Transfer roundup: Robinson becomes Fulham’s first signing since promotion

Fulham have made their first signing since winning promotion to the Premier League, buying Antonee Robinson from Wigan Athletic for £1.9m.

Robinson, who has impressed at left-back for Wigan, was a target for several Premier League clubs. West Ham scouted him at the end of last season and the USA defender was close to joining Sheffield United until Fulham, who earned an instant return to the top flight after beating Brentford in the Championship play-off final, came in for him.

The 23-year-old is highly rated and was on the verge of joining Milan for £6m during the January transfer window before the deal was called off after an irregular heartbeat was detected during his medical. However interest in Robinson has no…

Prediction: Hellas Verona vs Juventus

Best odds: 4/5

Bookmaker:

Both Hellas Verona and Juventus will enter their second Serie A fixtures of the 2024/25 season with confidence, having each secured convincing 3-0 victories in their opening matches.

Verona produced an outstanding second-half performance to stun Napoli, showcasing their potential to upset top-tier opposition. Meanwhile, Juventus displayed their strength by comfortably overcoming newly-promoted Como under the guidance of new manager Thiago Motta, suggesting that the Turin giants could be a formidable force once again this season.

As both sides aim to build on their strong starts, this clash at Stadio Bentegodi promises to be an intriguing contest.

Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez is under-pressure after three winless games at home

This weekend’s Premier League clashes are in danger of being hampered by the great British weather. With snowing falling throughout Britain a large number of games could be postponed.

Anyway here are the games that are scheduled for this weekend. The two big games of the weekend Premier League schedule take place on Sunday. The early kick-off on Sunday sees Chelsea face Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea’s home form has been poor in recent games. Rafa Benitez’s side have failed to win in their last three games at home and have lost two of those encounters. However in their last two away games the Blues have scored nine goals.

The visitors have enjoyed an inconsistent sea…

Gotze admits regret over failed Liverpool move in 2016

Mario Gotze acknowledges he was wrong to reject a move to Liverpool upon leaving Bayern Munich in 2016, when the Reds were at the beginning of their rebuild under Jurgen Klopp.

Gotze returned to the Bundesliga this month, joining Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt after spending two seasons with Eredivisie giants PSV Eindhoven.

The creative midfielder, who scored the only goal of the game as Germany overcame Argentina in the 2014 World Cup final, became one of European football s hottest properties during a four-year spell with Klopp s Borussia Dortmund between 2009 and 2013, winning two Bundesliga titles and reaching a Champions League final.

Eintracht Frankfurt have signed Mario Götze from on a three-year contract until 2025.

Bears vs Seahawks Preseason Picks and Predictions: Ugly Offense Keeps TNF Under

It’s not exactly Thursday Night Football season yet, but the Seattle Seahawks will host the Chicago Bears at Lumen Field tonight for preseason Week 2 action.

Drew Lock was set to start and play the first half for the Hawks but health and safety protocols has sidelined him, so the home side will roll with Geno Smith and likely Jacob Eason.

Even with Overs going 14-3 in Week 1, I’m not expecting much offensively Thursday night with both teams on a quick turnaround. Find out why in my free NFL picks and predictions for Bears vs. Seahawks below.

Texans vs Panthers Odds, Picks, and Predictions Week 8: Young & Co. Benefit From Offensive Shakeup

While it may not be a marquee matchup on the NFL Week 8 odds board, football bettors get a battle between the top two quarterbacks selected in the 2023 NFL Draft.

C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans visit Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers, with the home team getting a field goal from the NFL odds this Sunday afternoon.

Stroud is off to a stronger start to his pro career, helping Houston bring a 3-3 record (4-2 against the spread) into their Week 7 bye. Young, on the other hand, has struggled through a 0-6 start (1-5 ATS) but hopes a change at play-caller coming out of the bye week can wake up the Panthers’ passing game.

I break down the point spread and Over/Under total for this non-conference clash and give my best NFL picks and predictions fo…
