3rd May 2026
11:00 Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders T20
Kolkata Knight Riders
Win Match
50 WIN
Sunrisers have always been a good betting side but haven't impressed with the ball. KKR are on a roll after winning their last two. Chasing appears to give teams a significant edge, so Sunrisers' decision to bat first looks like a mistake.
12:00 Hibernian v Celtic
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
Celtic are involved in a three-way battle for the title and can't afford to drop points, sitting three points behind Hearts. This looks far from straightforward as Hibs won 2-1 at Celtic Park in July. I think if Celtic want to win this they may well need a couple, so I like the Over.
12:30 Carlisle v Boreham Wood
Draw
50 WIN
Carlisle finished third on 95 points, so will be expected to win this. However, Boreham Wood are a strong side and are unbeaten against Carlisle this season, winning at home and drawing away. They've won four on the trot, keeping a clean sheet in all, so I can see them getting the draw.
13:00 Celta Vigo v Elche
Elche
50 WIN
Celta Vigo are going for a European spot and Elche are fighting to avoid relegation. They were 15 points apart just three games ago, but now it's down to just six. That is because Celta have lost three on the trot while Elche have won their last three. Celta Vigo have just four points from their last seven games, including a home loss to struggling Alavés when they conceded four. Elche have climbed four points away from the relegation spots. They bring the stronger recent form.
13:00 Odense BK v Silkeborg IF
Silkeborg IF 0.75
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
Silkeborg had an awful regular season but have performed better in the relegation league with three wins and a draw from their last four. They have performed well against Odense, winning two and drawing one of the three meetings this season. That's now five games unbeaten against them. I can see them getting something out of this.
14:00 Bournemouth v Crystal Palace
Draw
50 WIN
Bournemouth are unbeaten in 14, but they have been very drawish, drawing 8 of them. Palace are playing OK, with their only losses in the last 7 being to Man United and Liverpool. The game between these two earlier in the season ended all square, and I suspect so will this.
Over 10.00
Total Corners
50 WIN
Bournemouth can rack up the corners on their day, as shown by the 12 they won last time against Leeds. Palace haven't been a great corner-winning side, but last time at Liverpool they won 8. The reverse fixture between these two went over, and I think this can as well.
Over 4.00
Total Cards
50 WIN
Rob Jones is the ref who seemingly loves to dish out the cards, with 16 of his 27 games seeing him dish out 4 or more, and 12 times showing 5 or more. I don't see him holding back against two sides who pick up their fair share of cards. Palace are averaging just over 2 yellows per game plus a couple of reds, and Bournemouth have 76 cards this season. So I'd expect this to at least see 4.
14:00 HSV Hamburg vs TVB Stuttgart
Tie
Money Line
50 WIN
Hamburg are a terribly inconsistent side, struggling to put two back-to-back wins together. As a result, they haven't won two on the trot since October. They won last time, and despite being strong favourites, they may struggle to shake Stuttgart off. Stuttgart lost to leaders Magdeburg last time but prior to that were unbeaten in seven, drawing five of them. I think they can claim another draw.
14:00 Kildare v Westmeath
Westmeath
FT Result
50 WIN
Luke Loughlin is out for Westmeath with a hamstring injury. He's a big miss, but Westmeath are still a good side nonetheless, with a whole host of goal scorers in the side. They attack with purpose and energy and look capable of winning as underdogs.
15:00 Hull FC v Toulouse Olympique
Hull FC -22.50
Handicap (2-way)
50 WIN
Having watched York Knights rip through the Toulouse defence at will for a 24-point win last time, I worry about Toulouse defensively. Hull's controversial decision to part ways with head coach John Cartwright hasn't affected their on-field performances. On the contrary, they put in arguably their best performance of the season last time when blitzing Castleford 50-10 away. If they bring that intensity today, they can distance Toulouse quite easily.
15:00 Rochdale v Scunthorpe
Rochdale
50 WIN
Rochdale finished on 105 points, and it would be a travesty for them if they failed to get promoted. It may not be straightforward against Scunthorpe, who have drawn both games with Rochdale this season. However, Rochdale have the meanest defence in the league, and Scunthorpe have conceded more goals than any other side in the top 10. So I think Rochdale just do enough.
15:15 Getafe v Rayo Vallecano
Getafe
50 WIN
Rayo Vallecano have the second leg of the Conference League semi next week against Strasbourg, with them leading 1-0, and surely that must be their priority. They have struggled away in the league anyway, with just 12 points all season. Only goal difference separates Getafe from a European place, so their motivation should be a lot higher than Rayo's.
15:30 Man Utd v Liverpool
Man Utd
50 WIN
Liverpool's attacking threat has taken a big blow with both Mohamed Salah and Hugo Ekitike out with injuries. Not that they've been particularly good on the road anyway, with only 7 wins from 17. Man United are strong at home, winning 6 of their last 7. I give them the edge.
Benjamin Sesko
Anytime Goalscorer
50 WIN
Benjamin Šeško has been struggling to start games, with him mostly playing bit parts. That hasn't stopped him netting 10 times this season, though. He seems to have established himself in the starting lineup now, with him scoring last time against Brentford. I like his chances today.
Over 10.00
Total Corners
50 WIN
Man United have been racking up the corners at home of late, with them winning 7, 11, 6, 7, and 7 in their last five games. Liverpool games are the fourth highest in the league for corners, with Liverpool averaging 6 per game. The reverse fixture at Anfield had 13 corners, so I like the over.
16:00 Armagh v Down
Armagh
FT Result
50 WIN
Down caused quite an upset when defeating Donegal, but I don't see lightning striking twice. They got everything right tactically, running hard and chucking plenty of men forward aggressively. Armagh will be ready for them and won't roll over like Donegal did. Armagh attack with purpose and should have the nous to win this.
16:00 Fana W vs Molde W
Fana (W) 1.50
Match Handicap
50 WIN
Fana caused a huge upset by winning the first game. But not just winning ??" they went to Molde and won by 14. I doubt very much they can replicate that, but putting 14 points on Molde shows that they aren't a side to be underestimated. Now at home, I expect another spirited performance.
16:00 Nantes vs Chambery Savoie
Over 61.50
Points Total
50 WIN
Two good free-scoring sides, so I'm expecting a tally in the 60s today. When they met at Chambéry Savoie it ended in a 34-all draw. I'd expect Nantes to prevail being at home, but they may have to work hard to do so.
16:45 Turkish Airlines Open
Darius van Driel
25 EW
Darius van Driel's best performances have come on tree-lined fairways. It's little wonder, as he always ranks high in the driving accuracy rankings. His one win on the DP Tour came at the tree-lined Kenya Open, and it's not the only time he's performed well on courses such as this. He was a solid 8th last time, so he carries momentum into this.
David Puig
50 WIN
Liv star David Puig tries his luck at the Turkish Open, and in fairness he is clearly the best player in it. He warmed up for this with a 2nd to Rahm in Mexico City, and if he produces his game he is surely the one to beat.
17:00 Juventus v Verona
Juventus -1.75
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
With Lecce winning, Verona are now relegated, which had looked likely for a long time. It's been an awful campaign for them, with just three wins all season. Juventus are just two points ahead of Como for the last Champions League spot and can't afford to slip up in games like this. Juventus have already beaten the other two sides in the bottom three 4-0 and 5-0 at home and look capable of doing likewise.
17:30 Real Sociedad B v Burgos
Burgos 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
Real Sociedad B have been in awful form, with just one point from their last seven games. Beating promotion-chasing Burgos therefore looks far from easy. Burgos were on an eight-game unbeaten streak, winning six before losing to fourth-placed Castellón. Last time they had a solid draw against second-placed Coruña and look capable of at least getting a draw.
19:00 Aston Villa v Tottenham
Aston Villa
50 WIN
Spurs got a crucial win away at Wolves last time, ending a run of 15 games without a win, having lost 9 of them. As much as they need a win, it looks a tall order to win at Villa. Villa are strong at home with the fourth-best home record in the league. Spurs simply lack the quality to win there.
Over 10.00
Total Corners
50 WIN
Spurs have been winning a fair few corners of late, with their last 7 totals being 8, 6, 4, 13, 6, 7, and 5. Villa average 5.2 corners per game. With this likely to be an open game, I see this at least reaching 10.
20:00 Las Palmas v Valladolid
Las Palmas
50 WIN
Valladolid haven't been travelling well, with 5 defeats and two draws from their last 7 away games. Las Palmas are going for promotion and come into this having won their last 5 home games, keeping 4 clean sheets. They are clearly the stronger outfit.
22:45 Cadillac Championship
Chris Gotterup
25 EW
Chris Gotterup had a great start to the year, mopping up both the Phoenix Open and the Sony Open in Hawaii. Although his form has tailed off a tad??"24th, 25th, and 6th in his last three starts is hardly disastrous. This venue looks far more up his street, though. The key to winning here is simply hitting it long and being consistent with the putter. Gotterup is one of the longest strikers on the tour, so he should be vying for another win.
Gary Woodland
25 EW
This is a monster of a course with five long par 5s, one being 667 yds. Even the par 4s are long, with six of the eight being over 450 yds. It's therefore an obvious advantage to hit the ball long here, and what's more, it's not a particularly tricky course. That makes Gary Woodland of interest, with only Potgieter hitting the ball longer on average. He brings strong form into this with a solid 8th last time out and a win at the Houston Open in late March.
4th May 2026
19:15 Shaun Murphy v Wu Yize
Shaun Murphy
Win Match
50 WIN
Wu has impressed with his cool and calm nature and ability to scrap, but I think he comes up second-best in this one. Murphy is arguably playing some of his best snooker ever and looks in the mood to win again.
10th May 2026
14:00 Pakistan Super League 2026
Lahore Qalandars
Outright Winner
25 EW
It's a chaotic PSL this season with no crowds, just two venues, and substandard players due to them bizarrely scheduling it against the IPL. Qalandars won last season and have won three of the last four. They retain a strong squad. They possibly have the best selection of bowlers, and although the batting could be said to be a bit too heavy, there is quality there. I expect a strong performance from them.
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.
