It will be another interesting night tonight in the America’s Cup racing. `The first race of the evening (New Zealand time, 2pm in the afternoon in Barcelona) is between Italy Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli and United States NYCC American Magic . The Americans can put on a good performance which could potentially squeeze the Italians, but I personally doubt it. Given the table positions, this would be significant with anything but a win to Italy.In a very interesting match up INEOS Britannia challenge Switzerland Alinghi Red Bull ⏤in this race I would consider the UK team as favourites, but if the Swiss team can find their form, as they are very capable of doing, it could turn either way.When France Orient Express race the United States NYCC American Magic in the third race, it would be a massive surprise if the US did not win. Emerites Team New Zealand then race Switzerland Alinghi Red Bull ⏤I expect NZ to win; if Alinghi were to win, I would be highly surprised. The final matchup of the day is INEOS Britannia against Italy Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli . Barring a surprise event of some sort, Luna Rossa should have this one in the bag. But, at the end of the day this is Americas Cup racing and anything can happen!
