Los Angeles Dodgers vs New York Yankees - all weekend from 04:10 CET
The 2024 World Series matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees sees the sides finally meet for the first time this season with a three-game series in the City of Angels.
New York are definitely on the hot streak heading into the series, winning five straight games and nine of their last 10, while the Dodgers are coming off of a road loss to the Cleveland Guardians - splitting their last 10 games.
The Dodgers currently hold the second-best home record (19-9) in baseball while the Yanks are 17-11 on the road. However, the Yankees' +113 run differential is currently the best in baseball, leaving them as the only team with one above +100.
New York (-130) are coming into the series as rightful favourites over the Dodgers (+110) but with Shohei Ohtani on a hot streak hitting the ball right now, anything is possible. So it wouldn't be safe to be fully leaning one way or the other.
Remember, the Dodgers took both home games against the Yankees in the 2024 World Series.

Joao Fonseca vs Jack Draper - 14:00 CET
With the third round well and truly underway at Roland Garros, the headline match over the weekend comes on the men’s side of the tournament between fifth seed Jack Draper and rising star Joao Fonseca.
The Brit has enjoyed a meteoric 12 months, securing the prestigious Masters 1000 title at Indian Wells in March, and with his ranking at an all-time high, he’ll fancy his chances of making a deep run in the French capital.
As for Fonseca, the 18-year-old Brazilian is already one of the most heavily supported players on Tour, attracting huge crowds for his impressive straight-set wins over Hubert Hurkacz and Pierre-Hugues Herbert.
The pair have only met once before, with Draper proving too strong for Fonseca at Indian Wells; however, Saturday’s clash has all the hallmarks of a classic between two of the sport’s most exciting talents,
Make sure you tune in!

PSG vs Inter, Champions League final - 21:00 CET
The UEFA Champions League final; it almost needs no introduction. It really is the biggest match of the year in the club football calendar - that’s right, Club World Cup, you don’t come even close yet. This clash not only closes the European season, but also crowns one team with the continent’s most prestigious prize.
This year’s showpiece is being staged in Munich, where the Allianz Arena will play host to French champions (and cup winners) Paris Saint-Germain and Italian giants Inter Milan.
Simone Inzaghi’s Inter will be featuring in their second Champions League final in three years, but they haven’t lifted the trophy since Jose Mourinho led the side to glory in 2010. That was their third European Cup (if we include previous iterations of the tournament).
As for PSG, manager Luis Enrique is looking to lead the cash-rich Qatar-backed club to their first-ever Champions League title. They last (and for the first time) made the final in 2020, losing to Bayern Munich. The Spanish tactician has won the tournament before, though, with Barcelona in 2015, and he’ll be hoping to channel all that experience on Saturday as they hunt a historic treble.
In many ways, the final presents a clash of styles. If we forget Inter’s high-scoring semi-final tie with Barcelona, Inzaghi’s side are typified by their water-tight defence. Quite incredibly, Inter conceded only one goal in the league phase of the competition, losing just once.
As for PSG, their season has been largely marked by their fluid and swashbuckling attack, led by the reborn Ousmane Dembele and more than ably assisted by Desire Doue, Bradley Barcola and their big-money January addition, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
That’s not to say the Parisians aren’t a good defensive unit, though. Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has been key for them this season. Indeed, so has Inter’s No. 1 Yann Sommer, and in a match between two very good sides, it could be the keepers that decide who gets the ultimate prize.

Los Angeles FC vs Club America - 04:30 CET
As the major club competitions come to a close with the Champions League final on Saturday, attention quickly turns to the new and somewhat controversial Club World Cup.
The best 31 teams, according to coefficients and an array of rules, will descend onto American soil from June 15th, but first, we have a play-in for the final spot.
After Club Leon were omitted from the tournament as they are owned by the same consortium as Club World Cup participants Pachuca, it opened up a spot that LAFC and Club America are trying to fill.
LA are midway through their MLS campaign, finding themselves fifth in the Western Conference and on relatively good form with three wins in their last five games. Club America have finished their season, making the Clausura final but ultimately being beaten over two legs by Toluca.
There are a few familiar names to our European audience to look out for if you brave the 04:30 CET kick-off time. Former Barcelona player Jonathan dos Santos will likely play a part for the Mexican club, whilst Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud will line up for LAFC.
It’s a big game for both sides, given the financial rewards of qualifying, but time will tell how much of a success this fledgling competition will be.

The Spanish Grand Prix - 15:00 CET
If the 2025 Formula 1 season were to be split up into chapters, then the Spanish Grand Prix would mark the beginning of chapter two.
That's often the case with the race in Barcelona with it being the first in which teams can bring major upgrades for their cars, but even more so than usual this year with a technical directive also being introduced, one that could shake up the pecking order.
The directive, which limits the flexibility of front wings, has forced McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull amongst others to introduce new front wings for the race, and the latter two have been pinning their title hopes on the possibility of such changes slowing McLaren down.
Going by the first two practice sessions, that hasn't been the case, and at the time of writing it looks likely that this could be the weekend that all but confirms that McLaren will win the Constructors' Championship and that one of their drivers will win the Drivers' Championship.
Even if that is the case though, we still have a thrilling battle between Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris to look forward to, with just three points separating the teammates. And if it emerges on race day that their machinery has indeed lost some pace, things could get very interesting indeed.
