Football
The Europa League takes centre stage tonight with a number of English sides in action. Spurs could cement their place in the next round tonight and are favourites to win in Moldova at 1/3 against FC Sheriff in a 6pm kick-off. However if you sniff an upset, at Spreadex we’re industry best price on the draw 9/2 and a Sheriff win at 12/1.

Swansea and Wigan both kick-off at 8.05pm hosting Kuban Krasnodar and Rubin Kazan respectively.

Looking ahead to the weekend and arguably the biggest match of the weekend is Chelsea v Manchester City on Sunday. However, the action begins with managerless Crystal Palace hosting table-toppers Arsenal. Do you fancy a feast of goals here? Our Total Goals spread is 3.05-3.25.

The Tyne-Wear derby takes place at 1.30pm on Sunday with Sunderland bottom of the league with only one point. Will the Toon pile more misery on Gus Poyet’s troops? We’re quoting Supremacy at 0.1 choice.

There are three Sunday 4pm matches which see Chelsea hosting Man City (Chel/ManCity 0.15-0.35), West Ham traveling to Wales as they take on Swansea (Swa/WHU 0.8-1) and Tottenham tackling Hull (Tott/Hull 1.15-1.35).

Rugby
It may have not had the fanfare that would have heralded the equivalent football or rugby union tournament, but Saturday marks the start of the Rugby League World Cup as England face Australia in Cardiff.

The competition hosts are sure to be in for a tough afternoon with Australia as the 2/5 outright fixed odds favourites to win the tournament (50-53 on our 60-40-20-10 spread index). England by contrast are 11/2 to win the tournament or 31-34 on our spread index.

So can Steve McNamara’s men put a warm-up defeat to Italy behind them and shock the Aussies? Our Supremacy price for this one is Australia/England 12-15.
