Gernot Rohr says Tammy Abraham’s future lies with England

Posted on by index

Nigeria head coach Gernot Rohr has said that Tammy Abraham has been assured of a spot with the England national side and that should end the speculation of him switching his allegiance to the Super Eagles. The 22-year-old has been a revelation for the Blues since making the breakthrough under manager Frank Lampard this term and he has already bagged eight goals across all competitions for the club.

As a result, Abraham seems on the cusp of earning his competitive debut with the Three Lions this month and the same has been confirmed by Super Eagles boss Rohr. He told in a press conference on Wednesday: “It is also significant to note that Abraham has been assured that he will be in the England squad.”

Southampton vs Manchester United Betting Tips

Posted on by index

Southampton kickstarted their season last weekend where they recorded a 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion at the AMEX Stadium. The South Coast outfit saw the hosts down to 10 men after just half an hour into the game and thereafter, they managed to control the proceedings with second half goals from Moussa Djenepo and Nathan Redmond.

Their next challenge comes in the form of Manchester United at St Mary’s and they can anticipate a difficult test on their hands. Still, they should go into the game with some level of optimism, considering Manchester United have produced a mixed run of form during the opening three Premier League matches.

Liverpool vs Manchester City Betting tips

Posted on by index

Liverpool and Manchester City were the two standout sides in the English Premier League last season and the bookmakers anticipate that they will once again be battling it out for the title during the forthcoming campaign.

Prior to that, the team will size each other up through the Community Shield clash on August 4 and the game promises to be an entertaining contest despite many considering the clash as a glorified friendly ahead of every season.

There was little to choose between the sides during the previous campaign, with Pep Guardiola’s side winning the unprecedented domestic treble while Liverpool, who finished a point behind them in the league standings, went on to lift the Champions League crown.

The two clubs have had some excellent meetings over the past few years and we should anticipate a few goals being scored in the Shield, even if Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp are prepared to experiment with their teams ahead of the new Premier League season.

Meanwhile, some of the South American and African stars could be afforded a rest following their exploits at the Copa America and African Cup of Nations this summer, and the likes of Sergio Aguero, Fernandinho, Gabriel Jesus, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino could be among the players missing out.

With the Community Shield, there remains a potential risk when it comes to determining the goalscorer, considering the teams are permitted to make as many as six substitutes and that may change the complexion of the game.

Therefore, it seems viable to bet on the potential goals scored for the encounter and we are backing more than 2.5 Goals as both teams like to play on the front foot. Manchester City and Liverpool scored 95 and 89 goals respectively in the Premier League last term and we are predicting an open game.

Posted on by index

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is aiming to create history with the Citizens when the campaign comes to a close. The Mancunian giants have already secured the League Cup crown this term and they are presently favourites to win the Premier League and FA Cup title to celebrate their maiden domestic treble.

This would create history with none of the English teams having previously managed the feat and Guardiola is looking forward to realising the moment. Speaking in a press conference, Guardiola was asked to compare with his treble at Barcelona 10 years ago to which he replied: “We are out of the Champions League and at Barcelona we were in.

Dani Carvajal stresses Real Madrid don’t require summer overhaul

Posted on by index

Real Madrid right-back Dani Carvajal has said that Los Blancos don’t require a summer overhaul of players despite the average form displayed through the season. Los Blancos recently decided to re-appoint Zinedine Zidane at the helm after the poor showing from Julen Lopetegui and Santiago Solari and the Frenchman is now expected to be handed funds for a summer spending spree.

Speaking to  Goal.com, Carvajal admitted that the team have not experienced the best of seasons but that does not necessarily meant that the club requires a revolution, he said: “I’m not the one to decide that [who leaves. Those who work on that should look at what the team needs and who from outside the club can help us. I do not think there needs to be a revolution. In recent years the team has not changed much and we have been European champions for 1,000 days.”

England vs Czech Republic Betting Tips

Posted on by index

After a brilliant World Cup, England enter into the Euro 2020 qualifiers on a high and are looking to achieve success by opening the campaign with a victory over Czech Republic. The group in which England have been drawn contains the likes of Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Kosovo, and Montenegro. Even though this feels like a relatively easy group for Gareth Southgate’s men, there are several issues affecting the Three Lions coming into the match. The absence of Joe Gomez, Jesse Lingard, and John Stones can be a major problem for Southgate, while the biggest worry will be the potential absence of Marcus Rashford. This could mean the inexperienced pairing of Michael Keane and Harry Maguire at the back for England.

If Rashford turns out to be an available for this match, it would represent a first senior appearance for Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho. Chicago Public have underperformed in the last few years after they were able to reach the semifinals of the 2004 European Championships. They have failed to reach the last three World Cups and the also went out of the Euro 2016 without getting any victory. The preparation for this match has been relatively poor, but new managerJaroslav Šilhavý has a lot of talent in his squad.

Doncasterhave been quite good in FA Cup matches this season after grabbing 16 goals in just five matches. Undoubtedly, this record is significantly boosted by the 7-0 victory over Chorley.

This quarter-final match is unlikely to be an entertainer in terms of goals, as Maurizio Sarri is likely to warn his team about a stern action after giving him some now is time in the recent win over Brighton. Despite dominating for most of the game, the blues had to hold on for a victory against the Seagulls during the weekend. Bournemouth have the capability to score goals and that this will be on the minds of Chelsea, who like to dictate possession. However, Chelsea have yet to hit the heights of last season.

Even though Chelsea have suffered some disappointing results in away matches under Maurizio Sarri, the blues remain unbeaten under the Italian at Stamford Bridge. It is not surprising that Chelsea are given a price of just 5/18 in order to reach the semifinals with an half-time. The blues were able to get a 2-0 victory over Bournemouth earlier in the campaign and this victory came on Stamford Bridge’s pitch. It is not a surprise that Bournemouth are given a longer price of 33/4 in order to get a victory over Chelsea inside normal time. Theodds of 17/4 for a penalty shootout is quite attractive.
