IMAGO Lauren Hemp has been a constant threat for England this tournament.

We’ve got the Women’s Euros final between England and Spain to enjoy while there’s also Belgium Pro League and Scottish Cup action. Here at FIRST, we’ve got our four fancies!

Leg 1 – Dunfermline to beat Stirling and over 1.5 goals @ 11/25 [Saturday 3pm]

The Scottish League Cup group stages continues with Championship side Dunfermline hosting League Two’s Stirling.

Dunfermline are second behind runaway group winners Hearts but they can secure second - and land a play-off spot - with a win against bottom-placed Stirling.

The home side have won their last two group games and they've scored seven times in their three outings in total.

Ready for the new season? Ladbrokes has you covered with their new football management game.

Stirling, meanwhile, have lost all three of their matches while conceding seven times and failing to score.

That trend should continue so we're backing Dunfermline to win and over 1.5 goals. There have been two or more goals in Dunfermline’s last five games, while it’s been a winner in four of Stirling’s last five.

Leg 2 – Anderlecht to beat Westerlo @ 31/50 [Sunday 12:30pm]

The Belgium Pro League gets underway this weekend and Anderlecht host Westerlo in their season opener.

Anderlecht finished fourth last campaign to secure a Europa League qualifying spot but they'll be desperate to improve on that.

Besnik Hasi's side played the first leg of their Europa League qualifier against Hacken on Thursday and that more intense game compared to pre-season friendlies will have them spot on for Sunday.

Westerlo, who finished ninth in the league last season, haven't had that competitive game yet and given they won just four of their 15 away outings last campaign, we'll back Anderlecht.

Leg 3 – Spain to lift the trophy against England @ 2/5 [Sunday 5pm]

England look to defend their Euros crown against Spain in a repeat of the 2023 World Cup final, but can the Lionnesses’ roar to victory? 

Spain won that final in Australia and we can't see anything but Montserrat Tome's side lifting the trophy again.

England rode their luck in the knockout stages and it looked like they were going to crash out against both Sweden and Italy. The Lionesses showed their spirit and netted late goals on both occasions to force extra time before edging through.

Spain, who beat Germany 1-0 in extra time in their semi-final, have been pretty dominant in Switzerland.

They've scored 17 times in their five outings and the World Cup holders may just have too much class to edge out England in a tight affair. We’re backing them to lift the trophy rather than win in 90 minutes.

Leg 4 – Club Brugge to beat Genk @ 3/4 [Sunday 5:30pm]

Club Brugge vs Genk takes centre stage in Belgium on Sunday.

Genk finished top in the regular season last time out with Club Brugge in second, however, both missed out on the title to Union Saint-Gilloise.

Nicky Hayen’s side are the favourites to win the title for the 19th time and we're expecting them to start the campaign with a win.

Club Brugge, who have also won four of their last five meetings with Genk, beat Union Saint-Gilloise 2-1 in the Belgian Super Cup last weekend to kick off the season with silverware and they'll be full of confidence.

They've won the title in five of the last eight seasons and they should have too much quality for Genk.

Leg 1 – Over 2.5 Spain women goals vs Switzerland @ 4/11 [Friday 8pm]

Leg 2 – Over 2.5 goals in France women vs Germany @ 7/10 [Saturday 8pm]

Leg 3 – Both teams to score in New York Red Bulls vs Inter Miami @ 21/50 [Sunday 12:30am]

Leg 4 – LAFC to beat LA Galaxy and under 4.5 goals @ 10/13 [Sunday 3:30am]

Leg 1 – Over 2.5 Spain women goals vs Switzerland @ 4/11 [Friday 8pm]

We’re into the Women’s Euros quarter-finals as Spain take on the hosts Switzerland.

Spain, who lifted the women’s World Cup in 2023, won all three of their group games scoring 14 times.

Switzerland, who only won one of their three group games, netted a stoppage-time goal against Finland to reach the quarter-finals for the first time.

Reaching the last eight is a great achievement for Switzerland but their journey will seemingly end as Spain will have far too much quality.

We’re on over 2.5 Spain goals, which has landed in seven of their last eight games. Expect that trend to continue!

Leg 2 – Over 2.5 goals in France women vs Germany @ 7/10 [Saturday 8pm]

Elsewhere in the Women’s Euros quarter-finals, France and Germany face off for a spot in the final four.

France are in fine form and they’ve won their last 11 games but they’re yet to win the Euros compared to Germany, who have lifted the trophy a record eight times.

Les Bleus are the better side but Germany have the pedigree so instead of picking a winner, we like over 2.5 goals.

It’s been a winner in 12 of Germany’s last 13 games and in six of France’s last seven outings. There’s too much quality on the pitch for this to be a quiet one!

Leg 3 – Both teams to score in New York Red Bulls vs Inter Miami @ 21/50 [Sunday 12:30am]

Inter Miami are playing catch up after their Club World Cup exploits but they’ve been in decent form since returning to MLS action.

Lionel Messi and co had won three in a row while scoring eight times prior to their defeat against FC Cincinnati in midweek.

The loss has left them fifth in the Eastern Conference, however, they’re only eight points off top spot with three games in hand.

New York Red Bulls are eighth in the east after winning just one of their last six outings. That being said, we’re not predicting the result and instead on both teams to score.

Both teams have netted in five of New York’s last six games, while the selection has been a winner in three of Inter Miami’s four MLS outings since the Club World Cup.

Leg 4 – LAFC to beat LA Galaxy and under 4.5 goals @ 10/13 [Sunday 3:30am]

We’ve also got the Los Angeles derby, better known as El Trafico, between LAFC and LA Galaxy.

After a pretty poor showing at the Club World Cup, LAFC have now won their last three MLS games while scoring 6 times without conceding.

Read: Why micro-stakes betting is perfect for beginners

LAFC are fourth in the Western Conference while boasting three games in hand, whereas LA Galaxy are bottom of the table after winning just three of their 23 MLS outings.

We’re on LAFC to win. They should have too much for LA Galaxy and they’re also unbeaten in four of their last five LA derbies.

Plus, adding in under 4.5 goals, which has landed in LAFC’s last 14 games. There have been four or less goals in nine of LA Galaxy’s last 10 outings.

Leg 1 – Germany women draw no bet vs Sweden @ 31/50 [Saturday 8pm]

Leg 2 – PSG to beat Chelsea @ 3/5 [Sunday 8pm]

Leg 3 – England women -2 on the handicap vs Wales @ 9/20 [Sunday 8pm]

Leg 4 – France women to beat Netherlands @ 31/50 [Sunday 8pm]

Leg 1 – Germany women draw no bet vs Sweden @ 31/50 [Saturday 8pm]

Germany and Sweden both boast a perfect record ahead of their final group stage game and while they've both qualified, top spot in Group C is up for grabs.

Sweden beat Denmark 1-0 before their routine 3-0 victory against Poland last time out, while Germany beat Poland and Denmark 2-0 and 2-1 respectively.

Germany, who have been dominant against Sweden in the past by winning 11 of their 16 clashes, are in fine form and they've won their last seven in all competitions while scoring an impressive 28 times.

We're on Germany draw no bet so we've got the added safety net if the clash finishes level in Zurich.

Leg 2 – PSG to beat Chelsea @ 3/5 [Sunday 8pm]

Chelsea and PSG face off in the Club World Cup final and while the Blues have done well so far, it could be a long night against the Champions League holders.

PSG are simply the best team in the world and it was terrifying how easily they dismantled Real Madrid in their semi-final as they won 4-0. As expected, they're odds-on favourites to win the competition.

PSG have beaten Bayern Munich and Real Madrid on their way to the final, while Chelsea have had to get the better of Benfica, Palmeiras and Fluminense.

We're keeping this one simple and backing the best team in the world to add the Club World Cup to their trophy cabinet.

Leg 3 – England women -2 on the handicap vs Wales @ 9/20 [Sunday 8pm]

England women bounced back from their disappointing defeat against France by hammering the Netherlands 4-0 on Wednesday night.

The Lionesses play their final group stage game against Wales on Sunday and they are guaranteed to qualify for the knockout stages with a win.

Sarina Wiegman will demand her side, who are defending their Euros crown, build on the Netherlands victory ahead of the quarter-finals.

Wales are all but out of the tournament and while they have pride to play for, they won't be able to handle England's quality.

We're on England -2 on the handicap, meaning the Lionesses must win by three or more goals.

Wales have lost both of their group stage games by three goals and England have scored an impressive 26 goals in their last seven outings.

Leg 4 – France women to beat Netherlands @ 31/50 [Sunday 8pm]

Elsewhere in Group D, France will confirm top spot with a win against the Netherlands on Sunday.

Laurent Bonadei's side, who have won their last 10 games in all competitions, have won both of their group outings against England and Wales while scoring six times and conceding twice.

Although the Netherlands have Vivianne Miedema and a couple other decent players, they were just hammered 4-0 by England and they'll struggle to deal with France's depth and quality.

We're keeping it simple again and backing France to win as they eye top spot in the group.

Leg 1 – Chelsea double chance vs Palmeiras and under 3.5 goals @ 29/50 [Saturday 2am]

Leg 2 – PSG draw no bet vs Bayern Munich @ 3/5 [Saturday 5pm]

Leg 3 – Netherlands women -1 on the handicap vs Wales @ 11/20 [Saturday 5pm]

Leg 4 – England women draw no bet vs France @ 3/5 [Saturday 8pm]

Leg 1 – Chelsea double chance vs Palmeiras and under 3.5 goals @ 29/50 [Saturday 2am]

Chelsea return to Club World Cup action as they face off against Brazilian side Palmeiras in the quarter-finals, we have the full match breakdown for you, but what about some value prop bets to get you thinking?

Love football? Find the best football betting sites and bet with welcome bonuses today.

The Blues beat Benfica 4-1 in the last 16 thanks to three extra time goals, meaning Enzo Maresca's side have scored an impressive 10 times in the competition so far.

Chelsea have won three of their four outings and we're on the Blues double chance and under 3.5 goals.

Chelsea have more than enough quality to avoid defeat in 90 minutes and we like the unders in terms of goals. It's been a long season for the Premier League side and legs are heavy. Also, we’re into the quarter-finals so games should be more cagey.

Palmeiras beat Botafogo in the last 16 but their only other win came against Al Ahly. Backing under 3.5 goals makes sense as there have been three or less goals in three of their four.

Leg 2 – PSG draw no bet vs Bayern Munich @ 3/5 [Saturday 5pm]

Elsewhere in the Club World Cup, PSG and Bayern Munich battle for a semi-final spot.

The Champions League winners have been dominant so far - bar their shock defeat against Botafogo - with Luis Enrique's side scoring 10 times and conceding once in four outings.

Bayern beat Flamengo 4-2 last time out, meaning they've won three of their four games while scoring an impressive 16 times.

The German giants will be a tough test for PSG but it's hard to see anything but Enrique's men reaching the final four.

We're on PSG draw no bet, which gives us an added safety net. They’re the best team in the world and they should have too much quality for Bayern.

Leg 3 – Netherlands women -1 on the handicap vs Wales @ 11/20 [Saturday 5pm]

A day after Spain meet Portugal in their opening encounter of Euro 2025, Wales get their campaign underway against the Netherlands on Saturday evening. 

Rhian Wilkinson's side are making their Euros debut and it could be a long night for them against the Netherlands, who are ranked 11th in the world.

Wales say they're happy to be underdogs but they're winless in their last six games while conceding 10 times in that period.

We're on the Netherlands -1 on the handicap as Vivianne Miedema and Co. should have too much class for Wales.

The Netherlands have lost just once in their last seven outings and they've scored two or more goals in eight of their last 11.

Leg 4 – England women draw no bet vs France @ 3/5 [Saturday 8pm]

England kick off their Women’s Euros title defence as the Lionesses face off against France, they might not be the favourites to defend their crown but can they see off Les Bleus?

England have scored 21 times in their last five games in preparation for the tournament and Sarina Wiegman will be desperate to kick off with a win.

Read: Key talking point - Will Hannah Hampton step up? 

France, who have won their last eight games in all competitions, are ranked 10th in the FIFA world rankings and while it'll be a tough test for the Lionesses, we like England draw no bet.

We're expecting England to edge out France in a tight affair in Switzerland but we're more confident having the added safety net of draw no bet.

Leg 1 – Bayern Munich to beat Boca Juniors and over 2.5 goals @ 1/2 [Saturday 2am]

Bayern Munich and Boca Juniors face off in their second group game in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The Bundesliga side just hammered Auckland City 10-0, while Argentine outfit Boca Juniors held Benfica to a 2-2 draw despite having two players sent off.

Bayern's strength in depth is ridiculous and much like in our Bayern vs Boca Juniors match betting tips, we can't see anything but a win for Vincent Kompany's side, especially given they'll be full of confidence after their Auckland rout.

We're also adding in over 2.5 goals, which was a winner in both Bayern and Boca Juniors' opening group games.

Bayern's games are usually entertaining and there have been three or more goals in 10 of their last 11 outings.

Leg 2 – Borussia Dortmund to beat Mamelodi Sundowns and over 2.5 goals @ 33/50 [Saturday 5pm]

Borussia Dortmund's opener didn't go to plan as they were lucky to come away with a point in their 0-0 draw against Brazilian side Fluminense.

The German outfit have now played their toughest group game and they'll fancy their chances of beating Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa.

Mamelodi Sundowns won their opener against South Korean side Ulsan but facing Dortmund is another level.

BVB should have far too much quality and Niko Kovac will demand a response from his players after their dismal 0-0.

Dortmund to win and over 2.5 goals is our shout as Kovac's side had netted 20 goals in their six games prior to the Fluminense draw.

Leg 3 – Inter Milan -1 on the handicap vs Urawa Red Diamonds @ 57/100 [Saturday 8pm]

Like Dortmund, Inter Milan had a slow start to the competition as they were held to a 1-1 draw against Mexican side Monterrey after Sergio Ramos opened the scoring. 

Former Inter defender Cristian Chivu is now in charge after Simone Inzaghi quit for Saudi's Al-Hilal. 

While it seems it'll take a little time for him to implement his ideas, we can't see anything but a routine win for the Italian side against Urawa Red Diamonds.

Japanese outfit Urawa Red Diamonds are coming off their 3-1 loss against River Plate in their opener and they'll struggle to contain Inter.

We like Inter -1 on the handicap (to win by two or more goals), and we’ve got all you need to know about handicap betting and how you can use it to find the betting edge. 

They've scored 15 goals in their last eight games and Chivu will be well aware they need a win if they are to have a chance of getting out of the group.

Leg 4 – Real Madrid -1 on the handicap vs Pachuca @ 1/2 [Sunday 8pm]

Real Madrid kicked off their tournament with a 1-1 draw against Al-Hilal but they should pull off a convincing victory against Mexican side Pachuca.

Pachuca lost their opener 2-1 against RB Salzburg and they're stepping up in class again against Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid.

We're on Real Madrid -1 on the handicap as they'll simply have too much quality for Pachuca.

Real, who missed a penalty late on to win the game against Al-Hilal, have scored two or more goals in six of their last seven games so expect that to continue.
