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.

Southampton v Arsenal: Gunners set for a night of frustration

By
Southampton v Arsenal Wednesday, 19:45 Southampton  Claude Puel has done a decent job at Southampton this season, but his future at the club could rest on how well his team performs in their last four games of the season. The Saints can finish as high as eighth or as low as 16th. A bottom-half finish could be enough to seal the fate of the former Nice manager, with rumours suggesting that the club hierarchy are considering his future. It's true that Southampton's Premier League campaign has been rather underwhelming, with the side struggling to find any consistency this season, yet Puel did guide them to the EFL Cup final. He's inherited a weaker squad than previous managers enjoyed, which has lacked firepower for much of the season. Charlie Austin could return against Arsenal to help to solve that problem, while the defender Matt Targett is another player in contention. Virgil can Dijk remains out. Arsenal The Gunners gave themselves hope o...
