Barcelona vs Manchester United - Match Preview

Barcelona vs Manchester United – Match Preview Manchester United take on Barcelona as part of their pre – season tour of the USA this Wednesday evening in Maryland, (Thursday morning 12.30am BST). Currently top of the table in the International Champions Cup, the Red Devil’s have so far been in good form with victories over rivals, Manchester City, and a penalty shoot-out win over current European Champions, Real Madrid.  And hopefully this will progress to there domestic level when the Premier League begins in August.

Barcelona have played just the once so far and gained a win over Juventus as Brazilian forward, Neymar, scored a brace in the 2-1 win. Currently 3rd with 3 points, Barcelona will hope to end the tournament as winners to end a successive pre – season.

Barcelona trio, Messi, Suarez and Neymar have all been included in the squad and could all feature together. New manager, Ernesto Valverde, will be able to test out new formations and tactics as he looks to build on the win over Juventus on the weekend.

Manchester United will be without Ander Herrera, who suffered an injury in the penalty shoot-out win over Real Madrid. Fellow Spaniard, Juan Mata, is also likely to miss out since injuring himself in the game against Real Salt Lake. New signing Romelu Lukaku and french forward, Anthony Martial, look set to start against the Catalan side.

With both sides possessing huge attacking strengths and vulnerabilities in defence, over 2.5 goals looks a safe bet and even a small wager on both teams to score in both halves. With the likes of Rashford, Lukaku, Messi and Suarez, the FedEx Field crowd of a possible 82,000 could be in for a real treat.

PDC World Matchplay 2017 - 2nd Round - Darts Preview

PDC World Matchplay 2017 – 2nd Round – Darts Preview  After an enticing first round of rather remarkable darts from the PDC’s biggest names, the second round will kick off with just as many mouth-watering fixtures.

In the biggest shock of the opening round, Alan Norris overcame the big Belgian Kim Huybrechts in a head-spinning match of darts. The Englishman went 3-0 down to win eight straight legs to give Huybrechts too big a mountain to climb to recover the match, resulting in a crushing first round exit for the world number 12. Norris will now face world number 5, Dave Chisnall who should have too much scoring power for Norris to deal with.

Dutchman, Jelle Klassen, continued his torrid year with a first-round exit after a 5-10 loss to Justin Pipe. Klassen has been haunted with injury and has only just returned to the oche, however, the break has clearly affected his game. Pipe played extremely well to capitalise on Klassen’s weaknesses and has deserved his spot in the next round. Pipe will now face the PDC’s dark horse, Mensur Suljovic. Suljovic has had a fine season so far and should continue in this fashion.

Skybet To Reach the Final – Mensur Suljovic – 7/1

World number one Michael van Gerwen began his World Matchplay campaign with a routine victory over Stephen Bunting. The Dutchman won the first seven sets and then went into cruise control to see the match out. ‘MvG’ will now face Australian, Simon Whitlock, who beat his fellow countryman Kyle Anderson. Whitlock is a long-standing darts player but won’t be able to cope with van Gerwen’s quality in this second-round match.

Phil Taylor Photo Credit: skysports.com

The match that has caught everyone’s attention is Phil Taylor vs Raymond van Barneveld, or more commonly referred to as ‘El Classico’. The two have dominated darts since its commercialised birth and whenever they face each other, every darts fans have their favourite. Taylor beat Welshman, Gerwyn Price, 10-5 to earn his place in the second round whilst Barney scrapped through following a tight match against Joe Cullen. This match can go either way, Taylor will feel this is one of his last ‘El Classico’s’ and he will be up for it more than ever, this could see him over the line.

Skybet To Reach the Final – Phil Taylor – 8/1

Horse Racing Preview - Windsor - 23rd October 2017

Today’s horse racing preview comes from one meeting, with 4 selections from Nottingham.

 

18.20 Nottingham – Watch Racing UK With Free Trial Now Novice Auction Stakes  (5.1f)

Paul Cole’s May Remain is the most experienced in the field, with one recorded win which came over five furlongs at Goodwood back in May. There have been positive runs since when returning to the haunt of Goodwood to be beaten quite convincingly over six furlongs.

He was subsequently dropped back to this trip and ran well again when beaten at Chepstow by a recent Listed contender in Listen Alexander who has been probably been running up to marks of around the mid-eighties. I am not that concerned by the softening conditions, considering the sire Mayson won plenty on this ground.

Main danger and selection though comes in the way of Ginbar of Tom Dascombe’s. He equipped himself well on debut when runner up at Chester when beaten by Gift in Time who had already run in the Norfolk Stakes. That race is going to produce more winners, Ginbar would not have to do much to improve to land this contest.

GINBAR : 3pt Win @ SP (BOG)

18.50 Nottingham – Racing UK Free For A Month Handicap

Michael Appleby trained last year’s third in this and returns with a live chance with Primanora, who could not be more consistent with all her fourth places on her resume. She has finished twice here at Nottingham over 6.1f and takes the drop back to the optimum which just might be a well plotted piece of brilliance by the trainer.

She won’t have it all her own way though, with the likes of Glacier Point in the race, who was last seen winning at Chepstow in a 0-70 Handicap. Her two runs on ground that has come up like today has failed to show her true self and once more can be vulnerable to the conditions.

Sitar also deserves a mention after her win over course and distance two runs back in a 0-65 handicap. However, was beaten in a 0-75 last time out at Yarmouth and the winner was left with egg on his face when finishing last recently. I will stay with Primanora as she will be value I think against the two main principles in the market.

PRIMANORA : 2pt Win @ SP (BOG)

19.20 Nottingham – Trial Racing UK For Free Now Handicap (0-80) (6.1f)

I feel the two to concentrate on here are the top and bottom weights in Champagne Bob and King of Spin. The latter is on a quick turnaround after scoring just four days ago. Can you believe that this five-year-old gelding has only been ridden by claiming amateurs since August of 2015?  With only three jockeys succeeding, including today’s rider Katherine Glenister who rode him to success two runs back at Chepstow.

This afternoon he is going for his third win in three weeks, however, despite getting lumps of weight from King of Spin, a stone and a half in fact, I do feel he will find it hard to fend off Richard Hughes four year old. He won here last August over course and distance on good ground and has equipped himself well recently when runner up at Windsor in a 0-85 handicap.

His last win here at the course, he wore a tongue tie, which returns once more after being left off his last three runs, which gives him the nod for me under 7lb claimer Finley Marsh.

KING OF SPIN : 3pts Win @ SP (BOG)

19.50 Nottingham – Starting Your Free Racing UK Free Trial Now Handicap (0-80) (8.3f)

I am finding it hard to get David O’Meara’s Lamloon beaten this evening. His consistent ability to keep on running under penalties and producing is the best form on offer here. Four attempts at a mile he has failed, hitting the bar on three occasions. Despite his only success coming over 9.1f at Ayr, in which he has become a regular visitor, he goes well in the conditions and would I like to think they could ride him handier with Tudhope in the plate, he can grind this out and win despite taking a slight drop in trip.

Richard Fahey’s Natajack looks the main danger under Tony Hamilton. He gets 9lb from the selection but I actually think that is a plus, Tony Hamilton’s stats when riding horses that are in receipt of weight when fancied have returned just 8% from 47 mounts. Natajack was probably unlucky not to win on debut at Newbury in these conditions when a head behind now 87 rated Musawaat.

Has been beaten over the index at Doncaster but that came on faster ground, the drop back to just under a mile saw him just hold on at Carlisle two weeks ago, will have to step up again to get back to back wins.

LAMLOOM : 2pt Win @ SP (BOG)

 

*I would also like to suggest a Win Lucky 15 on the 4 selections, as they can all give a good account of themselves on the day.*

Horse Racing Preview - Hereford - 29th November 2017

Today’s horse racing preview comes from one meeting, with two selections from Windsor.

 

18.45 Windsor – EBF Stallions Breeding Winners Fillies Handicap (11.4f)

Hugo Palmer’s Kind of Beauty should bounce back after a disappointing return when finishing fifth in a 0-90 Handicap at Salisbury last month. She is now stepping into a new index territory which should suit and I expect her to improve.

Best of the rest looks to come from Marie Josephe who won for the blog two runs back, but was over turned last time against an average bunch, Di Alta ran a good second at Doncaster and should make her presence felt once more, but with Buick booked on the selection she gets the nod here.

King of Beauty : 2pt Win @ 9/2 (BOG)

19.45 Windsor – Sky Bet Windsor Sprint Series Handicap (0-90) (5.1f)

I would like to see Joseph Tuite’s Secondo land the spoils here, with success when trained under the guidance of Roger Charlton and more recently Robert Stephens who mainly was competing in European contests.

This is only his second run for the new trainer and drops in to lesser company and trip, would have gone close if not finding trouble in running. Sandfranskipsgo and Atletico look best of the rest, the latter represents Roger Varian with Atzeni in the plate.

Ran a good third over 6f here at Windsor in maiden company, but piece of form to date came at Ripon when placed in a 0-95 Handicap so needs to be watched for market confidence. Sandfrankskipsgo is on a long losing streak, however does contain ability over the optimum trip and should be on the premises.

Secondo : 1pt each way @ 8/1 (BOG)

CONCACAF Gold Cup Semi Final - Mexico v Jamaica - Match Preview

Mexico v Jamaica – Match Preview – The Rose Bowl, California will host the second CONCACAF Gold Cup semi-final as Mexico and Jamaica repeat the 2015 final and battle for the right to face the United States for the title.

Pre-tournament favourites Mexico have reached this stage in a comfortable, yet not completely convincing manner. Two expected wins in the group over El Salvador and Curacao, 3-1 and 2-0 respectively, alongside a 0-0 draw with tomorrow’s semi-final opponents Jamaica helped El Tri to finish top of Group C.

This set up a quarter-final meeting with Group A’s 3rd place finishers Honduras, who only obtained enough points to do so by virtue of a French Guiana forfeit for fielding an ineligible player (Florent Malouda).  An early Rodolfo Pizzaro goal proved enough to separate the two sides in a 1-0 win for Juan Carlos Osario’s side and place Mexico in their sixth successive semi-final in this competition.

The most successful team in the tournament’s history with 10 overall victories, Mexico’s dominance in the CONCACAF region brings a certain level of expectancy with it.
Consequently, despite also competing in the Confederations Cup this summer and finishing 4th, anything less than lifting the Gold Cup trophy on Wednesday will be viewed as a failure.
All the more important considering failure will give the chance for bitter rivals USMNT to claim bragging rights as the confederation’s best side.

The next obstacle for El Tri to accomplish that is Jamaica, in only their fourth ever Gold Cup semi-final but their second in succession, the Reggae Boyz have proven themselves to be capable again this campaign.

Romario Williams scored against Canada to help progress to the Semi Final

Like Mexico, Theodore Whitmore’s side are yet to lose in the competition after a 2-0 victory over Curacao and two draws against Mexico (0-0) and El Salvador (1-1).
Finishing 2nd in Group C saw a match-up against exciting tournament dark horses Canada and Jamaica duly dispatched the Canucks 2-1 courtesy of Shaun Francis and Romario Williams (yes named after ‘that’ Romario) strikes. Portland Timbers forward Darren Mattocks has been pivotal so far, scoring twice in the group stage and setting up both goals against Canada and will be vital for Jamaica securing a shock result.

Make no mistake, the Reggae Boyz are the underdogs here but in a Gold Cup where no single team has asserted dominance it leaves the door wide open for someone just like Jamaica to come and whisk away the title from the favourites.

Horse Racing Preview - Pontefract - 9th October 2017

Today’s horse racing preview comes from Redcar with two selections from the meeting.

 

14.00 Redcar – Get The Sky Bet Advantage EBF Auction Novice Stakes

I like the current connection between Paul Mulrennan and inform trainer Michael Dods. Their representative here is Tebay who ran fifth on debut at Carlisle. It wasn’t the best of races with the fourth bring thrashed last night, however with the yard in such fine fettle, I give him the nod.

Barbarianatthegate has to be respected with Oisin Murphy in the plate. He improved immediately when finishing runner up at Chelmsford two weeks ago. Any rain will help his cause more.

Tebay : 2pt win @ SP (BOG)

16.00 Redcar – Racing UK Now On Talktalk TV Classified Claiming Stakes. 

Dutch Artist has not won since last May, however, some creditable runs and now taking that positive step up in trip he should be the one to beat this afternoon.

Paul Mulrennan will be looking for a good day with some interesting mounts; he rides here for Conor Dore on Chelwood Gate. His second at Newbury was a back on track display and if in the same kind of mood could run well.

Horse Racing Preview - Ffos Las - 12th November 2017

Today’s horse racing preview comes from three meetings, with racing from  Newbury, Ripon and Haydock.

 

14:25 Newbury – Bet365 Stakes  (Listed)  (10f)

On paper both Mount Logan and Spark Plug make most appeal especially the latter who has already taken the scalp of Mount Logan when they met in the Listed Festival Stakes at York back in May. Since then Spark Plug has managed to come on to land the Listed Gala Stakes at Sandown.

Mount Logan has just over three lengths to find with Spark Plug and with only 3lb between them this time, it is looking difficult for the Roger Varian six-year-old to reverse that form. Now I was looking to be in Spark Plugs camp this afternoon, however an interesting entrant here is Hugo Palmers Best of Day who I tipped up when running no sort of race on seasons re-appearance in the Group 2 King Edward V11 Stakes at Ascot.

The drop back to 10f and into Listed company should be a lot easier this afternoon considering he won the Royal Lodge as a juvenile over 8f he still looks open to more progression, gets the age weight allowance.

BEST OF DAYS : 2pt Win @ 9/2 (BOG)

15:00 Newbury – Bet365 Hackwood Stakes (Group 3)  (6f)

Three entries jumped off the page this afternoon in Glass Office, Perfect Pasture and the selection for the race Tupi. Glass Office had to miss all of 2015/16 season due to injury and has been nursed back to health by David Simcock. He was a regular around pattern company until his injury and landed the Group 2 Duke of York Stakes that year.

Trailing back in ninth on his last run which came in the Group 1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes triggered the injury, which was a shame has he had been coming into good form. His first run back was very encouraging when finishing fourth in the Listed Cathedral Stakes on ground that was most definitely too much on the quick side. With the easing ground, he cannot be over looked lightly and would not put you off having a small saver each way with him as he has shown enough to still process that ability to race at the top level.

Perfect Pleasure is more miss than hit, Mick Easterby;s seven year old is looking to break an eleven year voodoo which saw the last seven year old to land this race in Fayr Jag. Winner of the Listed Leisure Stakes at Windsor back in May, they decided to pitch him in at Black type level when competing in the Group 3 Chipchase Stakes on the all-weather at Newcastle.

Koropick was the winner that day and despite getting a 4lb turnaround here he does have a lot to do trying to reverse the form with Koropick, however a return to turf should see him run a lot better. Now on to the race selection which comes in the way of Richard Hannon’s Tupi. Fresh from Meydan he ran well back on English soil when landing the Listed Cammidge Trophy Stakes at Doncaster in very good fashion by four lengths.

Has lost his way slightly when competing in black type company when finishing sixth from the Duke of York Stakes and on his last run an excellent sixth in the Group 1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes at the Royal meeting. Has a bit to find with Magical Memory on their last encounter, but the Ascot race could turn out to be a decent renewal.

TUPI : 1pt each way @ 9/1 (BOG)

16.40 Ripon – VW Van Centre (West Yorkshire Handicap) (0-85) (8f)

Richard Fahey’s Areen Heart has been place consistent this season, his runner up spot at Haydock three weeks ago when behind Calder Prince in a 0-95 handicap speaks volumes on the form table. The fourth Lincoln Rocks franked that form at Pontefract ten days ago, with only a 1lb penalty from that run he should be on the premises under Philip Makin.

Town Charter I fear the most, if Mark Johnston’s three-year-old can bring some of his sprinting form from his juvenile days he would have to be considered. Since being stepped up to a mile he has failed to show that two-year-old potential, however he has dropped 7lb at the weights since May this year and on that I think he will give another good account, Mark Johnston won this last year with Huntlaw.

This race though has been more revolved around top weights landing the spoils, in fact four of the last five winners have carried top or second top weight in the race, and this brings in the likes of Dark Profit and Torrid. David O’Meara’s five-year-old has taken his time to get off the mark this year, but with wins at Carlisle and Ayr he is stepping into unknown territory now stepping up to the new mile trip.

Michael Easterby’s Torrid has left last season’s disappointments a long way behind after two solid efforts this year which saw him land a 0-85 off a mark of 77 at Carlisle and previously ran well off a 5lb penalty on the all-weather at Newcastle in a 0-95. This is a drop back to his relevant class, despite now carrying 7lb higher than his win at Redcar, he gets the services once more of Nathan Evans who’s 3lb claim has carried many winners for the team this season already.

TORRID : 2pt Win @ SP (BOG)

19.30 Haydock – Betfred Follow Us On Twitter Conditions Stakes (Class3) (6.9f)

Kool Company and Jungle Cat for me are becoming very frustrating to follow, I have now put up Jungle Cat twice to go on and disappoint me, especially the last run at Chester when he should have fulfilled his odds and won. Kool Company also has become a frustrating bet prospective, He has not shown anything of his Doncaster win when landing the Listed Doncaster Stakes.

Fair enough he has been competing at higher levels than this, but was a long way behind Jungle Cat at Chester recently and there was just not any excuses for the pair of them, Charles Hills Ibn Malik had his first run when pitched in at Group 3 level when finishing fourth in the Criterion Stakes at Newmarket, he was behind Jungle Cat that day to five and a half lengths off level weights, and despite getting 4lb here it’s hard to see the form reversed.

So, again for the third time I am putting up the last saloon for Jungle Cat, who on paper is far superior to most of these and should, and I hope, finally get back into the winning enclosure.

JUNGLE CAT : 3pt Win @ SP (BOG)

Leicester City vs Liverpool - Match Preview

Leicester City vs Liverpool – Match Preview – Craig Shakespeare’s Leicester take on Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool in Saturday’s final, after both teams saw off Premier League opposition in this year’s Premier League Asia Trophy. The final starts at 20:30 in Hong Kong, 13:30 BST.

Leicester beat West Brom on their way to the final, coming out 7-6 winners in a penalty shoot-out. The game finished 1-1 in normal time, which saw new Albion signing Jay Rodriguez hit the net while a Riyad Mahrez strike helped Leicester level the match up.

Mahrez again proved how vital he is to Leicester, and showed why they are so reluctant to let him leave with a tidy finish from outside the area. The club are believed to have rejected a bid in the region of £20 million for the Algerian, after he submitted a transfer request back in May.

Leicester have added Hull City stopper Eldin Jakupovic, who will be good cover for first choice keeper Kasper Schmeichel. Alongside the signings of Harry Maguire and Vicente Iborra, the Foxe’s have had a formidable transfer window and look strong going in to the new season.

Liverpool by contrast dispatched of Frank De Boer’s Crystal Palace side with consummate ease. The Reds came out with a 2-0 win, thanks to goals from new signing Dominic Solanke and Divock Origi. The former Chelsea man could not have wished for a better start with his new club, opening the scoring in the 61st minute on his debut with a great strike.

The last time these two clubs met, the score was 3-1 at the King Power stadium. The match was Leicester’s first since sacking Claudio Ranieri and Liverpool were blown away by the Foxes, with Jamie Vardy scoring a brace. However, the match at Anfield earlier in the season was a different story. Liverpool battered the then Champions of England with a 4-1 victory as they started the season in fantastic fashion.

Daniel Sturridge could lead the line in the Final Photo Credit: skysports.com

Leicester have won only two of the last ten meetings between the two sides, losing six. Their last win at Anfield came back in May 2000, with a 2-0 victory. In recent years, this game has served up a lot of goals, with 29 goals coming between the two sides last ten games.

In the ten matches, six of those games have seen both teams score. Whilst the games also tend to be tight, there has only been two draws between the sides since the turn of the millennium.

Horse Racing Preview - Haydock, Newbury & Newmarket - 21st July 2017

Today’s horse racing preview comes from three meetings, with selections from Haydock, Newbury & Newmarket.

 

14.55 Haydock – Simon Landl Born To Run Handicap  (0-85)  (6f)

Some interesting three-year old’s line up here, none other than Robert Cowell’s Storm Over. He looked mighty impressive when landing a 0-75 handicap at Redcar when beating some useful individuals. That race is starting to work out well; the runner up Boundsy went in at Chester last week when landing a 0-80 handicap, the third Flawlessly has also won at Redcar in a 0-70 handicap, Kamra ran fourth behind Boundsy, the sixth place has also franked the form when winning a 0-75 in superb style as Venture Secret won a 0-75 handicap at Carlisle.

Storm Over has not got the pressure of any big races to get ready for, so he will no doubt go well again despite stepping up in class. One I do like though is David O’Meara’s Black Isle Boy There looked something amiss at Pontefract when tailing off, prior to that hit a treble of wins at Pontefract, Hamilton and Ayr. Danny rode him to success at Pontefract, that race has not really shown any light on how much Black Isle Boy is treated here with the only form coming out of that maiden was the fourth-place finisher Sheepscar Lad.

Scorching Heat, Merlin and Think Fashion have all tasted success this year. Scorching Heat scored at Salisbury in a 0-75, but currently running off 84, he just seems to be within the handicapper’s grasp. Think Fashion just held on in a maiden at Windsor, has already tasted pattern company when finishing ninth in the Fred Darling, however, he deserves his chances here but will probably find one or two a bit more forward. The Queen is represented here by Merlin who was denied a third win on the spin when beaten in a 0-85 handicap by a horse that was rated 12lb below him.

Won here over 7f two runs back and Martin Harley returns to ride after finishing second on him at Yarmouth as a juvenile when behind Desert Skyline who was narrowly beaten in the Bahrain Trophy last week. It’s hard to get away from Storm Over, even his time has been sub 70s, best time in the field, but not far behind him is the selection, who despite being 4lb higher he should still make his presence felt here.

BLACK ISLE BOY : 1pt each way @ SP (BOG)

15.50 Newbury – Bathwick Tyres Rose Bowl Stakes (Listed) (6f)

Some prolific sprinters have won this race in the past, the likes of Duke of Stakes winner Tasleet, Group 1 winning sprinter Limato, District One Handicap winner Master of War and Darley Stakes runner up Saigon. So, these have a bit to live up to and should be going on to pattern company from this in theory.Who has shown vast improvement? Richard Faheys Simmy’s Chopshop returns after a good second in the Prix De Caen, prior to that running midfield in the Windsor Castle Stakes at the Royal meeting.

He does have a bit to find with Another Batt though who has gone on to frank that run when winning a good Novices Stakes at Ayr. He has a Phoenix Stakes entry next month and he is very well thought of by his up and coming trainer George Scott. Roger Varian’s Madeline won well at Goodwood to go on and run a cracking fifth in the Albany Stakes. A neck behind was a horse called Actress who gave the race a big boost when landing the Group 3 Anglesey Stakes last weekend.

It’s hard when I do like two in the race.  Another Batt is definitely going to run another big race, but my concern is the conditions, maybe the ground might overcome him, but never the less, I am a big fan of the trainer and he is getting the nod just ahead of Madeline who I think can improve again, with the form recently franked in pattern company, she deserves a crack at these.

ANOTHER BATT : 3pt Win @ SP ( BOG)

17.35 Newmarket – Fly London Southend Airport To Perpignan Fillies Handicap (0-75)  (10f)

A very trappy affair, but all eyes will be on Trulee Scrumptious who is attempting to land this race for the second time. She was also unlucky not to follow up last year when just denied. The Peter Charalambous eight-year-old has been a part of the family being with the trainer throughout her career and has built a strong resume here at Newmarket being unbeaten (5-5). I personally feel she is going to be the bet of the day and a NAP.

Best of the rest; the bottom weight here Gleny’s The Menace whose most runs have come around below average contests on the all-weather. She has won on the turf at Lingfield when beating a horse called Tigerfish who recently won. Twenty Times & Safira Menina will have to step up on what they have to do to overturn the selection here, the latter makes more appeal after landing a 0-70 handicap at Chepstow.

TRULEE SCRUMPTIOUS: 4pt Win @ SP (BOG) (NAP)

Germany Women's vs Italy Women's - Match Preview

Germany Women’s vs Italy Women’s – Match Preview – Tournament favourites Germany will face Italy in their second group round fixture at the 2017 UEFA Women’s Euros. The Germans were held to a stalemate against Sweden in their curtain raiser, despite dominating for large periods of the match. Italy fell to the feet of the Russians in one of the shock results so far in the tournament. After conceding two first half goals in quick succession, the Italians could only grab a late consolation goal and were unable to get their first points of the tournament.

Germany have won the previous six UEFA Women’s Euros and are without a doubt the most dominant force in Europe. With quality, strength and depth in their squad, they remain the team to beat despite failing to win their first fixture. Manager, Steffi Jones, admitted she was disappointed her team was unable to convert their many chances they created, however, no one is doubting their sides quality to find the back of the net against Italy. Striker, Anja Mittag, failed to convert some chances however is one of the most dangerous attackers at the Euros. The striker plays her club football for FC Rosengard and has scored 50 international goals in 155 appearances. Mittag and company will be searching for their first victory of the tournament, can they pull it off?

The Italians were bitterly disappointed with their defeat against Russia. Their sloppy first half performance gave Italy too large a mountain to climb against a defensively organised Russian side. Head coach, Antonio Cabrini, has admitted his side will have to take any chance they can get against the tough and rigid German side. Striker, Melania Gabbiadini, will be key for the Italians’ bid to get their first points of the campaign. Often described as ‘rapid’ and ‘lethal’, Gabbiadini will be hopeful to grab her first goal of the tournament. The attacker is the sister of Southampton striker, Manolo Gabbiadini, and she will be looking to replicate his impressive season in Holland for her nation. Can the Italians upset the Germans?
