8th February 2026
05:30 New Zealand vs Afghanistan World Cup
Afghanistan
Win Match
50 WIN
This looks a tricky opener for New Zealand as it's played in Chennai. New Zealanders clearly have the edge in batting, but this looks a tricky wicket to bat on, which will be a leveler. Afghanistan have some quality spinners who should really make New Zealand struggle. If Afghanistan bat OK, they can win this.
09:30 England vs Nepal World Cup
PD Salt (England)
Top Team1 Batsman
50 WIN
England should win this at a canter. If Nepal bat first, not many England batters should be required to take to the crease. Opener Phil Salt is of obvious interest. Phil Salt has been England’s standout batter recently, scoring 394 runs in nine matches. I'm expecting a big tally from him.
10:00 Liudmila Samsonova vs Magdalena Frech
Liudmila Samsonova
Win Match
50 WIN
Samsonova played some decent tennis last time in Abu Dhabi, beating Sofia Kenin and Janice Tjen before losing to Hailey Baptiste in three sets. She looks in good nick and should have too much for Frech, who hasn't impressed lately and has a poor record against top-20 players.
10:30 Laura Siegemund vs Varvara Gracheva
Varvara Gracheva
Win Match
50 WIN
Gracheva has been impressive so far, beating Sanovich 6-4, 6-0 and Cocciaretto 6-2, 6-1. Siegemund can raise her game on the day, but it looks tough to beat Gracheva in this mood.
11:30 Eyupspor v Istanbul Basaksehir
Eldor Shomurodov
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
Eyupspor are one of the lowest-scoring sides in the league with just 16 goals from 20 games. I therefore prefer in-form Ba?ak?ehir to score first. Shomurodov looks a solid bet for first scorer. He bagged the first goal last time and is the league's top scorer with 14.
12:00 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova vs Elise Mertens
Elise Mertens to win 2 - 0
Set Betting
50 WIN
Pavlyuchenkova has barely played since Wimbledon and has lost all three matches this year. The only set she won was against world No. 373 Baiz. Mertens is in fine form this season, winning 6 of her 8 matches, including a win over Mboko. It took eventual champion Rybakina to stop her at the Australian Open, and she looks set to wrap this up in two against out-of-form Pavlyuchenkova.
12:00 Emily Appleton vs Carolyn Ansari
Carolyn Ansari
Win Match
50 WIN
Appleton is quite a limited player who struggles at Challenger level. Ansari has a much better win/loss ratio, and although many of her wins have come at lower levels, the same can be said for Appleton.
12:01 Swansea v Sheff Wed
Swansea
50 WIN
There's not much else to say about Wednesday other than the fact they are certain to be relegated and may not even make it to positive figures. They have lost their last 7 and haven't scored in 8. Swansea are going well at home with 5 wins and a draw from their last 6. I don't see them slipping up.
Swansea #2-0
50 WIN
Wednesday have lost their last 7 and haven't scored in 8. I'm therefore happy to mark them down as no goals in this one. 1-0 or 2-0 looks the most likely outcome, as all of their last 5 games ended that way. Swansea are playing well at home, so 2-0 looks the call.
12:45 Qatar Masters
Richard Sterne
25 EW
This is a tricky course with its undulating greens where accurate approach shots and strong putting are essential. Good matches for this course are the Alfred Dunhill Links and the Abu Dhabi Championship. Sterne came a solid T12 (-19) in Abu Dhabi last year and T3 at the Alfred Dunhill. I think this course should suit him, and as a six-time DP Tour winner he looks worth a punt at these odds.
13:30 Angela Fita Boluda vs Lucija Ciric Bagaric
Angela Fita Boluda
Win Match
50 WIN
Bagaric won a W35 event last September, but that was on clay, and she clearly is better on a slow surface. Away from clay, she has a W6 L12 record over 2025??"26. Boluda is also a clay player, but last time on a hard court she pushed Aksu to a final set, which was a good effort and gives her the edge.
13:30 Clare v Down
Down 16.50
Handicap
50 WIN
Clare's A game is clearly a level above Down, and on their day they are capable of covering this line. In their two games they squeezed past Dublin by two points but thrashed Antrim. Down, in their opener, were four up at Carlow at the break, but a red card in the second half was costly as Carlow turned things around. In their other game they came from eight down against Wexford but pulled level before eventually losing by two. Down, though, have shown enough fighting spirit to keep within 16.
14:00 Batley Bulldogs v Catalan Dragons
Batley Bulldogs 36.50
Handicap (2-way)
50 WIN
Batley aren't the strongest of Championship sides, but they did have a fine 32-10 home win over Hunslet in their one home game this season. Super League side Catalans have never been the best travellers and have many new faces this year that need to bed in. I think they will be happy to come away with the win, and you can be sure Batley will be giving this their all, so I think they can keep within the handicap.
14:00 Brighton v Crystal Palace
Draw
50 WIN
Brighton aren't in great form, but they are unbeaten in five at home. However, four of those games ended in draws, with the only win being against a poor Burnley side. Palace are also struggling, and the departure of Guehi hasn't helped. They are winless in nine but have drawn three of their last six. This looks drawish to me between two sides that can't win.

14:00 Kildare v Antrim
Antrim
FT Result
50 WIN
Antrim were uncompetitive against Clare but gave Wexford a real scare and were unlucky to lose. They do look sloppy at the back, but they have shown enough going forward to worry Kildare. Kildare were awful against Dublin, scoring just 0-10. Antrim simply look more of a threat going forward.
15:00 Marie Bouzkova vs Victoria Mboko
Victoria Mboko
Win Match
50 WIN
Mboko is a rising star in good form. Her only losses in her last nine were to Mira Andreeva and Sabalenka. Bouzkova can't seem to get any rhythm and hasn't won two games on the trot since September. I don't see her troubling Mboko.
15:00 Oldham v Dewsbury Rams
Dewsbury Rams 22.50
Handicap (2-way)
50 WIN
Oldham have struggled against Dewsbury in recent times, with no wins from their last seven meetings. Dewsbury have started their championship campaign with two wins, while Oldham went down by 17 to the Broncos last time. Oldham are the stronger side, but Dewsbury are no pushovers and have the clear psychological edge over their opponents.
15:45 Limerick v Kilkenny
Kilkenny 4.50
Handicap
50 WIN
There was a time when Limerick seemed virtually invincible, but that isn't the case anymore. Despite naming a strong side against Waterford, they lost. Kilkenny did enough to beat Offaly, and there should be more to come. I think they should at least hang in there.
16:30 Liverpool v Man City
Man City
50 WIN
Man City aren't at their best at the moment, but this is a huge game for them, and we may see them at their best. They comfortably beat Liverpool at the Etihad 3-0, restricting Liverpool to hardly any chances. Liverpool are hard to trust in defense, conceding recent goals to the likes of Burnley and Wolves. If Man City are near their best, they can definitely cause this Liverpool defense all sorts of problems.

Over 3.50
Total Cards
50 WIN
A massive game, and I'd be surprised if there aren't cards in this one. Liverpool are averaging 1.6 cards per game and Man City 2.1. I therefore look at it as touch and go as to whether this goes over. However, the game between the sides earlier in the season had six cards, so I see a match of this magnitude having several cards.

22:45 WM Phoenix Open
Chris Gotterup
25 EW
Chris Gotterup has become a more reliable player this past year. He won the Scottish Open and followed it up with a 3rd at The Open. After a quiet spell, he came second at the Grant Thornton Invitational mixed pairs and followed that up by winning the Sony Open in Hawaii. He finished 18th last weekend, but I don't think the venue really suited his game. I expect a stronger showing this weekend.
Maverick McNealy
25 EW
In his two visits here, McNealy finished 6th and 9th, so the course seems to suit his game. His approach play from 270-plus yards is impressive and should stand him in good stead this weekend. He's a good long hitter, so as long as his putting is on song he should figure.
Nick Taylor
25 EW
Nick Taylor seems at his best at this time of year on the West Coast swing, where he has won 3 of his 5 titles. The Nedbank venue last week wasn't really to his liking, but he still came a respectable 18th. This is the time of year to back him, so I'm expecting a good effort this weekend.
Sepp Straka
Top European
50 WIN
Sepp Straka came a fine third at the Hero Challenge after a break since September. He didn't live up to that performance last week, though, after two poor opening rounds. However, he took a major step forward on day three, shooting a 68 on the hardest course. His consistency wasn't quite there, but he has shown enough to suggest that, if near his best, he should be a factor this weekend.
10th February 2026
19:45 Annan Athletic v Dumbarton
Yes
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
Dumbarton are a quality BTTS side with only three games all season not ending with both teams scoring. Annan have a 90% BTTS success rate at home, so yes, looks the option.
