England v France: Lionesses must be backed at a silly price

By
England v France
Sunday, 19:45
Live on Channel 4 and British Eurosport 2

I spoke yesterday to an experienced English Coach who feels that this is "England's time". They have a horrible historical record against France, one which is being widely publicised, but as bettors we can only look at the evidence that we have in front of us at any given time. And right now that points overwhelmingly to an England victory.
France have been really poor here, and there is logic to Mark Sampson's criticism of Olivier Echouafni as out of his depth. I don't think that Sampson does himself any favours at all with comments like that, and wish that he had concentrated on his own job, but that doesn't make him a footballing Walter Mitty.
France are without Wendy Renard, who is a massive defensive figure for them, and are struggling to find an identity. The Coach has chopped and changed, there's no service for the brilliant Eugenie Le Sommer, and while there's a chance that they can suddenly find a performance to savour against the old enemy, the chances are that they won't.
England have looked like the best team at this tournament so far, and I've encouraged you all along to back them to win it. If you haven't already, then back them to win this game in 90 minutes. France are a borderline shambles, and England, if they put psychological obstacles behind them, are easily good enough to put them out.
For some reason, France are trading as favourites for the game. Their struggles so far make a mockery of that, and England are a massive price to get the job done.

Napoli v PSG: Will French champions fail another stern test?

By
Napoli  3.05  v PSG  2.40 ; The Draw  3.85 Tuesday 6 November, 20:00 Live on BT Sport 3 PSG dare not lose Big spending PSG are in danger of missing out on making the knockout stages of the Champions League, with the French title holders currently third in the highly competitive  Group C . PSG twice had to fight back from being behind to earn a 2-2 draw at home to  Napoli . It leaves Thomas Tuchel's team in a position where they dare not lose this reverse fixture. They are unbeaten in nine (W8 D1), but have struggled on both occasions that they've stepped up in class in the  Champions League . As well as dropping points at home to Napoli, the Parisians lost in their sole away match to Liverpool. After being held to a disappointing draw to Red Star in their opening Champions League match, Napoli have bounced back in fine fashion, beating Liverpool and then coming very close to defeating PSG, before conceding a 90th minute equaliser. They ...
