16th January 2026
14:45 Al Khaleej Saihat v Al Akhdoud
Al Khaleej Saihat
17:30 Al Ittihad Jeddah v Al Ittifaq Dammam
Al Ittihad Jeddah
18:00 Monaco v Lorient
Monaco
18:00 Nevers v Provence
Nevers
To Win
50 WIN
Nevers are favored because their home ground turns matches into arm-wrestles they usually win. Their pack hits harder late on, and Provence tend to lose accuracy under sustained pressure. Nevers should pull away through discipline and territory.
Nevers -5.50
Handicap
50 WIN
Nevers -5.5 points is the right angle. At home they usually win tight first halves before pulling away late through penalties and maul pressure. Provence rarely collapses completely, but Nevers consistently create a one-score-plus cushion by full time.
18:30 Beziers v Aurillac
Beziers
To Win
50 WIN
Beziers deserve backing because of their aggression around the breakdown and relentless line speed. Aurillac fight hard but lack consistency away. If Beziers start fast and stay disciplined, their pressure game should decide this before late nerves appear.
18:30 Biarritz v Soyaux Angouleme
Biarritz
To Win
50 WIN
Biarritz are strong favourites thanks to physical defence and smart kicking at home. They force teams into poor exits and punish mistakes. Soyaux Angoulême may show ambition, but Biarritz’s patience should grind them down over eighty minutes.
18:30 Carcassonne v Dax
Carcassonne
To Win
50 WIN
Carcassonne’s shorter odds reflect trust in their home intensity and tactical kicking. They slow games down and frustrate opponents. Dax can counter but often fades physically. Carcassonne should edge key moments and close the contest with smarter decisions.
18:30 Colomiers v Oyonnax
Colomiers
To Win
50 WIN
Colomiers at this price reflects dominance built on structure and tempo. Their forwards recycle quickly and starve opponents of possession. Oyonnax can resist early but struggle once chasing. Colomiers should impose control and stretch the gap steadily.
Oyonnax 14.50
Handicap
50 WIN
Colomiers minus 12.5 points is justified. Their home performances regularly clear double digits due to sustained possession and superior conditioning. Oyonnax often concedes late tries when chasing games. Colomiers should stretch this beyond two converted scores over eighty minutes.
18:30 Mont de Marsan v Valence Romans
Mont de Marsan
To Win
50 WIN
Mont de Marsan are favourites due to a superior balance between forward power and backline efficiency. Valence Romans struggle when forced to defend long phases. Expect Mont de Marsan to dominate possession, win collisions, and convert pressure into a comfortable home win.
19:00 Annecy v Amiens
Annecy
20:00 Bath v Edinburgh
Bath
To Win
50 WIN
Bath are overwhelming favourites because their squad depth and attacking rhythm are on another level. Edinburgh can scrap but struggle defending wide channels. Bath’s pace and finishing quality should create separation early and turn this into a one-sided evening.
20:00 Grenoble v Agen
Grenoble
To Win
50 WIN
Grenoble being so short is no surprise. Their defensive organisation and set-piece dominance suffocate visiting sides. Agen lack punch away from home. If Grenoble control territory as usual, they should dictate the match and win without unnecessary risk.
20:00 Pau v Bulls
Pau
To Win
50 WIN
Pau are rightly favoured at home, where structure and discipline define their game. The Bulls bring power but can be impatient. If Pau manage territory and deny momentum, their control and goal-kicking should be enough to see off the challenge.
17th January 2026
12:00 Dynamo Dresden v Greuther Furth
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
This has the feel of a match where control comes second to intent. Dresden feed off home energy and Fürth rarely shy away from attacking transitions. That combination often produces chances at both ends rather than a cagey battle.
12:30 Bradford v Cardiff
Yes
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
Bradford have seen goals at both ends in a majority of their recent matches, scoring 8 and conceding 7 in their last six, with BTTS in roughly half of those games. Cardiff’s defence isn’t watertight either, letting in goals in several of their recent fixtures despite winning a few tight games. Their only recent head-to-head saw both score in a high-scoring clash, with Bradford bagging three and Cardiff one in their last meeting. Stats lean toward both attacking and defensive mistakes, so both teams finding the net feels likely.
12:30 Man Utd v Man City
Man Utd
50 WIN
Derbies are emotional currency, not tactical equations. United at home historically turn these games into chaos, where form goes out the window and moments decide everything. City dominate possession but can be rattled when pressed aggressively and disrupted early. United thrive in that disorder and have punished City before in similar situations.
12:30 Wigan v Bolton
No
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
This one is less straightforward. Recent aggregated stats for Wigan suggest their games don’t see both sides score all that often, with BTTS around half or less in some samples. Bolton’s recent outings also show low BTTS frequency compared to high-scoring affairs. Moreover, recent form has been patchy for Wigan, and Bolton’s last matches have been under 2.5 goals-heavy. Because neither side has been consistently porous at both ends, this leans against BTTS.
13:00 Sharks v Clermont
Clermont 27.50
Handicap
50 WIN
Sharks to win and cover minus 17.5 points. Anything more than that is a duel indeed. Durban conditions, altitude-adjusted fitness, and forward power heavily favour the hosts. Clermont struggle badly on long trips. Once Sharks establish dominance up front, this should open into a twenty-point-plus home win.
14:30 TSG Hoffenheim v Bayer Leverkusen
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
Expect space everywhere. Hoffenheim’s home games often turn into track meets, and Leverkusen punish teams that leave gaps. Even if one side starts cautiously, the pace rarely stays low for long.
14:30 Wolfsburg v Heidenheim
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
On paper, this looks controlled, but Wolfsburg’s defensive lapses change that quickly. Heidenheim are brave enough to exploit those moments, and once Wolfsburg respond, the game tends to stretch and invite goals.
15:00 Barnsley v Blackpool
Yes
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
Barnsley’s games of late have been open, and Blackpool’s defense doesn’t inspire shutouts. They tend to concede regularly. Meanwhile, Blackpool can find the net too, especially when playing away. Both teams scoring fits with their recent scoring and conceding trends.
15:00 Burton Albion v Huddersfield
No
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
Huddersfield tend to control the game and limit opposition chances, and Burton at home have shown they can keep it tight. Huddersfield often grind out results with disciplined defence, so this is more likely to stay a clean sheet for one side.
15:00 Chelsea v Brentford
Chelsea
50 WIN
Chelsea’s home performances against mid-table opposition are generally controlled and professional. Brentford can be awkward, but Chelsea’s superior individual quality and stronger bench often tilt tight games in their favour over ninety minutes.
15:00 Crewe v Barrow
Crewe
50 WIN
Crewe’s strength lies in ball retention and positional discipline. At home, they are patient and rarely panic if early chances do not arrive. Barrow can be stubborn but lack the creativity to punish teams that dominate possession. This feels like a methodical Crewe win rather than a dramatic one.
15:00 Exeter v Stevenage
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
Both teams have scored in 6 of their last 8 meetings, and Exeter has won 60% and lost just 20%. That is a good indicator that while both teams to score is high, there will likely be a winner that will make the total exceed 2 goals.
Yes
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
Exeter have been productive at home and concede more than they'd like. Stevenage score with some regularity, too, and their recent direct clashes generally have goals from both sides. Scrappy and end-to-end, BTTS fits.
Exeter & Yes
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
The visitors' defense is too porous. They have conceded goals in 20 consecutive games and should allow multiple here. They also have a good chance of scoring.
15:00 Gillingham v Newport County
Gillingham
50 WIN
Gillingham at home is usually a controlled, no-nonsense operation. They concede few chances, manage games well, and rarely give opponents cheap momentum. Newport struggle away against organized sides and often rely on chaos rather than structure. This fixture suits Gillingham’s disciplined approach, where patience wins and mistakes are punished calmly.
15:00 Leeds v Fulham
Fulham
50 WIN
Leeds often burn energy without control, especially when forced to dictate play. Fulham are far more mature in game management and know when to slow matches down. Their ability to strike on transitions and defend compactly makes them well suited to punish Leeds’ open structure. This has an away upset written all over it.
15:00 Liverpool v Burnley
Liverpool
50 WIN
Liverpool at home against a defensively fragile Burnley side is a mismatch. Liverpool’s pressing, depth, and finishing quality usually overwhelm teams that struggle to cope with sustained pressure, especially at Anfield where they historically convert dominance into goals.
15:00 Luton v Lincoln City
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
Luton has a high scoring tendency at home, and Lincoln is the second best in the tournament. I think both teams will bring their best to produce over 2.5 goals and finish on the scoresheet. 5 of their last 7 gmaes have seen over 2.5
Yes
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
luton has high scoring tendency at home and Lincoln is the second best in the tournament and so i think both teams will bring their best to produce both over 2.5 goals and finsing the net at the end. 6 of Lincoln last 7 matches has seen both teams scored
15:00 Mansfield v Port Vale
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
In eight out of their last 10 meetings the games have ended with three goals or more. I think they also have a good chance here to produce three or more goals, since it's rare for their games to end in a draw when they meet. Both teams have a good chance of finding the net.
Yes
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
Mansfield’s recent fixtures have often featured goals from both sides, and Port Vale typically concede while scoring themselves. Their last meetings have seen this theme repeated. Defense has been the weak link for both squads in recent matches, making BTTS a repeat trend.
15:00 Northampton v Wycombe
Under 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
Record shows that 6 of their last seven meetings have seen under 2.5 goals. Also, the hosts have gone three games without finding the net. Not to mention that the visitors will be more interested in defending than scoring in this match. Everything points towards under 3 goals here.
15:00 Oldham v Cheltenham
Oldham
50 WIN
Oldham tend to be reliable when playing on the front foot, especially at home where tempo and physicality come naturally. Cheltenham often struggle when forced to defend for long periods and offer limited attacking threat in response. Over ninety minutes, Oldham’s consistency should tell.
15:00 Peterborough v Plymouth
Yes
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
Peterborough are struggling but have shown they can score against teams of Plymouth’s level. Plymouth, meanwhile, aren’t a clean-sheet machine either, conceding more than once in several games. Combined with mixed recent outings and attacking patterns, there’s a strong chance that both teams get on the scoresheet, even if the final tally is modest.
15:00 Shrewsbury v Harrogate Town
Shrewsbury
50 WIN
Shrewsbury are far more comfortable dictating the rhythm than Harrogate, especially on their own ground. Harrogate rely heavily on counterattacks, which are harder to execute against a compact and organised opponent. Shrewsbury’s balance across the pitch should see them edge this contest.
15:00 Stockport v Rotherham
Stockport & Yes
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
Stockport’s matches often see open play and goals conceded, especially recently against mid-table sides. Rotherham, while inconsistent, has shown an ability to score and concede in recent matches. Their style tends to be direct, and head-to-head is not short of goals. With both teams capable of finding the net but also prone to defensive lapses, BTTS looks a solid play.
15:00 Sunderland v Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace
50 WIN
Sunderland’s enthusiasm is admirable, but it often comes with tactical gaps. Palace bring experience, physical balance, and players comfortable deciding games in isolated moments. Against energetic but naïve opposition, Palace tend to grow into matches and strike late. This is a classic case of composure beating excitement.
15:00 Tottenham v West Ham
Tottenham
50 WIN
Tottenham’s attacking rhythm and home intensity give them the edge here. West Ham tend to sit deep and absorb pressure, but Spurs usually create enough volume to break teams like this down, particularly when the tempo stays high.
15:15 Bayonne v Leinster
Bayonne 17.50
Handicap
50 WIN
Even rotating, Leinster control matches through discipline and precision. Bayonne rely on emotion at home but struggle against clinical sides. Leinster’s ability to punish errors should push the margin into double digits. Home advantage could help them close the margin to below 20.
15:15 Stormers v Leicester Tigers
Leicester Tigers 20.50
Handicap
50 WIN
Stormers to win with a -14.5 handicap. Beating a championship contender by 20+ points is possible but rare. Cape Town pace and attacking width stretch structured European defenses. Leicester are organized but lack speed out wide. If the Stormers play at tempo, they should clear two converted tries comfortably.
17:00 Winterthur v St Gallen
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
If you want structure, look elsewhere. Winterthur games are messy by nature, and St. Gallen thrive in chaos. Neither side is built to shut a match down, which is why goal lines here get tested often.
17:30 Nottm Forest v Arsenal
Arsenal
50 WIN
Arsenal’s structure, ball retention, and attacking balance make them clear favourites. Forest struggle badly against teams that dominate possession and attack wide spaces. Arsenal normally manage these fixtures with patience rather than panic.
17:30 RB Leipzig v Bayern Munich
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
This fixture almost never crawls. Bayern force the tempo wherever they go, and Leipzig are incapable of sitting back for ninety minutes. Once the first goal lands, the game usually opens up fast, which makes three goals a very realistic outcome.
20:00 Gloucester v Toulon
Toulon
To Win
50 WIN
Toulon’s pack and defensive line speed travel well in Europe, and Gloucester struggle when denied quick ball. Expect Toulon to control collisions, squeeze territory, and win by around eight to twelve points.
18th January 2026
13:00 Bristol Bears v Bordeaux
Bordeaux
To Win
50 WIN
Bordeaux’s attacking structure and power carriers consistently break gain lines, while Bristol often leaks points when tempo rises. If Bordeaux start well, this shapes into a controlled away win by a converted-try margin.
14:00 Wolverhampton v Newcastle
Newcastle
50 WIN
Newcastle’s physical intensity and home atmosphere often overwhelm visiting sides lacking cutting edge. Wolves’ struggles in front of goal make it difficult for them to survive sustained pressure. Newcastle usually turn these matches into comfortable wins.
15:15 La Rochelle v Harlequins
La Rochelle
To Win
50 WIN
At home, La Rochelle dominate set piece and breakdowns, denying sides like Quins the chaos they need. Expect La Rochelle to strangle possession, score through forwards, and stretch the margin beyond two tries.
15:15 Northampton Saints v Scarlets
Scarlets 34.50
Handicap
50 WIN
Northampton to win and comfortably cover -18.5 points but not twice as much. The gap here is brutal. Saints’ pace, depth, and attacking cohesion should overwhelm Scarlets early. Once heads drop, Northampton tend to pile on scores and push this into a twenty-plus point result.
16:30 Aston Villa v Everton
Aston Villa
50 WIN
Villa’s home form has been consistently strong, especially against teams that defend deep without much attacking threat. Everton’s limited creativity plays directly into Villa’s organised press and controlled build-up play.
17:30 Glasgow Warriors v Saracens
Glasgow Warriors
To Win
50 WIN
Scotstoun tempo and width trouble visiting sides, even elite ones. Saracens remain dangerous but can struggle away when chasing games. Glasgow’s attacking rhythm should earn a narrow but clear one-score-plus victory.
Saracens 8.50
Handicap
50 WIN
