    Africa Cup of Nations Semifinal – Mali vs Nigeria Predictions

    After three semifinals in the last 10 years, Mali are looking to finally break the barrier and reach their first final in the Africa Cup of Nations. Nigeria, always a favorite and always a disappointment, haven’t been to the finals since 2000, finishing third four times since.

  • La Liga – Valencia vs Barcelona Predictions

    La Liga – Valencia vs Barcelona Predictions

    With both teams trying to get over some sort of Real Madrid hangover, it’s going to be interesting to see if Valencia, in a disappointing season, can be the team that puts another dent in the nearly perfect run Barcelona have put together so far this season.

  • Premier League – Manchester City vs Liverpool Predictions

    Premier League – Manchester City vs Liverpool Predictions

    One team in the title race, the other not quite sure where it’s heading. Manchester City are losing ground in the race for the Premier League championship, and can’t afford to lose more points. Liverpool might be headed to Europe, but it’s not sure how, and hard to tell if they’re good enough to make it.

  • 2013 Six Nations – England vs Scotland Predictions

    Few sport rivalries in this world are as ancient as the one between England and Scotland in Rugby Union, playing for the Calcutta Cup, but in recent years, especially in the Six Nations, it’s been one of the more one-sided one’s as well.

  • 2013 Six Nations – Wales vs Ireland Predictions

    2013 Six Nations – Wales vs Ireland Predictions

  • Copa Del Rey – Real Madrid vs Barcelona Predictions

    Copa Del Rey – Real Madrid vs Barcelona Predictions

    Don’t let the fact that this is a Cup match fool you. The Clasico flame burns just as bright outside the La Liga as well, maybe even more because of how the season is going. Real Madrid can’t win the league, so winning the Copa Del Rey and putting a dent in Barca’s season is quite the motivation. For Barcelona, playing a Clasico, league or cup, means no one is taking this match lightly.

  • Premier League – Arsenal vs Liverpool Predictions

    Premier League – Arsenal vs Liverpool Predictions

    When these two teams last met, Arsenal looked strong, confident and very hard to beat because of their defense. Liverpool were in the beginning of a terrible start to the season, which has since looked a bit better for them, most of the time. The two arrive to their second meeting of the season with only 3 points separating them.

  • Australian Open Final – Djokovic vs Murray Predictions

    Australian Open Final – Djokovic vs Murray Predictions

    When this final repeats and comes back again, it’s safe to say that the rivalry between Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic is now the number one on the ATP Tour, and naturally was the one we expected and deserved to see in the first Grand Slam title match of the season, the 2013 Australian Open Final.

  • La Liga – Valencia vs Real Madrid Predictions

    La Liga – Valencia vs Real Madrid Predictions

    As always with Real Madrid, the off-field drama is just as interesting, maybe even more, than the actual matches they play, especially with the title so far out of reach. Still, their visit to Valencia, the second in a three-games-in-one-week between the two clubs, is more than just Jose Mourinho stirred conflicts.

  • Premier League – Tottenham vs Manchester United Predictions

    Premier League – Tottenham vs Manchester United Predictions

    Since losing to Tottenham in the early days of the 2012-2013 season, Manchester United have dropped only 5 points on an incredible run seeing them take a firm grasp of the Premier League’s leaders position. This is a chance for Spurs to get a very rare double over United, and cement their place in the race for a Champions League spot and maybe even the top 3.
