Haaland cites ´insanely good´ Benzema as inspiration as he looks to evolve at Man City

Whether you are a seasoned punter or a newbie, identifying value bets is a great way to increase your earnings. While predicting accurately the outcome of an event remains the most important aspect of long-term success, learning how to spot value in soccer betting markets will return more money for every wager won.

What is a value bet?

A value bet is a wager placed on sporting events in which the odds a bookmaker provides are higher than the actual probability of that event happening. While punters have been looking to explore value since the beginning of gambling by using different ways, there is now a well-established formula to determine if a bet is valuable.

Sir Bobby was the reason I had the opportunity to play for Manchester United… I will be forever grateful to a man I was named after, someone I looked up to and was a hero to many around the world not just in Manchester and our country where he won the World Cup in 1966,” Beckham posted on Instagram.

Adriano Galliani hopes Milan can tug on the heart-strings of Carlo Ancelotti and lure him back to San Siro for a second stint in charge.

Ancelotti is in demand following his exit from Real Madrid earlier this week, and Milan are hoping to gazump any other potential suitors and agree a deal with the 55-year-old.

However, Milan are not at the same level as the club he previously managed between 2001 and 2009, so chief executive Galliani knows they have a tough job to convince Ancelotti to return.

He will give us his final answer next Wednesday, Galliani told Sport Mediaset after a meeting with the former Chelsea boss. 

According to Carlo the decision is 50-50, but we are hoping that on Wednesday it will become 100 per cent, but I fear it may become zero…

Barcelona full-back Dani Alves revealed he almost joined Real Madrid instead of the Catalan giants.

Alves signed for the La Liga champions in 2008 for a then-record fee for a full-back when Barcelona paid Sevilla €30million.

But Alves said his fate might have been different had he seen through a move to Real Madrid which he says was almost done.

The revelation came during a Spanish radio interview in which Alves discussed Neymar s future at the club.

People should know Neymar and his family better before they give their opinion, Alves told Spanish radio station Onda Cero.

In life, people move on their interests and even more when money is an issue.

I never hid my move to Real Madrid was almost done my fate changed and I arrived at Bar…

Pierre van Hooijdonk feels Celtic could win the Champions League if they were allowed to make the switch to the English league system.

Celtic majority shareholder Dermot Desmond has recently talked up the possibility of Celtic and Glasgow rivals Rangers joining the Premier League.

English clubs rejected a proposal to incorporate Celtic and Rangers into a second tier of the Premier League back in 2009, with the division s chief executive Richard Scudamore labelling the idea a non-starter at the time.

But Celtic manager Ronny Deila has given his backing to the possibility of Celtic playing in a British league and Van Hooijdonk who played at Parkhead from 1995 to 1997 believes a switch could have a huge impact on the club s fortunes.

I hope that it happen…

Just 11 weeks have passed since Manchester City lifted the Premier League title to bring down the curtain on the 2021-22 Premier League campaign, yet plenty has changed ahead of the start of the new season.

City have undergone a facelift of sorts, with Erling Haaland their marquee arrival of the window, while last term s runners-up Liverpool have replaced the ever-reliable Sadio Mane with Darwin Nunez in attack.

The chasing pack have also been busy as they desperately attempt to keep pace with City and Liverpool, but the exciting signings of the close season to date have not been solely reserved by those competing in the upper echelons.

Lionel Messi returned to crown Barcelona s 2-0 win over 10-man Girona – re-establishing the champions five-point lead at LaLiga s summit.

Portugal right-back Nelson Semedo struck after nine minutes at Estadi Montilivi but, four days on from a 2-0 loss to Sevilla in the first leg of their Copa del Rey quarter-final, Ernesto Valverde s side were far from their fluent best.

Indeed, immediately after Bernardo Espinosa s red card for two bookable offences early in the second half, Girona continued to create the better chances and Barca were indebted to the heroics of goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Messi came off the bench with last weekend s 3-1 win over Leganes in the balance and sat out the trip to Sevilla, but was at the heart of most of Barcelona s best attac…

Sergio Ramos admits the appeal of Champions League football only added to the lure of an emotional return to Sevilla and is hoping injury will not rule him out of Wednesday’s trip to Arsenal.

The 37-year-old won the competition four times during a trophy-laden spell at Real Madrid but is now back at his boyhood club following a stint with Paris St Germain.

The former Spain centre-back is currently struggling with a calf injury and could miss Sevilla’s crucial Group B clash away to Arsenal.

Defeat for the reigning Europa League champions would leave their chances of progression into the Champions League knockout stages on a knife-edge with two games remaining.

Ramos will no doubt be desperate to feature and help keep Sevilla’s ambitions alive after m…
