20th June 2026
16:00 Kerry v Armagh
Kerry
FT Result
50 WIN
Armagh really should have beaten Louth last time after dominating the game and losing to a late howler by the keeper. That does, however, highlight their shortcomings: they play well but aren't clinical enough. Kerry are a quality side and look well organised defensively. Armagh should struggle to post a sizeable total against them, so I give Kerry the edge.
17:00 Offaly v Wicklow
Offaly
FT Result
50 WIN
Offaly are in fine form, impressive, despatching Clare, Down and Wexford. Wicklow have been good at times but have thrown in too many poor performances to be trusted. Offaly are the more reliable side and have momentum.
18:15 Mayo v Meath
Meath
FT Result
50 WIN
Meath look far from bullet-proof after surrendering a 9-point half-time lead in their loss to Cork. They shook that off impressively last week when upsetting Derry away. When fully at it, they look quality and can upset Mayo.
20:00 Castleford Tigers v Toulouse Olympique
Toulouse Olympique 12.50
Handicap (2-way)
50 WIN
Two very unpredictable sides and you never really know how they'll play on any given day. Castleford have been thumped 72-6 by Warrington, 34-0 by Wakefield, 50-10 by Hull and 50-6 by KR. On the flip side they've beaten Wigan by 10 and St Helens by 20. Toulouse have largely struggled at this level but have won their last two away games and beat Castleford by 12 earlier in the season. They do have tries in them and, against a far-from-solid Castleford defence, can hang in there.
21:00 Germany v Ivory Coast
Germany
50 WIN
Ivory Coast needed a last-minute goal to get past Ecuador, and this looks a lot tougher. You can't read too much into Germany's 7-1 thrashing of Curaçao, but they are in fine form, winning 10 on the trot and banging in the goals in the process. Although Ivory Coast themselves are in fine form, I think Germany will be too strong.

Felix Nmecha
Anytime Goalscorer
50 WIN
Felix Nmecha is given the freedom to push forward more for Brazil than his club Dortmund. This was evident in the opener when he fired in four shots, three of which were on target and one resulting in a goal. Ivory Coast will be tougher to break down than Curaçao, but I don't see that stopping Nmecha from getting shots away, so 7.00 looks a bit big.

Total Cards
50 WIN
Ivory Coast picked up three first-half cards against Ecuador but calmed down a tad in the second half, although they appeared to get away with a couple. Germany are bound to put them under plenty of pressure, and Ivory Coast do have a habit of picking up cheap cards by tripping. Germany aren't immune to yellow cards, picking up nine from their six qualification games, so 3+ looks likely.

21:00 Stephen Bunting vs Niels Zonneveld
Stephen Bunting
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
Bunting has never lost to Zonneveld, winning all 4 meetings, including one earlier this year. He's in solid form coming into this, having reached the semis of the last Players Championship. I think he keeps up his fine record against Zonneveld.
21st June 2026
01:00 Ecuador v Curacao
John Yeboah
Anytime Goalscorer
50 WIN
Yeboah looked lively against the Ivory Coast with three shots and hitting the crossbar. Curaçao looked particularly vulnerable down the left, so the left winger should get joy today.
Ecuador #3-0
50 WIN
Ecuador are a tough side to break down. So despite Curaçao getting a surprise goal against Germany, I don't see them repeating that feat. Ecuador, though, don't score many, but they should dominate the game. Against a Curaçao side that struggled badly in defence against Germany, I can see Ecuador getting three.
Over 3.00
Total Cards
50 WIN
Ning Ma of China takes charge and hasn't been shy to show cards. In his five games this year he showed 26 yellows and a red, and last year showed 89 yellows and a red from 18 games. Players will obviously have to be on their guard in this one. I don't know whether Curaçao realistically believe they can progress in the group, but if they do this is a game they must get something out of. Conversely, Ecuador really ought to be eyeing all three points. I therefore can see plenty of tough tackles, trips, etc., taking this over.
05:00 New Zealand Warriors v North Queensland Cowboys
New Zealand Warriors -8.50
Handicap (2-way)
50 WIN
Cowboys have been inconsistent this season and were poor in their last two games. They lost by 14 to a not-very-strong Raiders side and, last time, were badly outclassed by the Dolphins on their own patch. The meters they made in possession were poor, and they never looked competitive. Warriors are strong this season and are capable of putting weaker sides to the sword.
05:00 Tunisia v Japan
Japan
50 WIN
After a 5-1 thrashing by Sweden, Tunisia took the controversial decision to sack their coach mid-tournament. Whether that results in an improved performance remains to be seen. They would have to improve significantly to beat Japan, though. Japan looked decent in the draw against the Netherlands and look a clear level above what appears to be a weak Tunisia side.
Over 3.00
Total Cards
50 WIN
Referee István Kovács of Romania has the honour of refereeing his 1,000th World Cup match, and I don't see that honour holding him back from showing cards. He has a wealth of experience but doesn't shy away from booking players. Over his career he has averaged 5.3 yellow cards per game. Tunisia had just one yellow against Sweden but easily could have had more, and as the deficit rose their commitment waned. I can see them picking up cards today. Japan don't usually pick up many, but even one may be enough to at least reach three.
07:05 Melbourne Storm v Canberra Raiders
Melbourne Storm
To Win
50 WIN
It's been a disappointing campaign for Storm, with them sitting 12th. However, they've been more solid of late, winning 4 of their last 5, and a top-8 place is still possible with a good run. Raiders have looked unimpressive when I've seen them, and a Storm side building momentum should prevail.
Under 50.50
Total Points
50 WIN
Raiders are a poor team and have the third-lowest points with 261. Against what is often a solid Storm defence, I don't see them scoring many. Storm have been disappointing this season, so I see them keeping it tight and doing enough to win.
20:10 US Open
Cameron Smith
25 EW
Since switching to the LIV Tour, Smith's form has clearly deteriorated. There have been positive signs of late, though, with four top-10s from his last 12. That includes a recent 7th at the PGA Championship. I get the impression he relishes his chance to play in the PGA Tour majors, so I can see him going well.
22:45 US Open
Jacob Bridgeman
25 EW
Jacob Bridgeman missed the cut in his only start here but is better than that. Accurate approach play and putting are essential this weekend, and Bridgeman excels in both. His putting is elite, ranking 3rd for SG: Putting on the tour. If he can handle the difficult greens, he could figure it out this weekend.
Ryan Gerard
25 EW
Ryan Gerard is an elite driver, but his approach play and putting seem to have come on of late, making him of interest. He was second going into the final round at the Charles Schwab, but a poor final round dropped him to 10th. Last time out, though, at the Memorial he did even better, finishing second after a playoff. He's clearly in fine form, so can outperform his odds.
Wyndham Clark
25 EW
Wyndham Clark won in 2023, so obviously has the ability to go well here. He enters in fine form. He won the recent Bryan Nelson CJ Cup, was third at the Memorial, and last week was 2nd going into the last round, but a poor Sunday dropped him to 11th. He is one of the best putters around, which should stand him in good stead for around here.
19th July 2026
15:30 All Ireland Hurling Championship 2026
Clare
Win Hurling
25 EW
Clare won in 2024, but last year it didn't go well. Severe injury problems probably took their toll. They look in better shape this time and can certainly mix it with the best.
9th September 2026
11:00 County Championship Division 2 2026
Lancashire
Outright Winner
50 WIN
Lancashire underperformed, finishing 5th despite having a strong squad. They've really impressed with signings over the winter, enrolling quality players at this level, so I see them doing a lot better than 5th.
15th September 2026
11:00 County Championship Division 1 2026
Warwickshire
Outright Winner
25 EW
Warwickshire finished down in 5th last season but were hampered by drawing nine games, the most in the league. They've strengthened their squad and look capable of a better performance this season.
6th December 2026
13:00 Formula 1 Drivers Championship 2026
Max Verstappen
50 WIN
Verstappen kept himself in the title race last season despite clearly not having the best car. That speaks volumes about his skill, which should see him once again go well this season. Despite him slamming the new regulation, it should be to his benefit as he has the skills to master the new designs. The Red Bull has looked very promising in practice, so I rate him as the most likely winner.
