World Cup qualifying action is back as England do battle with Wales in their Group 6 tie in Cardiff. England are the favourites and are quoted at 2/5 to do the double over Wales, having beaten them 2-0 at Old Trafford in October last year. Wales are quoted at 6/1, however England will be looking to solidify their position in Group 6 and a win against the Welsh team is vital if England want to remain in control of the group. Other World Cup qualifying action features Northern Ireland vs. Azerbaijan, and Scotland v Italy.

Defending US Open champion Roger Federer has missed the majority of the summer hard court season nursing a minor injury; however, he won the only event in which he competed and is quoted at 1/2 to add the US Open title to his 2005 Wimbledon title. The player who most believe has the best chance to challenge Federer’s supremacy is French Open champion and number 2 seed Rafael Nadal. Spaniard Nadal’s youthful exuberance makes him as strong a challenger as any during the US Open and he is quoted at 5/2. Other players to watch out for are veteran Andre Agassi at 18/1 and world number 14 Thomas Johansson at100/1.

On the women’s side Kim Clijsters has dominated the hard-court season and has looked strong during the past few weeks. Odds of 2/1 may look very generous by this time next week. Another strong contender is Venus Williams, the elder Williams sister who, has never failed to follow up a Wimbledon victory with an US open title and is currently quoted at 9/1. Other players to watch out for are Frenchwoman A. Mauresmo at 14/1 and veteran Mary Pierce at 40/1.

This weekend also features Formula One action from Imola in Italy and the highlight of the cricket domestic season, with Hampshire facing Warwickshire in the C & G Trophy Final. It will be a great weekend of sports betting and coral.co.uk has you covered.
