancied to Bring Home Advantage in Champions League Tie

While the start for Celtic in their Champions League qualifying stage doesn’t look the easiest of away trips in terms of where they are travelling to, it does look to be a game they can win, which will make their second leg a comfortable night at home. They travel to Bosnia on Tuesday night to take on Sarajevo FC, a game they are rightfully favourites for.

The reason why Celtic are a backable price in this one is simply the place they are going to visit.

Mali Clash With Ivory Coast In Africa Cup of Nations

Brazil Face Peru In Huge Copa America Final

After a thoroughly entertaining and dramatic tournament, the 2019 edition of Copa America is set to come to an end tomorrow night as hosts Brazil go head to head with heavy underdogs Peru. The expectation is that the Brazilians will lift the trophy for the first time since back in 2007, but the Peruvians won’t want to let this opportunity slip them by as they try and become champions for the first time since 1975.

Nigeria Face Cameroon In Big AFCON Clash

The Africa Cup of Nations has been ongoing for a while now, but even with that being the case, it feels as if it has yet to really burst into life as many anticipated it would. Now, as we navigate our way through the knockout stages, it’ll be interesting to see whether or not that dynamic shifts. The game we’re going to be looking at today could easily pass off as the final, with two of Africa’s greatest football nations in the form of Nigeria and Cameroon being set to go head to head for a place in the final eight.

Morocco Set to Keep Winning Run Going against Benin

Morocco have been pretty impressive early on in the African Cup Of Nations, recording three wins from their three group games. That doesn’t tell the whole story about their success and you can pick holes in it if you want. They have won all three games by a score of 1-0, and needed late goals to win two of them. Some people will see that as a concern but actually, I think it’s a positive for them.
