DR Congo vs Uzbekistan Predictions – Group K (Match 9)

• Ryan Cook
DR Congo have been one of the harder teams to play against in this group, and they have made both Portugal and Colombia work for everything. They held Portugal to a 1-1 draw, then went down 1-0 to Colombia in a game where they were still organised, physical, and very tough to break down. Yoane Wissa gives them a real outlet in transition, while Cedric Bakambu offers that focal point up front when they can get bodies forward. Uzbekistan are still chasing their first win and have not quite been able to put together a complete 90 minutes across their…

Croatia vs Ghana Predictions – Group L (Match 10)

• Ryan Cook
There is plenty on the line here, with third spot in Group L still up for grabs and both sides needing a result for different reasons. For Ghana, the job is pretty simple. Get at least a point, and they give themselves every chance. Croatia, meanwhile, need all three if they want to keep their tournament alive. Ghana have been a seriously tough side to shift through two games, and last week’s scoreless draw with England was built on discipline, defensive shape, and plenty of hard work without the ball. They were smashed in possession, but they got the result…

Panama vs England Predictions – Group L (Match 9)

• Ryan Cook
It is top against bottom in Group L, and England will be keen to show that last week’s scoreless draw with Ghana was just a minor stumble. Panama have had a tough old time of it, going down 1-0 to Ghana in their opener before losing by the same scoreline to Croatia last week. Injuries have not helped either, with Adalberto Carrasquilla and captain Anibal Godoy both missing, leaving them pretty thin in key areas. England know this opponent well after putting six past them back in 2018, and while this is a different tournament, the matchup still looks pretty…

Egypt vs Iran Predictions – Group G (Match 10)

• Ryan Cook
Egypt should take plenty of confidence from last week’s 3-1 win over New Zealand. That was a much cleaner performance than their opening draw with Belgium. They moved the ball with more purpose, found better spaces in the final third, and looked much more dangerous once Mohamed Salah started getting involved in the right areas. Iran will not make this easy. They are organised, physical, and more than happy to turn games into stop-start contests where rhythm is hard to find. Even so, Egypt look to have found a bit of belief. If they can bring the same tempo and…

New Zealand vs Belgium Predictions – Group G (Match 9)

• Ryan Cook
Belgium still have not really got going after opening with a draw against Egypt and then playing out a scoreless draw with Iran last week. Nathan Ngoy’s red card in the 67th minute did not help, but there is still a bit of pressure building on this Belgian attack. Kevin De Bruyne looked a little sharper and got a couple of shots away, while Romelu Lukaku will be keen to respond after being subbed off in the 72nd minute with a yellow card beside his name. New Zealand, meanwhile, were brought back to earth in a 3-1 loss to Egypt.…

Cape Verde vs Saudi Arabia Predictions – Group H (Match 10)

• Ryan Cook
Cape Verde have been a really interesting watch so far, and there is plenty to like about the way they have gone about it. They were disciplined and organised in their draw with Spain, and then backed that up with another competitive performance. They are happy to sit in, stay compact, and wait for the right moment to break. Saudi Arabia need to show something after being brushed aside 4-0 by Spain, and confidence could be a real issue. This has the feel of a tight, low-scoring game, with Cape Verde’s structure making life awkward for long stretches. Prediction: Under…

Uruguay vs Spain Predictions – Group H (Match 9)

• Ryan Cook
Spain look like they are starting to find their rhythm after a frustrating draw with Cape Verde to open the tournament. They were much sharper last time out, putting Saudi Arabia away 4-0 in a performance that showed what can happen when their passing game gets going. Pedri gives them control in midfield, while Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal bring plenty of pace, width, and creativity. Uruguay have been solid enough with two draws, but solid might not be enough here. Federico Valverde can drive them forward from midfield and Darwin Nunez gives them a genuine threat up top, but…

Caulfield Winter Raceday Preview – Saturday, 27th June

• Ryan Cook
It’s Winter Raceday at Caulfield on Saturday, and we have another stacked nine-race card to dissect. The weather has eased slightly with the track rated a Soft 7 at publish, while the rail is out three metres across the circuit. Just like last week at Flemington, big fields and wide-open contests are the theme right across the day, and you can see where we’ve landed ahead of every race in our Caulfield Preview down below.

2026 Tattersall’s Tiara Day Tips & Preview

• Craig Sheppard
The curtain comes down on another successful Stradbroke Season this Saturday at Eagle Farm, with Tattersall’s Tiara Day taking centre stage. The $700,000 Tattersall’s Tiara headlines the nine-race card, with the fillies and mares feature again serving as the final Australian Group 1 of the racing season. There is plenty for punters to get stuck into outside the main event, with six black-type races across the program, while the Ladbrokes Battle of the Bush Final gives Queensland’s country gallopers their shot at a big payday in town. I’ve gone through every race on the Eagle Farm card and provided my…

Jordan vs Argentina Predictions – Group J (Match 9)

Jordan vs Argentina Predictions – Group J (Match 9)

• Ryan Cook
Argentina have looked every bit a side capable of going very deep, and this looks like another chance for Lionel Scaloni’s men to keep the momentum rolling. Lionel Messi has wound back the clock in a big way with five goals already, and when you add Julian Alvarez’s pressing and movement, plus Lautaro Martinez as another serious option in the final third, there are just too many ways for Argentina to hurt teams. Jordan have competed hard and deserve credit for that, but they are likely to spend long periods chasing the ball here. That is not exactly where you…

Colombia vs Portugal Predictions – Group K (Match 10)

• Ryan Cook
Top spot in Group K is in focus, and this shapes as a really interesting matchup between two sides with plenty of class in the final third. Colombia have looked sharp so far. Luis Diaz has been a handful out wide with his pace and direct running, while James Rodriguez continues to provide that calm head and creativity between the lines. Portugal still have more than enough firepower to cause problems, even if they probably have not hit full stride just yet. Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva can dictate the tempo, and Cristiano Ronaldo remains the obvious target in the…
