Women’s Euro 2017 – Portugal vs England – Match Preview

July 26, 2017 by Ieuan Ivett·Comments Off

Portugal vs England – Match Preview – England will face Portugal in their final group stage fixture at the 2017 Women’s EURO’s where they will be looking to secure top spot in Group D. Mark Sampson’s side are yet to concede a goal in the tournament and have scored eight in two matches. Spain came close to breaking down the tough English defence led by captain, Steph Houghton, however failed to do so. Portugal overcame a tough test against Scotland where a late counter attacking goal gave them their first win of the tournament, despite having spent plenty of the match on the back foot.

England have been the most impressive team in the tournament so far. Their clinical attack led by poacher, Jodie Taylor, has delivered plenty of creativity and goals thus far. The Arsenal striker has scored four goals in two matches and currently leads the tournament golden boot standings. She has been supported by attackers, Ellen White and Fran Kirby who have also had no trouble finding the back of the net.

England have illustrated their strength and depth with midfield and defence also impressing. Centre midfield rock, Jill Scott, continued her impressive form following the Scotland victory and defender, Lucy Bronze, has continued to showcase her attacking ability down the right side. All in all, England shouldn’t have too much trouble dispatching of this rather underwhelming Portugal side.

Portugal most recently took to the field against Scotland, where they narrowly won 2-1. The Portuguese seemed to struggle to string many passes together and were only dangerous in counter attacking scenarios. Scotland were able to give Portugal a tough 90 minutes where they were on the backfoot for plenty of it, so England will be another level all together. Trindade Coruche Mendes’ pace was Portugal’s biggest outlet, however were lucky Scotland were not clinical enough and squandered easy chances.

Portugal, like many nations at this tournament, are appearing for the first time. Manager Francisco Neto, has expressed his delight that his team were able to salvage three points in their first major tournament and will also believe his side have a good chance of qualification. Can Neto and his side create more history?

CONCACAF Gold Cup Final – USA vs Jamaica – Match Preview

July 26, 2017 by Jools Jordan-Probert·Comments Off

USA vs Jamaica – Match Preview – International tournaments are a rare occurrence. They are the pinnacle of a professional footballer’s career, an opportunity for a player to showcase their abilities on the grandest audiences. Normally to legions of patriotic fans who look on either from the crowd or from a distance, watching their heroes attempt to cement their place in history.

USMNT and surprise package Jamaica will both compete at Levis Stadium, Santa Clara on Thursday morning in the CONCACAF Gold Cup Final to do just that.

The Yanks may not hold this competition in the highest regard compared to the World Cup for instance, hence the initial squad excluding a lot of big names like Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey and including younger, more inexperienced players, but make no mistake Bruce Arena’s team definitely want to win this tournament.

The stars switched back into the side at the quarter-final stage, and Clint Dempsey did what he does best to seal Sunday’s 2-0 semi-final victory over Costa Rica with a goal that ties him as the country’s all-time leading goal-scorer with Landon Donovan on 57 strikes.

A quarter-final triumph over El Salvador by the same score-line demonstrates that in a tournament where there has been no single outstanding team, the United States are garnering momentum at the just the right time and are demonstrating championship credentials.

Mexico suffered the ignominy of defeat against Jamaica in the semi-finals, and the United States will do everything in their power to avoid facing the same fate.
The Stars and Stripes are the second most successful side in Gold Cup history with 5 victories, two behind bitter rivals Mexico, and this presents a fantastic opportunity to narrow the gap to a singular title. Not to mention the reward for victory is a guaranteed place in the CONCACAF play-off for the 2021 Confederations Cup.

Jamaica will be inherently aware of that opportunity, by beating Curacao, Canada and Mexico on the way, they have the chance to elevate their underdog story to the highest reaches of the game by beating a CONCACAF superpower like the United States in an international tournament final.
Creating a chance to play against the World’s best at the Confederations Cup is something manager Theodore Whitmore will be desperate to achieve.

This is the second successive final for the Reggae Boyz which is an outstanding achievement, this two-year period has undoubtedly been the greatest in Jamaican history.
Exacting revenge against 2015 winners Mexico in Monday’s semi-final with a resilient 1-0 win illustrates how far they have come. To do so with a wonderful moment of individual brilliance like the free-kick Kemar Lawrence curled into the top corner in the 88^th minute makes it so much sweeter.

This final should have an intriguing clash of styles, the Reggae Boyz have only conceded two goals in the entire tournament and will set up to force the United States, who like to attack and are the tournament’s highest scorers with a total of 11 goals so far, to dominate possession and break them down.

The United States are unquestionably massive favourites to claim their sixth CONCACAF Gold Cup crown but do not rule Jamaica out one bit – they have already conquered Mexico and have glory in their sights.

Player to Watch
Clint Dempsey is an USMNT legend, nothing will ever change that. However, he has an opportunity to enhance that legacy on Thursday by scoring the goal that will place him as his country’s record goal-scorer and with a penchant for finding the net when it matters, you wouldn’t bet against him doing it. The ex-New England Revolution, Fulham, Spurs and Seattle Sounders forward is seeking his third CONCACAF Gold Cup against the team who he began his international career against, with a debut v Jamaica 13 years ago in 2004. He has since made a total of 136 appearances for the United States and it would be a special moment for all involved to see him score the winner.

Barcelona vs Manchester United – Match Preview

July 26, 2017 by Prashant Maniar·Comments Off

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

July 25, 2017 by Ieuan Ivett·Comments Off

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.

Skybet To Reach the Final – Dave Chisnall – 15/2

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 – Nottingham – 25th July 2017

July 25, 2017 by Darren Chettleburgh·Comments Off

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)
