Sweden advanced to this stage by knocking out favorite USA in penalty kicks. It looked like the USA was going to win the kickoff, but they missed two late shots to give Sweden the win. Meanwhile, Japan is coming off a win over Norway, 3-1. Japan has also scored 14 goals while allowing just one goal. That makes Japan the top team in the World Cup in goal differential. Sweden is third in goal differential with a 9-1 advantage. Have to think Sweden might be in for a bit of a letdown after beating the USA in that emotional penalty kick segment. Plus Japan just has so many weapons on offense. I'll take Japan here today on the money line as a small dog. Play Japan money line.

 In what might be their biggest test thus far, the USA Women's team looks to continue defending of their World Cup Championship here early on Sunday against Sweden. The USA really limped through the group section. First they beat Vietnam 3-0 as a 6 1/2 goal favorite. Then they had to come from behind to gain a draw with the Netherlands, 1-1. And in their final group game, they needed a draw or win to advance vs Portugal. A loss and they were eliminated. They did draw, 0-0. But three games they were big favorites in and they just did get by. As for Sweden, they are the World's 2nd ranked team. They opened World Cup with a win over South Africa, 2-1, then easily beat Italy, 5-0 and finally a 2-0 win over Argentina. They have a 9-1 goal advantage this World Cup. I have not been impressed with the way the USA has played thus far. And, to make matters worse they will be without a key player for this game. Rose Lavelle picked up her second yellow card in the game vs Portugal and will be suspended for this round of 16 game. Lavelle is considered one of the team's top players. I will take Sweden here on Sunday on the goal line +1/2 goal.  

Women's World Cup continues on the other side of the world in Australia as the USA faces Portugal in this 3AM Eastern clash. This is the final group game. If Portugal wins they advance to the next stage. If they draw then they need the Netherlands to lose to Vietnam to advance. The USA will advance with a win or a draw. They just not need to lose to advance. The USA had a draw with the Netherlands in their last game. Portugal beat Vietnam, 2-0. The USA is a big favorite here today so a loss would be a shock. They only need to NOT lose to advance. The USA haven't lost in 19 straight Women's World Cup games with 15 wins and four draws. I expect a win here early in the morning by the USA. I'm going to lay 1.5 goals.

Brisbane Stadium is the host site on Saturday morning for this Women's World Cup clash between France and Brazil. This group F match has what are expected to be the two best teams. France opened with a difficult 0-0 draw last Sunday against Jamaica. Meanwhile, Brazil cruised to an easy win over Panama on Monday, 4-0. This is one of the marquee matchups thus far as France is ranked No 5 in the FIFA standings and Brazin is No 8. France is 5-2-1 in 2023 and Brazil is 4-0-3. France has taken the last meeting between these clubs in 2022, 2-1. Both teams can score as both average right around two goals per game. Very even match here on Saturday, but I'll take Brazil at this nice dog price. Play Brazil.

UEFA Championship League action here on Wednesday has Chelsea taking on Real Madrid. Real Madrid are the reigning EUFA Champions and have lost just one of their last 10 EUFA games. This is the third consecutive season that these two teams have met. They are 1-1 in the previous two games with Madrid winning in the quarter-finals last season. Chelsea in a bit of a funk, losing to Wolverhampton on Saturday and now winless in their last four games. In addition, they have gone 323 minutes in the Premier league without a goal. Real Madrid at home here today makes a huge difference. With Chelsea's recent form and home field to Madrid, I'll be on Real Madrid here today.

It's two storied rivals meeting tonight in the CONCACAF Women's Championship as the USA and Canada will meet to crown a champion. This is the first time these teams have played each other since last year's Olympic match which Canada won, 1-0.  That was a rare win for Canada too. In their 25-game history, the USA has won 20 of the previous 25 meetings with their neighbors to the North.  The USA has also been on a 17-game unbeaten streak since their loss to the Reds in the Olympics.  

Both teams breezed through their group play and both teams did not allow a single goal, outscoring both of their opponents by a goal differential of 12-0. The USA has won this Concacaf eight times, whil Canada has won twice and been runner up five times.  Both teams in excellent form and both playing great defense too. The USA team still has a bad taste in their mouth from that loss in the Olympic and their recent play proves they are on a mission. This will be the revenge game here tonight the USA women's team. Play USA.

Premier league action here today as Southamtpton hosts Aston Villa at Saint Mary's Stadium. Both teams have struggled of late. Southampton has eight points over their last six matches while Aston Villa has lost four consecutive games. Southampton has recent wins over Leeds and Watford and a draw with Burnley over their last four matches. Villa has struggled, but more so on the road where they have lost to Tottenham, Aresenal and West Ham. Moreover, they have a -7 goal differential during that span. This almost looks like a gift today with this Southampton club. Take Southampton

It's the final of the 2020 EURO Futbal championship as Italy takes on England for the title. Home advantage here today to England as this game will be played in Wembley Stadium. Italy got here via a penalty shootout with Spain. England was tied with Denmark, 1-1 after regulation and that game too 120 minutes of play for England to come out on top, 2-1. England hasn't played in a major tournament final for 55 years. Italy bring a 33-game unbeaten streak into today's contest and a +76-goal differential. England had five clean sheets in a row before Denmark broke that streak early in their semifinal game. That's a testament to this English defense, which has been great. I expect to see a close, low scoring game. I'll take Italy plus the half goal and lay the small price. Play Italy +.5 or +1/4 goals

It's the final of the 2020 EURO Futbal championship as Italy takes on England for the title. Home advantage here today to England as this game will be played in Wembley Stadium. Italy got here via a penalty shootout with Spain. England was tied with Denmark, 1-1 after regulation and that game too 120 minutes of play for England to come out on top, 2-1. England hasn't played in a major tournament final for 55 years. Italy bring a 33-game unbeaten streak into today's contest and a +76-goal differential. England had five clean sheets in a row before Denmark broke that streak early in their semifinal game. That's a testament to this English defense, which has been great. I see this game being tied at the end of regulation, possibly 0-0! I don't believe these two teams will put three goals on the board in regulation to get this game over. I will take the UNDER and look for a close, hard fought contest. PLAY UNDER.

The semifinals of Euro 2020 here has Denmark taking on England for the right to play Italy for the Championship. England has had an easy time getting to this point in the tournament and easily took care of the Ukraine in the quarterfinals. England is 4-0-1 in the tournament thus far. Denmark lost their opening match to Finland, but has risen to the cause since by scoring 10 goals over their last three matches. England has a huge advantage by playing at home here today. No wonder then why the line has Denmark at +4.15 on the money line. England has held their last three opponents to no goals and scored six times themselves. So this game will have the Denmark hot offense against this England defense. Denmark has the 2nd most goals in the tournament. Should be a great game and if Denmark can get a lead, they have a great chance to win. I'll take the Danes on the goal line at +.5 and +1.30. Play Denmark.

Two of the world's best meet here on Tuesday in the 2020 Euro semi-finals as Italy takes on Spain. The winner of this game will head to the Euro Finals. Italy had a huge win over the world's top ranked team in Belgium, 2-1. The Italians have now run their unbeaten streak to 32 games. Italy has one of the best defenses, evidenced by holding offensive powerhouse Belgium to just a single goal. You have to go back to 2018 vs Portugal for Italy's last loss. Meanwhile, it's been a bumpy road here for Spain. They had to go to extra time in the round of 16 to defeat Croatia and then penalty kicks in the round of eight. Spain finished the group play 1-0-2, having opened with two draws and then a win. That makes them 7-0-3 over their last 10 games while Italy is 10-0 in their last 10. This looks to be another nail biter, but Italy looks like a team determined to get to the finals. Play Italy.

Baku is the site for this Euro Championship matchup between Denmark and Czech Republic. Denmark fresh off their 4-0 win over Wales while the Czechs got here via their win over Netherlands, 2-0. The Czech's only loss thus far was to England, 0-1. Denmark lost their opening game to Finland in a emotional game that saw Christian Eriksen collapse on the field around halftime. Denmark then dropped their second game to Belgium. But a 4-1 win over Russia got them into the next round based on goal differentials. Denmark has now won their last two Euro games and is 5-4-1 overall their last 10 competitions. Meanwhile, the Czechs are 2-1-1 in Euro play and 5-3-2 in their last 10 overall. If Denmark can match their play they did vs Wales, this will be a win for them today. I believe the Danes are the better team at this point and that's who I will be on today. Play Denmark.

A pair of heavyweights go toe-to-toe here in the Elite 8 of the Euro 2020's as Italy takes on Belguim. Belgium is ranked the World's number one team and have not lost this year. Both teams are in great form with Belgium going 9-0-1 over their last 10 games and Italy at 10-0-0 in their last 10 games. Difficult game here with these two teams facing each other. I'm taking Italy only because Belgium is having some injury issues. I'll take the shot with Italy here today.

Ukraine can thank Sweden for their even being in the 16 knockout round. It was Sweden's later winner in Group E play last week that helped push this Ukraine squad into this round. Sweden has been in fine form with a 2-0-1 group round in the Euros and a 7-0-2 record their last nine overall matches. Can't say the same for this Ukraine squad. Not only were they lucky to get here but they were just 1-2 in the group round. They are 4-4-1 overall their last nine games. Sweden just playing too well for this Ukraine team to handle. I look for an easy Sweden win.

Belgium is the top rated team in the World and they proved it in the group stages with a perfect 3-0 record and also improved to 8-0-1 in their last nine overall competition matches. Portugal qualified behind France and Germany. This is a tough game here today. While Belgium is the best right now, they get a tough draw in a good Portugal team. Portugal was only 1-1-1 in their group stage. They are also 4-3-2 in their last nine overall games. Still, they have Cristiano Ronolado. Even if Portugal gets past Belgium here today, they still have France, Italy and Spain they will likely have to face. I'm taking Belgium here today as they have had the better overall form.

Italy is one of the favorites to win this year's Euro's after going through the group stage unbeaten. In fact the Italian team has now won 11 games in a row and an undefeated streak of 30 games. They will face an Austria team making it's first ever knockout stage appearance. Austria was 2-1 in the group play and they are 4-4-1 overall their last nine matches. Odds really stack against Austria here against this Italian powerhouse team. Line is a bit stiff, but Italy is the play here.

Wales and Denmark open the Knockout 16 play here on Saturday from Amstermam. Wales was second in group A play behind Italy. Denmark finished second to Belguim in Group B, despite losing their first two games. Wales lost to Italy in their final group match, 0-1. Denmark lost their opening game to Finland 0-1 and then to the top team in world, Belgium 1-2 before beating Russia 4-1 and advancing. Denmark became the first team in European Championship history to reach the knockout stage after having lost their first two group games. Denmark holds a 3-0 record in their last three competitions vs Wales. I'm taking the Denmark in this one.

Fine matchup here in the Final Group F meeting as France takes on Portugal. Reigning European Champion Portugal takes on 2016 runner up France here today. Portugal are not in the top two of the Group after a loss to Germany 2-4. Meanwhile, France is the top team in the group despite a 1-1 draw with Hungary. Portugal is 1-1 in their two Euro matches and 4-2-2 in their last eight matches overall. France is 1-0-1 in their two Euro games and 6-0-2 overall their last eight games. I'm taking France here today as they have been the better team of late. Portugal has the goal scoring power of Ronaldo, yet they will need some help if they lose here today. Play France.

Euro 2020 continues here on Tuesday in group D action. Both Scotland and Croatia have one point apiece thus far. Croatia had a 1-1 draw against the Czech Republic while Scotland had a scoreless draw against England. Croatia needs win here today against Scotland and a England win over the Czech Republic if they hope to advance. Scotland still looking to score a goal in the Euro 2020. They have a loss and Draw thus far. Croatis has under-performed, but with their collective backs against the wall I look for them to come out on top here today. Play Croatia.

Match of past champions here in the 2020 Euros as 2018 World Cup Champ France takes on 2014 World Cup Champions Germany. Germany comes into this game with a 3-1-2 record in all competitions and France is 5-0-1 their last six in all competitions. France one of the best defensive teams in the World and that should be on display here today. Yes, this German team is formidable, but they are not the force they once were. This game looks to be low scoring and I believe the first goal could be the winning goal. Take UNDER.

Euro 2020 Campaign here on Saturday has Belguim taking on Russia. Belgium the favorite to win it all as they garnered all 30 points of 30 possible in the qualifications. This is Begium's first appearance at the Euros since 2000 and they expect to go all the way this year. Russia has been no slouch either, going 3-2-1 over their last six games in all matches. The last time these two teams met on the pitch resulted in a 3-3 tie during the 2017 friendlies. Belgium should take this game, the only question is the score. I'm taking the OVER and if we get one goal out of Russia we should get the win. Play OVER.

This tune-up game for the European Championships in mid-June finds both Denmark and Germany set to work on parts of their game that will improve them moving forward. Denmark comes into this game in fine form, winning three World Cup Qualifiers in a row and scoring 14 goals in process. They beat Austria 4-0 and Moldova, 8-0. Germany is 3-2-1 over their last six games in all competitions. Denmark playing fine football but Germany needs a win here more to raise their credentials as they get ready for the European Championships. Play Germany

Chelsea has looked forward to welcoming Arsenal back to the Stamford Bridge after losing to the Gunners early in the Premier League. A huge win over Manchester City all but assure them an all important 4th place finish. Arsenal still has an outside shot at 4th place after a win over West Brom, 3-1. Chelsea is now 4-1-1 in their last six Premier league matches while Arsenal is 3-2-1. These teams know each other very well, meeting over 200 times in their storied rivalry. I expect Chelsea to avenge that earlier loss this season. Play Chelsea.

Semi-final action here tonight in the Champions League has Chelsea hosting Real Madrid. Both teams coming off respective wins, Chelsea over Fulham and Real Madrid over Osasuna. Chelsea is 3-1-2 in its last six Champion League matches and all competitions. Meanwhile, Madrid is 4-0-2 over their last six Champion League matches. Two good defensive teams here but edge goes to Chelsea as the Madrid side a bit depleted. Offense edge to Chelsea too. Your play is on Chelsea today.

The lone game on the England Premier League here today has Leicester City taking on Southampton. Leicester City beat Southampton in the FA Cup Semi-finals just under two weeks ago, 1-0. Leicester City is now 4-2 over their last six in Premier League while Southampton is 2-4. Leicester City has done well on the road, only Manchester City has more points on the road this season. This looks to be another shutout win by City today. Take Leicester City.

First leg of the Champions League Semi-finals showdown here today. Chelsea survived to advance with a 2-1 win over Porto while Chelsea with a 3-1 win over Liverpool in the quarterfinals. Real Madrid is 4-1-1 in their Champion's League form while Chelsea is also 4-1-1. This looks to be another low scoring affair and I won't be surprised by a goalless stalemate here today. Lots of defense on display here today. Play UNDER.

Chelsea is back in the top four of the Premier league after a scoreless game against Brighton & Hove last Tuesday. West Ham United is now 5th in the table. Chelsea is 3-1-2 in their recent Premier League form and 3-2-1 in all competitions. West Ham is 3-2-1 over their last six Premier League matches. West Ham is facing a lot of injuries and possible suspensions as they enter play here today. I'll take Chelsea here today.

Arsenal and Everton meet here on Friday in Premier League Action. Arsenal are sitting in 9th place in the league, three points behind Everton. Everton has a four-game unbeaten streak heading into today's game. Everton has a semifinal date in the Europa League next week with Villareal. Arsenal is coming off a 1-1 draw with Fulham. Arsenal is just 2-1-3 in their last six Premier league games while Everton is 1-3-2 their last six. Everton has done well on the road though with nine wins in their 15 away Premier League games. I like the visitor in this one too. Play Everton.

Leicester City had a successful FA Cup appearance and now hopes that success will come over to the English Premier League. Leicester City won its first FA Cup in 52 years and now turn back to Premier League where they hold a 2-point lead for fifth place over Chelsea. Leicester City has not done real well in recent Premier league action with a 2-3-1 record compared to that of West Brom who is 3-2-1. Leicester City have dropped their last two Premier League games and that pressure is on here today. I like the FA Cup Champions who have some momentum to build on. Play Leicester City.

The second of the FA Cup semifinals here tonight at Wembley stadium. Leicester City is in the top four of the Premier league and sitting very nicely there. Southampton has nothing other than this FA Cup for the rest of the season. Leicester City is 4-0 in their last four FA Cup games and 3-2-1 in overall competitions. Southampton is also 4-0 in their last four FA Cup matches and 3-3 in their last six overall. Leicester City a small dog here on the money line and I like that since they are the better team of late. They have lost two straight to Southampton in FA cup action and I see that stopping here. Play Leicester City.

FA Cup semi finals here today from Wembley Stadium has Manchester City taking on Chelsea. Chelsea lost in last year's FA Cup final to Arsenal as they look to get there again this year. The mountain is tall as they play the best team in England and one of the best in the world in Manchester City. Both teams have looked very good in recent form going 4-0 in FA Cup with Chelsea 4-2 overall and Manchester City 5-1 overall in their last six matches. These teams are both playing very well so picking a side is tough here. For me, I'm looking for a hard fought match with maybe even a clean sheet on one side or the other. Play the UNDER.

Manchester City can move into the semi-finals with a win today over Dortmund. Manchester City has been in fine form, going 5-1 last six over all competitions and 5-0-1 in Champions League play. Dortmund meanwhils is just 2-2-2 over their last six overall and 3-1-2 their last six Champions league play. This should be a good game and a close one, but City is likely the team to beat in this Champions league and I will stick with them here and a small money line play. Play Manchester City.

The Arsenal gunners looking to snap a four game streak in which they haven't won a game, will make the trip to play Sheffield United here today. They will have a great chance today playing a United team that is the lowest scoring team in the Premier league. United has has just 17 goals in 30 matches. Sheffield is 1-5 over their last six matches while Arsenal is 2-3-2. Neither team in great form here today, but this is the spot that Arsenal needs to get back in the win column. Play Arsenal.

Manchester City best team this league by far in the Premier league as they have that all but wrapped-up. Now they have their eyes set on their first-ever Champions League title. They have not lost in 16 games and are coming off a easy win over Borussia Monchengladbach, 4-0. Conversely, Dortmund has struggled, with just one win in their last four and that was against a poor Hertha Berlin squad. For me this is an easy one, lay the 1 1/2 goals with a much better Manchester team and enjoy your win.

Hungary makes the trip here today to San Marino for this World Cup Qualifier. Hungary looking for their first victory in group play is the heavy favorite over the host. San Marino is at the bottom of the FIFA World Rankings in 210th place. They lost to England last time out, 0-5, though they went under the 7.5 point total. Hungary is coming off a draw with Poland, 3-3 last Thursday. Hungary was hoping for a win, leading twice in the game, the last with just 12 minutes to play. Hungary has faced San Marino four times, winning all four by a combined 19-0 margin. The total comes in around 4 in this game and that's very low for a team like San Marino that gives up lots of goals. We likely need Hungary to get this game over by themselves, but I think they can do it. Play OVER.

Both these clubs looking for back-to-back wins as they play this World Cup Qualifier on Sunday. Romania pulled out a dramatic win over North Macedonia, 3-2. Germany scored early to put their game away against Iceland, 3-0. Romania is now 4-2-1 over their last seven games. Germany is 5-1-1 over their last seven games. Romania has now scored 11 goals in their last three home games. I expect they will score here on Sunday and I know Germany will. I'm taking the OVER.

These teams meet for the first time since 2017 when Chile won in a World Cup Qualifier, 1-0. Chile one of the leading teams with the quality of their players. However, they didn't look like it much with 1 win a draw and a pair of loss. Chile shouldn't have any issues finding the back of the net here today against a much weaker Bolivian squad. Bolivia is 1-4-1 over their last six games, scoring 9 goals in that span. Chile is 2-2-2 in their last six games with 9 goals over that span. Chile has the talent to get two or more goals here today. If we can get one goal out of Bolivia, this game should get the over. That's my play here today in this matchup, OVER!

International Friendly match here on Thursday has Jamaica taking on the USA. These squads going in a bit different direction as Jamaica is rebuilding while the USA seems to be at their peak right now. The USA team has scored 22 goals over their last five games and look to be primed here today. Jamaica has been slightly less successful with just 12 goals over their last five games. One thing about Intl Friendly games, the VAR is usually off for these games so a goal scored usually stands with no VAR to review. I'm going to take the OVER here with a USA team that should get us some decent goals. Play OVER.

Ireland comes into today's qualifier winning just one of the last 11 games across all competitions. Serbia is the Irish main rivals in this group. Serbia isn't exactly thrilling anyone this year either, having won just two times in their last 11 games. Serbia has been involved in back-to-back goalless draws vs Coasta Rica and Dominican Republic. This games looks to be another one where the scoreboard won't get much use. Play UNDER.

Round of 16 action here in the UEFA Champions League. The Italian team, Lazio, is coming off a 1-4 home loss in their first leg. Bayern looks to have this Champions League wrapped-up, going 3-0 in their matches in a very dominatnt way. They have beaten Kohn 5-1, Borussio Dortmund 4-2 and Werder Bremen, 3-1. Lazio has lost its last two games to Bologna, 2-0 and Juventus 1-3. The team is in 7th place. Bayern looks to use Lazio as just another of its fodder here en route to their Champions League title. Take Bayern Munich on the Goal Line -1 1/2 goals.

Round of 16 action here in the UEFA Champions League. The Italian team, Lazio, is coming off a 1-4 home loss in their first leg. Bayern looks to have this Champions League wrapped-up, going 3-0 in their matches in a very dominatnt way. They have beaten Kohn 5-1, Borussio Dortmund 4-2 and Werder Bremen, 3-1. Lazio has lost its last two games to Bologna, 2-0 and Juventus 1-3. The team is in 7th place. Bayern looks to use Lazio as just another of its fodder here en route to their Champions League title. Bayner should easily score three or more goals here today. IF we can get one out of Lazio, this game should go over. Play OVER.

Atalanta from the Italian Series A league is a fast paced team that lends itself to overs. Real Madrid is also a good scoring team. Madrid, the Spanish Champions, enter this game off a win over Elche in La Liga, 2-1. Atalanta has been off since last Friday so they have had some time to rest and prepare for this matchup. They won that game last Friday over Spezia, 3-1. Atalanta has won its last five away games in the Champion's league. They visit Madrid here today for the first time ever, only have played Real Madrid just once in their history. Should be a great matchup here today. I won't pick a side, but I'll be on the OVER.

Barcelona looking to rebound from their 1-4 defeat in the first leg of this EUFA Champions league. PSG, the French Champion, lost last time on their home pitch, a 0-2 defeat to their rivals, Monaco. PSG has not lost back-to-back home games since 2009. The had won six league games prior to that setback to Monaco. Barcelona comes into this contest with four consecutive wins across all competitions. While this will be an excellent match, can't see PSG losing again at home. Play Paris St German.

EUFA Champions League action here on Tuesday has Sevilla taking on Borussia Dortmund. Sevilla enters today's play in 4th place in the Spain's La Liga and have lost four of their last five games. They take on the German team of Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund held a 2-0 lead over one of the world's premier teams in Bayern Munich but couldn't hold on for the win. Hard for me to be on the Spain side here the way they have played and now playing in Germany. Dortmund has been the better of the two teams and I expect them to move on to the quarterfinals. Play Borussia Dortmund.

Crotone looks like they could be easily be facing relegation as they are at the bottom of the Italy Series A Standings. Atalanta has been in fine form, going 4-1-1 in Series A and 4-1-1 in all competitions. Last time these teams met was a Atalanta blowout win, 5-1. No hope here today for Crotone. In fact I'm not sure they can even score a goal in this one. The total is 3.0 and I know Atalanta can get that over all by themselves if they have the motivation. I'm going to take a chance that the hosts won't be looking past today's fodder and will want to keep their good form going. Play the OVER.

 Manchester City can extend its winning streak to 21 games when they host Wolverhampton here on Tuesday. Manchester City is the top team in the English Premier League. Woverhampton has played better in February after a rocky December and January. This game looks to be no trouble for the best team in soccer right now. For me, I won't lay the big prices with Manchester City. However, I am going to play the total here today. City should get at least 3 goals in this one and that alone would get us the over. But I expect something from Wolverhampton also. I'm playing over in this matchup and won't be surprised if they go over in the first half. Play OVER.

UEFA Champion League action here today has Juventus taking on FC Porto. Porto, from the Portuguese league, has drawn their last four matches. Today they have to take on one of the giants in the Italian Series A division in Juventus. The Italian team has lost its last two games, including last weekend's setback to Napoli, 0-1. Don't let those two losses dissuade you though, they are the only two losses over their last 13 games in all competitions. Neither team has been in good form, but Juventus has been excellent in the Champion's league. This one looks to be lower scoring as I see Juventus getting the win. Play Juventus.

Italian Series A action here today as Bologna hosts Benevento. Both sides are fairly equal with both have 23 points in Series A action this year. Bologna is coming off a home win over Parma, 3-0. Bologna has had the better form of late with a 2-3 record their last five compared to Benevento's 0-3-2 record. Both clubs are in need of crucial points here today so I expect a good game with lots of scoring opportunities. I'm looking for at least four games in this game. Therefore, take the OVER.

FA Cup action here today has Barnsley hosting Chelsea. Barnsley is coming off a 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest last Saturday in the EFL Championship. Chelsea is coming off over Sheffield United, 2-1, in the English Premier League. These teams last met last year in the 3rd round of the EFL Cup with Chelsea pounding Barnsley, 6-0. Barnsley has played well in the EFL, but have struggled of late. Chelsea has been in fine form and I expect Chelsea to get at least two goals here if not more. I'm taking the OVER.

These two teams resume their bitter rivalry here today at Turin. Juventus coming off a pretty easy win over SPAL, 4-0. Juventus has won four of their last five matches. Inter Milan has played eight straight away games where both sides have scored at least a goal. Juventus does boast the world's arguably best player in Cristiano Ronaldo who has 25 goals for the club this season. On the other side is Romelu Lukaku who has also scored 25 goals. Juventus hosting this game here today and I expect both teams to get on the scoreboard in this one. I'm going to take the OVER and enjoy the game. Play OVER.

Fulham in desperate need of a win here on Saturday as they host West Ham to Craven Cottage. Fulham has gone 11 games without a win compared to seven wins in the last eight games for West Ham. Fulham is coming off a loss to Leicester City, 0-2 and time is running out for Fulham to stay above relegation. Fulham has won a league low two games this campaign, though they have drawn on a regular basis. West Ham coming off a win over Aston Villa, 3-1. West Ham now 5th in the Premier League standings. They have their sights set on a European Spot as they trail 4th place Liverpool by just two points for 4th and that spot. Fulham may not be winning but they have proven difficult to beat. Coupled with West Ham's troubles on the road and this looks to be a close contest. For me though, I'm playing the UNDER.

 Both these clubs looking to bounce back after defeats in their last games. The Southampton Saints beaten by Arsenal, 1-3. Aston losing their last game to Burnley, 2-3. Southampton also fighting a long injury list that will come into play here on Saturday. Both these teams are evenly matched and difficult to pick a winner. I like this game in a 1-1 draw and therefore taking the UNDER.

Aston Villa plays just its second game after a long layoff. Aston is coming off a win in their first game back. Now they get to polay a Newcastle United team that has struggled to score goals. Aston took both games from Newcastle last season. Newcastle could face delegation if this drought continues and that means HC Steve Bruce might be in trouble soon. Newcastle has lost four straight games since mid-Decmeber. In addition they have just one goal over their last 650 minutes of action. Don't expect many goals in this game, but I'll be backing the home team here today. Take Aston Villa.

USA finally hit the turf for a real game last week at Wales. It had been a long time since the squad had been in a actual game and the rust was appearant, at least on the offensive side as they ended in a 0-0 draw with Wales. The last time these teams met was on June 26, 201 with the USA taking the game at home, 1-0. The last four games for Panama have resulted in either 1-0 contests, 0-0 against Guatamal or a 2-0 win over Guatamala. The USA had some chances to score against Wales, but couldn't finish them off, likely a result of such a long layoff. I expect the USA to get at least one goal today, but not really anything from Panama. Take the USA as they finally get on the scoreboard. USA -1, -1.16          

Marquee matchup here in the Champions League for Wednesday as Barcelona takes on Juventus. Looks like Juventus will be once again without superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who is awaiting further testing after a positive Covid test. Both teams won their opening games of the Champions League. Barcelona will be without some key gogs here on defense today including Coutinho, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Gerard Pique. Even without their superstar, Juventus has more talent up and down the lineup here. I'm going to take the Italian team in this one. Play Juventus.

EFL Championship play here on Wednesday as Nottingham takes on Luton Town. Luton won their last game, a 1-0 victory at Sheffield. Nottingham came away with a draw in their last contest 1-1 with Derby County. Luton will be without James Collins, forced to sitout with Covid positive test result. Nottingham is facing the real prospect of relegation as they sit just one-point above that line at present. These teams are fairly even, but for me I'm giving the edge here to the hosts. At +2.30 on the money line, the host is worth a play here today. Play Luton Town.

Premier League Champion Chelsea makes the road trip to Russia here today to take on Krasnodar in the Champions League play. Krasnodar finished third in their Russian Premier league last season. This year the host is just in 8th place as they off to a slow start. Krasnodar is coming off a 1-1 draw and now undefeated in their three Champions League games. Chelsea coming off a 0-0 draw against Manchester United. Five of their last seven games have resulted in draws. Their alignment against United was great at keeping Manchester off the board, but also blunted their own attack. Chelsea the big favorite here, but they have not played up to standards of late. I'm looking for a low scoring contest here on Wednesday. PLAY UNDER.

This was going to be a tough, close game anyways as Juventus and Dynamo Kiev meet here today in Kiev for the UEFA Champion's Leuge. But now it gets even tougher for this Juventus team. Juventus begins thier quest for a Champions League trophy without arguably the best player in the world in Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo has had to self isolate back in Itay after testing positive for Covid. This is bad news for Juventus as Kiev will give them all they can handle. This has changed the perspective on this contest for the total. What normally might be high scoring, looks to be low scoring now. Play UNDER

UEFA Champion's League final here today and it's a good one with powerhouse Bayern Munich taking on Paris Saint Germain. For me, I've been a huge backer of this German squad all year and have played them at every occasion. PSG is very good and while I expect a closer match then most of the time for Bayern, I still won't deviate from playing a team that has made me money all season. In addition, you don't get Bayern at even money or a slight dog very often, so you better jump on it. I'm sticking with Bayern Munich here on Sunday.

One of the two finals here in the UEFA Europa Champion's League. This should be a great matchup as La Liga's Seville is no stranger to winning this Champion's League. They have done so all five times they have reached the finals with the last in 2016. But what I love here is the UNDER. These are both great defensive clubs. Sevilla has allowed just one goal in their last six matches. Not to be outdone. Inter Milan has conceded just one goal over their last seven. This is an easy pick for me, I'm taking UNDER 2 1/2 goals.

Semi-Final action here in the UEFA Champion's League as Paris Saint Germain takes on RB Leipzig. Leipzig beat Atletic Madrid late to secure their spot here in the Semis. PSG also got by Italian Series A powerhouse Atalanta to get here. The winner here will have the difficult task in the finals of meeting up with Bayern Munich. PSG showed in the 2nd half of their game against the Italians that they were the better team. And if we look who will be the better team to face Bayern, that will be Leipzig which didn't loser to Munich in their two matches that both ended in draws (0-0 and 1-1). This should be a great matchup, but for me, the edge goes to Germans. They played the better team and won in the quarterfinals and I believe they can give Bayern Munich a run for its money. Take RB Leipzig +1/2 goal (+120).

Semi Final action here on Sunday in the UEFA Europa League as Manchester United and Sevilla matchup. Sevilla has won five straight EUROPA matches as they face arguably their best opponent thus far in United. Sevilla is unbeaten in their last 19 games dating back to February. Manchester United has lost just once in their last 24 matches. Manchester has had the more difficult road to this point with tough matches compared to those of Sevilla. I expect a close, tough match here on Sunday. However, I feel Sevilla has more left in the tank at this point compared to Manchester United. Definitely a possible draw outcome here, but I like the 2-1 value I get with Sevilla on the money line. I'll take Sevilla in this one.

Winner of this match between Lyon and Manchester City will advance to the Semifinals of the Champion's League. Manchester City is coming off a win over La Liga Champion Real Madrid. Lyon upended Italian Series A champion, Juventus. The winner of this game has the unenviable task of taking on Bayern Munich next week. City finished second in the Premier league and exited at the semi-final stage in the FA Cup. City has now won six of their last seven overall matches. Most impressive is that they have allowed just four goals during those six games. Both these teams coming off impressive wins. Still, City has much more pedigree coming into this one then the French side does. Lyon finished 7th in Ligue 1 and had lost four consecutive matches from the end of the break to the start. I'm impressed most with the City defense. I'm taking this one to go UNDER.

Hard to find a better team these days then Bayern Munich. Munich has won every game since the restart and have won their last 18 overall matches. This looks to be the marquee matchup of the quarterfinals in the Champion's League. Barcelona finished five points back of La Liga Champion Real Madrid. However, they have not looked as sharp this year as in past seasons. Munich has also been a scoring machine, with 31 goals in their eight games. I'm really a bit shocked at the low price here on the best team. I'm not passing on this gift Take Bayern Munich.

The Winner of this match advances to the semi-finals of the Europa Championship. This is the second appearance every for Leipzig in the UEFA Champions league and here they are facing ATletico Madrid for their chance at the Semis. Madrid has an impressive resume coming in here, having beaten Liverpool 1-0 and 3-2 to advance to this spot. Liverpool was one of the favorites and they beat them. Leipzig's only loss in their last six games came to Dortmund, 0-2. These two teams are both in good form and very equal across the board. The only thing that separates them in my opinion is experience and that goes to Madrid. Madrid has been to the quarterfinals five times in the last seven seasons, while this is fairly new ground for Leipzig. Take Atelico Madrid.

This should be a wild game as the highest scoring team from the Italy Series A and French league's matchup here on Wednesday. Atalanta broke scoring records in Series A play with 96 goals. Paris Saint German (PSG) were Ligue 1 champions in a shortened season. The French champs have won their last five games. First ever meeting between these clubs today. PSG will be without some key players due to injuries and suspensions. I look for plenty of goals in this one. Take the OVER

Europa League Quarter-finals has Sevilla vs Wolverhampton. Wolverhampton Wanderers finished 7th in the English Premier league, their second season back at the top tier. They are coming off a win over Olympiakos, 1-0 to advance to today's contest. This is a defense first team and not very flashy in their style of play. Sevilla looked very good in their win over a very good Roma team, 2-0. This game looks to be a tough defensive battle today so I'll go UNDER.

UEFA Europa League action here on Monday has Bayern Leverkusen vs Inter Milan. Inter Milan comes into this game having won their round of 16 game over Getafe, 2-0. Milan finished second in the Series A league, just one point behind Champion Juventus. Milan extended their win streak to four and unbeaten streak to nine. Bayern plays in their first European quarterfinals since 2002. Bayern finished fifth in the Bundesliga league. Even though this game is being played on German soil, no fans pretty much negates that advantage. I'm taking Inter Milan here today.

Champions League action here on Friday has Manchester City hosting Real Madrid. Look for Madrid to put the pressure on City here as they need at least two scores to hope to advance. That will mean taking more chances which also will translate into counter attacks by City. Manchester City has also looked pretty flat against the better teams this year. For me, I like this game over as Madrid has to push the pace. Play OVER.

Last game for both of these teams as Series A comes to an end here on Sunday. Genoa still has something to play for as they hope to secure a spot in Series A and not rely on a loss by Lecce. Hellas Verona coming off a shutout win over SPAL 3-0. They are now 4 wins, 5 loss and 8 draws in their last 17 Series A matches. Genoa coming off a 0-5 drubbing at the hands of Sassuolo. Relegation is a possibility for Genoa so why put that into the hands of another game. Easier said then done I'm affraid. Genoa has been in terrible form and while they are in a must win, Verona is not and I don't like to put a bad team in a must win. Take Hellas Verona.

Juventus has locked-up another Series A title. Now they hope to continue their dominance at home where they have won 16 games this year and two draws with no losses. Juve has arguably the best player in the world in Cristiano Ronaldo. However, he's behind Ciro Immobile in goals 31-35. My issue with Juve here is that they are in cruise control since winning the title. They have won just twice in their last seven games. They are coming off a loss to Cagliari, 0-2. Still, this team hasn't lost on home soil in 39 straight Series A matches. Roma is stuck in 5th place and that means no Champion's league spot since they trail 4th place Lazio by 11 points with just one game to play. Roma has played well, winning six of their last seven with a draw. Nothing on the line here for either team, but Juve would like to keep that home winning streak. I'll take the home team here on Saturday. Play Juventus

The English Championship Semi-Finals continue here as Cardiff and Fulham meet again. Fulham won the first leg of this playoff semi with a 2-0 shutout over Cardiff. Cardiff has done well on the road, winning four of the last five. Fulham has done well at home too, third best in the Championship. Fulham has taken the last two meetings at home over Cardiff. Tough spot here for the visitor having to rebound after a home loss to the same team. I don't expect much other income than we saw recently and that's a Fulham shutout again. Take Fulham - 1/2 goal.

Torino coming off a 1-1 draw to the worst team in Series A, SPAL. Roma coming off a win over Fiorentina, 2-1 and now sit fifth in the table. They are battling with Napoli and Milan for that fifth spot in the table. Roma has been in fine form with 5 wins and 1 draw in their last six games.  Torino has been very dependent on star player Andrea Belotti to get them goals. Roma shuts down Belotti and they win this one easily. Roma has won 15 of the 24 matches with Torino. Take Roma -1 goal.

AC Milan still fighting for a spot in the Europa League so don't expect any letdown today as they play at Sampdoria. Milan are fighting with Napoli and AS Roma for that fifth place in the Series A table. Sampdoria not having a good season as it sits 15th in the table. They have also lost their last two matches while Milan is undefeated in their last five. Take Milan -1 goal here on Wednesday.

20th place SPAL travels to play at 9th place Hellas Verona here on Wednesday. SPAL has won just three of their last 18 away games. Verona got pummeled last time out, losing 1-5 to Lazio. SPAL will be missing a lot of players here with Bonifazi suspended and five others missing due to injury. Neither team is very good, but SPAL has only 20 points out of a possible 108 this year. I'll take the home team in this one.

Inter Milan hosting its last game of the summer here on home turf. They face a Napoli team that is coming off a 2-0 win over Sassulo. However, Napoli got quite lucky as four Sassulo goals were overturned via VAR due to offsides. Milan beat Genoa over the weekend 3-0 and have secured a Champion's league return. Napoli has struggled on the road, collecting just four points in their last four Series A road games. Milan sits in second place in the table, just one point ahead of third place Atalanta (who is also in action today). Milan is also undefeated in their last six Series A contests. There should be plenty of goals in this game, but I'm backing the home club here. Play Inter Milan - 1/2 goals.

Semifinals of the England Championship League here on Monday has Fulham playing at Cardiff. Both teams looking to get back into the Premier league and this is the starting point. A win today pushes one team a step closer to the Premier league. Both teams in good form with Fullham not having lost in their last seven matches. Cardiff has been decent too with a 4-2-0 record their last six matches. These teams have been scoring well too, especially when they meet. These teams are both healthy and both evenly matched. Too close to call a winner here, but I look for both clubs to score and get over this total. Play OVER.

Italy Series A action here on Sunday has Sampdoria at Juventus. Juventus looks to rebound after a tough loss to Udinese, 1-2. The season is winding down for Juventus as they look for another Series A title. Juventus boasts the best player in the world in Cristiano Ronaldo. Juventus has not been all that good of late, going 1-4 in their last five games. Sampdoria is clear of relegation and good thing as they haven't fared well vs the top teams in the table. Still Juventus needs to improve on their recent form here today. Play Juventus -1 1/2 goals.

 Roma has seen good scoring in their games, evidenced by going over 2.5 goals in each of their last six Series A matches. They have also scored at least two goals in those matches. They will need to score and often here against a Fiorentina squad that are undefeated in their last six Series A matches. Roma can take solid hold of sixth place in the table with a win here on Sunday. Fiorentina has nothing to really play for as they are stuck at the bottom. If the visitor had anything to play for I'd likely be on the over here. However, with little on the line, I'm taking Roma -1 goal.

This is what I call a matchup of the penthouse vs the outhouse. Inter Milan can win it's third game in the last five as they play at Genoa here on Saturday. Inter Milan at the top of the Series A table, while Genoa at the bottom. Milan needs a win here to jump into 2nd and keep Atalanta at bay. Genoa could be in for a letdown here today as they com off a big win over Sampdoria. They are one point above the relegation line. Milan beat Genoa last time they met, 4-0. Milan just has a bit too much for the home team here on Saturday. I look for a Milan clean sheet in this one as they cover the -1 goal. take Milan -1 goal.

Final day of the England Championship league here and the stakes are high for West Brom. West Brom can ensure automatic promotion with a win over visiting Queens Park Rangers (QPR) here on Wednesday. QPR is 14th in the table and has nothing to play for here on the last day. With so much on the line here for the home club I look for a West Brom WIN! Play West Brom on the goal line - 1 1/2 goals

Last day of the season for these teams as Swansea City takes on Reading. Swansea coming off a win over Bristol City, 1-0. Yet, they still face a must win here on Thursday to keep their promotion hopes alive. Not much for Reading to play for here after back-to-back losses to Middlesbrough and Blackburn. They are stuck in the middle of the table and that's where they will stay. Swansea has won six of the last 10 matches with Reading with four of them ending in a draw. Much more at stake here for the visitor. I'm taking Swansea City.

Last day of the England Championship league here on Wednesday as Barnsley takes on Brentford. Brentford looking for automatic promotion with a win here today. Also here today Brentford playing their last home game at this site, someplace they have played for 116 years before moving next season. Brentford won the last meeting between these clubs, 3-1. Brentford is the leading scoring team in the league with 79 goals. They also have three players in the top 10 in scoring. Take Brentford here on Wednesday - 1 1/2 goals.

Brentford is the leading scoring team in the league with 79 goals. They also have three players in the top 10 in scoring. Just a 2 1/2 total on this one with the highest scoring team in the league. Looks like an over to me here on Wednesday. 

Two of the hotter Series A teams meet here on Tuesday as AS Milan take on Sassuolo. Sassuolo finally lost in a 1-4 contest to Atalanta after going on a run of eight games without a loss (4 wins, 4 draws). They still trail today's opponent, Milan, by eight points with four games to play. Milan has also been very good, not losing in their last eight matches. Biggest difference is that Milan has dominated this series, winning five of the last seven matches with Sassuolo. They have not lost to the host since 2016. Too much on the side of Milan here on Tuesday. I look for a easy win by the visitors. Play AC Milan on the money line.

With both teams in good form I look for a lot of goals in this contest. Take the OVER.

High scoring Atalanta is coming off a lackluster performance against Verona in a 1-1 draw. They can still finish the Series A season in the top two, but that requires winning and now drawing. Meanwhile, Bologna is coming off a blowout loss to Milan, 1-5. They have now lost four straight games. Their shaky defense will be put to the test here today against this very good Atalanta offense. Last time these clubs met it was a 4-1 Atalanta win and that's pretty much what I expect again here today. Take Atalanta on the goal line.

A win here on Monday by Juventus should just about put the finishing touches on another Series A title. Meanwhile, any chances Lazio has of a Series A title really rest on a win here today. Juventus leads Lazio by seven points in the table. Though they have drawn their last two games and lost three games ago. They look for their first win in the last four. Same for Lazio, they have a draw and three losses in their last four matches. Problem here today for Lazio is they will be without some key players and are showing some fatigue down the stretch. The Lazio defense has also struggled of late and I don't expect it to get any better here on Monday against the high powered Juventus club.  I expect at least three goals in this contest so take the OVER.

I'm taking the home team here as they just about put the finishing touches on a Series A Title. Take Juventus.

Inter Milan still has a chance of catching table leader Juventus at the top of Series A, but it's a long shot. Sunday they play at 5th place Roma. Milan tails Juventus by six points. Roma is 23-10 in Series A and has won each of their last three league matches. Their most recent win came over Verona, 2-1 last Wednesday. Milan coming off a shutout win over SPAL, 4-0 last Thursday. Roma is a good enough team here to stay in this contest and if we take them plus the half goal we can draw and still win. Take Roma +1/2 goal.

Udinese looks to put some distance between themselves and that dreaded relegation line as they travel to Stadio San Paolo today for a match with Napoli. The visitors have just one win in their last four matches and stand just two spots above that relegation line. Meanwhile, Napoli has not lost at home in their last seven matches. Though they did play to a 2-2 draw in their last match against AC Milan. Napoli has scored at least two goals in each of their last six home Series A matches. This is the spot for Napoli to get off that two draw string they have had lately and get some momentum back under themselves. Take OVER 2 1/2 goals

This is the spot for Napoli to get off that two draw string they have had lately and get some momentum back under themselves. Take Napoli -1 goal.

AC Milan has had their way with the visitors, winning seven of the last eight matches with Bologna. Milan has also been very good at scoring goals, with at least two goals in seven of their last eight matches. They have also gone over in 2.5 goals in their last five Series A matches. Bologna has not been  bad at scoring either, with at least two goals in five of their last six Series A away contests. Milan coming off a 3-1 home win over Parma. Meanwhile, Bologna had a draw in midweek with Napoli. I like the home team in this one. Take AC Milan -1 goal.

Hellas Verona looks to get back on the winning track here on Saturday after four straight losses. Won't be easy against the high scoring Atalanta club here. The visitor has moved into 2nd place in the table. With five games to play Atalanta trails first place Juventus by seven points. Meanwhile, Verona sits ninth in the table, but could finish as good as sixth place. Atalanta is coming off a six goal performance over Brescia. I look for another Atalanta blowout here on Saturday. take the OVER
