A COUPLE of games have been played in our EFL League Two programme so now is a good time to review the latest promotion odds. League Two betting is intensifying due to only two teams boasting 100% winning records. Conversely, three sides are yet to pick up a point including one of the prominent pre-season favourites. Here is my considered analysis of the leading protagonists to assist your football betting… Barnet Promotion odds: EVS Points tally after two games: 6 Current placing: 1st Top of the embryonic table.

Conor Benn is in serious shape ahead of his WBC welterweight title shot against Ryan Garcia 👀#GarciaBenn l Sept 12th in Las Vegas 🥊 pic.twitter.com/mMfsCbQqU3 — Ring Magazine (@ringmagazine) August 27, 2026 The public reaction told an entirely different story. Fans zeroed in on Benn looking completely drained, pointing out his sunken cheekbones, hollow eyes, and whether his chin can actually hold up against Garcia on September 12 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The alarm is justified. Benn looks nothing like the thick, muscular powerhouse who walked through two bouts against Chris Eubank Jr. His face appears gaunt, his…
Itauma started it by pushing Hrgovic off the edge of an elevated stage, where a bad landing carried more danger than anything likely to happen during a standard staredown. He was upset about Hrgovic stepping in front of him, partially for a double-biceps pose. It was pretty harmless stuff, but Itauma got heated enough to shove Hrgovic while his back was turned. Hrgovic Exposes Itauma’s Temper Hrgovic repeatedly labeled Itauma a protected “golden child” steered carefully toward this title opportunity. The way that Itauma lost his temper today was a signal that Hrgovic’s comments have gotten to him. The reaction…
Just one week into the Premier League season, the expectations surrounding Chelsea are ranging from another finish outside the top four to potential title aspirations. The truth probably lies somewhere in between, especially after a 3-2 win against Fulham. Goals from João Pedro and Morgan Rogers in the first half came either side of a Josh King equaliser, before Cole Palmer provided a two-goal cushion. The Blues were still made to work for a victory, though, as Gonzalo García pulled one back, and they looked defensively frail at points in the game. The performance followed Gary Neville’s comments…
PLENTY of great goals have been scored across our EFL League Two fixtures already this season. Therefore the League Two betting for overall leading scorer is making really fascinating reading. I wonder if anyone can match Swindon Town marksman Aaron Drinan’s tally from 2025/26? He netted 22 League Two goals plus another six within various cup competitions. League 2 Top Scorer Odds 2026/27: Punters can bet on the top goal scorer in the 2026/27 League Two at William Hill and here is the current state of the market: Macaulay Langstaff – 7/2 Kabongo Tshimanga – 9/1 Aaron Drinan – 10/1…
(MVP/Sky Sports) After a respectful build-up between Mikaela Mayer and Chantelle Cameron, the invitation to go nose-to-nose, as it often can, resulted in temperatures rising somewhat at Friday’s weigh in. The pair clash atop an MVP card on Saturday, in Birmingham, England, with each bringing junior middleweight belts to the mix. After getting in each other’s faces and exchanging insults today, they were separated by security. Mayer, 22-2 (5 KOs), will bring the WBC title whereas Cameron, 22-1 (8 KOs) and one year younger at 35, defends the WBO title. Neither came close to the 154lbs division limit. Mayer, also…

The deal gives Smith the opportunity he has pursued through the WBO mandatory system. It also gives trainer Buddy McGirt time to construct a strategy around the weaknesses Artur Beterbiev exposed during his two fights with Bivol. Although Bivol is a superb technical boxer, he is not untouchable. Beterbiev showed that he becomes less comfortable when an opponent keeps advancing, attacks after his combinations, and denies him the space needed to restore his rhythm. McGirt will have studied those sequences closely. Finding the weakness is one thing. Getting Smith to exploit it for 12 rounds is another. Smith Cannot Wait…
Andoni Iraola held his pre-match press conference ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Nottingham Forest this week, and unsurprisingly, the Reds’ transfer business dominated the agenda. The Spaniard didn’t address Bradley Barcola by name, but confirmed the club are working on wing reinforcements, saying “we are trying to sign” a winger. He added: “I hope we can have good news soon but we are still not there”. REUTERS/Vincent Carchietta That reticence hasn’t stopped the Barcola deal moving in the background, with PSG and Liverpool now believed to have settled on a package worth £120m in total – £100m guaranteed plus a…
