Competition: La Liga
Market: Juventus to beat Fiorentina
Odds:

Manuel Neuer has acknowledged Olivier Giroud is a force to be reckoned with, but has stressed Germany do not fear the France striker ahead of Thursday s semi-final.
Giroud found a way past Neuer in both of the Champions League encounters between Arsenal and Bayern Munich in 2015-16, while also finding the net in France s 2-0 friendly win over Germany in November 2015.
He will be looking to score his fourth Euro 2016 goal on Thursday, but Neuer is confident Germany can cope with the 29-year-old.
Giroud is a very dangerous poacher inside the box, Neuer said at a news conference.
He is strong in the air, he is dangerous for central defenders.
But we know him and can prepare for him.

Portuguese newspaper that Everton are leading the race to sign Sporting Lisbon winger Jeffren Suarez.
The talented forward was predicted a bright career when he left Barcelona in the summer of 2011 to join the Lions, but he has had a pretty disappointing start to his spell at Estadio Jose Alvalade.

According to O Jogo, English Premier League is the most likely destination for the 25-year-old, with Everton reportedly keen.
The Toffees have been keeping close tabs on the Spaniard for over a year now and they finally seem ready to step up their interest in the player.
However, Everton could face a stiff competition from three u…

Competition: International Friendly
Market: France to win against Brazil
Odds:
France host Brazil in tonight’s international friendly, with Les Blues the favourites to enjoy yet another win against the Samba Kings. Didier Deschamps’ side have a good past record against Brazil in competitive games, but did lose in their most recent friendly.
