Marco Bezzecchi surprised the motorcycle world by claiming a shocking pole position with his Aprilia machine, just 0.016 seconds ahead of Alex Márquez.

16 August 2025 Brennan Johnson enters the new season as Tottenham's biggest scoring threat after becoming the team's top league scorer last season with 11 goals. The Welsh forward also has an excellent record against newcomers - he scored four goals in his last two league matches against newly promoted teams, making him a key player for today's encounter. Tottenham's new signing Mohammed Kudus brings another dimension to the team. The Ghanaian midfielder averaged 2.2 fouls won per 90 minutes in last season's Premier League and demonstrated consistency by winning at least two fouls in seven of his last nine league starts. His ability to disrupt opposition play could be crucial in difficult moments of the match. Burnley will rely on the offensive strength of Zian Flemming, who dominated the EFL Championship with an average of 2.9 shots per 90 minutes. However, the Dutch midfielder must be careful with discipline - he averaged 2.1 fouls conceded per match. Interest...

16 August 2025 Sunderland can rely on the exceptional performance of defender Trai Hume, who dominated the EFL Championship last season. Only two players made more tackles than the Northern Irish full-back with his 119 challenges (average 2.8 per 90 minutes). However, Hume is not just a defensive specialist - from his right-back position he managed to create an impressive 57 chances, making him a complete modern defender. West Ham will depend on Jarrod Bowen's scoring form, who finished last season's Premier League in excellent mood with four goals in his final four matches. The English forward also has an outstanding record against newcomers - in the 2024-25 season he was involved in six goals in six games against newly promoted teams (4 goals, 2 assists). Brazilian midfielder Lucas Paquetá represents another weapon for the Hammers thanks to his ability to win fouls. In last season's Premier League he averaged 2.3 fouls won per 90 minutes and in each of his last nine l...

  INDIANAPOLIS — Few would have predicted before the season that the Indiana Pacers would be just two wins away from their first NBA title. Yet this team, built without megastars and with one of the league's lowest payrolls, stands on the brink of historic success. In Wednesday's Game 3 of the Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Pacers showed exactly what they're known for: relentless energy, team spirit, and the ability to come alive in the most critical moments. Their 116-107 victory gave them a 2-1 series lead and brought them closer to the coveted championship. A Star with an Awkward Shot and a Big Heart Tyrese Haliburton may not have the most perfect shooting form in the NBA, but his determination and ability to decide games in clutch moments are undeniable. Critics can say what they want - the young point guard is approaching triple-double performances and leading his team where Indiana hasn't been for a quarter-century. "I don't care abou...

  With the Stanley Cup on the line, the NHL's championship series is set to get underway. We're breaking down the matchup and revealing our projection model's pick. It was so good, why not do it again? For the first time since the Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburgh Penguins split a pair of titles in 2008 and 2009, there will be a rematch in the Stanley Cup Final when it gets underway Wednesday in Edmonton.

But the Panthers avoided becoming the second team in NHL history – and the first since the 1942 Detroit Red Wings – to drop four straight after taking a 3-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final. Now here we are again. Road to the Final The Panthers, who claimed the Eastern Conference title with a five-game series win over the Carolina Hurricanes, make their third straight Final ap...
