🥊 00:30*: Oleksandr Usyk (Ukraine) vs. Daniel Dubois (Great Britain), title fight
*The combat time is approximate.
Intrigue: Will Dubois deprive Usyk of all belts?
Boxing fans dreamed of seeing the fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, but the parties could not agree. Therefore, Usyk will defend his heavyweight belts from Daniel Dubois, a talented athlete, but not the most stellar. Alexander is considered the unanimous favourite, but only a successful punch can decide the outcome, because this is a heavyweight division. And Dubois’ forte is simply a knockout with both hands.

⚽️ 2:30: New York Red Bulls v Inter Miami, MLS
Intrigue: Messi finally made it to MLS!
Shockingly, Leo has already fallen in love with North America, won a trophy with Miami, scored ten goals, and incidentally didn’t play a game in MLS. It is that before Messi was charming in the Cups, and now he will debut in Major League Soccer (MLS). The inter positions are worse than ever: last place in the Eastern Conference. To the playoff zone: 20 points, minimum. But for Leo nothing is impossible and his Inter is as inspired as possible.

⚽️ 2:00 p.m.: Rennes – Le Havre Ligue 1, matchday 3
Mystery: Will Kuzyaev shine again in the French championship?
Le Havre remains winless in the Ligue 1 season. The team has one point from two rounds. In the last game against Brest (1:2), the only goal for Le Havre was scored by Daler Kuzyaev. This ball was the first for a Russian in France. Will Daler continue the series in a game with a more serious opponent: Rennes? There are possibilities, but it will be difficult. Yes, and it’s time to beat Le Havre. Three days without three points is not the best start to the season.

⚽️ 4:00 p.m.: Sheffield United – Manchester City, Premier League, matchday 3
Intrigue: Will Guardiola’s car stop the Premier League rookie?
“City” is the main favorite of the Premier League (well, who else?) “Citizens” confirmed their status in two initial rounds. Ahead is the exit to Sheffield, which has just returned to the elite. United started the season with two defeats, the Club wants to score the first points. Yes, it’s difficult to do against City, but the home factor will help Sheffield. There are chances for a mini sensation to occur. Will we see a surprised Guardiola after the game?

🏎 16:00: Formula 1 – Dutch Grand Prix Race
Mystery: will there be a new orange fire?
Summer vacation in Formula 1 Max Verstappen and Red Bull dominated Formula 1. At the same time, after the return of the Zandvoort track to the World Championship, only Verstappen won races on it, on the occasion of which the Dutch fans they put on a powerful fire show. It is true that this time the organizers and the police seemed to plan to remove these very flares, so at the end of the race we will see to what extent this fight will succeed. Or maybe Verstappen won’t win and just not give the fans a reason to celebrate? Anyway, any winning streak ends sooner or later…

⚽️ 6:30 p.m.: Newcastle – Liverpool, Premier League, matchday 3
Intrigue: Will Newcastle stumble again in the match against Liverpool?
Liverpool are the only Premier League club to have beaten Newcastle twice last season. Despite placing the Forty in the top 4 and not being the best result for the Reds (fifth final place), Eddie Howe’s team did not find an approach to Klopp’s gang. There is a chance to take revenge already in the third round of the 2023/2024 season. Liverpool started the league with a draw against Chelsea and a win against Bournemouth. Newcastle defeated Aston Villa and lost to Manchester City. Now another formidable opponent. A promising meeting will take place in St. James Park!

⚽️ 18:30: Villarreal – Barcelona, La Liga, matchday 3
Intrigue: Barça’s first big game of the new season.
Barça started inexpressively in the Example. Xavi’s team did not beat Getafe and then forced victory over Cádiz. The Catalans are too predictable without Sergio Busquets and Ousmane Dembélé. While Xavi looks for the perfect combination, the garnets come to visit Villarreal. The Yellow Submarine at the start of the Championship lost to Betis and beat Mallorca. Now both clubs await the first important game of the season. In Villarreal’s favor, they play their own field and the problems of Barça. But the Catalans are still a giant, capable of getting results even without the best game.

⚽️ 6:30 p.m.: Bayern – Augsburg, Bundesliga, second day
Intrigue: Will Kane continue the show in Germany?
Harry Kane has had a great start to the season at Bayern. The Englishman scored 1+1 in the match against Werder Bremen. And this immediately justifies the multi-million dollar investment from Munich. In the round of 16, Bayern host modest Augsburg at home. A parade of goals is expected, including Kane’s. If you want to see how Harry integrates into the great German championship, the match is a must. Also, teams are unlikely to get bored.

⚽️ 7:30 p.m.: Juventus – Bologna, Serie A, matchday 2
Mystery: Will Allegri face Juve’s second opponent of the season?
In the first round, Juventus defeated Udinese at home. An unexpected result, given the strength of the rival and the problems of Max Allegri’s team. But Juve are famous for that, for winning even in spite of it. In the second game, the Zebras will face a less serious rival: Bologna. Although she is trained by the rather progressive Thiago Motta. What will the Brazilian Italian Allegri offer? Can he surprise Max and take points away from Juve? Or the hosts will face Bologna without problems.

⚽️ 20:00: Sochi – Lokomotiv, RPL, matchday 6
Intrigue: Will Loko take the winning path in Sochi?
Lokomotiv have a fever at the start of the season. In the last three rounds, the team scored only two points, and even knocked them out at the end of the meetings with Krylia and Krasnodar. 11th place is not where Loko would like to be. The situation can be corrected in the match against Sochi. Sochi also scored six points in five rounds and is not stable. Lokomotiv may win, but Sochi is also ready to instantly punish the guests for their mistakes. A match whose result is impossible to predict. The more interesting it is to watch such a game!

⚽️ 9:45 p.m.: Napoli – Sassuolo, Serie A, matchday 2
Intrigue: The Italian champion makes his home debut at the hands of Rudi García.
In the first round, Napoli faced Frosinone. Rudy Garcia’s debut was a success. And now the French coach will play for the first time at home. The rival is not the easiest Sassuolo. But the status of Italian champion forces Napoli to win. And I don’t want to disturb my fans at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium. Will he get Garcia’s debut in Naples? We’ll find out tomorrow night!
