Salford have been the surprise package to begin the season, not just for winning both games but the manner in which they have done so. They have only conceded two tries so far and with the Rhinos looking average in attack and poor in defence, Leeds could be in for another difficult afternoon.

The Qalandars have the team to do much better in this edition of the PSL but they demonstrated their losing mentality once again on Thursday in their opening match. They will have to shake that quickly if they are to compete in this tournament and they face a tough task against the Kings who have started well.

Multan Sultans narrowly lost in their first match but it was a valiant effort despite missing so many key batsmen. They may struggle in the first few matches of this tournament until they do recoup some batsmen and they will hope James Vince will be available soon after the Sydney Sixers lost in the Big Bash semi-finals.

The BBL08 final will be an all-Melbourne affair as the Renegades host the Stars in a mouth-watering prospect at Marvel Stadium but the home side will need a big performance to beat their rivals here.

Internazionale have won their last two matches 1-0 and they have secured 1-0 victories in two of their last four home league matches. Sampdoria, and more importantly Fabio Quagliarella, have failed to score in their last two league games including a 1-0 loss to Frosinone last weekend, so a resolute Inter victory looks likely.

Napoli have won their last five home league matches, not conceding in three, and they have kept clean sheets in their last three Serie A games. Torino, meanwhile, have not won any of their last six Serie A matches, failing to score in three of these games. Napoli look good for a shutout on Sunday.

Ajax were three minutes away from holding Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw in their midweek Champions League encounter, only to be denied by a late winner for Los Blancos. Erik ten Hag will be confident of his side bouncing back emphatically with a convincing win over NAC Breda.

It would take a dramatic turnaround in form for Girona to claim any reward at Santiago Bernabeu and a repeat of Real Madrid's 3-1 win over Eusebio Sacristan's side in the Cope del Rey in January seems more likely. Real won 2-1 at Ajax on Wednesday, but fatigue should not be an issue.

There have been four or more goals in four of PSV Eindhoven's last five Eredivisie matches and in two of those they have been held to 2-2 draws. It has been a somewhat shaky few weeks for the league leaders who have dropped points at Emmen and Utrecht but they will expect to win at Heerenveen.

This could wind up being an entertaining match, given that the score was 3-2 to Swansea when the sides met earlier this season. Over 2.5 goals has landed in seven of Swansea's last eight home FA Cup matches and that looks a nice angle into what is a tricky tie from which to pick the match winner.

Doncaster Rovers have been quick starters in the FA Cup this season, having scored the opening goal in their four cup matches. Although they are unlikely to pull off an upset against Crystal Palace, they should be a bit of value to cause a stir by hittng the net first on Sunday.

This should be a high-quality encounter given that Bristol City have racked up nine consecutive victories in all competitions and Wolves sit seventh in the Premier League after a stellar campaign so far. A draw after 90 minutes may be the safest play in a match which could go to extra-time.
