Jan 30, 2023 • 2 min read

This is the first of many upcoming weekly sports blogs that will highlight games to watch and bet on the Lunabets.

Last weeks round ups:

Australian Open: Djokovic wins the Australian open for the 10th time.
NBA: Terry Rozier scores 31 points as Charlotte Hornets topple Miami Heat. Officials miss foul on Lebron James as the Lakers lose to the Celtics 125-121.
NFL: Chiefs to face Eagles in Super Bowl 57.
Football: Manchester City score a late winner to beat Arsenal and proceed to the 5th round.

The Premier League stand out matches for this week:

This is another important match for the title contenders Manchester City. Historically they have always found Tottenham to be a tough opponent and, although last week they beat the side 4-2 at the Etihad, they are now away from home and face a Tottenham that must reverse their present form in order to remain in the race for top 4.

Chelsea vs Fulham (Friday 3rd February)

The West London derby is important for pride as much as for points. 7th place Fulham face their 10th place rivals at Stamford Bridge in what will be a very important game for both clubs. Chelsea are struggling to find their feet this season having only won 1 game in their last 5 games however a win at home will take them above Fulham in the League.

Ones to watch:

Nets vs Lakers (Tues 31/01)

Eastern conference rivalry made up of so many superstars including the likes of Giannis and Jimmy Butler.

Nets vs Celtics (Thu 02/02)

Warriors vs Nuggets (Fri 03/02)

The reigning champions go head-to-head with this year's best team and MVP favourite Jokic.

The All-Star game will feature a three game tournament played in a 3-on-3 format and showcasing teams from each NHL division. Each of the four teams will include nine skaters and two goalies.

Next week marks the beginning of the 6 Nations Championship.

They are currently on flying form and are the number 1 team in the world.
Last year's tournament champions France have experienced significant injuries running up to the 6 Nations.
