Market: Bologna win
Odds: 8/11 @
Looking to extend on their European charge on Sunday afternoon, Bologna will welcome Lecce to the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.
Starting with the hosts, making a welcomed return to winning ways last week, Bologna are enjoying what has been a stunning Serie A charge this season. Eventually claiming an action-packed 4-2 victory at home against Sassuolo, Thiago Motta s men have continued to receive a string of praise for the job that he has undertaken in Emilia-Romagna. Battling it out in the top-six chase and with their sights firmly set on punching a famous European ticket in 2024, the former Spezia boss certainly finds the mood in his camp at a red-hot high. Opening this weekend’s fixtures sat just three points adrift of breaking i…
Cameroon touched down on Wednesday, a confident coach Paul Le Guen branding his World Cup team as one loaded with potential and the ability to make it through a tough Group E.
Cameroon open their campaign against Japan in Bloemfontein on Monday and then play Denmark five days later in Pretoria before rounding up against the Netherlands in Cape Town on June 24.
And Frenchman Le Guen said he was desperate to get Cameroon s show on the road.

I decided immediately that I must stop playing football so that I could look after my mum, said the 31-year-old, who could make his debut against Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup on S…
Former Leeds United favourite Paddy Kisnorbo believes that controversial ex-owner Ken Bates would be welcomed back to the club.
Leeds are now owned by Massimo Cellino, who has been the subject of regular headlines since buying the Yorkshire club in February and involved in a string of court cases, including one he won against the Football League to officially take charge of United.
The Italian known as a manager eater in his homeland for his propensity to sack coaches at former club Cagliari has already parted company with Brian McDermott and Dave Hockaday and there have been numerous unconfirmed reports of player disharmony.
But Cellino still receives a welcome reception in Leeds something that Bates rarely experienced in the city.
The former Chelsea own…

Starting with the hosts, making what was a rampant return to winning ways over the weekend, Galatasaray will be desperate to make another Champions League statement. Picking up some perfect momentum on their return from November’s international break as they cruised their way to a 4-0 romp against Alanyaspor, Okan Buruk’s side have continued to gain a string of plaudits since opening up the 2023/24 campaign. Making real history last season as they got their hands on a first domestic crown since 2019, the Turkish heavyweights now have their sights firmly set on punching …
