18th April 2026
10:00 Zhao Xintong v Liam Highfield
Liam Highfield
Win Match
50 WIN
The last time these two met was in 2020, and Liam Highfield won without dropping a frame. Defending champions at times struggle in the opening round and have been known to exit the tournament at this stage. Therefore, I'm taking Highfield to do just that.
Liam Highfield 5.50
Handicap Betting
50 WIN
In the qualifying rounds, Liam Highfield had a five-frame victory against Stephen Maguire. If the current world champion succumbs to Crucible nerves in the defence of his title, then there is every chance Highfield can win at least five frames.
12:30 Alexander Zverev vs Flavio Cobolli
Alexander Zverev
Win Match
50 WIN
Alexander Zverev is ranked thirteen places higher than his opponent. He has played Flavio Cobolli twice before. Both of those matches were last year, and Zverev won each of them in straight sets.
12:30 Andrey Rublev vs Hamad Medjedovic
Andrey Rublev
Win Match
50 WIN
Andrey Rublev is ranked seventy-three places higher than Hamad Medjedovic. Rublev is yet to drop a set in this tournament. Even though Medjedovic is playing well and knocking out players ranked higher than himself, expect him to come up short against a player who appears to be up to the task of going all the way in this tournament.
12:30 Brentford v Fulham
Fulham
50 WIN
The last five home games played by Brentford in the Premier League have resulted in three draws and two defeats. Fulham are only three points behind Brentford, so a win today would draw them level on points. Last season Fulham won this fixture, so I'm backing them to do so again.
14:30 Marta Kostyuk vs Tatjana Maria
Marta Kostyuk
Win Match
50 WIN
Marta Kostyuk is ranked thirty-five places higher than Tatjana Maria. They have played each other twice before, with Kostyuk winning both matches without dropping a set. In their last meeting, Kostyuk dropped only one game in the entire match.
15:00 Leeds v Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton
50 WIN
In their last five Premiership games, Leeds have collected five points, while Wolves have collected seven points. Leeds may still be high following their win at Manchester United on Monday evening. Wolves have won on three of their last five visits to Leeds. So, although Wolves are below Leeds in the table, take them to get a much-needed three points.
15:00 Newcastle v Bournemouth
Bournemouth
50 WIN
Following two consecutive defeats, Bournemouth have moved three points above Newcastle in the Premiership table. Bournemouth have been playing well away from home, taking eleven points from their last five away Premiership games. They won this fixture last season and appear to have every chance of doing so again.
15:35 3:35 Ayr
Kap Vert
Daily Racing
25 EWNAP
The stamina of Kap Vert has to be taken on trust, as the furthest he has raced is just under a mile shorter than today's marathon trip. Kap Vert won his last race, going away from the rest of the field. That race was a mile shorter than today, but he clearly saw that trip out very well. He has won on good and soft ground. Kap Vert receives weight from the majority of this field and can, hopefully, jump well and run a big race.
17:30 Tottenham v Brighton
Brighton
50 WIN
Brighton have a chance to boost their chances of playing in Europe next season while making the reality of relegation for Tottenham a step closer. Tottenham have taken just one point from their last five home Premiership games. Brighton have won their last three away games, and the three teams they played were all higher in the table than Tottenham.
20:00 Chelsea v Man Utd
Man Utd
50 WIN
Chelsea were poor in their last home game, which was against Manchester City. That defeat meant that Chelsea had lost five of their last six home games. The only win they had was an FA Cup tie against Port Vale, who are bottom of the League One table. Manchester United are three places higher in the table than what appears to be an out-of-form Chelsea.
4th May 2026
19:00 World Championship 2026
Jack Lisowski
25 EW
This season Jack Lisowski finally won his first ranking tournament. If he can find that level of form and consistency in Sheffield, then Jack Lisowski could prove to be a lively outsider to lift the trophy. At the time of writing, he still has one more qualifying game to play. Providing he is successful in that match, I cannot see his price being as big as this once the World Championship starts at the weekend.
Judd Trump
50 WIN
With first-time defending champions having a bad record at the Crucible, it could be Judd Trump who once again lifts the world crown. Provided he is happy with his cue and tip and finds consistency in his play, then the Ace in the Pack could go all the way.
