Football Bet of the Day: Flamengo to fly past Bahia

Flamengo v Bahia
Thursday 20:00
In the end, it was Philly that set Philly alight in the MLS last night. The hosts ran out 3-1 winners to give us an odds-against bump that sees us bouncing all the way to Brazil for today's bet.
In the early stages of this season's Campeonato, Flamengo are scoring more frequently than anyone else (13 goals in seven games). Mauricio Barbieri's men are in second place, having taken seven points from nine at Ilha do Urubu. The final score in both wins was 2-0, extending a fine record for the Scarlet and Blacks. Since the start of least season, they've won 12/23 home games, and in 11/12 of those wins the margin of victory was at least two goals.
So far this season, Guto Ferreira's Bahia have lost 3/3 on the road by a combined scoreline of 0-7. In each of those defeats, the margin has been at least two goals. Last season, they went W1-D2-L7 visiting teams that finished in the top half. That record includes a 4-1 defeat in this fixture and we're backing them for another comfortable loss this evening.

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

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...

Tottenham’s Dele Alli eyes Premier League debut at Manchester United

It was quite the opening statement. Dele Alli, 24 minutes into his first start in a Tottenham Hotspur shirt, suckered in Luka Modric of Real Madrid, nutmegged him and accelerated away. The 70,000 sell-out crowd at Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena roared at the 19-year-old’s sheer impudence. "We had a laugh about it in the tunnel afterwards; he was very good about it,” Alli said. "He shook my hand and said to me: ‘You little bugger’ – or something like that. I didn’t shout ‘nuts’ when I did it. I used to do that when I was young and get told off for it." As Alli spoke at the Allianz after Tuesday’s 2-0 Audi Cup victory, some of Real’s galácticos filed past. This time last year the midfielder was preparing for MK Dons’ League One season opener against Gillingham. His previous competitive game was for MK against Yeovil in May. Alli says “unreal” and “surreal” on a number of occasions and it is little wonder. This is a young player of conviction. If the nutmeg on one of...
