Will Norwich and Olympiacos give us a pre-season THRILLER? Championship club and Evangelos Marinakis' side are 10/1 to provide us with over 5.5 goals!
Having beaten Northampton Town (not so continental) 3-1, then drawn 1-1 with Volendam and Zulte Waregem, Liam Manning's men now add some Champions League ilk to their schedule.
The Championship side will hope to catch Evangelos Marinakis' club on an off day when they meet at 11am on Friday.
Sky Bet are offering various odds for under/over a certain amount of goals in the game.
If you reckon there will be 5.5 or more, then they cater to that fancy with a 10/1 offer.
At the other end of the scale, if you think there will be fewer than 0.5 goals - which sounds like a 0-0 to you and me - then the odds are 14/1.
For 3.5 goals or more, you're looking at 15/8, but if you're predicting under that, the odds will be 2/5.

King urges Lionesses to target World Cup glory after ‘great pride' of Euros win
The King has congratulated England on retaining their Women's European Championship crown, saying it is a source of 'great pride' for the country. England beat world champions Spain 3-1 on penalties in the Euro 2025 final in Basel after a 1-1 draw to defend the title they won three years ago. Writing a message entitled 'Congratulations England' on the The Royal Family X account, Charles said: 'This brings you, your manager and all your support team my most heartfelt congratulations on winning the Euros 2025. 'For more years than I care to remember, England fans have sung that famous chant 'football's coming home'. 'As you return home with the trophy you won at Wembley three years ago, it is a source of great pride that, through sporting skill and awesome teamwork, the Lionesses have made those words ring true. For this, you have my whole family's warmest appreciation and admiration. 'More than that, though, you have shown through your example over past weeks that there are no setbacks so tough that defeat cannot be transformed into victory, even as the final whistle looms. 'Well done, Lionesses. The next task is to bring home the World Cup in 2027 if you possibly can!' The Prince of Wales was spotted in the stands applauding and celebrating with those around him – including his daughter Princess Charlotte. William was among those to heap praise on striker Michelle Agyemang, who was named young player of the tournament. As the presentation ceremony took place, William exchanged words with Agyemang, appearing to say, 'Well played, fantastic, well done'. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer also offered his congratulations after England's victory in Switzerland. In a post on X, the Prime Minister said: 'Champions! Congratulations @Lionesses – what a team. What a game. What drama. 'You dug deep when it mattered most and you've made the nation proud. History makers.' Lisa Nandy, the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, said: 'What an absolutely extraordinary achievement by our Lionesses – once again they have made history and united the country with pride and joy. 'The Lionesses have not just won a tournament – they have inspired millions with their skill, determination and heart. Huge congratulations to Sarina Wiegman, her brilliant squad, and everyone who has supported them on this incredible journey.' Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham paid tribute to the Lionesses' creating English football history and said a victory parade in London on Tuesday would 'give England fans an opportunity to celebrate with the players'. He said: 'Our history-making Lionesses are champions of Europe for the second successive time, and have become the first England Senior team in history to win a tournament overseas. 'We are so proud of all of the players, Sarina and the support team who have all been part of this incredible achievement. 'They have all worked unbelievably hard and we know the nation shares our pride. The victory celebration in London on Tuesday will give England fans an opportunity to celebrate with the players, and be part of history. 'We've had amazing support from our fans both in Switzerland and at home throughout the tournament, and we look forward to celebrating together and creating some lifelong memories.'

Why Beth Mead was allowed to take penalty twice in England's Euro 2025 triumph
There was yet more high drama and controversy as England overcame world champions Spain on penalties to successfully defend their European Championship title in Switzerland. For the third match in succession, the Lionesses were forced to come from behind to secure victory after Mariona Caldentey opened the scoring for Spain midway through the first half at Basel's St Jakob-Park. Having been introduced from the bench in place of the injured Lauren James, Chloe Kelly was once again England's super-sub hero as she delivered a pinpoint cross for Alessio Russo's 57th-minute header to make it all square. And it was Kelly's spot-kick at the end of a nerve-jangling shootout that saw the holders get their hands on the trophy – three years on from their famous victory over Germany at Wembley. Sarina Wiegman's side looked have got off to a dream start in the shootout as Beth Mead sent Spain goalkeeper Cata Coll the wrong way from 12 yards, despite slipping in her run-up. However, replays clearly showed that Mead had touched the ball twice before finding the back of the net, meaning she had to try to regather her composure to retake her penalty – which was subsequently saved. Mead could have been forgiven for watching the rest of the shootout through her fingers following her miss and the Arsenal forward would have had her mouth as Leah Williamson's tame effort was denied by Coll, with England holding a 2-1 lead. But Salma Paralluelo dragged her strike wide to ensure the trophy would remain with England, as long as Kelly was successful with her strike. Just last month, the law was changed on 'double-touch' penalties after Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez highly contentious disallowed spot-kick in the side's Champions League last-16 defeat to Real Madrid. More Trending Alvarez slipped and made contact with his standing leg before Real Madrid went on to prevail to book their spot in the quarter-finals. Issuing a clarification to Law 14 in response, the International Football Association Board (IFAB) confirmed that penalties which had been touched twice would now be allowed to be retaken in cases where it was 'clearly unintentional' – but only if the kick was successful.

Premiership clubs' foreign signings and Gilmour, Ferguson and Hickey going abroad are worrying signs says Bill Leckie
Our man questions what makes domestic managers look overseas for their stars instead of into their academies HOME DISCOMFORTS Premiership clubs' foreign signings and Gilmour, Ferguson and Hickey going abroad are worrying signs says Bill Leckie THERE are no airs and graces about them. They have hunger and ambition. Advertisement 3 Jim Goodwin fielded a Dundee United team without a single Scottish starter on Thursday Credit: PA 3 Billy Gilmour moved to England then to Italy to get his chance in senior football Credit: Reuters 3 Lewis Ferguson started out at Aberdeen but moved to Bologna instead of staying in Scotland Credit: Getty They appreciate the chance they've been given. Jim Goodwin's explanation of why he put his European hopes in the hands of a busload of foreigners should make every young Scottish footballer sit up and take notice. Advertisement But in the wake of a night when he fielded the first team in Dundee United's competitive history without a homegrown starter, there was another line that should also have cut every chairman, manager and coach in the land to the quick. The one where he admitted his imports 'aren't used to being pampered by academies'. Wow. What an indictment of a system that was supposed to feed our national sport for generations to come, but which is instead providing us with little more than scraps. If that sounds harsh, then check these numbers from games involving our top 12 teams over the past few days. Rangers started two Scots — John Souttar and Findlay Curtis — against Panathinaikos in the Champions League on Tuesday. Advertisement Celtic went with four against Ajax the following evening in Tony Ralston, Dale Murray, Kieran Tierney and Callum McGregor, but of those, only the last two will be first picks once the real stuff starts. Hibs fielded four in the Europa League on Thursday night, Aberdeen had two against Ipswich on Friday. Hearts had six starting Scots against Sunderland on Saturday, while Killie had seven against East Fife and Livi six against Kelty Hearts. Huge thunderstorms at Ajax vs Celtic St Mirren and Dundee played three each against Ayr and Montrose, and Motherwell used just the two in Friday's friendly against Hertha Berlin. Of our entire top flight, only newly-promoted Falkirk kept the flag properly flying, playing ten Scots against Spartans on Saturday along with Brad Spencer, born in London to a Glaswegian dad. Advertisement That means of 132 players lining up at kick-off, only 50 qualify for that national team we're meant to be supplying. So we can grumble about the route Goodwin and United have gone down, as we've heard so many do since that Conference League tie last Thursday. Or maybe we can look at the key reasons why it's getting tougher and tougher for homegrown talent to make it on their own doorstep. Reasons which, while hard to hear and harder still to swallow, the Tannadice gaffer appears to have hit squarely on the head with his reasoning behind his signing policy. One which has taken him to the Netherlands, Croatia, Finland, Macedonia, Sweden and Australia rather than Netherlee, Cupar, Falkirk, Montrose, Sauchie and Auchterarder. Advertisement Because, for me at least, in bigging up the positive traits of a job-lot who fly in the face of everything the legendary Jim McLean put in place during the club's heyday, Goodwin is also giving our academies and the sort of players they produce their character. What he seems to be saying is that our youngsters DO have airs and graces about them, that they DON'T display the same hunger and ambition, that maybe they aren't as appreciative of the chance they've been given. Most damning of all, though? Have YOU got a point for Kris Boyd? Kris Boyd and Roger Hannah chew over the big talking points each week SOMETHING you've just got to get off your chest from the weekend action? A burning Scottish football talking point you can't wait to bring up with Kris Boyd and Roger Hannah? SunSport's GoBallistic show wants to hear from you! So why not help set the Scottish football agenda for the week ahead! Have your say on the game's big topics by emailing us on: GoBallistic@ It's YOUR turn to Go Ballistic! That they've got used to a set-up that pampers them. I wouldn't imagine for a moment he's claiming our academies aren't fit for purpose. Advertisement I also wouldn't dare suggest that he doesn't believe there are any good Scottish kids coming through. But it seems crystal clear that he doesn't believe they're producing the right kind of talent, physically or mentally, for our domestic game. Ask yourself how many are playing regularly for your team. Then ask yourself why so many, from Billy Gilmour to Lewis Ferguson to Aaron Hickey and more besides, have decided the only way to achieve their potential is go abroad and pretty much learn the game from scratch. Of course, Scottish teams playing without any Scottish players is nothing new. Advertisement It was March 2000 when Rangers did it for the first time, starting a 0-0 draw against St Johnstone with an Overseas XI. Stefan Klos, Lorenzo Amoruso, Arthur Numan, Andrei Kanchelskis, Gio van Bronckhorst, Rod Wallace, Jorg Albertz, Claudio Reyna, Tony Vidmar, Seb Rozental and Tugay. Difference was, you could see that coming from a mile off. Rangers fans unfurl giant tifo ahead of Russell Martin's first match It had seemed a natural next step ever since Graeme Souness arrived and more especially once Dick Advocaat took charge. But to see a once self-sufficient club like United go full-on foreign for such a big game? Well, that should pull us all up a bit sharp. Advertisement As, for that matter, should the shrinking number of Scots playing on a regular basis the higher we go up the food chain. If it works as well for Jim Goodwin as it has for, say Stephen Robinson at St Mirren, where he's identified a certain mix of power, pace and stature from England, Ireland and now Jamaica that he doesn't believe is available up here, then good luck to both of them, because their only job is to win games. If seeing Scottish players fritter into the minority pretty much right across the Premiership doesn't worry anyone and everyone who's invested in our game, though? Well, don't say you weren't warned when we run out for a World Cup qualifier one day with 11 guys who all qualified through their grannies.
