class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the Gunners in prolific form but leaking goals at the back, Goal expects another high-scoring friendly with Thomas Tuchel's men

Arsenal and Chelsea will continue their preparations for the Premier League season when they go head-to-head at Emirates Stadium in Sunday’s Mind Series clash.

The Gunners lost 2-1 to Hibs and drew 2-2 with Rangers in their first two friendly matches of the summer, although they have since beaten both Millwall and Watford 4-1 in behind-closed-doors games.

Arsenal vs Chelsea latest odds

Having come out on top in each of their last three matches against this opposition, they are available at 8/5 (2.60) to record a morale-boosting win here.
 
Thomas Tuchel’s men have thrashed Peterborough 6-1 in a behind-closed-doors match before beating Bournemouth 2-1 in their first official pre-season friendly clash and are priced at 11/8 (2.38) to come out on top against their London rivals.
 
Just one of the last eight encounters between this pair has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 12/5 (3.40) on them cancelling each other out in this one.

Arsenal vs Chelsea team news

Ben White will be hoping for a runout after joining from Brighton on Friday, while fellow new signings Nuno Tavares and Albert Sambi Lokonga will also be looking to impress.

N’Golo Kante and Kai Havertz could get their first minutes of pre-season after returning to training this week, with free transfer Marcus Bettinelli in line for a debut in goal.

Arsenal vs Chelsea preview

Considering his side has failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their four pre-season matches so far this summer, it is perhaps no surprise that Mikel Arteta has chosen to splash out on bringing in White from Brighton in an effort to shore up the defence.

Nevertheless, he will have been delighted by the early form of his attacking players, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Nicolas Pepe all getting on the scoresheet alongside exciting young talent such as Eddie Nketiah and Miguel Azeez.

They will be confident of causing plenty of problems for a Blues side that is missing key defensive players and has less match practice under its belt this summer.

Arsenal vs Chelsea predictions

All in all, odds of 20/21 (1.95) seem generous on both teams getting on target and over 2.5 goals being scored for Arsenal’sifth and Chelsea’s third successive pre-season game.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both teams looking solid at the back, Goal expect a tight Olympic semi-final encounter between the hosts and La Rojita

Japan will be looking to take their place in a first ever Olympic Games gold medal match when they face Spain in Tuesday’s semi-final.

Hajime Moriyasu’s team seem to have made the most of home advantage despite the lack of fans this summer, making it to the final four for only the second time in their history.

Japan vs Spain latest odds

However, they are 11/4 (3.75) outsiders with bet365 to go one better by coming out on top against the 1992 champions.

La Rojita have reached this stage for the first time since claiming silver at Sydney 2000 and are 21/20 (2.05) to reach another final with a victory at the Saitama Stadium, or priced at 11/5 (3.20) to be held to a sixth draw in seven matches in all competitions.

Japan vs Spain team news

Takehiro Tomiyasu is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards, although Hiroki Sakai is available once again following a one-match ban.

Oscar Mingueza is doubtful after coming off injured in the quarter-final victory over the Ivory Coast and Dani Ceballos is also ruled out, while Oscar Gil is back from suspension.

Japan vs Spain preview

Having failed to break down a New Zealand team that had shipped three goals to Honduras in the group stages last time out, the Samurai Blue must now find their way past an opposition backline that has only conceded four times in five fixtures.

While this is a tall order, the fact they have only let in a single goal in their last four games themselves suggests they will also provide stern resistance at the back.

Indeed, this pair cancelled each other out in a 1-1 pre-tournament draw last month, so it would be no surprise if there was little to separate them once again.

Japan vs Spain preview

All in all, odds of 7/10 (1.70) look like solid value on under 2.5 goals being scored for Spain’s fifth game in six and a fourth in six for Japan, as well as a third meeting in three between the sides.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having produced plenty of goalmouth action at both ends so far, Goal expect El Tri to ensure an entertaining semi-final against Andre Jardine's men

Brazil will be out for revenge when they take on Mexico in Tuesday’s Olympic Games semi-final at the Kashima Soccer Stadium.

These sides met in the final in London at the 2012 games, with El Tri pulling off a memorable upset with a  2-1 victory to claim their only ever gold medal in men’s soccer.

Mexico vs Brazil latest odds

However, they are 13/5 (3.60) outsiders with bet365 to book their place in the final with another surprise win over the current champions, or priced at 12/5 (3.40) to take them all the way to extra-time after a deadlocked 90 minutes.

Andre Jardine’s side have won three and lost none of their four matches at this summer’s games and are even money (2.00) favourites to come out on top here.

Mexico vs Brazil team news

Jorge Sanchez is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards and Erick Aguirre is injured, although Carlos Rodriguez should return in midfield after serving a one-match ban.

Matheus Cunha will need to be assessed after limping off with a thigh injury during his match-winning performance in the 1-0 quarter-final victory over Egypt.

Mexico vs Brazil preview

After being knocked out in the group stages as they attempted to defend their gold medal in 2016, Jaime Lozano’s team are looking far more of a force to contend with at this tournament.

They have certainly made a splash thanks to their exciting attacking brand of football, scoring 14 goals in just four matches en route to the semi-finals – albeit conceding six at the other end and keeping just one clean sheet.

That form makes for a mouth-watering contest against the Selecao, whose own array of attacking talent – led by current top scorer Richarlison – will surely enable them to at least match their opponents in front of goal.

Mexico vs Brazil predictions

Although Brazil have struggled to break down Ivory Coast and Egypt teams that have set up defensively at this tournament, Mexico’s bold approach should make odds of 17/20 (1.85) excellent value on over 2.5 goals being scored in an exciting semi-final in Kashima.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With more competitive football under their belts and a strong home record, Goal expect the team from Sweden to prove tough opposition for the Gers

Rangers will be hoping to take a step towards Champions League qualification when they travel to Eleda Stadion to take on Malmo on Tuesday.

After lifting their first Scottish title in a decade last season, Steven Gerrard’s men are now hoping to qualify for the Champions League group stages for the first time since 2010.

Malmo vs Rangers latest odds

Having lost just two of their last 56 competitive fixtures in all competitions, Rangers are 21/20 (2.05) favourites with bet365 to take the upper hand in this tie by coming out on top in Sweden.

The Sky Blue have failed to reach the group stages since 2015 despite losing none of their last 10 qualification matches, but are available at 5/2 (3.50) to move one step closer to qualification with a victory here.

The sides shared a 1-1 draw at this ground when they met here back in a qualifier in 2011, and you can get odds of 12/5 (3.40) on them playing out a stalemate once again.

Malmo vs Rangers team news

Ianis Hagi is a doubt after limping off in Saturday’s 3-0 win over Livingston, while Glen Kamara and Kemar Roofe are suspended and Alfredo Morelos is currently in Covid-19 quarantine following his return from Colombia.

Ola Toivonen is the hosts’ only absentee, as he continues in his recovery from a long-term knee injury.

Malmo vs Rangers preview

While they started the new domestic season as they finished the last with a thoroughly dominant victory over Livingston, the Gers will face a significant step up in this crucial European game.

With a number of key players absent through injury and suspension, they will need to be at the top of their game as they face the Swedish champions.

Jon Dahl Tomasson’s team is currently enjoying a six-match winning streak on home turf and has significantly more competitive match practice under its belt as the Allsvenskan is currently approaching the half-way stage.

Malmo vs Rangers predictions

With this in mind, odds of 8/11 (1.73) seem fairly generous on Malmo at least avoiding defeat against a Rangers team that has not played at this level in a decade.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having beaten Arsenal with a youthful line-up, Al Hain-Cole expects Tuchel's reinforced team to prove too strong for a Spurs side missing Kane

Chelsea will be hoping to round off their pre-season preparations with a win when they welcome Tottenham to Stamford Bridge in Wednesday’s Mind Series clash.

The Blues have enjoyed a positive summer so far, beating Bournemouth before overcoming Arsenal last time out.

Chelsea vs Tottenham latest odds

With a European Super Cup coming up next, Chelsea are 7/10 (1.70) favourites with bet365 to record another morale-boosting friendly win over Premier League opposition.

Nuno Espirito Santo has overseen victories over Colchester and MK Dons since the 1-1 draw with Leyton Orient in his first match in charge, and Tottenham are available at 16/5 (4.20) to make a strong statement by coming out on top here.

Two of the last three encounters between this duo have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 14/5 (3.80) on them cancelling each other out in this one.

Chelsea vs Tottenham team news

Ben Chilwell, Reece James, Emerson, Jorginho and Mason Mount have returned to training this week following their involvement in the Euro 2020 final, while Andreas Christensen, Thiago Silva, Ethan Ampadu and Cesar Azpilicueta will also be hoping for their first run-outs of pre-season.

Harry Kane’s status is up in the air after he reportedly failed to return to training as he seeks a move away, although Giovani Lo Celso and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg could be available after rejoining the squad.

Chelsea vs Tottenham preview

Although they may have got a couple of wins under their belts without Kane this summer, his continued absence has started to cast a dark cloud over Spurs’ pre-season preparations.

It is certainly not an ideal backdrop for this high-profile warm-up clash against their local rivals, who come into the game in high spirits after lifting the Champions League last season and with all the talk of big incoming transfers rather than outgoing.

Even without any arrivals, Thomas Tuchel’s almost full-strength squad should have enough quality to overcome a weakened Tottenham – particularly given their victory over Arsenal just days ago without many first-team players.

Chelsea vs Tottenham tips & predictions

Indeed, those 7/10 (1.70) odds seem like solid value on the hosts heading into their upcoming European Super League clash on the back of a third successive pre-season win.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having cancelled each other out in the group stage, Al Hain-Cole doesn't expect many goals when the Matildas take on Andonovski's side in Kashima

Australia will be hoping to secure their first ever Olympic medal in soccer when they take on the USA in Thursday’s bronze medal match.

The Matildas are already enjoying their breakthrough tournament despite a narrow 1-0 semi-final defeat to Sweden, having never previously made it past the quarter-finals.

Australia vs USA latest odds

Already on a high, Australia can be backed at 7/2 (4.50) with bet365 to go one step further by coming out on top against the record four-times gold medallists.

Vlatko Andonovski’s USA side have failed to reach the final for the second time in a row after five successive appearances but are available at 8/11 (1.73) to salvage some pride by coming out on top at the Kashima Soccer Stadium.

This pair played out a tight 0-0 draw when they met in the group stage, and you can get odds of 11/4 (3.75) on them taking this game into extra-time following another stalemate.

Australia vs USA team news

Ellie Carpenter is suspended due to the red card she picked up for a professional foul in the dying stages of the Sweden match.

Goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher has been ruled out after suffering a knee injury that forced her off in the first half of the quarter-final defeat to Canada.

Australia vs USA preview

Although they will have been disappointed to lose out to Sweden despite putting in a strong performance and having a goal controversially ruled out with the score still at 0-0, Tony Gustavsson’s team will be confident of bouncing back despite the calibre of opposition.

It is safe to say that the USWNT have not been anywhere near their usual standards at this summer’s games, with their only win in normal time in five matches coming against underdogs New Zealand.

Indeed, the world champions almost seemed more concerned with shutting Sam Kerr and Co. down when the teams met in the group stage, putting in a surprisingly passive performance to draw 0-0.

Australia vs USA tip & predictions

Should they step out with a similar game plan on Thursday, even money (2.00) will look like excellent value on under 2.5 goals being scored for a second match in succession for both USA and Australia.
