Our Football Predictions This Weekend
The football world is about to end the first half of the year with the Champions League reaching its final match, Major League Soccer entering second fixtures, and the Women’s Euro 2025 Qualifiers on going. These tournaments are top tier, offering a range of great betting markets. Here are our top football predictions for this week across each of these events.
Real Madrid Will Win the UEFA Champions League Final in Wembley
First up in our football predictions is Real Madrid clinching another Champions League against Borussia Dortmund in Wembley. Real Madrid has had an outstanding year, winning the LaLiga and now at the verge of winning their 15th Champions League trophy.
Although Real Madrid came from behind to win some matches in this year’s Champions League, they are still favourites to win the trophy. The club come into this final with a boastful record of never losing a Champions League final since 1981. Borussia Dortmund have only one Champions League to their name, and haven’t reached the final since 2013.
With Real Madrid’s history and form this season, we say they’re the best bet to win this week. They’ll bring a dominating presence to the final, coupled with an arsenal of the best football talents in the world. Get behind them at bookmaker bet365 for a handy reward.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: May 29th, 20:30 P.M. (GMT)
Bookmaker bet365 has Real Madrid as a heavy favourite to win the Champions League with 1.61 odds. Borussia Dortmund on the other hand, are big underdogs, with odds of 4.75 to win. Outside of these two results, there are also odds for the match ending in a draw after 90 minutes, which sit at 4.33.
Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami Will Claim Victory Against Atlanta United
Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami are on top of the Major League Soccer Eastern Conference table with 34 points. We expect they will remain there, after beating 12th place Atlanta United this weekend.
Ahead of this clash, Inter Miami have 10 wins from 14 games this season–hence their top of the table standing. Atlanta United, however, have a poor record of just three wins in 14 games. Don’t underestimate the fact that Inter Miami will be playing in their home turf as well, giving them another advantage that puts them as firm favourites to win this match.
With Atlanta United’s poor form, they enter this match as the underdogs and are a real outside shot at winning. Inter Miami is currently the highest scoring team in Major League Soccer, so a confident attacking approach against Atlanta United will be a likely strategy.
With form and stats like all in favour of Inter Miami, it’s a no brainer to bet on Messi’s side winning the match.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: May 29th, 20:30 P.M. (GMT)
Odds for Inter Miami to win the match are down at 1.45 on bookmaker bet365. However, it’s as safe as a football bet comes. Atlanta United’s odds to win the match are 5.75, while odds of the match ending in a draw comes in at 5.00.
With Inter Miaimi being the highest scoring team in the league, placing a bet on the over/under goal option is also a good choice. Odds for over 2.5 goals at the end of the match comes in at a conservative 1.36.
Women’s Euro 2025 Qualifiers Match Between England and France Will Produce More Than Two Goals
The Women’s Euro 2025 Qualifiers are ongoing and this weekend’s games features a showdown between two giants, France and England.
France are approaching this match with a flawless record winning their first two games, while England has one win and a draw. The head-to-head between these two nations is a fascinating one as they both have three wins each in their last six encounters, proving just how unpredictable this match up is.
Although it’s hard to predict who will win each time these two sides come together, one thing is for sure: they score a lot of goals. The best betting option is to wager on the over/under goals at full time market.
So far this tournament, England have scored three goals in two matches, while France have two goals in two games. Not exactly numbers that elicit much excitement. However, faced with a match up that’s been high scoring in the past, we expect both sides to find the back of the net several times and recommend you bet over three goals at full time.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: May 29th, 20:30 P.M. (GMT)
Going for the over three option on bookmaker bet365 will get you juicy 3.00 odds if this one comes off. Meanwhile, outright winner odds for England are 2.05 and 3.10 for France with a draw at 3.30.
Our Boxing Predictions This Weekend
Another boxing weekend is here and we are excited to see who stands tall in the ring. Don’t forget the part where we make money on these fights as well. This weekend’s fights feature a fallen hero in Deontay Wilder trying to rise through the dirt and gain respect again, plus a bunch of other big names squaring off in Riyadh.
A WBA title fight is also going down this weekend, with the unbeaten Dmitry Bivol stepping into the ring to defend his title. With plenty of excitement and predictions, read on to see the best predictions we have on boxing this weekend using the latest odds from bookmaker bet365.
Zhilei Zhang Will Defeat Deontay Wilder in This Week’s Heavyweight Clash
The Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia hosts former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder who goes up against Zhilei Zhang this weekend. Deontay Wilder, currently ranked 9th in the world heavyweight division comes into this fight with an impressive 43 wins and one loss while Zhilei Zhang has 26 wins and one loss. One might feel Wilder is the one to bet money on but no.
Deontay can be a rash and proud boxer at times. This tends to be his greatest flaw, often allowing opponents to prey on his overconfidence. Also, the American has had issues with fights lasting longer rounds. Zhilei Zhang is more calm and used to going longer rounds, so it feels like the writing is on the wall regarding how this fight will end.
The best bet we see here is wagering on the fight to go more than seven rounds. After the seventh round, Zhilei Zhang will start to gain a significant advantage over his opponent. Whether that leads to a knockout or a comfortable win on points is another question.
Bet on a late knockout for a lucrative return or Zhang to win outright for a conservative wager.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: May 29th, 20:30 P.M. (GMT)
Bookmaker bet365 has given Zhilei Zhang 1.61 odds to win the fight, while Deontay Wilder comes in with 2.30 odds to win. For those who can’t quite accept a Wilder loss here, your best bet is on a knockout for either fighter.
Dmitry Bivol Will Defeat Malik Zinad By KO, TKO, or DQ
The latest WBA light heavyweight title fight is here, with two undefeated fighters going toe-to-toe this weekend. Dmitry Bivol must defend his WBA light heavyweight title against Malik Zinad. The Russian is a highly technical fighter, with a good defence, stamina and endurance, and the ability to adapt during the fight.
Both fighters have a powerful knockout punch that they will certainly be looking to use during the fight. Zinad is an aggressive fighter with an athletic build and deadly punch combinations, coupled with his toughness and ability to take a punch. However, the Libyan often lacks the stamina to go longer rounds due to this aggressive style.
Zinad is not as technical as Bivol, nor is he as defensively astute. It’s hard to see a path for him to win here, unless it’s a lucky knockout. Comparing the strengths and weaknesses of both fighters, the defending champion is definitely a favourite to win this fight.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: May 29th, 20:30 P.M. (GMT)
In fact, Bivol is such a heavy favourite, that bookmaker bet365 has given him 1.03 odds to win the fight. Zinad, meanwhile, has enormous odds of 13.00, should he upset Bivol this weekend. The best option to bet on would be the Russian to win by KO, TKO, or DQ, which generates a modest 2.00 return at bet365.
Raymond Ford Will Defend His WBA Featherweight Title Against Nick Ball
Earlier on in Riyadh, Raymond Ford will defend his WBA featherweight title against Nick Ball this weekend. The American is a highly technical fighter who quickly adapts to his opponents attacks allowing him to counter accurately. Ford also has strong defence, yet lacks enough stamina to last for longer rounds.
Ball, on the other hand, is an aggressive fighter with deadly attacking combinations. He possesses a powerful punch that can instantly end a fight. As well as this, he’s known for having a solid chin and not being afraid to wear a few shots across a fight. However, Ball isn’t as technical as Ford and also has weaker defence overall. His stamina is nothing to write home about either, with more of a reliance on his aggressive style to win fights.
We say on balance, Ford has more attacking advantage over Ball. He’s our favourite to win the fight and defend his WBA featherweight title.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: May 29th, 20:30 P.M. (GMT))
Raymond Ford’s odds to win at bookmaker bet365 are 1.61, while Nick Ball returns 2.30. Given the stamina of both fighters, there’s little no doubt the match will end in a KO or TKO. For this, Ford has 4.75 odds of winning by KO or TKO, while Ball is at 5.00 for an early finish.
Our UFC 302 Predictions This Weekend
UFC 302 is here, and we have the best predictions for you this weekend. Will Islam Makhachev defend his UFC lightweight title or is a mind blowing upset on the cards? The number one contender for the UFC middleweight title, Sean Strickland, also goes toe-to-toe with Paulo Costa in a stacked card this Saturday night. Read on as we provide the best betting options on MMA this weekend.
Islam Makhachev Will Defeat Dustin Poirier to Defend His UFC Lightweight Title
It’s fight night in the Octagon this weekend and a title fight is brewing. The Russian gladiator, Islam Makhachev, must defend his UFC lightweight title against Dustin Poirier at UFC 302. Makhachev is a southpaw fighter coming in with a record of 24 wins in 25 fights and a UFC lightweight title.
Makhachev is known for his submission, with more of these than knockouts over the course of his career. As a result, he’s a formidable close combat fighter. Dustin Poirier is also a southpaw fighter but with more knockouts than submissions.
To win, Makhachev will need to be rock solid on defence against Dustin. On the other hand, the American must avoid getting too close to Makhachev, given he’ll be looking for a chance to get him in a submission hold.
Both fighters go into this fight with a different strategy making it highly unpredictable. We say it will be Makhachev who prevails, maintaining his formidable UFC record in 2024.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: May 29th, 20:30 P.M. (GMT)
Bookmaker bet365 gives Islam Makhachev incredibly low odds of just 1.16 to win this title fight. Dustin Poirier, on the other hand, pays an enormous 5.50 to win. Makhachev’s odds to win by submission, which is his strategy, are 1.95, while Dustin’s odds to win by knockout come in at 9.00.
Backing the Russian to win by submission is the smart bet, but we won’t blame you for making a wishful punt on Poirier by KO either with odds like that.
Sean Strickland Will Defeat Paulo Costa in the Middleweight Division
The number one contender in the UFC middleweight division, Sean Strickland will be going up against number seven ranked Paulo Costa in the Octagon this weekend.
Strickland is a fighter known for his aggressive striking style, stamina and endurance, and ability to take punches. All of this, while dictating the pace of the fight. He also has very solid defence, making it difficult for opponents to gain significant punches against him.
Costa is also an aggressive striker coupled with a knockout punch. The Brazilian has a bulky build, allowing him to overpower his opponents both in striking and grappling. As a result, he can push his opponent to the limit, continuously peppering him for multiple rounds. However, Costa doesn’t have solid defence, loses composure in high-pressure situations, and isn’t particularly technical.
Sean Strickland is more experienced and is next in line to challenge Dricus Du Plessis for the UFC middleweight division. So, it should come as no surprise that we’re picking him as favourite to win this fight.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: May 29th, 20:30 P.M. (GMT)
Being ranked the number one contender for the UFC middleweight title, Strickland’s odds to win at bookmaker bet365 are 1.44. Costa, on the other hand, returns a tempting 2.87. Thinking of going for bigger odds? Check the returns for win by KO, TKO, or DQ for both fighters. Strickland returns 2.75 odds to win by this method, while Costa’s odds are 4.33.
Our ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Predictions This Weekend
The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup begins this weekend, and fans worldwide are ready to bask in all its ferocious batting and mind blowing catches. Will England remain defending champions or can a new team rise to claim the trophy? Australia will be coming in as the top contenders to win the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, but there are plenty of excellent underdog options as well.
Who’s the best bet heading into the tournament? We’ve broken down all the numbers, and come up with two of the best bets to make using the latest odds from bookmaker bet365 ahead of this year’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Read on to know the best teams and odds to bet on.
South Africa Will Defeat Sri Lanka in the Group Stage
The match between world number four, South Africa, and seventh ranked Sri Lanka promises to keep fans on the edge of their seats. Head-to-head comparisons between both teams has South Africa coming into the match as favourites.
However, both teams have key players who are in form and have the potential to significantly influence the game’s outcome. For South Africa, the likes of Quinton de Kock, Kagiso Rabada and Aiden Markram will be key, while Sri Lanka will be banking on big performances from Wanindu Hasaranga and Kusal Perera.
The match will be intense and entertaining but over the years South Africa have had a great presence in the T20 World Cup. They’re a side in better form right now, hence being the favourite to win the match. As a result, we say betting on South Africa to win is the best option for this match.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: May 29th, 20:30 P.M. (GMT)
Bookmaker bet365 also sees South Africa as favourite with 1.44 odds to win, while Sri Lanka has 2.75 odds.
England Will Make the Highest First Six Overs Score Against Scotland in the Group Stage
The third best men’s T20 team, England, will face world number 13 Scotland in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup this weekend.
England are coming into the game as favourites to win the match against Scotland. Not only are they a full member nation and defending champions here at the T20 World Cup, but England have also won four of their last five games. Scotland, on the other hand, have won just two of their last five games and against weaker opposition too.
England’s Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, and Jofra Archer will cause problems for Scotland with their explosive batting and damaging bowling. The side has been more consistent in their wins over time, while Scotland have been struggling for form. England will be going into this match with plenty of confidence that they’ll be bagging the points in this one.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: May 29th, 20:30 P.M. (GMT)
Comparing both teams based on form and consistent winning performance we can all agree that England is the team to bet on. However, bookmaker bet365 gives England very small odds of 1.071 to win the match, while Scotland is at 9.00. So, a more profitable betting option will be to stake on England to make the highest first six overs score that pays 1.20 odds on bookmaker bet365.
