class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>El Tri were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw in their Gold Cup opener, and Al Hain-Cole expects another tough game against Loredo's men

Mexico will be determined to get their Gold Cup campaign up and running when they take on Guatemala in Dallas on Wednesday.

El Tri got off to a frustrating start in their opening Group A tie, being held to a goalless draw by Trinidad and Tobago.

Guatemala vs Mexico latest odds

However, Mexico are huge 1/14 (1.07) favourites with bet365 to bounce back by coming out on top at the Cotton Bowl.

Rafael Loredo’s Guatemala were beaten 2-0 by El Salvador in their first game and are lengthy 14/1 (15.00) outsiders to pull off a shock win against the eight-times champions.

The last Gold Cup meeting between this duo resulted in a 0-0 draw back in 2015, and you can get odds of 8/1 (9.00) on them cancelling each other out once again in this one.

Jorge Aparicio and Alejandro Galindo are in the squad after being recalled following suspension for indiscipline, while Kevin Moscoso is available once again following Covid-19.

Hirving Lozano has been ruled out for the rest of the tournament after suffering a serious head injury in the draw with Trinidad and Tobago, with Efrain Alvarez likely to take his position on the left of the front three.

Guatemala vs Mexico preview

Losing the inspirational Lozano in just the 18th minute really set the tone for Gerardo Martino’s team in what became an extremely frustrating 90 minutes against a doggedly defensive opponent.

Unfortunately, they could be in for more of the same against Los Chapines, who are only taking part in this tournament after stepping in for Curacao following a Covid-19 outbreak on the eve of the first match.

Having failed to score in three of their last five matches, it is hard to see the underdogs posing much threat to a defence that has kept seven clean sheets in the last 10 matches.

However, Mexico have developed a habit of struggling to break down stubborn CONCACAF opposition recently, drawing blanks against Costa Rica, Honduras and Trinidad and Tobago within the last six fixtures.

Guatemala vs Mexico predictions

With Guatemala sure to sit deep, odds of 5/6 (1.83) look like solid value on under 3.5 goals being scored for the sixth successive meeting between this pair.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Despite their slow start to the Gold Cup, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Stars and Stripes to ease to victory over Bocaly's out-of-practice team

USA will be hoping to extend their winning start to the Gold Cup when they take on Martinique at Children’s Mercy Park on Thursday.

Gregg Berhalter’s men failed to convince in their opening Group B game against Haiti, running out narrow 1-0 winners in a largely frustrating display.

Martinique vs USA latest odds

Nevertheless, USMNT are overwhelming 1/16 (1.06) favourites with bet365 to make it six points from six by coming out on top in Kansas.

Martinique were beaten 4-1 by Canada in their opener but can be backed at 25/1 (26.00) to pull off a huge upset with a win or 8/1 (9.00) to grind out an impressive draw.

Martinique vs USA team news

Paul Arriola will be assessed after being forced off with a hamstring injury against Haiti, while Reggie Cannon is also doubtful with a hamstring issue that caused him to miss that clash altogether.

The guests are likely to stick with the same line-up that took on Canada, with former France Under-21 striker Emmanuel Riviere leading the line in attack.

Martinique vs USA preview

Having fielded a rather inexperienced XI after allowing their star players a summer break following last month’s CONCACAF Nations League victory, it is perhaps unsurprising that the Stars and Stripes struggled for fluidity in their opener.

However, their teething problems are relatively minor in comparison to Mario Bocaly’s team, which doesn’t take part in FIFA-organised competitions and therefore hadn’t played a game in almost two years prior to the Canada defeat.

It is therefore understandable that the French overseas territory conceded four goals and made numerous sloppy errors in that game, failing to take advantage of Riviere’s early opener.

Another similar display is sure to be punished by a USA team that can only improve with each game, particularly with home advantage on their side.

Martinique vs USA predictions

In fact, odds of 10/11 (1.91) look like solid value on a Martinique squad made up mostly of semi-pro players from the domestic league losing out once again in another match featuring over 3.5 goals.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having struggled for cutting edge in their opening pre-season friendly, Al Hain-Cole expects more frustration for the Gunners against Gerrard's men

Arsenal will be hoping to bounce back from defeat when they travel to Ibrox to take on Rangers in their second pre-season friendly of the summer on Saturday.

The Gunners were surprisingly beaten by Hibs in their opening warm-up game in midweek, going down 2-1 against last season’s third-placed SPL outfit.

Rangers vs Arsenal latest odds

However, Arsenal are 10/11 (1.91)  favourites with bet365 to put that behind them by coming out on top over reigning Scottish champions Rangers.

Steven Gerrard’s men lost 1-0 to League Two side Tranmere Rovers in last weekend’s exhibition match but can be backed at 12/5 (3.40) to raise the spirits with a big win and 11/5 (3.20) to claim a creditable draw.

Rangers vs Arsenal team news

New signing Nuno Tavares should be in line to make his first start since joining from Benfica, while Joe Willock will be assessed after missing the Hibs clash due to a minor injury.

Nikola Katic and Ryan Jack will both face late fitness tests and Alfredo Morelos is still on holiday following his involvement in the Copa America, although Fashion Sakala will be hoping to make his debut after joining from Oostende.

Rangers vs Arsenal preview

Having struggled to find their way past the Hibs defence in a frustrating performance in midweek, Mikel Arteta’s team should be in for an even sterner test on his return to the club where he spent two successful years as a player.

Indeed, the Gers won all 19 of their home games at Ibrox during last season’s unbeaten league campaign, as well as equalling the league record of 26 clean sheets and conceding a record low 13 goals in their 38 SPL fixtures.

However, having started their pre-season with a narrow 1-0 win over Partick Thistle followed by a 1-0 defeat at Tranmere, the hosts may struggle to offer too much in terms of attacking threat themselves.

Rangers vs Arsenal predictions

With neither Rangers nor Arsenal up to full speed yet, odds of 13/10 (2.30) seem like excellent value on them producing under 2.5 goals in another rather unproductive pre-season friendly for both teams.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Rooney's men at a low ebb, Al Hain-Cole expects the Red Devils to ease to victory in their first pre-season friendly at Pride Park on Sunday

Manchester United will be aiming to get their pre-season preparations off to a winning start when they travel to Pride Park to take on Derby County on Sunday.

After finishing second in the Premier League and ending up on the losing side in the Europa League final last season, the Red Devils will be hoping that the upcoming campaign will see them make the step up and claim some silverware.

Derby County vs Manchester United latest odds

Having run out 3-0 winners at this ground in the FA Cup in March 2020, Man Utd are 4/11 (1.36) favourites with bet365 to come out on top once again.

Wayne Rooney’s Derby narrowly escaped relegation from the Championship last season but are on offer at 11/2 (6.50) to earn a much-needed morale boost by pulling off a shock victory against his former club.

Just one of the last nine meetings between this pair has resulted in a draw, but there are odds 10/3 (4.33) available on them cancelling each other out in this one.

Derby County vs Manchester United team news

Free agents Ryan Allsopp, Phil Jagielka, Richard Stearman, Ravel Morrison, Sone Aluko and Sam Baldock are all set to feature for the hosts as they seek to earn contracts at the club, while Curtis Davies should also play despite his contract expiring at the end of last season.

Tom Heaton is in line for his debut after arriving for a second spell at the club, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Axel Tuanzebe, Alex Telles, Brandon Williams and Mason Greenwood the biggest names among a youthful squad.

Derby County vs Manchester United preview

Although they narrowly escaped relegation thanks to a late Martyn Waghorn penalty against Sheffield Wednesday on the final day of last season, the Rams will not begin the upcoming campaign in particularly buoyant spirits.

Having seen a prospective takeover bid fail and with a transfer ban hanging over them, it is hard to see them turning a corner from the form that saw them take just a single point from the last available 21 in the league.

Derby County vs Manchester United predictions

Even without most of their key players, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team looks well worth backing at 20/21 (1.95) to win by at least two clear goals at Derby on Sunday.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both teams in prolific form despite missing some big players, Al Hain-Cole expects plenty of goals between the Canucks and Berhalter's men

USA and Canada will fight it out for first place in Group B when they meet at Children’s Mercy Park in Sunday’s CONCACAF Gold Cup clash.

Both teams are already through to the knockout stages after claiming six points from the first two group games, with the Canucks currently first on goals scored.

USA vs Canada latest odds

However, Canada are 10/3 (4.33) outsiders with bet365 to maintain their superiority by pulling off a first away win over their rivals since 1957, and priced at 12/5 (3.40) to earn a valuable point.

Gregg Berhalter’s USA side followed up an edgy 1-0 opening win over Haiti by thrashing Martinique 6-1 in their last outing and are 17/20 (1.85) favourites to make it three wins from three in Kansas City.

USA vs Canada team news

Reggie Cannon will be assessed after missing the Martinique game due to hamstring tendonitis, while Paul Arriola was also ruled out with a minor hamstring injury.

Doneil Henry was called into the back three for Canada’s second group game against Haiti, with Alistair Johnston moving into midfield.

USA vs Canada preview

Despite missing star men Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David, John Herdman’s team has lit the tournament up with eight goals from their opening two matches – more than any other team in the competition.

While question marks remain over their backline after conceding against both Martinique and Haiti, they will back themselves to cause plenty of problems for a Stars and Stripes team that has called up a less experienced squad mainly consisting of MLS players.

While the lack of big names, such as Christian Pulisic and Gio Reyna, did seem to hold them back in a frustrating opening game against Haiti, the host nation clicked into gear with their 6-1 thrashing of Martinique last time out.

USA vs Canada tips & predictions

With both teams in confident form in attack, odds of 11/10 (2.10) therefore seem generous on over 2.5 goals being scored for USA’s fourth game in five, as well as an eighth fixture in nine for Canada.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Boasting a strong record against La Selecta, Al Hain-Cole is backing Martino's men to seal top spot in their Gold Cup group with a comfortable win

Mexico will be hoping to leapfrog El Salvador into top spot when the sides meet at the Cotton Bowl in Sunday’s CONCACAF Gold Cup clash.

El Tri are currently second in Group A after taking four points from their opening two games, following up a disappointing draw against Trinidad & Tobago with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Guatemala.

Mexico vs El Salvador latest odds

Having won each of their last seven matches against this opposition, Mexico are clear 2/7 (1.29) favourites with bet365 to secure first place by coming out on top in Dallas.

Hugo Perez’s El Salvador team have begun the tournament with successive 2-0 victories against Trinidad & Tobago and Guatemala but are 9/1 (10.00) outsiders to extend that winning streak against the record 11-times champions.

Just one of the previous 37 encounters between this duo has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 9/2 (5.50) on them cancelling each other out in this one.

Mexico vs El Salvador team news

Rogelio Funes Mori is set to lead the line once again after scoring his second and third international goals in three appearances against Guatemala, while Orbelin Pineda is likely to continue in attack in place of the injured Hirving Lozano.

The underdogs are likely to stick with the same line-up that overcame Trinidad & Tobago last time out, when midfielder Jairo Henriquez notched his first international goal.

Mexico vs El Salvador preview

Having failed to capitalise on their dominance in the frustrating goalless opener against Trinidad &  Tobago, Gerardo Martino’s men did not allow the same thing to happen twice in an impressive 3-0 victory over Guatemala.

They will be confident of finishing the group stage on a high against an opponent they have beaten in each of the last seven meetings – scoring 22 goals and conceding just four.

Indeed, while La Selecta have performed well against the less formidable CONCACAF nations recently, they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Qatar just before the tournament began and were thrashed 6-0 by USA last December.

Mexico vs El Salvador tips & predictions

All in all, odds of 5/6 (1.83) offer solid value on Mexico proving their superiority and beating El Salvador by at least two clear goals in Texas on Sunday.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both teams in disarray coming into the clash, Al Hain-Cole doesn't expect many goals when the Bhoys welcome Henriksen's men to Celtic Park

Ange Postecoglou will be hoping to get his Celtic career off to a winning start when his side welcome Midtjylland to Glasgow for Tuesday’s Champions League second-round qualification clash.

The Australian was a shock appointment at Celtic Park in the summer, brought in to replace Neil Lennon following an impressive spell in charge of Japanese side Yokohama F. Marinos.

Celtic vs Midtjylland latest odds

With many fans yet to be convinced, Celtic can be backed at 11/10 (2.10) with bet365 to give Postecoglou an early chance to start proving the doubters wrong by overseeing an important win in his first competitive match at the helm.

Midtjylland qualified for the Champions League group stage for the first time in their history last season but are 12/5 (3.40) to take a major step towards repeating that feat by coming out on top here.

The guests secured impressive draws against Atalanta and Liverpool in their last two group games last campaign and can be backed at 12/5 (3.40) to grind out a stalemate in this one.

Celtic vs Midtjylland team news

Kristoffer Ajer is not in the squad as he closes in on a move to Brentford, while Olivier Ntcham has also not been included and Christopher Jullien is injured.

Aral Simsir is absent after testing positive for coronavirus and Nicolas Madsen will face a late fitness test, while Jens Cajuste, Awer Mabil and Sory Kaba are all doubts as they seek moves away from the club.

Celtic vs Midtjylland preview

With both teams having changed managers and having to deal with uncertainty over wantaway players, it seems overly optimistic to expect a particularly free-flowing game between two fluid sides.

Having failed to score in their last two pre-season friendly matches against Bristol City and Preston, the Bhoys certainly don’t look in great shape as they look to qualify for the Champions League group phase for the first time since 2017.

What’s more, Bo Henriksen’s men fell to a shock defeat away to Odense in their opening league game on Friday with Kaba a major loss in attack as the only player to break double figures in the league for goals last season.

Celtic vs Midtjylland tips & predictions

All in all, even money (2.00) seems generous on no more than one of Celtic or Midtjylland finding the net in a scrappy game.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With their preparations for the Olympics having been disrupted, Al Hain-Cole expects Team GB to struggle to get up and running against Letelier’s side

Team GB will begin their quest for Olympic gold when they take on Chile at the Sapporo Dome on Wednesday.

Hege Riise’s team are taking part in this tournament for only the second time, having qualified thanks to England securing one of the top three places among European teams at the 2019 World Cup.

Great Britain vs Chile latest odds

Knocked out in the quarter-finals at London 2012, Team GB are 1/8 (1.13) favourites with bet365 to get this campaign off to a winning start in Japan.

Chile are taking part in their first ever Olympics after beating Cameroon in the intercontinental play-offs and are 18/1 (19.00) outsiders to make it a debut to remember by pulling off a shock victory.

Two of the South Americans’ last three matches have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 7/1 (8.00) on them earning a creditable point here.

19 of the 22 woman squad are English, with Wales’ Sophie Ingle completing the selection alongside Kim Little and Caroline Weir of Scotland.

Goalkeeper Christiane Endler is the biggest star for Jose Letelier’s side, having been selected in the UEFA Women’s Champions League Squad of the Season for the past two campaigns.

Great Britain vs Chile preview

While able to call upon a star-studded squad that includes Best FIFA Women’s Player Lucy Bronze, PFA and FWA Player of the Year Fran Kirby and World Cup 2019 bronze boot winner Ellen White, Riise has not had much opportunity to get the team prepared for this competition.

Indeed, last week’s behind-closed-doors friendly victory over New Zealand was the Norwegian coach’s first game in charge of a team that had never previously played together, with Covid-19 restrictions disrupting other scheduled fixtures.

In contrast, the Chile team are made up of players that have played alongside each other to great effect over the past five years, a period that has seen many of the women benefit from the domestic league’s increasing professionalisation.

Great Britain vs Chile predictions

Having held 2016 Olympic gold medallists Germany to a 0-0 draw in last month’s friendly, odds of 21/20 (2.05) could offer decent value on them frustrating Team GB in a match featuring under 2.5 goals.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having shared a number of closely-fought encounters, Al Hain-Cole expects a tight match between the Stars and Stripes and Gerhardsson's side

USA will be out for revenge when they take on Sweden in their opening Olympics group game at the Ajinomoto Stadium on Wednesday.

Winners of four gold medals and one silver at the previous four tournaments, the USWNT fell to a shock quarter-final defeat against this opposition at the 2016 Games in Brazil.

Sweden vs USWNT latest odds

Having picked up their fourth World Cup trophy since that defeat, USWNT are 4/11 (1.36) favourites with bet365 to put that disappointment to bed by coming out on top in Tokyo.

Peter Gerhardsson’s Sweden team went on to secure a silver medal in 2016 but are 13/2 (7.50) outsiders to get this tournament off to a winning start against the world champions.

That quarter-final was decided on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Brasilia, and you can get odds of 3/1 (4.00) on this clash also finishing up all square.

The USWNT squad includes 17 of the players that lifted the 2019 World Cup, with the players averaging over 100 international caps apiece.

Nine of the 2016 team that defeated this opposition are included in the Sweden squad, with captain and all-time 215-cap holder Caroline Seger looking to lead by example.

Sweden vs USWNT preview

Although heavy favourites to go on and win their fifth Olympic gold medal this summer, Vlatko Andonovski’s side will know not to underestimate their opponents in Wednesday’s opener.

This pair are extremely familiar with one another after meeting six times in the World Cup and twice at the Olympic Games, playing each other 15 times over the course of the last decade.

While the Americans have a slight edge over that period with seven wins to their opponents’ six, April’s 1-1 draw against Sweden is the only match they have failed to win since January 2019.

Sweden vs USWNT tips & predictions

With seven of the eight most recent meetings being decided by one goal or fewer, odds of 4/5 (1.80) offer solid value on these foes producing under 2.5 goals for the eighth meeting in nine in another closely-fought clash.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Kane and other big names still missing, Al Hain-Cole doesn't expect Spurs to be up to full speed when they take on Mullins' team

Nuno Espirito Santo will be hoping to oversee his first win as Tottenham manager when his side travel to Colchester United in Wednesday’s friendly clash.

The former Wolves boss was denied a debut victory by Leyton Orient on Saturday, with his team held to a 1-1 draw by the League Two club.

Colchester vs Tottenham latest odds

However, Spurs are clear 1/6 (1.17) favourites with bet365 to secure their first win of the new regime by coming out on top at the Colchester Community Stadium.

Colchester lost  2-1 and 2-0 in two 60-minute mini matches against Watford at the weekend but can be backed at 11/1 (12.00) to give themselves a major morale boost by pulling off a shock win against their Premier League visitors.

The hosts recorded a memorable penalty shootout victory over this opposition in 2019’s Carabao Cup clash, and there are odds of 11/2 (6.50) available on them holding out for another stalemate in this one.

Heung-min Son has joined up with a squad that is still awaiting the likes of Hugo Lloris, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Harry Kane following their involvement in the Euros, with 17-year-old Dane Scarlett likely to start up front once again after scoring against Orient.

New signings Luke Chambers, Cameron Coxe, Luke Hannant, Cole Skuse, Alan Judge and Freddie Sears will all be looking to impress manager Hayden Mullins in their first 90-minute match since arriving this summer.

Colchester vs Tottenham preview

With a number of key players missing due to their participation in the European Championship and Copa America, it was probably no surprise that Spurs were not firing on all cylinders in their first match of the summer last weekend.

While a few more days of training under their new manager will have helped, the absence of Kane and Co. will once again make a free-flowing display unlikely as Nuno offers run-outs to a number of young players.

Colchester vs Tottenham tips & predictions

Having given Watford a decent challenge in both of their mini matches, odds of 4/5 (1.80) seem like solid value on Colchester ensuring under 3.5 goals against an under-strength Tottenham.
