class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Despite their disrupted pre-season, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Blues to prove too strong for Parker's men in a high-scoring friendly clash

Chelsea will take the next step in their pre-season preparations with a friendly against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday.

Thomas Tuchel enjoyed a magnificent half-season in command, lifting the Champions League after taking over from Frank Lampard in January.

Bournemouth vs Chelsea latest odds

Looking to build on that in his first full campaign, Tuchel’s Chelsea are available at 8/15 (1.53) with bet365 to claim a victory on the south coast.

Bournemouth are actually unbeaten in their last two home games against this opposition but are 4/1 (5.00) outsiders to pull off a win in this one.

The last meeting between the pair at this ground resulted in a 2-2 draw in February 2020, and you can get odds of 14/5 (3.80) on them cancelling each other out once again here.

Bournemouth vs Chelsea team news

Winger Kyle Edwards could get a run-out for the hosts after joining on trial following his release by West Brom, while Dominic Solanke will be hoping to score a third goal of pre-season against his former club.

Antonio Rudiger, Kurt Zouma, N’Golo Kante, Timo Werner, Kai Havertz and Michy Batshuayi are not ready to play despite returning to training at the weekend, with Thiago Silva, Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Cesar Azpilicueta, Andreas Christensen, Jorginho and Mason Mount all still on holiday.

Bournemouth vs Chelsea preview

Although this game is the first of the summer in front of a crowd, the Blues have already beaten Peterborough 6-1 in a behind-closed-doors encounter at their Cobham training ground.

However, their subsequent training camp in Ireland was called to a premature end due to a Covid-19 scare, with their match against proposed friendly opponents Drogheda United called off.

This disruption could play into the hands of Scott Parker, who will be taking this game against his former club very seriously ahead of Saturday’s EFL Cup clash MK Dons and the start of the competitive season.

Bournemouth vs Chelsea tips & predictions

Having scored five goals in their last two friendly matches, Bournemouth should back themselves to at least find the net against a less prepared Chelsea side – although the visitors’ superior quality still makes them worth backing at 2/1 (3.00) to come out on top.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both teams struggling for cutting edge at the Olympics, Al Hain-Cole doesn't expect much goalmouth action between La Rojita and Batista’s team

Spain and Argentina will go head to head for top spot in Group C when they meet at the Saitama Stadium 2002 in Wednesday’s Olympic Games clash.

Luis de la Fuente’s men are top of the group after the opening two matches, having drawn 0-0 with Egypt before narrowly defeating Australia 1-0.

Spain vs Argentina latest odds

Spain are 10/11 (1.91) favourites with bet365 to progress to the knockout stages in first place by coming out on top once again here.

Argentina ran out emphatic 4-0 winners in their only previous Olympics encounter with this opposition at Atlanta 1996 but are 3/1 (4.00) outsiders to emerge victorious in this one, and priced at 5/2 (3.50) to earn a draw.

Spain vs Argentina team news

Oscar Mingueza and Dani Ceballos have both been ruled out of the group stage after suffering injuries in the opening 0-0 draw against Egypt.

Francisco Ortega is available once again after serving a one-match suspension for the red card he received in the opening 2-0 defeat to Australia.

Spain vs Argentina preview

Having brought a strong squad to Japan, including players like Pau Torres, Pedri, Dani Olmo and Mikel Oyarzabal, La Rojita have endured a slightly frustrating first two matches at these Olympics.

After being held to a 0-0 draw by Egypt in their opener, they did eventually score their first Olympic goal in 21 years in the 1-0 win over Australia last time out.

They can at least take encouragement from two clean sheets from two, meaning they have conceded just once in their last three matches in all competitions.

This will be cause for concern for Fernando Batista’s team, who have only scored six times in their last six matches and struggled to break down Australia in their narrow 1-0 win on Sunday.

Spain vs Argentina tips & predictions

With Spain needing only a draw to ensure safe passage into the knockout stages, odds of 17/20 (1.85) seem generous on them keeping things tight in their fourth match in a row that features under 2.5 goals.

That bet would also have paid out in four of the last five games for Argentina, who have also conceded only three times in five fixtures.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>After a difficult pre-season, Al Hain-Cole fears Postecoglou could be in for more disappointment in the Champions League clash against the Wolves

There is all to play for when Midtjylland welcome Celtic to the Arena Herning for Wednesday’s Champions League qualifier.

The sides shared a 1-1 draw in the first leg, when Liel Abada’s debut goal was cancelled out by an Evander free kick in a match that produced a red card for each team.

Midtjylland vs Celtic latest odds

Having lost just one of their last five Champions League qualifiers on home turf, Midtjylland are 7/5 (2.40)   favourites with bet365 to progress by coming out on top here.

Ange Postecoglou was disappointed with his team’s inability to capitalise on their dominance in the first leg, but Celtic can be backed at 15/8 (2.88)  to claim a crucial victory in Denmark.

The hosts’ last European home game resulted in a 1-1 draw with Liverpool, and you can get odds of 12/5 (3.40)   on them playing out another stalemate in this one.

Nir Bitton is also suspended after his first-half sending off, with Mikey Johnston and Karamoko Dembele  both doubtful and Leigh Griffiths definitely absent with a calf injury.

Midtjylland vs Celtic preview

Hardly the most popular appointment due to his lack of experience in European football, Postecoglou has really been thrown into the deep end this summer.

With pre-season preparations disrupted by fixture cancellations due to Covid-19 and key players absent or sold, this crucial Champions League qualifier does not come at a good time for a club desperate for a morale boost.

Having fallen to a rather embarrassing 6-2 friendly defeat against West Ham since the first leg, the Hoops certainly don’t look in good shape coming into this clash.

While Bo Henriksen has also lost some key players this summer, his more settled squad will be in confident spirits after following up the hard-fought first-leg draw with a solid yet unspectacular 1-0 league win away to Aalborg at the weekend.

Midtjylland vs Celtic tips & predictions

All in all, odds of 4/5 (1.80)  actually look like fairly good value on Midtjylland compounding Celtic’s woes and progressing to the next stage at their expense.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the Red Devils missing a number of key defensive players, Al Hain-Cole expects plenty of goalmouth action when Frank's men visit Old Trafford

Manchester United will be looking to bounce back from defeat when they welcome Brentford to Old Trafford in Wednesday’s friendly clash.

The Red Devils followed up their opening pre-season win over Derby with a surprise defeat against QPR, going down 4-2 at Loftus Road last weekend.

Manchester United vs Brentford latest odds

However, Man Utd are clear 8/15 (1.53) favourites with bet365 to put that behind them straight away by coming out on top against another west London opponent.

Thomas Frank’s Brentford team have won all three of their pre-season fixtures so far but are 15/4 (4.75) outsiders to pull off a shock win here.

The last meeting between this duo resulted in a 0-0 draw all the way back in 1947, and there are odds of 3/1 (4.00) available on them cancelling each other out once again.

Diogo Dalot, Scott McTominay and Donny van de Beek are set to be included after returning to training but Alex Telles is definitely out after suffering an ankle injury during the training camp.

Matthew Cox and Myles Peart-Harris could be in line for debuts after joining from Wimbledon and Chelsea respectively, while fellow newcomers Kristoffer Ajer and Frank Onyeka will also be looking for more action.

Manchester United vs Brentford preview

With Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw all still missing following their involvement in Euro 2020, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men will be forced to line up with another inexperienced backline.

Having failed to keep a clean sheet in the opener against Derby before shipping four goals against QPR, they will be in for another stern challenge against Ivan Toney and Co..

Indeed, the Bees have hit the net six times in their three pre-season games so far this summer, easing to a 3-1 win away to fellow newly-promoted Premier League team Watford last time out.

Nevertheless, with the likes of Mason Greenwood and Jesse Lingard to call upon in attack, the hosts will also back themselves to cause plenty of problems of their own.

Manchester United vs Brentford tips & predictions

All in all, even money (2.00) seems generous on both teams getting on target and over 2.5 goals being scored for United’s third successive pre-season game, as well as a second in a row for Brentford.

MK Dons will be hoping to cause an upset when they welcome Tottenham to Stadium MK for Wednesday’s friendly match.

The Dons began their pre-season by thrashing Coventry City 7-1 in a behind-closed-doors game, before losing 3-1 away to Bristol City last weekend.

MK Dons vs Tottenham latest odds

However, MK Dons are available at 11/2 (6.50)   with bet365 to bounce back with a morale-boosting win over their high-profile guests, or 7/2 (4.50)   to claim a creditable draw.

Nuno Espirito Santo followed up a 1-1 debut draw at Leyton Orient with a 3-0 win over Colchester last time out and Spurs can be backed at 4/11 (1.36)   to secure another victory here.

Andrew Fisher and Max Watters will both be assessed after missing the game against Bristol City due to minor injuries.

MK Dons vs Tottenham preview

While Kane’s future at the club may remain in doubt, Son Heung-Min gave Spurs fans a massive boost by signing a new long term contract to stay at the club this week.

The South Korea international took just 11 minutes to open the scoring in last week’s 3-0 win at Colchester, before being joined on the scoresheet by Lucas Moura and former MK Dons player Dele Alli.

This kind of attacking quality should be too much to handle for Russell Martin’s men, who struggled to deal with Bristol City in their last fixture and will have one eye on this weekend’s Carabao Cup clash against Bournemouth and the start of the competitive season.

MK Dons vs Tottenham tips & predictions

With the Tottenham players keen to impress their new manager ahead of a big season, even money (2.00)   looks well worth backing them coming out on top by at least two clear goals against their League One opponents on Wednesday.
