21st January 2026
15:30 Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Pretoria Capitals T20

Sunrisers Eastern Cape

Win Match

50 WIN

Sunrisers seem to have Capitals' number, winning both games against them. A large part of that is down to the form of the top order of Bairstow and de Kock. Even if they underperform, there is plenty of batting further down for them to prevail.
17:45 FK Qarabag v Eintracht Frankfurt

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

Frankfurt's last three Bundesliga games have been full of goals, with them drawing 3-3 with Bremen and Dortmund and losing 3-2 at Stuttgart. This game looks a likely candidate for another high-scoring match. Qaraba? are just outside the playoffs after a 2-4 home defeat last time to Ajax. I see both sides going for it, with offenses on top.
19:45 Watford v Portsmouth

Watford

50 WIN

Although they have won 2 of the last three, Portsmouth are still far from convincing. Beating struggling Charlton and hapless Wednesday is nothing to get excited about. Sandwiched between those was a 5-0 thumping by Bristol City. Portsmouth simply struggle for goals, which should be their undoing tonight. Watford lost to promotion-chasing Millwall last time but had won their previous 4. They are strong at home, where they had scored in their previous 10 before that Millwall defeat.
20:00 Bayern Munich v Union Saint Gilloise

Bayern Munich

50 WIN

A win would lift USG into the playoffs, but that looks highly unlikely. Bayern are battering sides of late, scoring 71 goals in 18 games in the Bundesliga. At home in the Champions League group stages they are unbeaten in their last 37, winning 35. I just don't see them slipping up.

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

You have to go back to the Club World Cup in December to find the last time a Bayern game didn't go over 2.5 goals. Since the start of the season, all 32 games in all competitions have gone over 2.5, many quite comfortably.
22nd January 2026
11:15 Dubai Desert Classic

Brandon Stone

1st Round Leader

25 EW

The wind is scheduled to pick up later, so the early starters might have the best of the weather. Brandon Stone tees off at 7:15, so should have the best of the weather. He has a mixed bag of results here but did finish a fine 2nd here in 2021. Although unlikely to be contending for the win come Sunday, he has shown in the past that he can be a fast starter.
24th January 2026
13:00 Rayo Vallecano v Osasuna

Under 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

Rayo Vallecano have regressed from last season where they qualified for the Conference League. Although they are solid defensively at home, they struggle to score. They've scored just 7 and conceded 6, with an average of just 1.4 goals per game. Osasuna have scored just 3 goals in their 10 away games, so this doesn't look like a goal fest.
22:45 Mitsubishi Electric Championship

Ernie Els

25 EW

Els finished last season solidly with two third places and three second places in his last 10 events. He won this event last year and looks sure to be competing for the win.

Steven Alker

25 EW

Steve Alker rarely has a bad event. When last seen at the back of the year, he won the Simmons Tour Championship and finished runner-up next time at the Charles Schwab Cup. If starting the year in a similar vein, he will surely be contending.
25th January 2026
05:45 Webex Players Series Victoria

Cameron John

25 EW

Although he does occasionally throw in a shocker, Cameron John looks the most likely winner. He comes into this having won the Vic Open last week and the event in Queensland last November. These types of events can be tricky to predict, but at least John is a proven winner.
12:45 Dubai Desert Classic

Daniel Hillier

25 EW

Daniel Hillier finished last season off well, coming home 5th, 16th, 5th, and 6th. He carried on that form this year with a 2nd at last week's Dubai Invitational. It's not the deepest of fields, so I expect him to once again be figuring.

David Puig

25 EW

Puig came a solid T3 last week on a course that didn't really play to his strengths. Although he has never played this tournament before, this course should be right up his street. It's not the most challenging of courses, with wind probably the defence. Long drivers like Puig should thrive here. Combined with his solid putting and good current form, he should be challenging for the places at least.
13:15 Dubai Desert Classic

Jordan Gumberg

Top American

50 WIN

Reed is the most likely winner, but at such short odds he doesn't really appeal. Dustin Johnstone has never played here, and the course doesn't really play to his strengths. Ethan Fang needs more experience on the main tour before he can be considered. The rest aren't really showing anything. Gumberg won on the DP Tour in 2024 and finished T7 in October at the Genesis Championship in South Korea. If bringing that level, he has a better chance than his odds suggest.

Rory McIlroy

Top GB and Ireland

50 WIN

Although players like Fleetwood, Hatton, and Lowry have to be respected, Rory is clearly the one to beat. He has played here many times in the last 10 years and finished 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6th. That's a hugely impressive record. He warmed up last week with a solid T3.
15:45 Cell C Challenge

Ryan Van Velzen

25 EW

Ryan Van Velzen has struggled on the DP Tour but goes well on the Sunshine Tour. He was the Order of Merit winner in the 2023??"24 season. When playing on the tour in September he came a solid 2nd at the Stella Artois Championship South Africa. This is a weaker field than he has been playing against, so I'm expecting an upturn in his performance.
22:45 The American Express

Sepp Straka

25 EW

Sepp Straka won here last year by two shots with a -25. This course obviously plays to his strengths, and with him finishing a fine third when last seen at The Hero Challenge, he looks poised to go well again.

Robert MacIntyre

Top European

25 EW

There are a few Europeans that are in with a chance, but MacIntyre looks the most likely. His game looks in good nick after a fine 4th last week at the Sony Open. He finished on Sunday with a stunning 63, and if playing to that standard will be tough to beat.

Robert MacIntyre

Top GB and Ireland

50 WIN

Not a particularly strong GB and Ireland field, so if MacIntyre is anywhere near his best, he looks the most likely. He came a good 4th last week at the Sony Open, culminating with a splendid 63 on Sunday. If recapturing form anywhere near that standard, he looks the most likely top GB and Ireland player.
23:45 The American Express

Ryan Gerard

25 EW

Ryan Gerard finished last season well with a 2nd at the Mauritius Open. He followed that up last week with another 2nd place at the Sony Open. His game is clearly in good shape, so I think he'll go well again.

Si Woo Kim

25 EW

Si Woo Kim is always at his best on shorter courses where accurate approach play and strong putting are key. His win here in 2021 emphasizes that. Bermudagrass also brings out the best in him, with many of his best performances coming on it. He was in good form last time at the Sony Open, where he came 11th, but he ranked top in Tee to Green stats. That should stand him in good stead this weekend.
