That three-goal comeback against Newcastle might have offered Jose Mourinho some temporary job security, but Manchester United’s visit to Chelsea might be a different matter; Maurizio Sarri’s side are unbeaten in the Premier League and there will be plenty at Stamford Bridge who would enjoy seeing the knife plunged into their former manager. Here’s our Stat Digest ahead of this weekend’s marquee game: •…

Ascot 1.25 – Thomas Hobson It might be folly to oppose Stradivarius, but almost all his best form has been on good or faster and he was a bit laboured on soft in this race last year before his guts and class got him back into it. As such, I’ll take a sporting stab at Thomas Hobson. The Doncaster Cup may not have been…

The jumps season in theory should be something we dread, but It truly is the most wonderful time of the year. The season corresponds with cold weather, rainy days and going/coming from work in the gloomy darkness. Nothing about these seasonal conditions can temper the racing fans enthusiasm though. I would consider myself a flat and jumps racing fan, but for pure emotional attachment,…

England have remained unbeaten through their international fixtures over the past week. They survived the oddity of that atmosphere in Croatia and then, quite unexpectedly, returned from Spain with an unlikely win and all three Nations League points. Across those two games, one of the highlights was the impact of Marcus Rashford. On Friday evening, he may have missed England’s two best chances, tentatively…

During the bizarre spectacle of England’s goalless draw with Croatia, Jordan Henderson was yellow-carded and will now miss this evening’s game with Spain. It’s an inconvenience for Gareth Southgate, as Henderson is really the only restricting midfielder in his squad, but it may yet prove an instructive moment. Harry Winks is expected to be called into the side and perhaps that will nudge England…

It would be a stretch to claim that ‘second season syndrome’ is a complete myth. After all we have too often seen a side propelled by momentum and a united dressing room go on to enjoy a fantastic campaign straight after gaining promotion only to then settle back into the pack. There is, it seems, a maximum period of one year before the other…

Welcome to the BetBright STATZONE, where we give you the stats and you make the decisions! After the recent International break, we are back with WEEK NINE in the Premier League and we get going with a crackerjack of a match as Chelsea welcome Manchester United to Stamford Bridge – and with the Blues unbeaten in their last five home league games over the…

The sands of time seem to move faster in football, something that has been showcased, rather painfully, over the last eight years at Inter Milan. In 2010 they became kings of Europe, beating Bayern Munich in the Champions League final under the guidance of Jose Mourinho. Since then, however, they have gone through 10 different managers, failed to consistently challenge for the title and…

Newmarket 1.50 – Kadar I really took to Kadar when he broke his maiden at Haydock on his debut, in part because I was pretty sure that the runner-up Waldstern was well above average. When he hit top gear, Kadar just glided by and looks to have a fair amount of the ability to justify a fairly lofty price tag. This looks quite a…

Ascot 1.50 – Mr Lupton   Mr Lupton is carrying a penalty here, hence his pretty decent price, but he might be able to defy it given the likelihood of a breakneck pace, courtesy of Amomentofmadness. Gerald Mosse gave him a beautiful ride at Newbury and should be able to execute similar tactics here.    Ascot 2.25 – Laraaib   Laraaib is a high-risk…

Newmarket 1.50 – Waldstern I loved Waldstern when he won his maiden, and he didn’t do too much wrong against Kadar next time. He is bred to stay well and looks to have a great attitude. This won’t be easy, but I trust this brother to Waldgeist to give a pretty good account. Newmarket 2.25 – Western Australia A slightly nutty selection, given my regard…

UEFA Nations Cup – Group A4 fixture: England and Croatia draw Blank with a 0-0 Result. In strangely eerie settings behind closed doors of the Stadion HNK Rijeka, England, playing in a UEFA Nations clash, failed to exact revenge on WC 2018 finalists Croatia who just 93 days ago had ousted the Three Lions in the semi-finals of the world's premier football tournament in…

Too Darn Hot and Sangarius will have to do something only the legendary Frankel has achieved during the past dozen years if either is to justify their lofty rank in our Dewhurst betting tips. Trained by John Gosden and Sir Michael Stoute respectively, the pair are already attempting to break an Irish stranglehold over the Newmarket Group 1 that has seen just two English-trained…

Following the off-the-dance-floor antics that have populated many newspaper pages and news bulletins over the past week, it will be little surprise to some to see Seann Walsh as the favourite in the next elimination Strictly Come Dancing betting.

Poland’s superb record in competitive home games means that the UEFA Nations League A, Group 3 trip to Stadion Slaski will be a daunting one for Portugal in the continued absence of their embattled ace card, Cristiano Ronaldo. Poland vs Portugal: Odds and Predictions Match betting odds of 17/10 make the Eagles underdogs for victory on their turf, despite them having won nine of…
