The weekend TV guide: Friday 23 October to Sunday 25 October
Coventry City FC v Fulham has the crowd scratching its head: 41% home, 40% draw and 19% away. Welcome to the weekend, where agreement is optional and the remote deserves a comfortable seat.
Friday 23 October
7.30pm Bundesliga: VfB Stuttgart v Borussia Mönchengladbach. The visitors bring L L L L L; 42% favour the hosts, with 3-1 most called.
7.45pm Serie A: Torino v Monza. Home backing reaches 48%, yet 0-2 is the most called score. A raised eyebrow already.
7.45pm Ligue 1: Brest v Nice. With 50% backing Brest and 2-1 most called, the crowd gives the hosts a friendly nudge.
7.45pm Gallagher Premiership: Newcastle Falcons v Sale Sharks. L L L hardly rolls out the welcome mat, but 67% back the hosts anyway.
7.45pm Gallagher Premiership: Gloucester Rugby v Bath Rugby. Matching L W W runs, rather different crowd treatment: 67% favour Bath Rugby.
8.00pm Premier League: Ipswich Town FC v Nottingham Forest. The visitors sit 19th but attract 58% backing; 1-2 is most called. Table, meet dissent.
8.00pm Championship: Bolton Wanderers FC v Middlesbrough. Home support stands at 52%, although the most called score is 1-2. Another split personality.
8.00pm La Liga: Alaves v Málaga CF. Neither supplied form run contains a win, yet 3-2 is most called. A hopeful Friday flourish.
Saturday 24 October
12.30pm Premier League: Aston Villa v Manchester City FC. The leaders arrive with W W W W W and 78% backing. Quite the lunchtime calling card.
12.30pm Championship: Sheffield United v Derby County. The hosts command 62% support, but 1-1 leads the score calls. Certainty has its limits.
12.30pm Championship: Charlton Athletic v Norwich City. A draw gets 57%, with 1-1 most called. The crowd has packed its compromise.
12.30pm Championship: Portsmouth v Millwall. Thirteenth meets 12th, and 0-0 tops the score calls. Not much daylight on this billing.
3.00pm Premier League: Coventry City FC v Fulham. Seventeenth meets 18th in our welcome's conundrum; 1-1 is the crowd's most called score.
3.00pm Premier League: Arsenal FC v Everton. A resounding 90% back Arsenal FC, with 2-0 most called. No committee meeting needed here.
3.00pm Championship: Preston North End v West Bromwich Albion. Bottom hosts fifth, yet 43% favour the home side. The table isn't getting the final word.
5.30pm Premier League: Chelsea FC v Tottenham Hotspur FC. Fourth meets 16th; 88% back the hosts and 2-0 leads the score calls. Emphatic evening reading.
Sunday 25 October
1.30pm NFL: Pittsburgh Steelers at New Orleans Saints. Sunday opens with 63% backing New Orleans Saints. Settle in before the football arrives.
2.00pm Premier League: Crystal Palace v Newcastle United FC. Home backing is 44%, but 1-2 tops the score calls. Another pleasingly awkward puzzle.
2.00pm Premier League: Liverpool FC v Brighton & Hove Albion. Fifth welcomes third; the visitors bring W W W W D. An afternoon billing worth underlining.
2.00pm Premier League: Manchester United v AFC Bournemouth. D D D L D for the hosts, yet 51% expect a home win. Faith persists.
2.00pm Premier League: Hull City AFC v Brentford. Sixth visits ninth, with 66% backing Brentford and 1-2 most called.
4.30pm Premier League: Sunderland v Leeds United. Bottom meets seventh; 63% favour the visitors, with 1-2 most called. A stern-looking teatime assignment.
5.00pm NFL: Miami Dolphins at New York Jets. Home 53%, away 47%: leave room on the sofa for disagreement.
5.00pm NFL: Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens. The visitors take 58% backing. A final helping of away-day confidence.
