Saturday Sports ACCA: An MLS draw the headline in a 30/1 weekend wager

Bet 1: Back Charlotte FC to draw with New York Red Bulls at 12/5

As the newest MLS expansion team, Charlotte FC had a tough introduction, losing their opening three games, but they have improved significantly since then, winning five of their last eleven, which has been enough to lift them to mid-table in the Eastern Conference.

They are the underdogs here, and it's worth noting that the Red Bulls have looked particularly effective on the road so far this season, but I think Charlotte are underestimated under their interim coach Christian Lattanzio.

The home side have dominated possession in most of their games so far, and have a good defensive record. Given that the visitors are without at least six first-team players, I think Charlotte have a good chance of earning a point here.

Bet 2: Back Mitbaahy to win the Scurry Stakes at 4/1

There's another busy weekend of racing ahead, including this intriguing Listed sprint for three-year-olds on the Sandown card.

Clive Cox's Caturra is the highest rated of these and has put in two solid performances in Group-level contests this season, but I like the look of the improving Mitbaahy from the Roger Varian stable.

The Profitable colt had a mixed record as a two-year-old, but has found his form this season, finishing second on his reappearance before winning a similar race to this one at Hamilton at the start of May. Mitbaahy will need to improve again to challenge Caturra, but seems to be progressive and looks a good bet.

Bet 3: Back England to beat Italy at 4/5

Last year's Euro 2020 finalists meet again in the Nations League on Saturday, but both have been in patchy form lately.

After suffering a 3-0 thrashing by Argentina in the Finalissima, Italy were held by Germany before scraping a narrow win over Hungary, while England lost in Budapest before earning a point in Munich in midweek.

One notable feature of that draw in Germany was the tactical adjustment that Gareth Southgate made in the second half, enabling England to get back into the game. That was a promising sign from a manager who has been criticised for his inflexible approach, and with home advantage against an Italian team that is entering yet another rebuilding phase, I think England are a solid betting proposition.
