16th January 2026
16:30 Michael van Gerwen vs Stephen Bunting
Michael van Gerwen
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
Van Gerwen is no longer the dominant player he was, but he still plays to a high standard. Bunting was impressive last year, but his form tailed off towards the end. Losing to Hurrell at the World Championship was not a great performance, and he has struggled to get over a 90??"91 average of late. Van Gerwen should have enough to win this.
17:00 Luke Humphries vs Nathan Aspinall
Luke Humphries
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
Although he was blown away 5-1 by Van Veen at the World Championship, that was a reflection of a dip in form rather than an inspired effort by the impressive Van Veen. Humphries actually averaged 10 in that game, so we shouldn't worry about his form. He blew away Saeed 6-0 yesterday with a 103 average, so looks in the form to take this. He has won the last six matches against Aspinall and seems to have his number.
17:30 Gian van Veen vs Danny Noppert
Gian van Veen
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
Noppert is a hard man to beat, as he rarely has a bad game. However, he plays rising star Van Veen, who looks sure to be at the top of the game for a while to come. He has won the last three meetings with Noppert, winning 11-5, 6-2 and 6-3. The pace of Noppert doesn't seem to worry him, so he should prevail.
18:00 Nevers v Provence
Over 51.50
Total Points
50 WIN
Provence won the reverse fixture 39-33, and these two should produce a similar high-scoring affair. Nevers are averaging 37.5 points per game, and with the bookies expecting this to be a close affair, I can see Provence getting a total in the high 20s or mid-thirties, which should comfortably take this over.
20:00 Pau v Bulls
Pau
To Win
50 WIN
Pau are a strong home side who have won all seven Top 14 home games, including the scalps of some of the best sides in France. The Bulls are on a seven-game losing streak and are poor travelers. Last time, against Bristol at home, they conceded 61 points. Although their commitment was there, their defence was woeful and they were blowing hard at the finish. This looks a tricky game for their defence.
17th January 2026
12:30 Coventry v Leicester
Coventry & Yes
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
Leicester are a great both-to-score side, with only 6 of their 26 games not ending with both teams scoring. Their last 9 games have seen both teams score. Coventry are wobbling a bit, with just 2 wins from their last 8. However, Leicester's style of play should suit Coventry, so I see them getting back to winning ways in what could be a high-scoring game.
12:30 Wigan v Bolton
Wigan 0.25
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
A draw would yield a half profit, and that looks doable for Wigan as they have lost just 3 of their 11 home games. Bolton don't travel well, with just 2 wins from 12 this season.
15:00 AFC Wimbledon v Doncaster
AFC Wimbledon 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
Doncaster have done precious little to justify their favouritism. They sit second bottom in the table and have the worst away record in the league. Wimbledon are sliding down the league with only one win from their last 11. They are a stronger side than Doncaster and did win away at Leyton Orient two games ago, so look the bet with money back for the draw.
15:00 Accrington Stanley v Milton Keynes Dons
Shaun Whalley
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
For a side that has been struggling in the bottom half this season, Accrington have a surprisingly good defensive record. Their 26 goals conceded is bettered by only three sides, so I like them for the first goal. With striker Tyler Warren still out injured, Shaun Whalley will probably be on penalty duties. He was against Harrogate two games ago when he converted the penalty. He backed that up by scoring from open play last time against Notts County.
15:00 Barnsley v Blackpool
Ashley Fletcher
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
Barnsley have conceded nine times in their last four games, so Blackpool should fancy their chances of scoring in this one. Ashley Fletcher is banging in the goals this season, with his 10 goals just one shy of his tally for the whole of last season. He has now scored in eight of his last ten games, so should have a good chance of scoring first.
15:00 Charlton v Sheff Utd
Sheff Utd
50 WIN
Sheffield United simply don't draw on the road, with no draws from their 13 games. I'd therefore expect one of the sides to win this one. Charlton are struggling just above the relegation zone with just one win in 11, including seven defeats. Sheffield United were hampered by an awful start, but since Chris Wilder's arrival they have improved immeasurably, and the nine-point gap they are adrift of the play-offs is doable. This looks a winnable game for them.
15:00 Crawley Town v Notts County
Yes
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
Crawley have only kept three clean sheets all season, so I think promotion-chasing County can score in this one. Crawley, though, have scored in all but one home game. With 75% of their home games ending with both teams scoring, I like the Yes option.
15:00 Elgin v Edinburgh City
Yes
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
Edinburgh City are a great side in the BTTS market, with just 2 of their 20 games not ending with both sides scoring. Elgin aren't as reliable, but 61% of their games have seen both teams score. Yes, looks the likely outcome.
15:00 Fleetwood Town v Cambridge Utd
Yes
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
Cambridge are going well, being unbeaten in 10. They've had few problems scoring of late, netting in their last 8. Fleetwood are the best BTTS side in the league at home, with just one game where both didn't score.
15:00 Gillingham v Newport County
Draw
50 WIN
There are signs that Newport could escape relegation under new manager Christian Fuchs. In their last three games they beat Crewe and drew with Barnet, both top-half sides. They did lose 2-1 at Bromley last time, but Bromley are in great form, being 5 points clear at the top. Gillingham are winless in nine but drew seven of them, including their last five home games. This looks drawish.
15:00 Halifax v Boston Utd
Halifax
50 WIN
Halifax are in solid form with 10 points from their last 5 games, taking them to just one place outside the play-offs. Boston have just one win from their last 11, so this looks winnable for the hosts.
15:00 Leyton Orient v Reading
Yes
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
Leyton Orient's last 6 home games have ended with both sides scoring. Reading have hit their best form of the season with four wins and a draw from their last five. So I think both score.
15:00 Northampton v Wycombe
Draw
50 WIN
This game looks very drawish. Wycombe have drawn half of their away games, including 4 of their last 5. Northampton's average of 2.1 goals per game is the lowest in the league, and their last two games have ended 0-0. I see this being a low-scoring draw.
15:00 Preston v Derby
Yes
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
Derby are adept at finding the net, having failed to score in only two games this season. They have now scored in their last 16 matches. Preston had six home games in a row with both teams scoring before brushing aside a weak Wednesday side last time. I see goals from both sides.
15:00 Sheff Wed v Portsmouth
Draw
50 WIN
Relegation is inevitable for Sheffield Wednesday, with their only aim this season surely being just to get into positive figures. They have shown a little bit of fight at home of late, drawing their last two against Blackburn and Hull. Portsmouth have just seven away points this season, so I think a draw is a likely outcome.
15:00 Shrewsbury v Harrogate Town
Harrogate Town 0.50
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
Harrogate are a poor side, but they have drawn 4 of their last 6 away games and lost the other two by an odd goal. They play an equally poor Shrewsbury side, who are winless in eight, and the fans are planning a protest this weekend. As poor as Harrogate may be, they currently don't look weaker than Shrewsbury and could get something out of this.
15:00 Stockport v Rotherham
Stockport
50 WIN
Things are looking bleak for Rotherham, with 6 losses on the trot, just two goals scored and 15 goals conceded. Stockport sit in 4th, and although they haven't won back-to-back games since October, they are a far stronger side and should prevail.
15:00 Wealdstone v Woking
Woking 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
Wealdstone are winless in 8 and have lost their last three, including shipping four goals against Aldershot and Boreham Wood. Woking aren't the easiest side to predict. They went to second-placed Carlisle and won 3-1, then three games later lost at home to struggling Braintree. There is ability in the side, though, and I think they can get the better of out-of-form Wealdstone.
15:00 Wrexham v Norwich
Yes
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
Wrexham are having a good season in the Championship, sitting 9th. At home they have scored in all 13 games but have also conceded in 10 of them. Norwich have a fine BTTS record on the road, with only 2 of their 13 games not ending with both teams scoring. So, with 77% of Wrexham's home games ending yes and 85% of Norwich's away games ending yes, that looks the pick.
17:00 Winterthur v St Gallen
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
Winterthur are leaking goals at an alarming rate with 52 conceded from 19 games. As a result, 16 of their 19 games have gone over 2.5, with an average of 3.9 goals per game. St. Gallen are also an impressive over side, with 14 of 19 going over.
17:30 RB Leipzig v Bayern Munich
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
Five of RB Leipzig's home games have gone over 2.5 goals, but that's largely irrelevant on this occasion. The reason this should go over is the opposition. Bayern Munich have played 17 games this season, with all of them going over 2.5.
17:30 Swansea v Birmingham
Swansea 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
Birmingham have the 5th-best home record in the league, but away they have the 3rd-worst record. They simply can't transfer their home form to away games, with just 8 away goals. Swansea have picked up significantly under Vítor Matos and have won 5 of their last 8, including all 4 home games. This looks very winnable for them.
18th January 2026
14:00 Africa Cup of Nations 2025
Algeria
50 WIN
Algeria have a soft group, so they should have few problems reaching the knockout stages. They stormed through qualification, topping the group with ease, scoring 24 goals and conceding just 8 from their 10 games. In my opinion, this looks a fairly open tournament, so Algeria are in with a solid shout.
22:45 Sony Open in Hawaii
Chris Gotterup
25 EW
Chris Gotterup was in fine form last summer when landing the Scottish Open and then followed it up with a fine 3rd at the Open. He clearly has the game to mix it with the best. His results have been solid if unspectacular since. However, he turned out at the Garnt Thornton Invitational mixed pairs event in December with his game looking in good shape when he and partner Kupcho claimed a T2. I can see him being a factor this weekend
S H Kim
25 EW
Kim isn't a big hitter of the ball, so this course should suit his game. He is a solid putter, an accurate driver, and rarely plays a bad bunker shot. He's finished 12th and 30th on his two visits here and has been playing better golf at the end of 2025, so can out-perform his odds.
