Eagles vs Chiefs MNF Prop Bets: Rice Erupts in Prime Time

Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone hopes to cause Manchester United vertigo when his team travel to Old Trafford for the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie on Tuesday.

The first leg at the Wanda Metropolitano three weeks ago ended 1-1 after a late equaliser from substitute Anthony Elanga cancelled out Joao Felix s first-half header.

Atletico have lost their last two away trips to face English sides in the Champions League, losing at Chelsea in 2020-21 and Liverpool this season without scoring a goal in either.

They have also not kept a clean sheet in any of their eight away games against English teams in the competition, conceding 14 goals overall, but Simeone believes United could struggle as the home team. 

We will press high…

Looking to gain some perfect momentum heading into the summer, Switzerland will welcome the USA to St. Gallen on Sunday night for a friendly showdown.

Switzerland

Starting with the hosts, while Switzerland might have endured a nightmare two-month run of form between October and November of last year, The Reds have bounced back in some style. Looking to keep the mood in their camp at a real high before they open this summer s European Championships against Wales on June 12th, Rossocrociati will fancy their chances of potentially causing an upset on foreign soil. Only continuing to build off of that deserved 1-1 draw against former world champions Spain last year, Vladimir Petković s side have won each of their last four matchups across…

Ashley Young was Inter s inspiration with a goal and an assist as Antonio Conte s men concluded their 2019-20 Serie A campaign by beating Atalanta 2-0 on the road, in turn securing a second-place finish.

Any one of Inter, their hosts and Lazio could have clinched the runner-up spot behind champions Juventus on Saturday, but the Nerazzurri – who were second going into the final round of fixtures – produced a professional and clinical display away to an Atalanta side that were nowhere near their exhilarating best.

Just 50 seconds had elapsed before Danilo D Ambrosio gave Inter the lead from a pinpoint Young delivery, before the former Manchester United captain scored a gorgeous goal to put Inter in complete control.

Atalanta – reportedly missing star man Josi…

Ronald Koeman plans to adopt a more attacking style of play with the Netherlands than the one established by his predecessor Louis van Gaal.

The Oranje reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar under Van Gaal, but criticisms were directed to a style of football that was perceived to be negative.

A five-man defensive line proved to be miserly, conceding just twice in the first four matches of the tournament, but fans wanted more creative output from a side that boasted the likes of Memphis Depay and Cody Gakpo.

The Netherlands venture in Qatar came to an end against Argentina in a shoot-out defeat, having fought back from a two-goal deficit in a game that marked the final stand of Van Gaal s third spell at the helm.

A similar approach will not b…

Atletico Madrid centre-back Stefan Savic has signed a new deal with the Spanish champions, agreeing to extend his stay with the club until June 2024.

Montenegro international Savic has spent the past six seasons with Atletico and played a big part in last term s LaLiga title triumph.

The defender featured 42 times in all competitions in 2020-21 and started 33 of Atleti s 38 league games as Diego Simeone s squad won the title for the second time in seven years.

Atletico kept a clean sheet in 16 of those matches and won 24 of them for a win rate of 72.7 per cent, compared to 40 per cent in the five games Savic did not play a part in.

Since making his LaLiga debut in August 2015, no defender has helped their side to more clean sheets in the division than t…

The defending German champions have already made offers to Christensen, who is now free to agree a pre-contract with any team outside England.

Christensen is one of the best central defenders in …

Ronald Koeman s first squad in his second stint as Netherlands coach included five uncapped players as Georginio Wijnaldum returned to the fold but Ryan Gravenberch was not selected.

Koeman, who was previously Oranje coach between 2018 and 2020, replaced Louis van Gaal following last year s World Cup in Qatar.

The Netherlands face France and Gibraltar in qualifying for Euro 2024 in Koeman s first two matches after returning to the post.

And the returning coach could hand debuts to Sven Botman and Brian Brobbey, who have impressed this season for Newcastle United and Ajax respectively.

Both players were called up previously under Van Gaal without appearing.

Koeman has also drafted in Anderlecht s Bart Verbruggen and Feyenoord pair Lutsharel Geertru…

Robert Lewandowski expressed his desire for Lionel Messi to return to Barcelona ahead of next season.

Club legend Messi left Barcelona in 2020, after financial issues at the club prevented the renewal of his deal, and joined Paris Saint-Germain.

Messi s contract in the French capital runs out in June and an exit seems increasingly likely, particularly after his name was booed by some fans during the recent Ligue 1 defeat to Lyon – with supporters venting their frustration at the club s policy of signing big-name players without yielding results in the Champions League.

A return to Camp Nou has often been touted and Lewandowski, who joined the club last year from Bayern Munich, wants to play alongside Messi next season.

Messi belongs to Barca and if he …

The Serbian striker had put the hosts ahead after just three minutes with a header from the centre of the box, having met Ruben Neves deep cross from the right.

Mitrovic doubled Al-Hilal s lead from the spot just 11 minutes later after Abdulelah Al Amri brought Renan Lodi down in the area.

Al-Hilal increased the deficit to three before half-time as Salem Al Dawsari added to the scoreline in the 36th minute, receiving down the left from Neves once more before driving clear in the box and finishing coo…
