International Champions Cup Betting: Back goals galore from Man City and Spurs

Chelsea 1.77, Inter Milan 4.80, The Draw 3.60

Live On Chelsea TV
Chelsea are the heavy favourites to win this one, but it is Inter Milan that come into the game off the back of a win.
While Chelsea lost 3-2 to Bayern Munich back on Tuesday, Inter beat the German champions 2-0 on Thursday, as Eder Martins helped himself to a brace.
Luciano Spalletti's team are putting together an impressive run of pre-season form. They lost to Nurnberg in mid-July, but since then have drawn with Schalke and then beat Lyon and Bayern in the ICC without conceding a goal.
The disadvantage that Inter have is that they will only get a day of rest before plunging back into action against Chelsea. They've had a heavy schedule and Spalletti will surely have to rotate his weary squad, before they head back to Italy to play another friendly next weekend.
Chelsea have had longer to rest and can afford to play their strongest side, as they prepare for the Community Shield match against Arsenal at Wembley in eight days time. Their squad has looked somewhat threadbare on occasion this summer, but it has allowed Michy Batshuayi a chance to shine in the absence of Diego Costa, while new signing Alvaro Morata made his first appearance in the loss to Bayern Munich.
A fresh, full-strength Chelsea team look a decent price to win at 1.77, though the draw is also worth considering at 3.60 as Inter come into this game in good form.
With the result in question, it's perhaps best to play it safe with Over 2.5 Goals at 1.61. Chelsea have scored five in their two friendlies so far, while Inter have found the net in all five of their games this summer.

Manchester City 2.14, Tottenham 3.00, The Draw 3.65
Saturday, 23:00
Live On Premier Sports
Two teams looking to battle for the Premier League title this season get an early chance to weigh each other up, when Manchester City take on Spurs in Nashville.
City have already met one of their domestic rivals when they lost to Manchester United in this tournament, but bounced back in spectacular style to thrash Real Madrid 4-1 on Thursday. Tottenham have also suffered mixed fortunes in the ICC, beating PSG in a 4-2 thriller, before losing 3-2 to Roma on Wednesday.
Spurs have had an extra day of rest and were unbeaten against City last season, beating them at White Hart Lane and fighting back for a draw against the run of play at the Etihad. In both encounters the home side's heavy pressing caused huge problems for the visiting opposition, but in the hot American sun at such an early stage of pre-season, it's unlikely that either team will be able to recapture last season's efforts.
Tottenham's price is the most appealing considering that they are two well-matched sides, with the Double Chance available at 1.67 for the Londoners. A safer bet however, is surely to back plenty of goals. Over 3.5 Goals looks big at [2.25] considering that City managed that feat on their own against Real Madrid and both of Spurs' ICC games have produced a bonanza of goals.
Some brilliant attacking talent from both sides have yet to find the net this summer and look nicely priced to break their duck. In the To Score market, Sergio Aguero leads the way at [2.25], with Gabriel Jesus at 2.40, Harry Kane at 2.50 and Dele Alli out at 3.50.

Atletico Madrid v Borussia Dortmund: In-form Germans will score again

By
Atletico Madrid  1.84  v Borussia Dortmund  5.10 ; The Draw  3.75 Tuesday 6 November, 20:00 Live on BT Sport Extra Borussia mark themselves out as contenders with Atletico thumping The reverse fixture produced one of the shock results in the last round of  Champions League  games, as Borussia Dortmund thrashed Atletico Madrid 4-0 at home. Dortmund's margin of victory against such an experienced European outfit, famed for their defensive solidity, was a major show of intent and marks them out as real contenders to win the competition. At the weekend they continued their fine form with a 1-0 win at  Wolfsburg , which stretched their unbeaten record this season (P17 W14 D3 L0). Lucien Favre's  side are now four points clear at the top of the Bundesliga, which is the same number that currently separates Atletico Madrid from the La Liga leaders Barcelona. A 1-1 draw at Leganes over the weekend, stretched Atletico's unbeaten run in their d...

Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Dortmund: Eagles to build a wall in Berlin

By
Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Dortmund Saturday 27 May, 19:00 Live on BT Sport ESPN Eintracht Frankfurt This time last season, Eintracht Frankfurt were  fighting for survival  in a Bundesliga playoff against second-tier side Nurnberg. Fast forward a year, and they are preparing for their first major cup final since 2006, having finished well clear of relegation trouble this term. Having steered the Eagles through that playoff against Nurnberg, coach  Niko Kovac  set about galvanising not just the squad, but the entire club. Working with sporting director Bruno Hubner and former Germany striker Fredi Bobic,  Kovac has injected new life into an organisation that was drifting. Youngsters like defender  Jesus Vallejo  and forward Ante Rebic have been brought in on loan to good effect, and astute pickups like holding midfielder Omar Mascarell and forward Branimir Hrgota have become effective cogs in the machine. Although Frankfurt have twice...

Real Madrid v Plzen: Back hosts' scoring struggles to continue

By
Real Madrid  1.09  v Plzen  40.00 ; The Draw  15.00 Tuesday 23 October, 20:00 Live on BT Sport ESPN Lopetegui on brink as Madrid malaise continues Ordinarily this match would almost be guaranteed to be a routine home win that had the potential to be embarrassing for the visitors, but these are not ordinary times at  Real Madrid . The Spanish giants are now without a win in their last five games (D1 L4), after losing 2-1 at home to Levante at the weekend.  Marcelo's  72nd minute goal broke a painful spell of 481 accumulated minutes without a goal. Unsurprisingly,  Julen Lopetegui  is under huge pressure and it would be no surprise if he were sacked before this match takes place on Tuesday. If he survives the game and it's aftermath, then Sunday's El Clasico could finish him off. Despite Real's abject form, it would still be a massive shock if they failed to beat Viktoria Plzen, who were thrashed 5-0 by Roma in their most recent...
