European giants flying high in Group B

Inter and Barcelona are the teams that are control of Group B, with Spurs and PSV yet to claim a win after three matches.
The reverse fixture a fortnight ago saw Barca win 2-0, but Tottenham's draw away at PSVhas given Inter a great chance of making the knockout stages. Avoiding defeat at home would be a huge step towards fulfilling that ambition.
Inter have bounced back from that defeat with consecutive victories over Lazio and then Genoa at the weekend, who they thrashed 5-0. They are now second in Serie A, with the loss to Barcelona their only game that they haven't won from their last ten outings.
Barcelona are unbeaten in eight (W6 D2). They have won all three of their Champions League games and can book their place in the last-16 with a victory.

Inter should give better account at home

Lionel Messi has returned to the Barcelona squad after breaking his arm and the possibility of his involvement, justifies the low price for the visitors.
Yet with Inter in such good form, it's a risk to back the away win. The Italians will feel that they did not do themselves justice in the away fixture and will be eager to test themselves on home soil.
Inter have scored eight goals in the two games since drawing a blank at the Nou Camp and with Barcelona having had to come from behind to win 3-2 at Rayo Vallecano at the weekend, Inter's attackers should get on the scoresheet this time round. Back both teams to score at 1.70.

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

By
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...

Biggest ever UEFA international qualifying scorelines in history

By
In light of UEFA footballing minnows Andorra, Gibraltar, Malta and San Marino all taking on much higher-ranked opponents Portugal, Belgium, England and Northern Ireland respectively this international break, that got Coral writers thinking. Goals galore are expected in each of those fixtures, so we find out some of the biggest scorelines in the history of World Cup and Euro qualifying from European nations. England 8-0 Turkey (1987) We start off with England and, although their 8-0 win is not the biggest scoreline on the list, it was against one of the most high profile – Turkey. Ahead of Euro 1988, the Three Lions battered the Turkish outfit, thanks to a hat-trick from Gary Lineker and a brace from John Barnes, while Bryan Robson, Peter Beardsley and Neil Webb also chipped in. Spain 8-0 Liechtenstein (2016) Most recently, Spain hammered tiny territory Liechtenstein 8-0 too this current World Cup 2018 qualifying campaign, thanks to braces from Diego Costa, David S...
