De acordo com a diretora executiva da Betfair Internacional, Kim Daly, eles estão orgulhosos com sua parceria junto ao Verdão, que é um dos maiores clubes do Brasil.

O Palmeiras continua em grande fase na temporada 2023, e nesta semana a equipe comandada por Abel Ferreira garantiu sua classificação para o mata-mata da Libertadores após vencer o Barcelona, do Equador, de virada. Com esse triunfo e a consequente classificação para as oitavas de final do torneio continental, o Palmeiras garantiu mais uma boa quantia em premiação, mais precisamente US$ 1,25 milhão (cerca de R$ 6,1 milhões), sendo que a vitória sobre a equipe equatoriana fez a equipe tupiniquim embolsar mais US$ 300 mil (aproximadamente R$ 1,47 milhões).
Somando esses valores com as quantias que o time já havia angariado antes da quinta rodada, o Verdão receberá pelo menos R$ 26 milhões em premiação nesta edição da Libertadores. Vale destacar, que a equipe paulista pode receber ainda mais da organizadora da competição, a Conmebol, já que a cada vitória e passagem de fase, o clube recebe uma quantia. Enquanto isso, na Copa do Brasil, o Verdão também já tem um prêmio acumulado interessante. Recentemente, o Alviverde garantiu sua vaga nas quartas de final do torneio nacional e já possui R$ 9,7 milhões em prêmios.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher described one Reds player as “really poor” alongside Milos Kerkez during the 1-0 victory away to Burnley.
Liverpool leave it late to stun Burnley
Yet again, the Reds left it late to win a Premier League game on Sunday, with Mohamed Salah’s last-gasp penalty sealing a priceless win at Turf Moor.
Liverpool are yet to get going this season, in terms of performance level, but their ability to go until the very end of matches is proving to be a priceless asset to have, ensuring they top the table with maximum points.
One player who struggled at Burnley was Kerkez, who was booked for a shocking dive and then substituted in place of Andy Robertson before half-time, with Arne Slot admitting he couldn’t trust the Hungarian to avoid getting a second yellow card.
Speaking on commentary for Sky Sports, Carragher made it clear what he thought of Kerkez’s awful attempts to win a penalty, lambasting the left-back.
“I mean it was a dive, no doubt about that. I don’t think anybody in the stadium thought it wasn’t, it was so theatrical. I mean it was absolutely stupid, that. I don’t think there’s any contact there really, and he’s in a good position! I think he can hook his foot around that and get a cross in. As soon as I seen him make that run I thought he’s gonna be in a really good position on the byline.”
Carragher slams "really poor" Liverpool legend
Kerkez wasn’t the only player who felt the wrath of Carragher in the commentary box, however, with Salah also criticised for his current form, despite his match-winning penalty.
“He’s been really poor again. He just hasn’t really hit those heights of last season so far this season. It was always going to be difficult. But he doesn’t look at the races right now.”
In fairness to Carragher, he does have a valid point with Salah, even though the manner in which he buried the spot-kick was emphatic, outlining the strength of mind he possesses in big moments.
The Liverpool superstar has actually made a very disappointing start to the season, in terms of his all-round involvement in matches, and his general decision-making.
Granted, Salah is adjusting to a new system with Florian Wirtz in it, getting used to new teammates such as the German, Kerkez and Hugo Ekitiké, but the Reds need their iconic attacker to up his level in the coming weeks.
Big-money Liverpool star is now in danger of becoming Slot's new Nunez
Arne Slot will already be concerned that this expensive Liverpool attacker is turning into his next Darwin Nunez.
2 ByKelan Sarson Sep 15, 2025
At 33, it is only natural that some may begin to start writing Salah off, with his pace not what it was, but it is more likely that he is simply out of form. It should also never be forgotten that the passing of Diogo Jota could be affecting him, too, with all of Liverpool’s players still in the grieving process.
أكد معتز البطاوي المشرف العام على الكرة بنادي سيراميكا كليوباترا، أن النادي الأهلي كان يرغب في التعاقد مع أحمد هاني الظهير الأيمن للفريق في فترة الانتقالات الصيفية الماضية.

وقال البطاوي في تصريحات لبرنامج “لعبة والتانية” على راديو “ميجا إف إم”: “نرفض تماما فكرة أن يستغلنا أي لاعب للانتقال من للأهلي الى الزمالك والعكس صحيح”.
وتابع: “الأهلي كان يسعى لضم أحمد هاني الظهير الأيمن للفريق خلال فترة الانتقالات الصيفية الماضية، ولكن توقفت المفاوضات في اللحظات الأخيرة”.
وأضاف: “علي ماهر المدير الفني لفريق سيراميكا كليوباترا لا يشبع من الطموح وهذا الأمر أثر إيجابياً على نتائج الفريق، كما أنه يعمل 18 ساعة يومين مع الفريق ويبذل مجهودات كبيرة”.
واشار: “أحمد قندوسي لاعب مميز وقدم مستويات رائعة مع سيراميكا كليوباترا لكنه خارج حساباتنا ولا نسعى للتعاقد معه، وعلاقتنا جيدة بالزمالك ولم نمنع قندوسي من الانتقال للأبيض”.
واختتم: “صدارة جدول ترتيب الدوري الممتاز تمنحنا الثقة ونسعى لتثبيت أقدامنا على القمة والبقاء في المربع الذهبي”.
This was the fourth time that Hardik had dismissed Gill in T20s in just 18 deliveries
ESPNcricinfo staff30-Mar-20251:54
How does Hardik get the better of Gill almost every time?
The ball dug in short. The pitch making it sit up and not zip through. On middle and off. Shubman Gill does what he must, play the pull. He hits it superbly. But straight to the fielder in the deep. And that’s the fourth time Hardik Pandya has dismissed Gill in just 18 balls in T20s.”It’s just the right length [to Gill]. Hardik tends to bowl that back-of-length [delivery] and he’s been using that short ball quite effectively,” Cheteshwar Pujara said on ESPNcricinfo’s TimeOut show after the match. “Gill is someone who has a little bit of vulnerability when it comes to that length. It is his scoring opportunity, but at the same time, when he doesn’t get it right, you do get dismissed from that length.”Maybe Hardik knew that – there’s very little cricketers don’t know these days when it comes to data and numbers, strengths and weaknesses of opponents. Hardik stood there, looking pleased as punch. Of course he knew it would – or could, at least – work. Gill looked like he couldn’t believe he had fallen into the trap.Related

'You know the match is almost done' – Gill's praise for Prasidh
Hardik: 'Batters have to come to the party, hopefully soon'
Unwittingly, though, Hardik might have laid a trap for his own batters in the process. On a black-soil pitch, with the ball gripping in the slow surface, slow, slower, slowest was the way to go. Not that Gujarat Titans (GT) or Mumbai Indians (MI) wouldn’t have known that anyway before their IPL 2025 match in Ahmedabad on Saturday evening, but seeing the proof in Hardik’s plan of action helped – GT stopped MI 36 short after putting up 196, and at no point did it really look like their wouldn’t.”There were some shots that were easy to hit on that wicket, there were some shots that were difficult [to hit], so we were making sure that we make sure that they were hitting difficult shots on that wicket. Which we thought were difficult when we were batting,” Gill said in the press conference afterwards. Prasidh Krishna, for one, made the most of the conditions. Going against his nature, so to say, he kept it slow, and into the pitch. And emerged Player of the Match for his 2 for 18.And Hardik, only half in jest, possibly, agreed that he might have helped Prasidh with the planning. “Definitely, I was just thinking that,” he told the host broadcaster. “Maybe I bowled way too many balls – they were able to see that it’s gripping.”On this wicket, I think those were the toughest balls because some were shooting down, some were bouncing and some were gripping. So when you have this much variable bounce or difference, I think as a batter it becomes difficult.”

Vivendo um período de turbulência e pressionado por vitória após cinco jogos sem saber o que é vencer, o português celebra a gigantesca marca de 200 jogos no comando do clube, sem muitos motivos para comemorar.
De ressaca da eliminação da Copa do Brasil para o São Paulo, o maior técnico da história do Verdão precisa dos três pontos no Beira-Rio para não ver o seu time despencar ainda mais na tabela do Brasileirão. Já são quatro rodadas consecutivas sem vencer, o que fez o Verdão cair para a 5ª posição da tabela e ver o líder Botafogo abrir doze pontos.

Abel chega ao seu jogo de número 200 no Palmeiras com um ótimo aproveitamento, além das oito taças conquistadas, Até aqui foram 199 jogos, 117 vitórias, 44 empates e 38 derrotas, com 340 gols marcados e 160 gols sofridos.

Apesar dos dois títulos já conquistados em 2023, Abel Ferreira talvez viva a maior ‘crise’ no comando técnico do Verdão e apesar da nítida falta de reforços por falta da diretoria, muitos torcedores também questionam algumas escolhas do treinador e a falta de repertório ofensivo do alviverde nas últimas partidas.
A bola rola para Internacional x Palmeiras neste próximo domingo (16), a partir das 18h30 (horário de Brasília), e o jogo será transmitido apenas pelo Premiere FC.
Na tarde desta segunda-feira (31), o Corinthians encerrou a sua preparação para enfrentar o Newell ‘s Old Boys, da Argentina, pelo jogo de ida das oitavas de final da Copa Sul-Americana. A partida acontecerá nesta terça-feira (1°), às 21h30 (de Brasília). Como tem sido costume nos últimos compromissos, o Timão não revelou a lista de relacionados para o confronto diante dos argentinos. No entanto, há chances de alguns atletas considerados titulares estarem na escalação inicial.

O movimento para as oitavas é diferente do que foi feito pelo técnico Vanderlei Luxemburgo na fase anterior, em que o clube alvinegro derrotou o Universitario, do Peru, duas vezes e passou de fase. Na situação, a opção foi por uma escalação totalmente alternativa, priorizando a presença dos atletas mais jovens. A exceção foi o atacante Róger Guedes, no duelo de volta, em Lima, que jogou pois cumpriria suspensão no jogo seguinte do Corinthians pelo Campeonato Brasileiro, contra o Bahia.

Agora, como vive um momento mais confortável na temporada, com sete jogos sem perder, a tendência é que Luxa valorize um pouco mais a Sul-Americana, até pensando em brigar pelo título. Assim, ao invés de escalar um time somente com ‘reservas’, o treinador opte por uma escalação mista, inserindo ‘titulares’ que estejam em melhores condições físicas. Assim, nomes como Murillo, Fausto Vera, Róger Guedes e Yuri Alberto podem ser titulares.

Há também a chance de algumas peças do time principal serem relacionadas e comporem o banco de reservas. Caso do goleiro Cássio. Isso porque Matheus Donelli cumprirá suspensão pelo envolvimento na confusão com atletas do Universitario, na última partida pela Sul-Americana. De toda forma, Carlos Miguel, que vem se destacando na competição continental, é quem deve começar jogando.
Fábio Santos, Gil e Renato Augusto são os atletas que devem ser preservados. Matías Rojas ainda se recupera de um trauma no pé esquerdo. Gabriel Moscardo, que fez uma cirurgia de apendicite, na semana retrasada, é ausência garantida, pois o seu retorno está sendo preparado para o dia 16 de agosto, quando o Timão enfrenta o São Paulo, no estádio do Morumbi, pelo jogo de volta da semifinal da Copa do Brasil.

Deste modo, a provável escalação corintiana para encarar o Newell’s Old Boys é: Carlos Miguel; Rafael Ramos (Bruno Méndez), Caetano, Murillo e Matheus Bidu; Giugliano, Ruan Oliveira, Fausto Vera (Maycon) e Matheus Araújo (Adson); Róger Guedes e Yuri Alberto (Felipe Augusto).

Against an unbeaten and formidable home side, MI will want to put up a win and get their campaign back on track
Sidharth Monga12-Apr-20252:26
Jaffer: Fraser-McGurk’s high-risk style difficult to sustain
Big picture: DC vs MI, a run-feast in Delhi?Never mind the extreme ends of the table these teams inhabit right now, this is the kind of match that could threaten the record for the highest number of runs scored in an IPL match. Delhi Capitals (DC) are built to go big, and have been scoring at a trickle under ten an over. Delhi has comfortably been the quickest-scoring venue in the IPL since last year.Mumbai Indians (MI) sit at the bottom of the table, but they are never a million miles from a big innings. Also their bottom is not like, say, Chennai Super Kings’ bottom. Two of their four defeats have been close ones. A matter of two good hits. Their captain’s game is on point, Jasprit Bumrah is back, their middle order is finding its muscle, and they could easily get on a roll.The last time these two teams played, it was at the exact same ground, which found a way to rejuvenate its tired pitch square a year ago. Add to its small boundaries, and is it any surprise the match aggregate crossed 500? DC scored 257 riding on Jake Fraser-McGurk’s 84 off 27 balls, but won by just ten runs. Another instance of MI falling short by two good hits. Against an unbeaten and formidable DC, MI need to somehow find those two hits.Team news and likely XIIsFaf du Plessis didn’t field for 12 overs of DC’s bowling in their last match, but since his injury was deemed external he was allowed to open the innings. He missed the previous game with a groin strain. If he is fit and ready, DC have no reason to make any changes.Delhi Capitals (probable) 1 Faf du Plessis, 2 Jake Fraser-McGurk, 3 Abishek Porel, 4 KL Rahul (wk), 5 Tristan Stubbs, 6 Ashutosh Sharma, 7 Axar Patel (capt.), 8 Vipraj Nigam, 9 Mitchell Starc, 10 Kuldeep Yadav, 11 Mukesh Kumar, 12 Mohit SharmaMI are closer to finding their best combination, but their batting order might be up for a change. Tilak Varma could be promoted to No. 3, leaving Will Jacks under scrutiny.Mumbai Indians (probable) 1 Rohit Sharma, 2 Ryan Rickelton (wk), 3 Tilak Varma, 4 Suryakumar Yadav, 5 Will Jacks, 6 Hardik Pandya (capt.), 7 Naman Dhir, 8 Mitchell Santner, 9 Deepak Chahar, 10 Trent Boult, 11 Jasprit Bumrah, 12 Vignesh Puthur.Big question: Will the openers finally fire?Both these sides’ openers have been among the least productive this IPL. Their opening partnerships are in the bottom quarter. MI openers have put on the fewest runs together, and DC are the third-lowest. The thing is, when they get going they have the potential to be among the most dangerous. Fraser-McGurk and Ryan Rickelton are among the most explosive, Rohit Sharma and du Plessis among the most accomplished.In the spotlight: Hardik Pandya vs KL RahulRight from the days, it might appear Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul have been tough to separate. Their career paths have been similar in that they are both irresistible and versatile when at their best, but there are things that keep them from being at their best often. Both have had to deal with injuries – Hardik more than Rahul – and both have faced psychological challenges, especially during the IPL. This year they both seem to be at their best. Face to face, though, Rahul has been winning, scoring 96 runs off 55 balls from Hardik, getting out only once.KL Rahul has scored two fifties in three innings•BCCI
Pitch and conditionsDelhi is the highest-scoring venue since last year. That shouldn’t change at all unless the hosts tactically want it to be lower-scoring and can influence the groundsmen to do so. There was a dust storm in Delhi two days before the match, bringing down the temperatures a little, but don’t expect any rain or much respite from the heat.Key stats MI lead the head-to-head between these two sides 19-16. At home, though, DC are 9-5 against MI. In the last match, Trent Boult took a first-over wicket for the 31st time in the IPL, four clear of Bhuvneshwar Kumar at No. 2 on that list. In all T20 cricket, Boult is fifth, behind Shaheen Shah Afridi, David Willey, Bhuvneshwar and Mohammad Amir.Next three fixturesDC will host Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday before traveling to Ahmedabad and Lucknow. Two of MI’s next three matches are against Sunrisers Hyderabad. In between they will host Chennai Super Kings.Quotes”Nowadays, there is a lot of domestic cricket, so, everyone knows how to play the wicket. We don’t think that ‘we have to play here and there.’ Because in IPL, you have to play everywhere. And as far as batting is concerned, the main thing is the situation.” “We have had a lot of individual performances in the last five matches. Only the collective performance is missing. When everyone did well in one game, we won by a big margin. That shows the potential of our team.”
Three games unbeaten in the Premier League. A clean sheet last weekend. Jack Grealish is firing on all cylinders. Everton are in good nick ahead of the Merseyside derby on Saturday.
Sixth in the standings, the Toffees know their biggest test of the campaign looms large, and that Arne Slot’s Liverpool boast one of the most dangerous squads on the continent.
There may be a gulf in spending power between the two behemoths on Merseyside, but Moyes has equipped his team with plenty of fresh quality this summer, and the early results on the pitch point toward good business.
And the above-mentioned Grealish certainly has the capacity to steal the headlines.
Grealish's start to life at Everton
Grealish, 30, joined Everton on loan in the summer after falling by the wayside at Manchester City. Now he is reborn, having claimed four assists already in the Premier League and been handed the Player of the Month award for August.
Unleashed once again, the England international will surely channel much of the Blues’ positive attacking play, with Sofascore recording that he is already averaging 2.8 key passes per game.
Liverpool have lacked fluency in the opening weeks of the season and have proven themselves susceptible to pressure and physicality in their defensive third. This is Everton’s bread and butter, and Moyes will ensure that his team push in all the right places to silence the Anfield crowd.
Grealish will be key, of course. But he won’t be alone in this staggering task. Indeed, it might be time for Moyes to unleash new recruit Tyler Dibling from the opening whistle, with the teenage sensation perhaps standing a chance of being Everton’s own version of Sadio Mane on derby day.
Moyes must unleash Tyler Dibling vs Liverpool
It took a few attempts, but Everton signed Dibling from Southampton in a £42m deal this summer, landing one of the country’s prized up-and-coming talents.
The 19-year-old, who can play across a range of different attacking roles, was the shining light from a drab Saints season in 2024/25, and his fleet-footed and robust style of play suggests he could be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
So far, he’s been kept on the bench for Everton as Moyes looks to slowly integrate him into the system, so far unleashing the English prospect only during the win over Mansfield Town in the Carabao Cup.

Given Tim Iroegbunam’s struggles last weekend in the 0-0 draw to Aston Villa, Moyes could drop Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall deeper and shift Dibling into the advanced midfield role, where his fast feet and incisive passing could be at its best, funnelling the ball out to Grealish and the electric Iliman Ndiaye.
With focus sure to be on negating Grealish from stretching lines and wreaking havoc in the penalty area, Dibling could add that extra dimension to capitalise on any chinks, creating a truly dynamic system capable of devastating results on the break.
Because Everton will expect to be hemmed in for much of the contest, but these fresh faces point toward a new, levelled-up version of the squad which will hope to challenge for a place at the higher levels of the table, should this early-season form persist. Dibling will help with that to no end.
Starting him against Liverpool would be a bold call, but it would be sure to spring a surprise on a Reds defence there for the taking, and given that he has been signed from Southampton, he might indeed prove to be Everton’s own Mane, who established legendary status during his years at Liverpool playing for Jurgen Klopp.
Sadio Mane Liverpool graphic
Mane had a rich record against Everton, scoring five goals and supplying two assists across 16 matches in all competitions. His 94th-minute derby-day winner way back in 2016 still stings those of a Toffees persuasion.
The Senegalese’s speed and trickery made him a thorn in his opponents’ sides for many years, and now Moyes could get his own back as Everton manager by starting Dibling, whose “incredible” displays last season, as remarked by Saints correspondent Alfie House, suggest he is ready to take the leap and work some magic for this fast-rising Everton team.
