SOCCER FOOTBALL 24H

Tottenham Hotspur v Rochdale  Wednesday, 19:45 GMT  Live on BT Sport 2 Replay time again for Londoners Tottenham are unbeaten in their last 13 games in all competitions at Wembley since losing to West Ham in the fourth round of the EFL Cup, and the eight-time winners of the world's most famous knockout tournament face the unlikely scenario of another replay against lower league opposition. Mauricio Pochettino's side were given a proper game by  Rochdale at Spotland  in the 2-2, in much the same way Newport County earned a 1-1 draw at Rodney Parade in the previous round. And as I mentioned in my  first game preview   - these ties are all about the mentality. Dale have struggled to beat their own shadow this season, yet produced their best display for ages in the first game. Spurs however, might not have had themselves fired-up for such a fixture after the highs of the Champions League. The Londoners are  3.60  in the  FA Cup win...

There's a packed schedule of La Liga action over the next few days, all available to watch on Betfair Live Video, and our man Jack Lang is back to pick out the value... Ronaldo to continue fine scoring form Espanyol v Real Madrid Tuesday, 19:00 Live on Sky Sports Mix and Betfair Live Video 2018 hasn't been kind to Espanyol so far:  they've won just once in La Liga since Christmas  and have slipped down to 15th in the standings. They should have enough points in the bag to avoid any real peril in the weeks ahead, but it's a disappointing state of affairs for a side that showed real glimpses of quality under Quique Sánchez Flores last term. Los Periquitos were held by Deportivo La Coruña at the weekend - their fourth draw on the spin - and must now steel themselves for the visit of a newly-buoyant Real Madrid side, enjoying their best form so far this season. The reigning champions have won five consecutive games,  racking up 20 goals in that run , and will ...

Borussia Dortmund v Augsburg Monday February 26, 19:30 Live on Betfair Live Video A comfortable Monday evening for Dortmund A strong end to the week for Tobias and for PSG, who bashed Marseille  last night  and comfortably covered the Asian Handicap. We're kicking off our week in Germany. Usually it's quite tricky to get a ticket for a Borussia Dortmund game on the day, but with thousands of fans  boycotting the match  as part of protests against the German version of Monday Night Football, we'll be ok to check out BVB v Augsburg. Dortmund have been far from perfect under coach  Peter Stoger  since his arrival in December, but they are much tougher to beat than they were under his predecessor Peter Bosz. Their only loss was away to Bayern Munich in the DFB Cup, and on Thursday they recovered from an awful start at Atalanta to progress through to the last 16 of the Europa League. At home they have won their last two matches, and in all competiti...

Bologna v Genoa Saturday, 17:00 Live on Betfair Live Video Genoa are flying  after their 2-0 win against Inter Milan last weekend, and now they head to Bologna to play a team which won us some money last time, but did so unconvincingly. Bologna scraped past Sassuolo with a late winner, and they'll be up against it with a Genoa side reborn under  Davide Ballardini . To recycle a statistic that I mentioned last week, it's worth remembering that only Juventus and Napoli have picked up more Serie A points than Genoa since Ballardini returned to the club, and they've been more potent away from home than at Marassi. In their last two away games, Genoa have beaten Lazio and then Chievo, and have done so by suffocating the game and coming on strong at the end. There has been nothing lucky about Genoa's resurgence, and Ballardini deserves immense credit. Bologna have started to drift , as they often do at this point of the season. Tipping them last week was largely due ...

Jose Mourinho would love a win to relieve recent criticism but he may have to settle for a point against Chelsea, says Dave Tindall... United clear favourites Manchester United  at  2.36  are over a point clear in the betting of  Chelsea , who are  3.55 for the win. Mourinho's men certainly must be respected on their home form which shows  10 wins and two draws  from 13 matches (Manchester City being the only team they've lost to). Only City and Liverpool have won more away games than Chelsea's seven and if there is a winner I'd be  leaning towards the visitors . However,  three of the last four  Old Trafford encounters have resulted in draws so Chelsea's dominance of this fixture is based much more on scores at Stamford Bridge. And it also needs stating that Mourinho has lost just  two of his 32 games  at Old Trafford since taking over at United. Both were to Man City. So, with the game being played in Manchest...
