class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With more competitive football under their belts and a strong home record, Goal expect the team from Sweden to prove tough opposition for the Gers

Rangers will be hoping to take a step towards Champions League qualification when they travel to Eleda Stadion to take on Malmo on Tuesday.

After lifting their first Scottish title in a decade last season, Steven Gerrard’s men are now hoping to qualify for the Champions League group stages for the first time since 2010.

Malmo vs Rangers latest odds

Having lost just two of their last 56 competitive fixtures in all competitions, Rangers are 21/20 (2.05) favourites with bet365 to take the upper hand in this tie by coming out on top in Sweden.

The Sky Blue have failed to reach the group stages since 2015 despite losing none of their last 10 qualification matches, but are available at 5/2 (3.50) to move one step closer to qualification with a victory here.

The sides shared a 1-1 draw at this ground when they met here back in a qualifier in 2011, and you can get odds of 12/5 (3.40) on them playing out a stalemate once again.

Malmo vs Rangers team news

Ianis Hagi is a doubt after limping off in Saturday’s 3-0 win over Livingston, while Glen Kamara and Kemar Roofe are suspended and Alfredo Morelos is currently in Covid-19 quarantine following his return from Colombia.

Ola Toivonen is the hosts’ only absentee, as he continues in his recovery from a long-term knee injury.

Malmo vs Rangers preview

While they started the new domestic season as they finished the last with a thoroughly dominant victory over Livingston, the Gers will face a significant step up in this crucial European game.

With a number of key players absent through injury and suspension, they will need to be at the top of their game as they face the Swedish champions.

Jon Dahl Tomasson’s team is currently enjoying a six-match winning streak on home turf and has significantly more competitive match practice under its belt as the Allsvenskan is currently approaching the half-way stage.

Malmo vs Rangers predictions

With this in mind, odds of 8/11 (1.73) seem fairly generous on Malmo at least avoiding defeat against a Rangers team that has not played at this level in a decade.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having beaten Arsenal with a youthful line-up, Al Hain-Cole expects Tuchel's reinforced team to prove too strong for a Spurs side missing Kane

Chelsea will be hoping to round off their pre-season preparations with a win when they welcome Tottenham to Stamford Bridge in Wednesday’s Mind Series clash.

The Blues have enjoyed a positive summer so far, beating Bournemouth before overcoming Arsenal last time out.

Chelsea vs Tottenham latest odds

With a European Super Cup coming up next, Chelsea are 7/10 (1.70) favourites with bet365 to record another morale-boosting friendly win over Premier League opposition.

Nuno Espirito Santo has overseen victories over Colchester and MK Dons since the 1-1 draw with Leyton Orient in his first match in charge, and Tottenham are available at 16/5 (4.20) to make a strong statement by coming out on top here.

Two of the last three encounters between this duo have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 14/5 (3.80) on them cancelling each other out in this one.

Chelsea vs Tottenham team news

Ben Chilwell, Reece James, Emerson, Jorginho and Mason Mount have returned to training this week following their involvement in the Euro 2020 final, while Andreas Christensen, Thiago Silva, Ethan Ampadu and Cesar Azpilicueta will also be hoping for their first run-outs of pre-season.

Harry Kane’s status is up in the air after he reportedly failed to return to training as he seeks a move away, although Giovani Lo Celso and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg could be available after rejoining the squad.

Chelsea vs Tottenham preview

Although they may have got a couple of wins under their belts without Kane this summer, his continued absence has started to cast a dark cloud over Spurs’ pre-season preparations.

It is certainly not an ideal backdrop for this high-profile warm-up clash against their local rivals, who come into the game in high spirits after lifting the Champions League last season and with all the talk of big incoming transfers rather than outgoing.

Even without any arrivals, Thomas Tuchel’s almost full-strength squad should have enough quality to overcome a weakened Tottenham – particularly given their victory over Arsenal just days ago without many first-team players.

Chelsea vs Tottenham tips & predictions

Indeed, those 7/10 (1.70) odds seem like solid value on the hosts heading into their upcoming European Super League clash on the back of a third successive pre-season win.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having cancelled each other out in the group stage, Al Hain-Cole doesn't expect many goals when the Matildas take on Andonovski's side in Kashima

Australia will be hoping to secure their first ever Olympic medal in soccer when they take on the USA in Thursday’s bronze medal match.

The Matildas are already enjoying their breakthrough tournament despite a narrow 1-0 semi-final defeat to Sweden, having never previously made it past the quarter-finals.

Australia vs USA latest odds

Already on a high, Australia can be backed at 7/2 (4.50) with bet365 to go one step further by coming out on top against the record four-times gold medallists.

Vlatko Andonovski’s USA side have failed to reach the final for the second time in a row after five successive appearances but are available at 8/11 (1.73) to salvage some pride by coming out on top at the Kashima Soccer Stadium.

This pair played out a tight 0-0 draw when they met in the group stage, and you can get odds of 11/4 (3.75) on them taking this game into extra-time following another stalemate.

Australia vs USA team news

Ellie Carpenter is suspended due to the red card she picked up for a professional foul in the dying stages of the Sweden match.

Goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher has been ruled out after suffering a knee injury that forced her off in the first half of the quarter-final defeat to Canada.

Australia vs USA preview

Although they will have been disappointed to lose out to Sweden despite putting in a strong performance and having a goal controversially ruled out with the score still at 0-0, Tony Gustavsson’s team will be confident of bouncing back despite the calibre of opposition.

It is safe to say that the USWNT have not been anywhere near their usual standards at this summer’s games, with their only win in normal time in five matches coming against underdogs New Zealand.

Indeed, the world champions almost seemed more concerned with shutting Sam Kerr and Co. down when the teams met in the group stage, putting in a surprisingly passive performance to draw 0-0.

Australia vs USA tip & predictions

Should they step out with a similar game plan on Thursday, even money (2.00) will look like excellent value on under 2.5 goals being scored for a second match in succession for both USA and Australia.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Looking shaky at the back under Postecoglou, Al Hain-Cole expects the Hoops to ensure plenty of goals once again when they take on Rada's team

Celtic will be desperate for a morale-boosting victory when they travel to the Stadion Strelnice to take on Jablonec in Thursday’s Europa League qualifier.

Ange Postecoglou has endured a difficult start to life at Celtic Park, overseeing Champions League elimination to Midtjylland and a defeat to Hearts in his opening SPL clash.

Jablonec vs Celtic latest odds

However, Celtic can be backed at 17/20 (1.85) with bet365 to finally get up and running this season with an important victory in the Czech Republic.

Jablonec have only made it past the qualification rounds of this competition once in nine previous attempts but are available at 14/5 (3.80) to put one foot in the next stage with a victory, or 13/5 (3.60) to grind out a draw.

TV channel, live stream & how to watch

BBC Scotland BBC iPlayer

The game is being shown live on BBC Scotland in the United Kingdom (UK). The BBC iPlayer will be streaming the game live online.

Jablonec vs Celtic team news

Veteran 39-year-old captain Tomas Hubschman is likely to settle for a place on the bench, while Martin Dolezal is the danger man in attack for the home team.

New signings Joe Hart and James McCarthy will hope to be involved after joining this week and Nir Bitton is available once again following suspension, although Christopher Jullien is injured and Leigh Griffiths doubtful.

Jablonec vs Celtic preview

While Bitton’s return and Hart’s arrival will bring some extra experience to the backline, defensive performances so far this season have left a lot to be desired regardless of the names on the team sheet.

Having kept just one clean sheet in four pre-season friendlies – including a chastening 6-2 defeat to West Ham – the Hoops saw their Champions League aspirations derailed by two sloppy performances against Midtjylland and looked shaky against Hearts at the weekend.

This does not bode well for the trip to face a Jablonec side that only failed to find the net in two of their 19 home games last season, averaging exactly two goals per league game in their own backyard.

Jablonec vs Celtic predictions

Nevertheless, Celtic will at least back themselves to maintain their streak of scoring in all of their competitive matches under their new boss, making odds of 5/6 (1.83) seem like a decent bet on both teams getting on target in another free-scoring Europa League encounter.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having proved watertight at the back so far, Al Hain-Cole is backing Moriyasu’s side to ensure a closely fought bronze medal clash against El Tri

Hosts Japan will be hoping to secure their first ever Olympic medal in men’s soccer when they take on Mexico at the Saitama Stadium 2002 in Friday’s bronze medal match.

Hajime Moriyasu’s side have already equalled their best ever performance at this tournament, reaching the semi-final stage for the second time after London 2012.

Mexico vs Japan latest odds

Defeated by South Korea in the bronze medal match on that occasion, Japan can be backed at 17/10 (2.70) with bet365 to go one better by coming out on top here.

Mexico’s only previous medal remains the gold they won in surprise circumstances in 2012 but they are available at 8/5 (3.60) to add a bronze to their collection with a victory.

Both of these sides held out for 90 minutes in their respective semi-final defeats to Spain and Brazil, and you can get odds of 11/5 (3.20) on them remaining all square after 90 minutes once again.

Mexico vs Japan team news

Takehiro Tomiyasu is available once again after missing the Spain semi-final due to suspension, with Ko Itakura likely to drop out in defence.

Jorge Sanchez is also back from suspension after missing the Brazil defeat and will be hoping to take the left-back spot ahead of Alberto Angulo.

Mexico vs Japan preview

Tomiyasu’s return will add further steel to a backline that has already proved the tournament’s best so far this summer, conceding just twice in five matches so far.

Having held out until the 115th minute against Spain without their first-choice centre-back, they will certainly back themselves to make life very difficult for a team they overcame 2-1 in the group stage.

Jaime Lozano’s men struggled for cutting edge in their semi-final against Brazil, albeit demonstrating admirable resilience to take the match all the way to penalties in a closely-fought goalless stalemate.

Mexico vs Japan tips & predictions

With an Olympic medal at stake, even money (2.00) seems generous on this match proving equally tight and Japan ensuring under 2.5 goals for their third match in a row when they take on Mexico.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having consistently found a route to victory at these Olympics, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Blue and Yellow to claim gold ahead of Priestman's side

Sweden and Canada will go head-to-head for Olympic gold when they meet at the International Stadium in Yokohama in Friday’s final.

The Blue and Yellow will be hoping to go one step further than Brazil 2016, when they went home with a silver medal after losing out to Germany in the final.

Sweden vs Canada latest odds

Having won all five of their matches en route to this final, Sweden are 10/11 (1.91) favourites with bet365 to come out on top in Tokyo.

Bev Priestman’s Canada team have collected bronze at each of the last two Olympics but can be backed at 7/2 (4.50) to secure gold with a victory here.

Three of Canada’s five matches at this tournament have resulted in draws after normal time, and you can get odds of 11/5 (3.20) on them taking this final into extra-time after another deadlock.

Sweden vs Canada team news

Peter Gerhardsson has named the same line-up for each of the last two knockout stage matches and is not expecting to make any changes for this clash.

Goalkeeper Stephanie Labbe is yet to concede in the knockout stages, while veteran captain Christine Sinclair will be hoping to add to her world record 187 international goals as she leads the line.

Sweden vs Canada preview

Having ground out goalless draws with the Czech Republic and Brazil in their final pre-tournament warm-up games, it is perhaps not surprising that the Canadians have specialised in shutting opponents down in Japan.

Indeed, they progressed from the group after earning draws against hosts Japan and a star-studded Great Britain team before getting past Brazil on penalties and then edging out neighbours USA 1-0 in the semis.

However, they will be up against it to pull off a similar feat against the Swedes, who have demonstrated an unerring ability to overcome whatever challenge put in front of them – whether it be a convincing 3-0 victory over world champions USA or a narrow 1-0 semi-final win against a stubborn Australian outfit.

Sweden vs Canada tips & predictions

Enjoying a 17-match unbeaten streak and having knocked Canada out of the last World Cup, Sweden certainly look worth those 10/11 (1.91) odds to find a way to victory in the final.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both Parker's men and the Baggies looking exciting in pre-season, Al Hain-Cole expects plenty of goalmouth action at the Vitality Stadium

Bournemouth and West Brom will be looking to make a winning start to the Championship season when they meet at the Vitality Stadium in Friday’s opening clash.

Both of these sides are among the pre-season favourites for promotion, with the newly-appointed Scott Parker having guided Fulham to the top flight in his only previous full season at this level.

Bournemouth vs West Brom latest odds

After overseeing a 5-0 EFL Cup win over MK Dons in his competitive debut at the helm, the former England international’s Bournemouth side are available at 13/10 (2.30) with bet365 to kick off the league campaign with a victory.

Relegated from the Premier League last season, West Brom can be backed at 11/5 (3.20) to make a statement of intent by coming out on top on the south coast in their first game.

Just one of the last nine meetings between this duo has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 9/4 (3.25) on them cancelling each other out in this one.

Arnaud Danjuma has failed to make an appearance in pre-season friendlies as speculation over his future hots up, while Lewis Cook is injured and Chris Mepham suspended.

Last season’s star man Matheus Pereira is on the verge of leaving for Al Hilal, although new signings Alex Mowatt, Matt Clarke and Adam Reach are in contention for debuts.

Bournemouth vs West Brom preview

Having replaced Jonathan Woodgate following the disappointing play-off capitulation against Brentford, Parker looks set to employ the same aesthetically-pleasing style that made him a hit at Fulham.

If the pre-season and last weekend’s 5-0 win over MK Dons is anything to go by, the Cherries should enjoy plenty of goalmouth action over the coming campaign.

Similarly, Valerien Ismael won plaudits for his high pressing game during an impressive season with Barnsley and will expect his new players to start on the front foot at the Vitality Stadium.

Bournemouth vs West Brom tips & predictions

Having scored four goals in their final pre-season friendly versus fellow Championship side Birmingham, West Brom look well worth even money (2.00) odds to help ensure over 2.5 goals in an exciting opener against Bournemouth.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With neither side finding consistency in front of goal at these Olympics, Al Hain-Cole expects a tight final between the Jardine's men and La Rojita

Brazil will be hoping to retain their Olympic gold medal when they take on Spain in Saturday’s final at the Nissan Stadium.

Having taken gold for the first time in their history on home soil five years ago, the Selecao’s impressive squad have certainly justified their billing as pre-tournament favourites this summer.

Brazil vs Spain latest odds

Indeed, Brazil are priced at 6/4 (2.50) with bet365 to deliver the top prize once again by coming out on top in Yokohama.

Taking part in the final for the first time since 2000, Luis de la Fuente’s Spain team are priced at 21/10 (3.10) to claim the second gold in their nation’s history with a win here.

Both of these teams went into extra-time after failing to secure victory within 90 minutes in the semis, and there are odds of 15/8 (2.88) available on them playing out another draw in this game.

Brazil vs Spain team news

Matheus Cunha will face a late fitness test after missing the semi-final against Egypt due to injury, with Paulinho ready to take his place once again should he fail to recover.

Marcos Asensio will be pushing to start after coming off the bench to score the extra-time winner over Japan in the last round.

Brazil vs Spain preview

Despite the eye-catching array of attacking and creative talent on display in both of these squads, neither has been able to find much consistency in front of goal on their way to this final.

Having opened their tournament by scoring three times within the first 30 minutes of their match against Germany, Andre Jardine’s champions have only found the net four times in their last four matches coming into this clash.

Meanwhile, La Rojita have scored one goal or fewer in four of their five matches at these games, with the 5-2 extra-time victory over the Ivory Coast a notable exception.

Brazil vs Spain tips & predictions

With so much at stake and both teams likely to set up rather conservatively, odds of 4/5 (1.80) look like solid value on no more than one of Brazil or Spain getting on target in a tight match that features under 2.5 goals.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the Foxes missing some key defenders, Al Hain-Cole expects a high-scoring Community Shield clash against Guardiola's men at Wembley on Saturday

Leicester City and Manchester City will raise the curtain on the new season when they meet at Wembley in Saturday’s Community Shield clash.

The Foxes lifted the FA Cup for the first time in their history last season, although did suffer the disappointment of dropping out of the Champions League qualification places on the final day of the Premier League season.

Leicester City vs Manchester City latest odds

However, Leicester are available at 3/1 (4.00) with bet365 to begin the new campaign on a high by coming out on top against the champions.

Pep Guardiola’s Man City side also endured a mixed season after winning the Premier League and Carabao Cup but losing out in the Champions League final, although they are clear 17/20 (1.85) favourites to pick up the first silverware of the new campaign with a win here.

None of the last six encounters between this duo have resulted in draws, but you can get odds of 13/5 (3.60) on them taking this tie to penalties after a deadlocked 90 minutes.

Ederson, Kyle Walker, John Stones, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Rodri, Raheem Sterling, Kevin De Bruyne, Ferran Torres, Gabriel Jesus and the injured Phil Foden are unlikely to be involved after not featuring in pre-season, although Jack Grealish can play after sealing his transfer from Aston Villa on Thursday.

Leicester City vs Manchester City preview

With Fofana likely to miss a large portion of the season after suffering a serious injury in the final warm-up match against Villarreal, Brendan Rodgers may have to look to the transfer window for defensive reinforcements.

Having conceded three goals against QPR before shipping two against the Spaniards, his understrength backline certainly doesn’t look in great shape to take on a prolific City side that has just spent £100 million on yet another attacker.

Leicester City vs Manchester City predictions

However, given Manchester City’s own first-team absentees, odds of 20/21 (1.95) look like solid value on Leicester joining them on the scoresheet in an entertaining clash that produces over 2.5 goals.

Sheffield United will be hoping to begin the new Championship season on a high when they welcome Birmingham City to Bramall Lane on Saturday.

The Blades endured a miserable second season in the Premier League, finishing rock bottom of the league after failing to win any of their first 17 fixtures.

Sheffield United vs Birmingham latest odds

However, Sheff Utd are priced at 3/4 (1.75) with bet365 to go some way to putting that behind them by getting the new campaign off to a winning start.

Having overseen five wins in 10 matches to steer the side clear of a relegation battle after replacing Aitor Karanka in March, Lee Bowyer is priced at 4/1 (5.00) to begin this campaign with Birmingham on the front foot with an impressive away victory.

Three of the last four meetings between this duo have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 5/2 (3.50) on them cancelling each other out yet again.

Sheffield United vs Birmingham preview

With their team having looked doomed to relegation before Christmas last season, the returning supporters will be determined to bring some much-needed optimism back to the stadium on Saturday.

Having led both Watford and Fulham to promotion from this division in the past, new manager Slavisa Jokanovic will be confident of delivering some cheer with a settled squad that looks extremely well equipped for this level.

In contrast, Blues have endured a rather tumultuous summer of comings-and-goings, with seven loan and free transfer signings hoping to make their debut in South Yorkshire.

Sheffield United vs Birmingham tips & predictions

Thrashed 4-0 by West Brom in their final pre-season friendly, odds of 3/4 (1.75) look like decent value on this new-look Birmingham outfit coming unstuck against a strong Sheffield United team.
