FRIDAY - HULL CITY v  WOLVERHAPTON WANDERERS : Live on beIN SPORTS from 2.40PM ET

Which side will have more bite in battle between Tigers and Wolves?

Back in the frozen wastes of January, Hull City lead by former Manchester United defender, Steve Bruce, looked dead certs for promotion to the promised land of the Premier League. Unfortunately,  faltering form combined with a draining FA Cup double date with Arsenal, saw Hull City not just slide out of the top two but also tossed the team into scrap to secure a play-off spot. 

With just the single league win from the past eight league games, Hull are going to have to get their skates on both if the Tigers are to regain a spot in the top two, ten points away, as well as rediscover the kind of form that made the team Championship shiners not that long ago. 

"There's six games to go and we can still get 18 points," says a very optimistic Steve Bruce. Wolves are heading to Humberside and looking to see out yet another disappointing season in England's second tier, in some kind of style.

Prediction - Hull City to get back to winning ways to help secure play-off spot

FRIDAY - JACKSONVILLE ARMADA FC V MIAMI FC: Live on beIN SPORTS from 6.45PM ET

North vs South in Friday night Florida derby 

The first big challenge for Miami FC was to set up a franchise from scratch and get it battle-ready for the NASL season's start a fortnight ago. It was mission accomplished for Alessandro's Nesta's men with the team undefeated from the opening two rounds of the league. 

The next mission is for the South Floridians to pick up the team's first win after draws against Fort Lauderdale Strikers and Tampa Bay Rowdies. The opponents on what will be a balmy Friday night are Jacksonville Armada FC, who have played just the single match so far this season, which ended in defeat.

The Armada will have their own famous face on the sidelines to match Miami with USA goalkeeping legend, Tony Meola, in charge in Jacksonville and looking to put the more glamorous upstarts from the other end of the state in their place, under Friday night lights. 

Prediction - Grit wins over glamor with a victory for the Armada 

SATURDAY / SUNDAY - FIM SUPERBIKES Round 4 - Live on beIN SPORTS from 6.55AM ET

The battle of the British bikers heads to the Netherlands

Although current SBK Superbikes Champion, Jonathan Rea, is still atop the standings, followed by two other Brits, the Kawasaki rider has not found this year's competition as much of a procession as the last. Instead, Chaz Davies was the standout performer in Spain for the Ducati team by winning both races spread across Saturday and Sunday. 

The action now heads to the legendary TT Assen track in the Netherlands which saw a double victory last year for Rea. But his compatriot, Chaz Davies, says that the team are heading to Holland with confidence, momentum and a bike that is performing very well indeed. 

USA's racing legend, Nicky Hayden, will be looking for a better time of it than in sunny Spain after a sixth-place finish and retirement in the two races in Aragon. The 'Kentucky Kid' is currently in eighth place in the overall standings. 

Prediction - Jonathan Rea and Chaz Davies to share the top place on the podium over the weekend  

SUNDAY - MOTO AMERICA ROUND 2: ATLANTA - Live on beIN SPORTS from 12.25PM ET

All American super speed action returns to the track in Atlanta 

beIN SPORTS is now tickled pink to be America's true home of motorcycle racing with the MotoGP, SBK Superbikes and now Moto America on its roaring and raring-to-go roster. 

Sunday will be a double-delight for motor-heads with Round 2 of the Moto America competition, which sees hardcore, all-American racing in six categories, let by the Superbikes. Suzuki lead the way in the season-opener in Austin with a one-two in both races for team-mates Toni Elias, and Roger Hayden, brother of Nicky. 

Atlanta, Georgia is the venue for the next round, a track familiar to most of the American riders in the Superbikes stable, but new to Elias, who is only supposed to be filling in for the injured Jake Lewis but looking for Suzuki to make his move permanent with a third bike. 

Prediction - Nicky Hayden to go one better than his Spanish Suzuki teammate 

SUNDAY - BARCELONA V VALENCIA: Live on beIN SPORTS from 2PM ET 

Barcelona fight new battle on reopened front in La Liga 

And that's why we all keep coming back to watch the Beautiful Game. Because we have no real idea of what is going to happen next. The Spanish league title race was supposed to be a done deal with Barcelona strolling into the sunset with the trophy in its hands once again. 

But a draw against Villarreal and defeats to Real Madrid and then Real Sociedad spelled near disaster for Barcelona with both Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid gaining ground on top spot. Andres Iniesta noted sagely on Saturday that the team's 'cushion' at the top had almost gone to leave every round of La Liga a now must-win game to avoid the mother of all sporting chokes. 

Valencia will be looking to save something resembling respect from the campaign after a truly terrible time in a trip to the Camp Nou having had some self-confidence restored in a win in Mestalla against Sevilla that helped keep the threat of relegation at bay.

Prediction - Barcelona to keep the challengers at bay with a win
