class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Well rested and full of confidence, Al Hain-Cole expects Guardiola's men to complete their treble when they face a Blues team that has lost its way

Manchester City will be hoping to land their elusive first Champions League title when they take on Chelsea in Saturday’s final at the Estadio Do Dragao.

Pep Guardiola’s men have dominated domestically since his arrival, winning three Premier League titles, one FA Cup and four Carabao Cups.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Latest Odds

Having reached the final of this competition for the first time, they are 5/6 (1.83) favourites with bet365 to finally translate that success to the continental stage by coming out on top in Porto.

However, the Blues have recorded two victories over this opposition within the last few weeks and are available at 18/5 (4.60) to make it three in a row to lift this trophy for the second time in their history.

Just one of the last 16 encounters between this pair has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 12/5 (3.40) on them taking this clash into extra-time after a deadlocked 90 minutes.

Ilkay Gundogan should be fit to start after being kept on the bench in the 5-0 final day win over Everton, leaving Guardiola with a fully fit squad to choose from.

Edouard Mendy and N’Golo Kante will be optimistic of taking their places in the starting line-up after returning to full training following injury.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Preview

After setting down a marker with their 2-1 win at the Etihad Stadium three weeks ago, Thomas Tuchel’s team now come into this final in far less intimidating shape.

Indeed, they were relieved to scrape into the Premier League’s top four despite losing against Aston Villa on the final day, a third defeat in a run of four matches that also included their upset against Leicester in the FA Cup final.

In contrast, the Citizens demonstrated their embarrassment of riches by thrashing Everton 5-0 in their last league game, having recalled the likes of Kevin De Bruyne to the starting line-up after largely resting key players since tying up the league title a couple of weeks ago.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Tips and Predictions

Likely to come into the game feeling the fresher and more confident side, City now look well worth those 5/6 (1.83) odds to overcome a Chelsea team they finished 19 points ahead of in the league.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having played a key role in bringing the Citizens to their first ever Champions League final, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Algerian to star in Porto

While Sergio Aguero will be dreaming of firing Manchester City to their first ever Champions League win on his final appearance for the club, Pep Guardiola is likely to look elsewhere for inspiration against Chelsea on Saturday.

The Citizens’ boss has collected this season’s Premier League title and Carabao Cup trophy without really relying on any strikers, instead usually deploying a midfielder to lead the line.

Indeed, Ilkay Gundogan is the team’s top scorer this season with 17 goals in all competitions and can be backed at 11/2 (6.50) with bet365 to open the scoring at the Estadio Do Dragao.

However, having scored just one club goal since mid-March, the Germany international may not be the most tempting anytime bet at 2/1 (3.00) in the final.

Instead, Riyad Mahrez looks like excellent value at 12/5 (3.40) considering his form in this competition, having scored three times in the semi-final victory over Paris Saint-Germain.

In fact, the former Leicester City star has hit all four of his Champions League goals for the season in the last three fixtures and is certainly worth backing at those odds to get on target once again.

Having found the net in three of his last four appearances against his former club, Kevin De Bruyne also looks a strong option at 11/5 (3.20) to score for the fourth match in six in this competition.

At the other end of the pitch, Timo Werner will be hoping to end a difficult first season at Stamford Bridge on a high.

The German international has managed just 12 goals in all competitions since his big money move from RB Leipzig and is an 8/1 (9.00) long shot to break the deadlock and priced at 3/1 (4.00) to score anytime.

Similarly, Kai Havertz is yet to really live up to the record transfer fee the Blues paid Bayer Leverkusen for his services last summer but is available at 7/2 (4.50) to deliver on the biggest stage in Portugal.

On the scoresheet in both of Chelsea’s successive wins against City, Hakim Ziyech is a potentially lucrative 9/2 (5.50) anytime option to put one past them for the third meeting in a row.

Charles Aznavour est parti presque par surprise. Il venait de remonter sur scène, au Japon, après quelques mois de repos à la suite d’une fracture du bras. À 94 ans, il devait repartir chanter aux quatre coins du monde comme il en avait l’habitude. Vendredi 5 octobre 2018, il recevra un hommage national dans la cour des Invalides à Paris. Ce mercredi, Paris Match sort un numéro entièrement consacré à sa vie et à sa carrière inouïe. Dans ses pages, Carla Bruni lui rend hommage.

Liza Minnelli le considérait comme un mentor, Johnny Hallyday un père. Et Charles Aznavour était pour beaucoup une inspiration, y compris pour les artistes de rap. En mars dernier, sur son compte Instagram, Carla Bruni postait une photo à ses côtés évoquant en légende “un petit moment de travail et d’amitié avec le grand Charles“. Dans Paris Match, elle signe un texte pour lui rendre hommage : “Je l’ai connu lorsque j’étais encore une enfant mais il ne changeait pas ou à peine, quelques cheveux blancs, une canne ces derniers temps… qu’il n’utilisait guère. Il était drôle, il débordait d’énergie, d’envie, comme un tout jeune homme. Il avait tout vu, tout vécu, tout compris, mais il ne s’était pas lassé : il en voulait encore…“

Carla Bruni souligne son charme irrésistible, son écriture si précise, si fine pour décrire les sentiments, les chagrins, toutes les choses de l’amour. La chanteuse évoque la passion de Charles pour Ulla Thorsell, son épouse depuis plus de cinquante ans. “Il l’avait trouvée, on sentait combien elle lui était précieuse, il aimait la garder pour lui, secrète, cachée…“

Enfin, Carla Bruni remarque que Charles Aznavour aura eu la chance de vivre jusqu’au bout comme il l’entendait, entre sa maison adorée de Mouriès, entouré de ses Oliviers, et sur scène, devant son public : “Il n’a pas connu l’ennui, la vieillesse, la maladie, j’en suis heureuse pour lui. Il aurait détesté être emprisonné, il me semble.“

La tristesse laisse aujourd’hui toute sa place au bonheur pour Claire Holt ! L’actrice américaine vient en effet d’annoncer une bonne nouvelle à ses fans sur Instagram puisqu’elle est enceinte de son premier enfant. Un heureux événement qui survient sept mois après une fausse-couche, “le moment le plus sombre” de sa vie.

“Ça ne me semble toujours pas réel, a-t-elle témoigné en commentaire d’une joyeuse photo avec son mari Andrew Joblon. Ces derniers mois ont été rempli d’excitation, d’angoisse, de larmes, de joie, d’incertitudes, mais avant tout de gratitude. Vous n’oubliez jamais la douleur profonde d’une perte. Ça diminue avec le temps mais ça façonne beaucoup de vos expériences.”

My heart is bursting. I’m so happy to share with you that we are having a baby! It still doesn’t feel real. These past few months have been filled with excitement, anxiety, tears, joy, uncertainty but most of all gratitude. You never forget the deep pain of loss. It dims with time but it informs many of your experiences. Our loss earlier this year was the darkest moment of my life. Yet, it made me infinitely more thankful for the precious baby growing inside me today. I want to take a moment to acknowledge all those struggling with miscarriage, infertility or any of the difficulties that come with bringing new life into the world. I know that these announcements can hurt. I’ve felt it all. My heart is with you and I pray that our story gives you hope. Thank you all so much for your love and support – I can’t wait to share this journey with you.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The opening game of Euro 2020 takes place on Friday and Goal is backing an entertaining game between two sides in excellent scoring form this year

Euro 2020 finally gets underway on Friday with Turkey facing Italy at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and both sides are hoping to get off to a strong start in Group A of the tournament.

Click Here: Roberto Firmino Jersey Sale

Roberto Mancini’s men are on 27-match unbeaten streak and come into the competition having won each of their last eight matches without conceding a goal, whilst Turkey are also unbeaten in 2021.

Turkey vs Italy Latest Odds

The Azzurri’s last defeat came back in September 2018 in the UEFA Nations League at the hands of Portugal and the four-time World Cup winners can be backed at 11/20 (1.55) with bet365 to pick up three points.

Turkey, for their part, are clear outsiders offered at 6/1 (7.00) with the draw available at 14/5 (3.80).

Turkey vs Italy Team News

The Italian squad is a blend of youth and experience, with 22-year-old Gianluigi Donnarumma starting in goal behind veteran defenders Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci.

In midfield, Sassuolo’s 23-year-old Manuel Locatelli looks set to start his first game at a major tournament, while Ciro Immobile will lead the line after another superb domestic season for Lazio.

Turkey are lead by veteran striker Burak Yilmaz, who helped fire Lille to an unlikely Ligue 1 title in France this season, and Trabzonspor’s Ugurcan Cakir is likely to start in goal despite lacking experience at this level.

Turkey vs Italy Preview

Senol Gunes had great success with the Turkish national team in 2002, taking them to the semi-finals of the World Cup, and there are hopes that the manager can work his magic again this year with another talented group.

Turkey have had plenty of joy in the final third over the last nine months, scoring at least twice in five of their last six competitive matches and notably putting four goals past the Netherlands and three past both Russia and Norway.

Italy will prove to be more challenging opponents and their extraordinary defensive record makes opposing a high-scoring game the natural bet, yet there could be some interest in backing both teams to score.

Turkey vs Italy Tips and Predictions

Investing goals at both ends appeals greatly at the price of 5/4 (2.25) which looks to offer plenty of value.

The Italians have netted in 23 of their last 24 matches and should relied upon to do so once more, while backing Turkey’s fine scoring form to continue makes plenty of sense.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both teams looking strong at the back, Al Hain-Cole expects a tight, evenly-matched opening clash between the Dragons and Petkovic's men

Wales and Switzerland will be aiming to get their Euro 2020 campaigns off to a winning start when they meet in Baku on Saturday.

The Dragons have fond recent memories of this tournament, having enjoyed a heroic run to the semi-finals in France at Euro 2016.

Wales vs Switzerland Latest Odds

Having subsequently missed out on qualification for the last World Cup, they are available at 14/5 (3.80) with bet365 to make a triumphant return to the big stage with a win in Azerbaijan.

Vladimir Petkovic’s team comes into this tournament on the back of seven consecutive wins and is priced at 11/10 (2.10) to keep that streak going with another victory.

None of the five previous encounters between this duo have resulted in draws, but you can get odds of 21/10 (3.10) on them cancelling each other out in this one.

Wales vs Switzerland Team News

Daniel James and Harry Wilson are likely to line up alongside star man Gareth Bale in a fluid attack, while Joe Allen will be hoping to start in midfield after being ruled out of the competition last summer due to injury before it was delayed by a year.

Admir Mehmedi, Breel Embolo  and Mario Gavranovic will compete for a place alongside Haris Seferovic up front, with Xherdan Shaqiri pulling the strings from attacking midfield.

Wales vs Switzerland Preview

Whoever lines up in attack for either side is likely to face a difficult job in breaking down stubborn opposition backlines.

Indeed, the Nati qualified for this tournament having conceded just six times in eight group games and have only let in four in their last six in all competitions.

This looks ominous for Rob Page’s men, who have hit the net only 10 times in 13 fixtures and failed to get on target in either of their two warm-up friendlies.

Nevertheless, they can at least rely upon a backline that has conceded 16 times in 21 matches – with nine of those goals arriving in three difficult games against England, Belgium and France.

Wales vs Switzerland Tips and Predictions

With the teams fairly evenly matched and both strong defensively, odds of 8/11 (1.73) look fair enough on either Wales or Switzerland failing to score in a tense game featuring under 2.5 goals.

All odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>One of the pre-tournament favourites begin Euro 2020 in St Petersburg and Goal is backing Roberto Martinez's men to score at least twice on Saturday

The number one ranked team in the world begin their Euro 2020 campaign on Saturday evening as Belgium face Russia in Group B.

Roberto Martinez’s side are one of the favourites to win the tournament and will be confident of claiming a win against a team they comfortably beat twice in qualifying for the competition.

Belgium vs Russia Latest Odds

The Red Devils were 4-1 winners when they visited Russia in November 2019, while also recording a 3-1 win on home soil in March of that year.

Another success for Belgium is priced at 4/6 (1.66) with bet365 while the Russians can be backed at 15/4 (4.75) and the draw at 3/1 (4.00).

Belgium vs Russia Team News

The Belgians are set to be without Kevin De Bruyne following the facial injury he picked up in the Champions League final and it remains to be seen whether Eden Hazard is fully fit to start after an injury-plagued season for Real Madrid, having been a substitute in both of Belgium’s warm-up friendlies.

Russia will have veteran forward Artem Dzyuba leading the line with the Zenit St Petersburg forward coming off the back off his best scoring season in the Russian Premier League. 

Belgium vs Russia Preview

Following their third-place finish at the 2018 World Cup, Belgium’s golden generation of players will be aiming to go at least one better and reach what would be only the nation’s second ever final at a major tournament.

Martinez’s team certainly have enough firepower to cause any side in the world problems, yet there could be question marks about their ageing back-line who have certainly lost some pace over the years.

Nevertheless, they boast one of the best goalkeepers on the planet n Thibaut Courtois and the Red Devils should be able to see off a Russia side they eased past twice in qualifying. 

Belgium vs Russia Tips and Predictions 

The Belgians are offered at 5/6 (1.83) to score over 1.5 goals which looks like a strong option, having paid out in five of the last six meetings between these nations.

Russia have conceded twice against Hungary, Sweden and Slovakia, three times against Turkey and five times against Serbia in recent months and look set to struggle against one of the best attacking teams in the world.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With this Euro 2020 clash taking place in Copenhagen, Goal is backing the Danes to hold firm on the way to three points in their opening Group B match

Denmark and Finland are both aiming to start Euro 2020 with a win when they face off at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen on Saturday evening.

The pair face a tough ask to top Group B ahead of Belgium but will both fancy their chances of reaching the knockout stages by finishing second or as one of the best third-place teams.

Denmark vs Finland Latest Odds

Playing on home turf, Denmark are 4/9 (1.44) favourites with bet365 to open their campaign with three points against one of the rank outsiders in the competition.

Finland have lost four and drawn two of their last six games and it is no surprise to see them at 8/1 (9.0) to stun their Nordic rivals.

It was a draw when the sides last met in this stadium back in 2003 and another stalemate is available at 3/1 (4.0) with the online bookmaker.

Denmark vs Finland Team News

Kasper Hjulmand should be able to name his strongest team for this one, with the likes of Kasper Schmeichel, Simon Kjaer, Christian Eriksen and Martin Braithwaite amongst the big names expected to start.

Teemu Pukki played 30 minutes in Finland’s last friendly match, ending fears he may miss this game due to an ankle problem, whilst captain Tim Sparv should return after sitting out that defeat to Estonia.

Denmark vs Finland Preview

Denmark come into Euro 2020 as one of the dark horses and will have aspirations of justifying that tag with a strong run that begins on Saturday.

Hjulmand’s men have been in good form over the last nine months with victories over England and Sweden as well as a creditable draw with Germany last week, and should have more than enough to see off Finland.

Indeed, the Eagle-owls have lost their most recent three friendlies, including against Estonia at home on Friday, whilst draws against Ukraine and Bosnia-Herzegovina in March offer little encouragement.

Denmark vs Finland Tips and Predictions

Denmark have won four of their last five games without conceding, with only Germany managing to score, and another victory to nil is offered at Evens (2.0) by bet365.
