Crystal Palace is likely to be thrashed again. I seriously doubt FDB will change his tactics, afterall he is still making his team adapt to his tactics. Mane and Salah will have a field day against the Palace slow wingbacks.

Liverpool win @ 1.4 Inter win @ 1.57 Real Madrid win @ 1.33 30 points treble

Inter -0.75 Fiorentina had a fire sale, fans favs Gonzalo Rodriguez and Borja Valero are gone. Rising Italian star Federico Bernardeschi also sold to Juventus. Stefano Pioli may want to exact some revenge against Inter but it will not be in this game. Inter bought early and bought well this summer so I believe Spalletti should have a good start.

Ok, I noticed I used the word 'likely' 4 times in a paragraph.

Portland Timbers -0.5 This is likely to be a bad spot for the NYRB. While they are likely to be a high after beating Cincinnati but one has to wonder how emotionally spent they could be. It was a great win as they had to come back from two goals down. Most of the starters played heavy minutes. This game will be played on turf again (same as the one against Cincinnati) which is not going to help their cause too. Portland Timbers will be keen to get back to winning ways quickly as they are in a really tight Western Conference. They are likely to be without starting gk Jake Gleeson, defender Liam Ridgewell and second leading scorer Fernando Adi but if they can take advantage of a NYRB side who is likely to be tired physically and mentally, they should be able to get another win at home.

FC Dallas -1 Not much time for writeup this week.

Everton 1.67 (1) Man Utd 1.3 (1) £20 double

100pts means £100, right?

I like Hoffenheim DNB. This team is rock solid at home and was unbeaten for the whole season. They may have lost Sule and Rudy but they have brought in reinforcements like Grillitsch and Gnabry (both players are my ex players in my football manager save as Werder Bremen manager) so I know what they can do.

Back from a short break and I'm ready again. Chicago Fire -0.75 It has been quite a while since Fire has gone three games without winning. Their winless run is on the road which isn't that uncommon in MLS. Chicago Fire will be glad to be back at home where they are really dominant. In the 10 games, they have won 9 and draw 1, scoring 27 goals and conceding only 4 goals. As for Revolution, their wins were at home and against two struggling teams in LA Galaxy and Philly Union so it's hard to say that they have turn a corner. With Fire playing at Toyota Park again and against one of the poorest road team in MLS, I think they should get back to winning ways here. FC Dallas DNB Both teams come into this game on a back of a thrashing. Philly may have won 6 out of their last 7 at home but FC Dallas is a different animal. They have the best defence in the league and have only lost twice away (one was where they fielded a weakened team). It's just too hard to trust Philly because of their inconsistency. FC Dallas will want to prove that last week result is nothing more than a blip.

*Poor form alert Whitecaps -0.5 Whitecaps will know there is no better opportunity to continue their climb up the table. Timbers isn't the best road side and could be missing up to at least 8-10 first teams and squad players due to Gold Cup, injuries and suspensions and Whitecaps (who has a habit of being too passive at times) should really be going for all 3 points.

Sorry, I'm not really into O2.5 or BTTS bets. Based on stats this season, seems likely though.

NYC -0.5 @ 1.9(pinnacle) Toronto will be missing quite a number of players(like Altidore, Bradley, Cooper, Osorio) because of the Gold Cup. NYC put up a stinker against the Whitecaps in their last game. This is a revenge game too. NYC was thrashed 5-0 and dumped out of playoffs last season by Toronto. I believe NYC has marked this game down on their calendar for a long time as they will try to lay the ghost to rest.

Reporting in.

Only European leagues for now? MLS or A-league?
