Napoli began their season with a 2-0 victory away to Genoa, with two late goals helping Max Allegri's side enjoy a winning start. They now play their first home encounter and look an attractive price to overcome Como. Cesc Fabregas' side started with a 1-1 draw at Udinese although the Serie A betting sites give them a decent chance of getting a positive result.

Andoni Iraola takes charge of his first Liverpool FC match on Sunday 23 August, with the Spaniard having made the switch from AFC Bournemouth to take charge at the Merseyside club.

The Belgian Pro League kicks off this weekend, with one of the Saturday night matches pitting Westerlo against Union Saint Gilloise. It's the visitors who are favourites to win at Het Kuipje, with the team finishing top of the regular standings before finishing runners-up in the Champions' play-offs. However, Westerlo will be confident of getting a positive outcome on home soil.

Paris Saint-Germain won the 2025 Super Cup when defeating Tottenham Hotspur and they're warm favourites to overcome another English opponent in the 2026 game. The European champions are odds-on for a normal time victory against an Aston Villa side who won the Europa League last term. Unai Emery has already seen Morgan Rogers and Youri Tielemans depart the club this summer.

Ajax finished a disappointing fifth in the 2025–26 Eredivisie standings, with the Amsterdam side being held to an unprecedented number of draws. They'll be aiming to challenge for the Dutch title this season, with their opening clash involving a trip to PEC Zwolle. The home team escaped relegation last term but could be vulnerable this time around.

West Ham and Burnley were both relegated from the Premier League last season and are now aiming to make an immediate return. The Hammers are trading as Championship title favourites, with Nuno Espirito Santo taking charge of the London side once again. They travel to face a Clarets side who are now managed by Nicky Hayen.

The 2026-27 Scottish Premiership season begins on Friday 31 July, with title challengers Rangers heading to Tannadice Park. The Gers will hope to improve after only finishing third in the top-flight last term, with Dundee United having wound up in seventh. The home side will be looking to catch their Old Firm opponents cold and land a positive result.

Arsenal are the champions of England and will look to lay down a marker on Sunday 16 August when they head to Wembley Stadium to contest the 2026 Community Shield match. They face familiar opponents in the form of Manchester City, a team who won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup last term. According to the odds, it looks set to be a close encounter.

And then there were two. Spain and Argentina have navigated their way past seven opponents to take their place in the 2026 World Cup final. It's the European side who are favourites to land a victory in New Jersey, with Luis de la Fuente's side having overcome France 2-0. Argentina came from behind to topple England and will now aim to retain their crown.

England and Argentina are the final two teams standing in the bottom half of the 2026 World Cup draw. Only one can reach the final, with the bookies struggling to separate these old adversaries in terms of betting odds. The Three Lions are slight favourites but needed extra-time to overcome Norway, while Argentina also took 120 minutes to topple Switzerland.

Spain started the 2026 World Cup as outright favourites although France leapfrogged them in the market some time ago. Les Bleus have been swiping teams aside throughout the tournament and they'll be a warm order to beat their old adversary in Texas. However, La Roja have only conceded one goal in the tournament so far and could be a tough nut to crack.

Argentina produced a dramatic comeback on Tuesday night to overcome Egypt at the last sixteen stage of the World Cup. Lionel Scaloni's side looked dead and buried when trailing by two goals before a rousing finale, with Switzerland powering through on penalty kicks against Colombia after keeping Los Cafeteros at bay for 120 minutes.

England overcame co-hosts Mexico at the Azteca Stadium to land a place in the World Cup quarter-finals, with Thomas Tuchel's side now meeting Norway for a semi-final spot. Once again, the Three Lions are favourites to win the clash, with the bookies impressed by their 3-2 win against El Tri. However, they meet a Norwegian side who enjoyed a deserved 2-1 success against Brazil.

Spain began the World Cup as outright favourites although the bookies haven't been convinced by their overall performances. La Roja have still found their way into the last eight of the competition, with Luis de la Fuente's side strong favourites to beat a Belgium side who came to life at the last sixteen stage. A 4-1 win over USA means that they'll be confident coming into this clash.

France have navigated their way to the last eight stage of the 2026 World Cup, with Didier Deschamps' side having edged past a physical Paraguay team in the previous round. They were too strong for Sweden and are now favourites to overcome a Morocco side who have dumped out Netherlands and Canada en route to the last eight.

Brazil might be the most successful nation in World Cup history although the bottom line is that they haven't won any tournament since 2002. The Selecao have made their way to the last sixteen of the competition, overcoming Japan at the death, although they now have a fairly tricky encounter against a spirited Norway side who found a way past Ivory Coast in their own dramatic fashion.

England made hard work of beating the Democratic Republic of Congo, with the Three Lions falling behind early in the match before two Harry Kane goals managed to topple a spirited African side. Thomas Tuchel's team now head to Mexico City to face the co-hosts in the lion's den and at altitude. The bookies think it will be a close encounter.

France have cruised through to the last sixteen stage of the 2026 World Cup, with Les Bleus operating as huge favourites to land a victory against Paraguay. Didier Deschamps' side could prove too strong for defensively stubborn opposition who might struggle to keep Kylian Mbappe and Michael Olise at bay throughout the ninety minutes.

One of Egypt and Australia will take their place in the last sixteen of the World Cup. The winner of this clash in Texas is likely to compete against Argentina, with the Pharaohs the slight favourite to claim a victory. Mohamed Salah will be hoping to spearhead a victory against a Socceroos side who finished second in Group D.

Portugal were unable to finish top of their qualifying group at the 2026 World Cup and it puts them on a collision course with Spain. Roberto Martinez's side must firstly overcome Croatia in Toronto and this won't be an easy assignment. The Blazers were able to recover from a 4-2 defeat against England to finish second in Group L.

Spain recovered from a goalless draw against Cape Verde to cruise through to the World Cup knockout stage, with La Roja having now been handed a winnable fixture in the last 32 phase. The European champions are red-hot favourites to overcome opposition who played out a crazy 3-3 draw with Algeria to confirm their spot at this stage of the tournament.

France have claimed convincing victories against Senegal, Iraq and Norway en route to the knockout stage of the World Cup. Sterner challenges await Les Bleus although they might not come from a Sweden side who have shown themselves to be defensively porous. The big concern is that they suffered a 5-1 defeat against the Netherlands and could be on the back foot here.

Belgium weren't pulling up any trees against Egypt and Iran before the Red Devils were able to crush New Zealand in their final Group G game. However, it's hard to be too confident that the Red Devils will oblige against a Senegal side who had the misfortune of running into France and Norway at the group stage before smashing Iraq to confirm their last-32 spot.

One of the highlight matches of the last-32 stage takes place at the Estadio BBVA in Guadalupe, with Netherlands and Morocco heading to Mexico to battle it out for a place in the next knockout round. It's a tough match for both sides at this stage of the competition, with the nations having competed favourably at Qatar.

Brazil cruised through Group C after claiming seven points and they're safely into the last 32 stage. The Selecao now clash with Japan at the NRG Stadium in Houston, with Carlo Ancelotti's side operating as strong favourites to beat the Blue Samurai. However, the Asian side did beat the same opponents in a friendly a few months ago.

Canada have been given a handsome reward for finishing second in Group B. The Canucks might have expected a tougher draw than South Africa, with Bafana Bafana pulling off a surprise 1-0 success against South Korea. The two sides meet in Inglewood for the honour of meeting either Netherlands or Morocco in the last sixteen of the tournament.

Colombia sit in the box seat when it comes to winning Group K. Los Cafeteros swept Uzbekistan aside to win 3-1 in their World Cup opener before a slender 1-0 success against DR Congo. That's enough for them to sit top of a section where Portugal opened with a goalless draw against the Congolese before swatting the Uzbeks to get their campaign back on track.

France and Norway have both landed wins against Senegal and Iraq to ensure their progress to the knockout stage of the 2026 World Cup. The two sides now meet at the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough to determine which nation goes through as Group I winners and who will be runners-up. It's Les Bleus who are favourites to win.

Germany are safely into the knockout phase of the 2026 World Cup, with a 7-1 victory against Curacao being followed by a 2-1 triumph against Ivory Coast. Julian Nagelsmann's side now take on an Ecuador team who need to register a victory in order to get through to the last 32. Although the South American team's need is greater, they are the outsiders to win this clash.

Netherlands are likely to win Group F thanks to a draw with Japan and a comprehensive victory against Sweden. It means that the latter two teams will meet at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington for the honour of finishing second. It's Japan who are in the box seat and the bookies have installed the Blue Samurai as strong favourites to land a victory.
