29th May 2026
17:00 Ludogorets Razgrad v Lokomotiv Plovdiv
No Goalscorer
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
Plovdiv’s strategy against the big teams in Bulgaria is pure survival. They are experts at wasting time and breaking the rhythm of the game. If they survive the first 20 minutes, they can easily suck the life out of this match.
17:00 South Africa v Nicaragua
South Africa #5-1
50 WIN
This World Cup send-off match at the Orlando Amstel Arena finds Bafana Bafana highly motivated to end their three-match winless streak. Facing a youthful, inexperienced Nicaragua squad ranked 131st, South Africa’s full-strength lineup should dominate. A 5-1 scoreline is likely as coach Hugo Broos looks for a convincing performance to boost morale.
18:00 Aalesund v HamKam
Henrik Udahl
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
This balanced fixture could see either side score first. Kristian Lonebu for Aalesund or Henrik Udahl for HamKam are strong contenders. HamKam’s slightly better recent form may help them edge an away win. Hence I'm backing the visitors to net first.
18:00 Fredrikstad v IK Start
Johannes Nunez
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
Fredrikstad hold the edge and should find the net first. Their forward line, Núñez, has shown good timing in recent home games. A 2-1-style result looks probable, with home advantage playing a key role.
18:00 KFUM v Tromso
Jens Hjerto Dahl
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
Tromsø’s quality should see them open the scoring on the break. Jens Hjertø-Dahl, in strong scoring form, is the top candidate for the first goal.
18:00 Orgryte IS v Elfsborg
Frederik Ihler
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
18:00 Rosenborg v Bodo/Glimt
Kasper Hogh
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
Kasper Høgh is going to get the first goal. I'm sure of it. Bodø/Glimt's Danish striker is on fire this season, and against a struggling Rosenborg, his finishing should shine from the start.
18:00 SK Brann v Sarpsborg
Kristall Ingason
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
Brann’s strong home record suggests they will break the deadlock early. Kristall Máni Ingason is a dangerous threat to score first with his movement in the box. Expect Brann to dictate the tempo.
18:00 Valerenga v Kristiansund BK
Mathias Grundetjern
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
Valerenga’s attacking momentum at home points to an early goal. Mathias Grundetjern could strike first given their current form. The match will likely feature open play and several scoring opportunities.
19:45 Bristol Bears v Bath
Bath
To Win
50 WIN
Bath deserve favouritism because they are currently more balanced, disciplined, and efficient in close matches. Bristol love expansive rugby but often leave defensive gaps exposed. Bath’s stronger set piece and smarter territorial game should gradually control this West Country clash.
Bath -10.50
Handicap
50 WIN
Bath -10.5 points makes sense because their forward dominance usually translates into scoreboard pressure late in matches. Bristol can score from anywhere, but they also concede soft points through rushed defensive reads and breakdown indiscipline under sustained pressure.
Over 63.50
Total Points
50 WIN
Total points should settle between 64 and 74. Bristol’s matches rarely stay quiet for long, and Bath possess enough attacking quality to join the scoring flow. Expect multiple tries, quick-tempo passages, and momentum swings throughout both halves.
19:45 Drogheda United v Waterford FC
Mark Doyle
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
Mark Doyle is who I'm going for as first scorer. He's shown good form for Drogheda, and at home I see him using his movement to strike early and give them the lead.
19:45 Dundalk v Derry City
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
This Irish rivalry has recently defied its low-scoring reputation, producing consecutive 2-2 draws in 2026. Both teams have found their attacking rhythm lately, and with Dundalk averaging nearly two goals at home, the statistics point heavily toward another match with three goals or more.
Yes
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
Derry City’s tendency to concede away from home matches perfectly with Dundalk’s consistent scoring record at Oriel Park. Given that BTTS has landed in four of their last five respective games, expect a competitive atmosphere where neither defense can keep the opposition out.
Derry City is the more stable side and hasn't lost to Dundalk in ten meetings. In a match where both will score, Derry’s superior quality should finally break the cycle of draws, allowing them to snatch a narrow 2-1 victory in the dying minutes.
No Goalscorer
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
This is a fierce local rivalry where the fear of losing to your neighbor often outweighs the ambition to score. Expect heavy tackles in midfield and very little goal-mouth action.
Derry City #2-1
50 WIN
After a string of 2-2 draws, Derry City is the side best positioned to finally break the deadlock cycle at Oriel Park. Derry remains unbeaten against Dundalk in their last ten meetings and boasts a deeper squad. Their ability to find late goals against a tiring Dundalk defense makes a narrow 2-1 away win the most statistically probable.
19:45 Glasgow Warriors v Connacht
Glasgow Warriors
To Win
50 WIN
Glasgow should win comfortably because Scotstoun remains one of the toughest places for visiting sides chasing quick-tempo rugby. Connacht can attack with ambition, but Glasgow’s superior breakdown control and defensive organisation usually punish loose phases and poor territorial exits.
Connacht 12.50
Handicap
50 WIN
Connacht +12.5 points still carries some value because they rarely stop playing, even when behind. Their offloading style creates surprise scoring chances. If Glasgow lose concentration defensively or rotate heavily, Connacht can keep the final margin respectable.
Over 52.50
Total Points
50 WIN
Total points should land between 52 and 60. Both teams prefer attacking rugby with quick recycling and width. Glasgow’s scoring ability alone can drive totals upward, while Connacht usually contribute enough through broken play and counter-attacking phases.
19:45 Shelbourne v Galway United
No Goalscorer
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
These two already played out a 0-0 draw earlier this season. Shelbourne has one of the best defensive records at home, and Galway is content to sit back and play for a point when on the road.
19:45 Sligo Rovers v Bohemians Dublin
Colm Whelan
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
Colm Whelan is the one I'm predicting to score first. Bohemians' forward looks sharp on the road, and Sligo's defense has been leaky, so he'll likely punish them quickly.
20:00 Colomiers v Provence
Colomiers
To Win
50 WIN
Colomiers should edge this because their home structure and territorial discipline consistently trouble organised opponents. Provence are dangerous and technically sound, but Colomiers usually raise physical intensity significantly at home, particularly during second-half pressure sequences around the breakdown and set piece.
Colomiers -3.50
Handicap
50 WIN
Colomiers -3.5 points feels realistic in what should be a controlled and tactical contest. Their ability to force penalties through sustained pressure often creates separation late. Provence are resilient, but Colomiers’ home rhythm normally finds decisive moments eventually.
Over 50.50
Total Points
50 WIN
Total points should fall between 45 and 55. Both sides prefer territorial management and structured attacking phases rather than reckless expansion. Expect long kicking exchanges, forward battles, and scoring driven more by pressure than open-field brilliance.
20:00 Shamrock Rovers v St Patricks Athletic
Graham Burke
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
Graham Burke is my choice for the first goal. In this big clash, his experience for Shamrock should see him pop up with a moment of magic to break the deadlock.
30th May 2026
11:00 Ireland vs New Zealand Test Match
New Zealand
Win Match
50 WIN
New Zealand is the overwhelming favorite for this historic one-off Test, facing a heavily depleted Irish side missing stars like Paul Stirling and Josh Little. I expect New Zealand to exert their dominance and win the match convincingly within four days.
KS Williamson
Man Of The Match
50 WIN
Kane Williamson is the most likely Man of the Match. His technical mastery in the long format often results in massive, match-winning hundreds. As the top run-scorer for the winning side, his influence on the game's outcome will be undeniable.
11:00 Qingdao West Coast v Shanghai Shenhua
Rafael Ratao
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
Rafael Ratão is who I'm backing to score first. Shenhua's attacker has the quality to exploit this matchup, and I see him finishing an early chance in their away-win push.
12:00 Henan v Zhejiang
Gustagol Gustavo Sousa
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
Gustavo should score the first goal here, in my view. Henan's forward is dangerous at home, and his positioning will likely pay off against Zhejiang's setup.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson

50 WIN
11:45 LIV Golf Invitational Korea
Bryson DeChambeau
50 EW
The defending champion of the Korean event (which he won last year in Incheon). His power off the tee is a massive advantage at Asiad CC, especially if the fairways are firm.
Joaquin Niemann
25 EW
He has been the most consistent "fast starter" on the LIV circuit this year, often posting a sub-66 round on the first day of play.
Jon Rahm
50 WIN
20:55 Charles Schwab Challenge
Akshay Bhatia
1st Round Leader
50 WIN
Bhatia thrives as a front-runner, often peaking in the first 18 holes of competition. His exceptional proximity to the hole and comfort in Texas conditions allow him to attack pins early. He has a high tendency to lead early rounds before the pressure of the weekend sets in.
Justin Thomas
1st Round Leader
25 EW
Thomas enters with elite iron play, ranking among the best in "Strokes Gained: Approach." His ability to stick wedges close on Colonial’s small greens facilitates early scoring bursts. Known for firing aggressive, low numbers to set the tournament pace, his current technical form is perfectly suited for Thursday.
Ludvig Aberg
1st Round Leader
25 EW
Åberg dominates the 2026 stats with the second-highest birdie average and an elite opening-round scoring record. His aggressive play style and familiarity with Texas winds allow him to dismantle courses early. He is a primary candidate to seize the lead before the greens harden later in the week.
Rickie Fowler
1st Round Leader
25 EW
Combining top-20 scoring form with over a decade of course experience, Fowler excels at Colonial. His current "tee-to-green" precision suggests he will navigate the tight layout flawlessly on day one. He consistently gains strokes early, making him a reliable pick for a strong, disciplined start this Thursday.
Russell Henley
1st Round Leader
25 EW
Henley is a precision specialist who leads the Tour in scrambling, making him nearly immune to early mistakes. On a tight, par-70 course, his accuracy off the tee is a massive tactical advantage. He typically avoids bogeys on Thursday, allowing him to quietly post a leading sub-par score.
22:45 Charles Schwab Challenge
Alex Smalley
25 EW
Smalley is currently "red-hot," carrying a streak of five consecutive top-20 finishes into this week. Ranking seventh in "Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green," his technical ball-striking is at a career peak. His statistical trend suggests he will maintain his position near the top of the leaderboard throughout all four rounds.
Christiaan Bezuidenhout
25 EW
A true Colonial specialist, Bezuidenhout has never missed a cut at this venue and excels on bentgrass greens. His world-class short game acts as a safety net, allowing him to save par and remain in contention when others falter. He consistently grinds out high finishes regardless of his ball-striking form.
Hideki Matsuyama
25 EW
Matsuyama remains a statistical powerhouse, particularly in "Strokes Gained: Around-the-Green." His elite recovery skills are vital for surviving Colonial’s difficult "Horrible Horseshoe" stretch. Given his high birdie-to-bogey ratio in 2026, he has the statistical pedigree to comfortably secure a spot within the top 10 by Sunday afternoon.
Ludvig Aberg
50 WIN
Russell Henley
25 EW
Henley is the definition of a high-floor player, leading the 2026 Tour in scrambling and driving accuracy. His game is built for the tight, strategic layout of Colonial. By avoiding major errors and ranking high in scoring consistency, he statistically projects as a very safe bet for a weekend top-10.
26th July 2026
15:30 All Ireland Football Championship 2026
Donegal
Win Football
25 EW
Donegal have peaked at the right time, displaying tactical maturity and squad depth. Their defense has been compact, and their transitions fluid. With recent wins over top-tier sides, they're no longer dark horses??"just serious contenders.
Kerry
Win Football
50 WIN
