Benfica vs Auckland City: When, How to Watch Club World Cup Game
Rabat – The FIFA Club World Cup continues with a match between Auckland City and Benfica at 5 pm GMT+1. The game will be played at Exploria Stadium in Orlando. Fans can watch the match live by streaming it on DAZN, which is available for free in most countries, or MBC Masr. Auckland City had a very difficult start to the tournament, suffering a heavy 10-0 loss against Bayern Munich in their opening game. Sinch Auckland City is a smaller club with mostly semi-professional players, so facing the strong Portuguese team Benfica will be an even tougher challenge for them. Benfica is one of Portugal's top teams and reached the Round of 16 in the last UEFA Champions League season. The team includes star players like Angel Di María, Renato Sanches, Nicolas Otamendi, and Alvaro Carreras. In terms of betting predictions, Benfica is the clear favorite and is expected to win by a large margin. It is likely they will win by four or more goals, according to prediction websites. While the match is expected to have several goals, the total is predicted to stay under 6.5 goals, as Benfica may choose to pace themselves ahead of more challenging games later in the tournament. Benfica's Vangelis Pavlidis is a strong pick to score at any time during the game. The striker had a great recent season, scoring 29 goals, and is expected to continue that form. Overall prediction: Benefica v Auckland 4-1 Tags: 2025 FIFA Club World Cup

M&A News: Fox Corp (FOXA) Acquires Caliente TV
Media company Fox Corp (FOXA) has acquired Caliente TV, which is a sports streaming platform and TV channel, in order to strengthen its sports broadcasting footprint in Mexico. This acquisition gives Fox access to valuable broadcasting rights for major competitions like the UEFA Champions League, France's Ligue 1, and select Liga MX matches, which will allow it to meet the rising demand for premium sports content in the region. Confident Investing Starts Here: Following the acquisition, Fox plans to expand its offerings through a multi-platform strategy that includes launching a new pay TV channel and a subscription-based video-on-demand service. These services will complement Tubi, which is Fox's existing free and ad-supported streaming platform. Interestingly, Carlos Martinez, Fox's executive vice president and managing director for Latin America, will lead the rollout of these new plans in Mexico and Central America. It is worth noting that Martinez brings more than 30 years of experience in the Latin American broadcasting industry. While Fox did not disclose the financial details of the Caliente TV deal, the move is in line with its overall streaming strategy. Indeed, just last month, the company announced that Fox One, its new subscription streaming service, would debut before the start of the fall football season. The shift comes as Fox sees growing advertiser interest across its platforms—including Fox News, Fox Sports, and Tubi—which helped it surpass revenue expectations in its latest quarterly earnings. Is FOXA Stock a Good Buy? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Moderate Buy consensus rating on FOXA stock based on seven Buys, seven Holds, and one Sell assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. Furthermore, the average FOXA price target of $57.43 per share implies 5% upside potential.
