Toronto FC VS Columbus Crew is another game happening on matchday 3 of the 2023 MLS campaign, Saturday, March 11. These teams have not had a good start to the season, and they won’t want to be defeated for the second game in a row. MatchPlug has the Best Betting Tips Today and MLS Predictions for Toronto and Columbus Crew. We have predictions and odds for other MLS matchday 3 matches you can find below this article. Related Preview: MLS Matchday 3 Prediction: DC United VS Orlando City Predictions Predictions and Betting Preview for Toronto FC VS Columbus Crew Venue: BMO Field, Toronto, Ontario When: Saturday, March 11th, 2023 Time: 16:30 GMT Teams to play: Toronto FC and Columbus Crew. MLS Picks: MONEYLINE 2.06 Odds as provided by 1XBet and BetMGM. Betting On Toronto FC 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.06 BetMGM Over/Under: Over 2.5 Bet MGM Moneyline: 2.05 Toronto FC comes into matchday 3 hoping for their first win of the year. They lost 3-2 in the opening-day match against DC United, where they gave up two goals in stoppage time. Additionally, they drew 1-1 in their visit to Atlanta United on the last matchday after blowing their leverage. This is Toronto’s first home game of the season, a setup where they haven’t done very well lately, winning only two of their last 9 MLS appearances and most of their recent matches against Columbus Crew. If Toronto should have a positive outcome tomorrow it will be thanks to Federico Bernardeschi who scored in the first two games, twice after the break. Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Sean Johnson; Richie Laryea, Matt Hedges, Sigurd Rosted, Raoul Pedretta; Michael Bradley, Mark-Anthony Kaye; Brandon Servania, Federico Bernardeschi, Jonathan Osorio; Adama Diomande. Betting On Columbus Crew 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 3.36 BetMGM Over/Under: Under 2.5 Bet MGM Moneyline: 3.30 Columbus Crew on the other hand came back from a 4-1 loss to Philadelphia Union on Matchday 1, by winning 2-0 over DC United in their last game, thanks to Lucas Zelarayan’s first-half brace. Besides the three points, the victory would have been satisfying for Wilfried Nancy’s defense, which broke a losing streak where they lost seven consecutive games, giving up goals. But, Crew’s offense has brought the team succour, as this was their 8th game in a row with a goal. They will now have a harder time securing a series of victories, which they haven’t done since the end of the 2021 campaign and the start of the 2022 season. To pull this off, they will have to break the jinx of losing their last eight home games. Possible Lineup (3-4-2-1): Eloy Room; Steven Moreira, Milos Degenek, Philip Quinton; Mohammed Farsi, Darlington Nagbe, Aidan Morris, Yaw Yeboah, Alexandru Matan, Cucho Hernandez; Lucas Zelarayan. MatchPlug Prediction Toronto FC showed promise in their early matches, with a good offense headed by Bernardeschi; but their poor defense is their Achilles Heel. This is a problem that Columbus Crew who also gave up goals, suffers from too. Four of the past 5 league meetings between these clubs scored three points. Taking account of the defensive shortcomings of Toronto and Columbus, and their good offensive play, fans can expect a high-scoring match, as the trend will continue.Final Prediction: Toronto Moneyline and Over.

NBA Expert Picks: Atlanta Hawks VS Washington Wizards Predictions Tonight

March 10, 2023 No Comments

Atlanta Hawks VS Washington Wizards is another important game in the Eastern Conference play-in battle coming up. This matchup will be the second time these two teams meet this week after playing against each other two days ago. The Hawks avenged a home loss in February and got away with a 122-120 win on Wednesday night. They had a big late comeback, but the game saw them win the final quarter 32-26. MatchPlug has some vital information for the Hawks and Wizards. We have the best NBA Prediction Tonight for this game. You can also find the surest Basketball Predictions and odds for similar NBA games. Predictions and Betting Preview for Atlanta Hawks VS Washington Wizards NBA Regular Season Game Venue: Capital One Arena, Washington D.C. When: Thursday, March 10th, 2023 Time: 16:00 GMT Teams to play: Atlanta Hawks and Washington Wizards NBA Expert Picks: MONEYLINE 1.86 Odds by BetMGM and 1XBet. Betting On The Atlanta Hawks Regular Season Record: 33-33 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.86 1XBet Over/Under: Under 238.5 BetMGM Spread: -1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 1.83 BetMGM Over/Under: Over 237.5 The Atlanta Hawks are aware that they delivered a huge win in their last game, and thanks to Miami Heat’s loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, they have now advanced within 1.5 games of the seventh place in the Eastern Conference. Trae Young led the Hawk’s comeback in their last game against the Wizards, recording a big double-double of 28 points and 10 assists while being one of six players in the team to up to 13 points. However, in spite of their recent success, Atlanta has had a hard time on the road this season, experiencing 15 wins and 20 losses. They also have an alarming defensive record, allowing an average of 119.1 points per game. Betting On The Washington Wizards Regular Season Record: 31-35 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.18 1XBet Over/Under: Over 238.5 BetMGM Spread: +1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 2.00 BetMGM Over/Under: Under 237.5 Washington Wizards enter today’s match with the intent to prevent a second consecutive defeat and fourth loss in a row in the presence of their supporters. They still grace 10th place in the Eastern Conference, but they might want to sit up, as they are just 1.5 games behind the Chicago Bulls, who are their closest competitor. For the Wizards to get back in form, they must restore their strength playing at home. This is important because they have won only one of their last five home games. Although they’ve lost four closely-contested games, they know they can improve on their record. To do that, they’ll depend on their key 3 players – Kristaps Porzingis who scored 43 points, then Kyle Kuzma and Bradley Beal who added 25 and 24 points, respectively, last week Wednesday. MatchPlug Prediction Atlanta’s defense problems were apparent on Wednesday, whereas their offense was impressive, headed by one of the NBA’s best players, averaging 117.2 points in a road game. But, while Washington is not great in offense, it has three players in its ranks that are in excellent shape and have exploited the Hawks’ shortcomings on their side of the court in the last two occasions this campaign. 22 out of the Hawks’ 35 games on the road this year, have covered the Over. Taking into account how well the Wizards and Hawks have done in defense, fans should expect another close, high-scoring matchup.Final Prediction: Atlanta Hawks Moneyline.

Rio Ferdinand urges Kylian Mbappe to consider Man Utd transfer

March 10, 2023 No Comments

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has asked his former side to prioritise the signing of PSG star Kylian Mbappe over signing Tottenham hit-man Harry Kane. The French striker’s future has become a subject of speculation after his side’s-latest UCL campaign ended Wednesday night after a last-16 defeat to Bayern Munich. After another poor season in Europe, PSG marquee players, including Lionel Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, are now being linked to moves away from the club. Read more: Manchester United to table huge offer for Camavinga Mbappe snubbed a move to Real Madrid to sign a new contract at Parc des Princes last summer, but that hasn’t stopped the rumours of his departure from PSG this summer. One of those who has asked him to take on a new challenge is United legend Ferdinand, who would like to see the Frenchman arrive at Old Trafford in the summer. Real Madrid have been tipped to make a fresh approach for Mbappe, but the former defender thinks the Premier League is the best place for Mbappe’s talent to grow further. “He’s the most devastating player to watch on the planet right now. I love watching him. I think to go to the next level; he needs to go to a more competitive league. I think as much as he’s been great for PSG, and they’ve been great for him, he’s won the World Cup, and now he’ll want to win the Champions League, and I don’t see that happening there,” The former United defender told BT Sport. “[He should move to] Man United! The Premier League is the best, most entertaining league in the world, the most competitive league in the world 100%. I’d love to see him come here – but nowhere else but Man United if he comes to England!” When asked to pick between Mbappe and Tottenham striker Harry Kane for a potential United switch, Ferdinand said: “Oh, 100% Mbappe. I think even Kane would say Mbappe as well. He’s young; he’s beginning to get towards his peak years. He’s not even there yet, and he’s already scored more than 200 goals for PSG, won a World Cup and been the top scorer at a World Cup.”

NBA Expert Picks: Sacramento Kings VS New York Knicks Predictions Tonight

March 9, 2023 No Comments

Sacramento Kings VS New York Knicks will be the last game today for the NBA. Both the Kings and the Knicks are in great shape and will wish to keep making fans happy, with their impressive performances. In the first meeting of the season between these teams, New York won, exploiting the absence of De’Aaron Fox in Sacramento’s corner to win 99-112, recording their fourth consecutive win this series. MatchPlug has a match preview you can trust for the Kings and Knicks. We have the best NBA Prediction Tonight for this game. You can also find the surest Basketball Predictions and odds for similar NBA games. Predictions and Betting Preview for Sacramento Kings VS New York Knicks NBA Regular Season Game Venue: Golden 1 Center, Sacramento, California. When: Thursday, March 9th, 2023 Time: 19:00 GMT Teams to play: Sacramento Kings and New York Knicks NBA Expert Picks: MONEYLINE 1.81 Odds by BetMGM and 1XBet. Betting On The Sacramento Kings Regular Season Record: 38-26 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.81 1XBet Over/Under: Over 239.5 BetMGM Spread: -2.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 1.75 BetMGM Over/Under: Under 239.5 The Sacramento Kings’ surprisingly strong campaign is still happening, and it looks like the team will run with this upward movement; they are not rooted deeply in third place in the Western Conference, and now they can take a second position too if they want, as they are just 0.5 games behind the Memphis Grizzlies who are presently having a tough time. Sacramento’s offense has stunned this season, scoring 121.1 points per game and shooting 50.0% from the field which is a league-best. This performance has largely covered up the blind spots of their defense, which are third worst with 118.4 points allowed per game. Betting On The New York Knicks Regular Season Record: 39-27 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.25 1XBet Over/Under: Under 239.5 BetMGM Spread: +2.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 2.10 BetMGM Over/Under: Over 239.5 In recent weeks, the New York Knicks have shown a new level that is quite impressive, reaching here even after suffering one loss in their past 10 games. They defeated the Boston Celtics, Atlanta Hawks, and Miami Heat, to further secure their place in the direct playoff spots. New York finally found a great balance between their offense and defense, with a good average of 115.5 points scored per game, emerging 8th best in the NBA in defense with an average of 112.4 points against, and stopping their opponents to 45.4% shooting from the field. MatchPlug Prediction Sacramento Kings have shown that they can destroy any defense in the NBA, especially when they’re playing at home, so the New York Knicks will have a difficult time controlling them in this matchup, as they already struggled against the Celtics and Heat in their recent games. But, the weaknesses in the King’s defense are clear, even if they’re playing on their home court where they have a 20-13 record, they rarely give good performances in this area, so they will have a long night playing Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson of the Knicks who are at their best. There is no doubt that this will be a good match, where the offenses will be looked on to take the lead from the beginning as the Kings often do at home games, and leave fans with a high score. Final Prediction: Sacramento Kings Moneyline and Over.

Manchester United to table huge offer for Camavinga

March 9, 2023 No Comments

Manchester United are reportedly plotting a bold £115 million (€130m) offer for Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga. According to Fichajes, the Red Devils are looking to do business with Real Madrid again this summer after pricing away Casemiro from them last summer.

Mbappe refuses to give a clear answer on his PSG future after a painful Champions League exit

March 9, 2023 No Comments

Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe refused to clarify where his footballing future lies after his side’s loss in the Champions League to Bayern Munich. The Parisians were sent out of the Champions League in the Round of 16 after a 3-0 aggregate loss to the German side. A 1-0 loss was recorded in Parc des Princes a fortnight ago before an embarrassing 2-0 loss at the Allianz Arena sealed the exit last night.

Even Mbappe could not inspire them to success after snubbing a move to current Champions League holders Real Madrid last summer. But after the game, the PSG record top-scorer revealed that he remains committed to the club’s quest for the Ligue 1 title even though he refused to state his long-term position in Paris. When asked to clarify his future beyond this season, Mbappe told reporters post-match: “No, no, I’m calm. The only thing that matters to me this season is to win Ligue 1, and then we’ll see. At the moment, I’m only talking about this season. Nothing else matters to me.” “We are disappointed. That’s how it is, and we have to move on, try to challenge everyone,” he added when speaking about the result. “We didn’t miss much when we look at the state of the two teams, [but] they have a team built to win the Champions League. At the start of the season, during the first Champions League press conference, I said that we were going to do our best and give our maximum. We’re going to question ourselves and go back to our day-to-day life in Ligue 1.” Real Madrid could enter the race for Mbappe again if he becomes available as they continue to look for a long-term replacement for the ageing Karim Benzema.

Bayern Munich will send Joao Cancelo back to Man City

March 8, 2023 No Comments

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich will not permanently sign on-loan full-back Joao Cancelo this summer. According to Calciomercato, the German side have determined they would send the Manchester City defender back to the Etihad after the season rather than make his loan permanent. Read more: Manchester City ready to sell Laporte to fund Gvardiol move The Portuguese international joined the Bavarian side on loan in January after reportedly falling out of favour with Pep Guardiola at City. His deal at the Allianz Arena was set to be made permanent at the end of the six-month loan. But as it stands, Bayern are reluctant to sanction a permanent deal given Cancelo’s output so far. Although his life in Munich started strongly, as he gave an assist in his first game, overall, his time in Germany hasn’t gone as he had hoped. He’s been dealt with the same diminished squad role issue that infuriated him under Pep Guardiola. Manchester City is ready to move on after he left in January and would be happy to sell him to another club this summer.
