10th May 2026
15:00 Grimsby v Salford City
Grimsby
50 WIN
Grimsby snuck into the last play-off spot, whilst Salford just missed out on automatic promotion. I'm not reading too much into that, though, as there were only three points between the sides. Grimsby finished the league strongly, winning 5 of their last 7. This included wins over promotion-chasing Cambridge, Crewe and Swindon. In the two meetings with Salford this season, Grimsby won 2-0 away and 3-1 at home, so I give them the edge.
15:00 Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Mumbai Indians T20
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Win Match
50 WIN
RCB have lost their form at the wrong time, with their top-4 place now in jeopardy. They really can't afford another defeat today. Those last two losses came out of the blue, as they were looking so strong with bat and ball. They should bounce back today, though, against a disappointing Mumbai Indian side. Batting second seems a major plus, with sides chasing having the benefit of batting under lights when dew appears. So winning the toss looks like a major advantage.
16:15 Roscommon v Galway
Galway
FT Result
50 WIN
Roscommon beat Mayo with ease, but I think that flatters them a tad, as Mayo were well off it that day. Roscommon have an awful record at home to Galway in the championship, losing their last seven meetings. Galway are a class side and have been winning the Connacht title for fun in recent years and should prevail again.
16:45 Catalunya Championship
Daniel Rodrigues
25 EW
It's a Greg Norman-designed course, and it's unknown how it will play, but it doesn't look like one for long drivers. Daniel Rodrigues was impressive last week in search of his maiden win with some good driving and approach play. He ended up T2 but showed enough to suggest he can perform well on a course like this.
Shaun Norris
25 EW
It's difficult to know what to expect from this course, but it certainly doesn't look like one for the big hitters. Rather, it's for someone who can strike the ball accurately and putt well with its undulating greens. Norris ticks both of these boxes and has been in good form of late, with a 4th and 6th in his last two starts.
17:30 Cordoba v Granada
Cordoba
50 WIN
After a run of 1 point from 8 games, Córdoba have turned things around impressively, winning 5 on the trot. Granada won their last away game, but that was against second-bottom Zaragoza. Prior to that they lost three on the spin and may find Córdoba a tad too hot.
19:00 World Seniors Championship 2026
Ronnie OSullivan
50 WIN
Of the four players left, it is difficult to see Steadman, Milkins, or Perry troubling O'Sullivan. He showed good form at the World Championship and continued that into the Seniors. He easily looks the most likely winner.
20:00 Angers v Strasbourg
Strasbourg 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
Angers could theoretically still get relegated, but that does look unlikely. Their recent form is shocking, with just 2 points from their last 7 games. They struggle for goals, with the 27 scored being the lowest in the league. I therefore expect Strasbourg to get something out of this. Strasbourg must put a disappointing Conference League knock-out behind them, and although they may find it difficult to get up for this one, they are a more potent force going forward and look likely to at least get a draw.
20:00 Auxerre v Nice
Draw
50 WIN
A massive game at the bottom with Nice one place above the relegation zone and Auxerre occupying that spot. A win for Auxerre today would see the leapfrogging of Nice to safety. That may be risky though, as Nice have drawn four on the trot even though they played 2nd-placed Lens, 7th-placed Marseille and 4th-placed Lille. Auxerre have drawn three of their last five, so a draw looks on the cards.
20:00 Le Havre v Marseille
Draw
50 WIN
Marseille are strong favourites but don't look an attractive bet given their recent form. They have just one win from their last six. In their last two games they lost 3-0 to second-bottom Nantes and drew with fourth-bottom Nice. Le Havre have become draw specialists, drawing five on the trot. With Marseille's dip in form, another draw wouldn't surprise.
20:00 Metz v Lorient
Draw
50 WIN
It's been a dreadful campaign for Metz with just three wins, which saw them relegated a while ago. However, their recent matches haven't been that bad, with three draws from their last six. That includes a draw with Europe-seeking Rennes. Lorient don't travel well, with just two draws. They did, however, draw six, and that outcome appeals today.
20:00 PSG v Brest
PSG
50 WIN
PSG are unbeaten in 33 successive meetings with Brest, winning 25 of them. They could all but wrap up the title today with a win, and I don't see them slipping up. Brest are finishing the season poorly, with no wins in six, conceding 17 goals in the process. They were in Paris in their last away game and were thumped 4-0 by Paris FC. A similar result wouldn't surprise.
20:00 Rennes v Paris FC
Rennes & Yes
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
A crucial game for Rennes as they can still win a Champions League outright spot or a qualification place. They still aren't even assured of a Europa League or Conference League place, though, so they really need to win this. To do so they may need to score at least two, as they have just four clean home sheets this season. Paris have been banging in the goals of late, so I think they can score a consolation goal.
20:50 Truist Championship
Gary Woodland
1st Round Leader
25 EW
Gary Woodland's last week started with a 68 and 69, putting him right in contention for a high finish. However, a shocking 77 on Saturday with three bogeys and two double bogeys wrecked his chances. His overall form has been good, though, with an 8th at the RBC Heritage the time before, and a fine win at the Houston Open, winning by 5. He is hitting it long and accurately, which is a major plus around here.
22:45 Truist Championship
Adam Scott
25 EW
Adam Scott looks a lively shot at 30/1. He ranks 11th for driving distance and 1st for SG: Approach over the past few months, which is a good fit around here. He's performed well at Quail Hollow in the past, and with his current game looking in good shape, I'm expecting a good weekend.
Gary Woodland
25 EW
Gary Woodland started with a 68 and 69 on Thursday/Friday, but a poor 77 on Saturday ruined his chances. He has been playing well, though, with an 8th at the RBC Heritage previously and a 5-shot win at the Houston Open. He is hitting as long as anyone, which looks like a bonus on this course.
Xander Schauffele
25 EW
Xander Schauffele came second here in 2023 and 2024, so this test of accuracy and putting seems to suit his game. His best form seems to come at this time of year, and his form coming into this looks solid. He has four consecutive finishes in the top 12 with some fine approach work and putting. He has every chance of figuring this weekend.
Ludvig Aberg
Top European
25 EW
Ludvig Åberg was a disappointing 60th on his only start here last year, but his form is a lot better right now, so I'm expecting a much better performance. He has four top-5 finishes from his last five starts, and this course really ought to suit him. His approach play and driving distance have been top-notch recently, which should see him master these par 5s.
11th May 2026
10:00 Brandon Nakashima vs Nikoloz Basilashvili
Nikoloz Basilashvili
Win Match
50 WIN
Brandon Nakashima hasn't really impressed on clay in the last two seasons, with a 3??"3 record this year and a 6??"8 record last year. Of the players he beat, none were impressive, all ranked outside the top 35. Basilashvili has already come through four rounds, culminating in a fine win over Shelton last time. He looks capable of causing an upset.
10:00 Flavio Cobolli vs Thiago Agustin Tirante
Over 22.50
Total Games
50 WIN
Cobolli is a warm favourite, but Tirante isn't one to be swept aside easily. He is fiendishly difficult to break, ranking 2nd in aces hit on clay this season. He won over 80% of first serves at this tournament, so I can see the sets going long. All three of their meetings went to a final set, and I suspect this will as well.
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.
