Yes, I know that it feels like months without club football after the annoying international break took over last weekend.
However, the good news is that the international break is finally over and we will not get to see it again until March 2025.
This means our favourite club football is back, with action taking place across all of Europe’s domestic leagues this weekend.
The next few weeks will be full of non-stop football games, especially in England, where festive football will take over.
This weekend is fully loaded with some exciting football games ahead of the Champions League next week.
Meanwhile, the NBA Cup also continues this weekend with some exciting games lined up on Saturday.
With that little preview of what to expect this weekend, let’s take a look at some of the top matches to look for and bet on.
Premier League: Ipswich vs Manchester United
The Premier League returns this weekend and all eyes will be on Ipswich Town’s clash against Manchester United as Ruben Amorim makes his bow.
Amorim was appointed as Man Utd’s new manager after Erik Ten Hag was sacked. The Portuguese is tasked with the job of restoring United’s past glory but he already knows the job won’t be easy.
The former Sporting Lisbon manager knows the weight of the job but can make an early impression with a positive result on Sunday.
It has been a poor season for Man Utd so far, with just four wins in the league this season. The Red Devils currently sit in 13th place in the league, showing the amount of work Amorim has to do if he’s to make Man Utd title challengers again.
The league may be out of reach for United, even after 11 games, as they are already 13 points behind leaders, Liverpool.
But the good news for Amorim is that the top four is still achievable as they are currently four points behind Arsenal, who sit in fourth place.
However, if that is going to be a reality this season, Amorim needs to ensure United go on a consistent run of wins, starting against Ipswich.
The omen looks good for United as they have recorded 17 wins in their last 19 matches against newly-promoted teams.
Ipswich will not go down easily, though, as they have a manager who will be eager to impress against his former employers.
Kieran McKenna was on the coaching staff of Man Utd for five years before going on to take charge of Ipswich Town.
Aside from that, the Tractor Boys also come into the game on the back of a stunning 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur.
It has been a rollercoaster return to the Premier League so far for Ipswich, but that win against Spurs just before the international break should galvanise them for this huge clash against the Red Devils.
But despite the win against Spurs and home advantage, Ipswich are the underdogs going into the game.
Mckenna’s men are priced at 5.60 to get the win against United’s 1.60 at Housebets.com
NBA: Denver Nuggets vs Dallas Mavericks
The NBA Cup continues this weekend, with one of the star games taking place in Denver.
The Nuggets host the Dallas Mavericks in a battle of the last two Western Conference finals champions.
Both teams have had an underwhelming start to the season, with the Nuggets (8-5) in the west and the Mavs (8-7). As for the NBA Cup, the two teams are tied 1-1 in Group C behind the Golden State Warriors.
Dallas come into the game on a three-game winning streak, beating OKC, Spurs and the Pelicans in their last three games.
However, they will be without their star man Luka Doncic due to a wrist injury, that will keep him out of action for at least three games.
The good news for Dallas is that Denver are also likely to be without Nikola Jokic, who has missed the last few games due to personal reasons.
Both teams have met already this season, with Denver prevailing 122-120 win despite Dallas leading in the final minute and Kyrie Irving scoring 43 points.
Denver are the slight favourite for this one. They are priced at 1.67 to win the match, while the Mavs are priced at 2.25.
