21st May 2026
09:30 Marie Bouzkova vs Ann Li
Ann Li
Win Match
50 WIN
There is little between the pair when it comes to the rankings, but Bouzkova has a poor record against fellow top-30 players, losing nine of her last ten meetings. She is at her best on clay, but Li can also play on the surface. Li has already seen off Jovan and number two seed Alexandrova, so I give her the slight edge.
10:00 Jesper De Jong vs Michael Zheng
Jesper De Jong
Win Match
50 WIN
De Jong is the higher-ranked player and more accomplished on clay. Zheng did have a decent win over Travaglia in the last round, but he was helped by his opponent making too many errors and having a poor time when advancing to the net. Zheng has played just four matches on clay in the last four years, winning only two of them. De Jong is a quality clay player with an impressive win/loss ratio on the surface, so he should have the edge.
19:15 Jonny Clayton vs Stephen Bunting
Stephen Bunting 1.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
Clayton has won 3 of the 4 Premier League games against Bunting this season. However, the last one was via a deciding leg and Bunting did win one 6-0. Bunting also owns a Players Championship win over Clayton this year. With nothing on the outcome, Bunting will be keen to show that he belongs in the Premier League, so I like him with a start.
20:00 Hull KR v Wigan Warriors
Hull KR -32.50
Handicap (2-way)
50 WIN
The sides meet again on the 30th in the Challenge Cup, but this will give us absolutely no clue as to the form of the sides. KR name a strong side tonight, whereas Wigan rest the first team, sending out a reserve side and academy players. I don't know what the travelling fans will make of it, but Wigan should get a hiding.
20:00 Oyonnax v Valence Romans
Oyonnax
To Win
50 WIN
As you would expect in French rugby, the home sides have dominated the two head-to-heads this year. Valence Romans won 40-21 when the sides met in March, but when the sides played last year at the Charles Mathon Stadium, Oyonnax ran away with it 55-8. Home advantage looks the key.
20:15 Luke Littler vs Josh Rock
Luke Littler
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
Luke Littler holds a dominant 7-0 overall head-to-head record over Rock, and he's likely to improve on that tonight. There is nothing on the outcome, but I don't see that affecting Littler's performance.
20:45 Luke Humphries vs Michael van Gerwen
Luke Humphries
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
MVG looked like qualifying, but impressive form from Humphries has taken that spot away from MVG. I suspect he will rub salt into the wound tonight, as he seems to be peaking and is consistently achieving 100 averages.
21:05 NY Mets @ WAS Nationals
WAS Nationals
Money Line
50 WIN
I think the Nationals are the better-hitting side than the Mets, and the Mets haven't been hitting well on the road either. Cade Cavalli pitches for the Nationals. He has already helped his side thrash the Mets 14-2 away this season.
22nd May 2026
02:38 Athletics @ LA Angels
Athletics
Money Line
50 WIN
Soriano has been sensational this season for the Angels, but he clearly has been overachieving as his last two home starts haven't been good. He gave up 6 earned runs in 5.1 innings against the Dodgers last time and 5 in 4 the time before against the White Sox. I can see him being hit tonight. Zverino for the Athletics has a 4.54 ERA, but pitching at home doesn't help his stats. On the road he has impressed of late, and I regard the Athletics as the better side.
08:05 Crusaders v Chiefs
Crusaders
To Win
50 WIN
Chiefs are on a seven-game winning streak, but they should come under severe pressure as they head to Canterbury. Crusaders are tough to beat on their own ground and have already beaten the Chiefs the two times they've played this season.
11:00 Canterbury Bulldogs v Melbourne Storm
Melbourne Storm
To Win
50 WIN
After an unbelievable run of seven losses on the trot, Storm have finally rediscovered the form they are capable of. They have won their last two. They beat the Eels by 22 and the Tigers by 28. The Bulldogs are in wretched form, losing five straight. They get their fair share of the ball but have done little with it. I see a Storm side hitting top gear and being too strong.
Melbourne Storm 2.50
Handicap (2-way)
50 WIN
Storm have finally started playing like they can, winning their last two cosily after seven losses on the trot. They are clearly now playing well, unlike the Bulldogs who have lost five straight. Bulldogs are seeing plenty of the ball but offer little going forward and are making too many mistakes defensively. I think Storm will win this, but the handicap start gives some insurance.
12:30 Connor Scutt vs Finn Behrens
Connor Scutt
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
Connor Scutt struggles to put winning streaks together, but that is more to do with the decent standard of players he's been playing rather than poor form. Finn Behrens has been playing on the Development Tour in Germany and averaging around 80. That simply shouldn't cut it if Scutt brings his usual game.
27th May 2026
14:00 Indian Premier League 2026
Gujarat Titans
Outright Winner
25 EW
According to the bookies, Gujarat Titans are the second-worst side in the competition, but I don't see it. Jos Buttler is a concern after a poor T20 World Cup campaign, but he is too good a player to keep playing that badly. I see him enjoying the fresh start. Even if he underperforms, there are enough quality batters in the side to step up. I also like their mix of bowlers and can see them going deep.
Mumbai Indians
Outright Winner
50 WIN
Mumbai Indians look the strongest side on paper and should go well. They had the best net run rate last season but just missed out on the play-offs by one point. They have a wealth of batting talent to choose from, although perhaps they are over-reliant on Bumrah in the bowling department. That may not matter, as I see them posting consistently high scores.
14:00 Indian Premier League 2026 Mumbai Indians
JJ Bumrah
Top Team Bowler
50 WIN
I'm just not convinced by Boult at the moment and think Bumrah is a much more reliable option. You can guarantee he will play his full quota of overs each match and simply looks the best, most consistent wicket-taker.
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.
