NFL Week 16 Bet Now, Bet Later: Colts-Cardinals Line Moving Quickly

Arsenal s Martin Odegaard limped off as Manchester City s Erling Haaland scored late to seal a 2-1 victory for Norway against Austria in the Nations League.

Odegaard appeared to injure his ankle following a tangle of legs with Christoph Baumgartner, subsequently leaving the field in tears in the 67th minute.

It provides a bitter blow for Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta ahead of this weekend s north London derby with Tottenham Hotspur, with Declan Rice also missing after his red card against Brighton and Hove Albion.

The Gunners captain left the field with the scores level at Ullevaal Stadion after Felix Myhre s ninth minute strike was cancelled out by Marcel Sabitzer before half-time.

With Norway looking set to draw their first two games in their Nati…

Looking to make it back-to-back Europa League victories on Thursday night, Bayer Leverkusen will travel over to Norway when they meet Molde.

Molde

Starting with the hosts, while Molde might have largely impressed since returning from September’s international break, the reigning Norwegian champions have struggled with their consistency this season. Needing a minor miracle in their bid to retain their Eliteserien crown this year, Erling Moe’s men also opened their Europa League adventure with a toothless performance on September 21st. Getting proceedings underway with a 1-0 loss at the hands of Qarabag, MFK will be more than aware that they face a stern examination on Thursday night. However, picking up some perfect momentum over th…

Marco Silva conceded Fulham cannot switch off for one second in the Premier League, after Danny Ings last-gasp equaliser denied the Cottagers all three points against West Ham.

The hosts appeared on course to take the spoils in the London derby at Craven Cottage, where Raul Jimenez put them in front after 24 minutes.

However, the visitors snatched a dramatic equaliser in the fifth minute of stoppage time, when substitute Ings fired past Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

And Silva acknowledged his side s brief lapse in concentration proved costly.

It just shows that in this Premier League, you cannot switch off for one second, he told BBC Sport. We are aware of the quick throws, and we have to keep focus and concentration.

A big frustration for us be…

With the 2023/24 campaign just around the corner, all of England s elite are starting to put together the final touches during their summer preparations.

Watching a host of Premier League heavyweights travel over to the United States this summer, clubs from up and down the country are looking to make a pre-season statement of intent.

With the likes of Chelsea and battling it out in midweek, we have taken a glance at two all-Premier League clashes from the USA.

Brentford vs Brighton

Date: Wednesday, July 26th
UK Start Time: 22:30
Venue: Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta

Embarking on what was a famous Premier League romp last season and clinching a maiden European ticket, have only gone from strength to strength since they welcomed Roberto De Zerbi to t…

Gabriel Jesus scored a second-half brace as Manchester City claimed a 2-1 win over Everton, who suffered defeat for the first time under Carlo Ancelotti.

Brazil striker Jesus was restored to the starting line-up in one of five changes from City s victory against Sheffield United and more than took his opportunity in Wednesday s clash at the Etihad Stadium.

Phil Foden had a strike ruled out by the video assistant referee in a low-key first half, but the home side stepped things up in the second half and were rewarded through Jesus quickfire double.

Everton had won back-to-back matches under Ancelotti previously and gave themselves a lifeline when Richarlison profited from a Claudio Bravo error 19 minutes from time, but they could not find a leveller as City saw th…

Neymar says it will be impossible to stop Paris Saint-Germain winning the Champions League if they replicate the never-say-die spirit shown in a remarkable 2-1 victory over Atalanta.

The French champions were heading for a shock defeat in Wednesday s quarter-final in Lisbon as they trailed to Mario Pasalic s first-half strike heading into injury time.

However, Marquinhos scored a fortuitous equaliser in the 90th minute and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting converted from close range 149 seconds later to complete the turnaround.

Despite being on the brink of elimination at the hands of surprise package Atalanta, Neymar insists he never feared crashing out of the competition.

I never thought of elimination, I never thought of going home, he told RMC Sport. From …

Erling Haaland s price tag means he is an unrealistic transfer target for Bayern Munich, according the club s chief executive Oliver Kahn.

With Bayern s own star striker Robert Lewandowski linked with a move to Spain ahead of his contract expiring in 2023, it has been suggested that Die Roten could make another raid on rivals Dortmund, just as they did when bringing Lewandowski to the club in 2014.

Haaland has scored 18 goals in 20 Bundesliga appearances this season, 14 fewer than Lewandowski, albeit having played nine games fewer than the 33-year-old.

A host of Europe s top clubs expected to make serious attempts to sign the Norwegian come the end of the season. However, Kahn says Bayern do not have the finances to make a deal work.

I don t think we wou…

Wayne Rooney showered praise on Plymouth Argyle s defensive showing after surviving a late onslaught to emerge 3-1 victors against Luton Town at Home Park.

Plymouth took the lead in the eighth minute courtesy of Rami Al Hajj, with the Swede notching his first Pilgrims goal with a curled finish beyond Thomas Kaminski.

The hosts found themselves two goals in front 20 minutes from time after substitute Ibrahim Cissoko shifted the ball onto his left foot before firing a stunning effort into the far corner.

Plymouth s joy was short-lived, though, as Victor Moses chested down Alfie Doughty s cross to the back post before striking the ball beyond Daniel Grimshaw less than two minutes later.

The Hatters continued to pile on the pressure in search of an equali…

Girona have been rocked by a couple of injury blows ahead of the first home Champions League game in their history, but coach Michel says they will go all out to beat Feyenoord.

The Catalan side, who qualified for Europe s premier club competition for the first time by finishing third in LaLiga last season, lost 1-0 at Paris Saint-Germain on matchday one.

On the domestic front, they played out a 1-1 draw with Celta Vigo on Sunday, losing key men Oriol Romeu and Daley Blind to injury.

The former is expected to miss around eight weeks with the latter likely to be sidelined for a month, but Michel is choosing to remain upbeat ahead of Girona s historic outing.

It s our new reality. We need to take it one game at a time, Michel told reporters ahead of Wednes…

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes Thursday’s landmark court ruling in Europe will have given UEFA a “shake” and prevent it from adding more matches to the calendar without any challenge.

The European Court of Justice said UEFA rules which blocked the formation of the European Super League in 2021 were contrary to EU law.

That led backers of the Super League to declare victory and immediately unveil plans for new men’s and women’s competitions.

While Klopp agreed with the Reds’ statement saying their interest in the Super League had been discontinued, he was more interested in the court ruling highlighting that bodies like UEFA and FIFA must not govern in self-interest, and must have a framework of transparent, objective, non-discriminatory and p…
