02:00 New Zealand v Egypt
Egypt
50 WIN
@-163
Win
31
New Zealand were better than expected against Iran, but this is a step up in class. Egypt are a solid-looking side and pose a serious goal threat with Marmoush, Salah, and Ziko. I don't see New Zealand being able to keep them quiet.
Omar Marmoush

We've seen how good Marmoush can be with his exploits at Man City. He is likely to lead the attack again for Egypt and had five shots against Belgium. Against a weaker and leaky New Zealand side, I think he can score.

23:00 Uruguay v Cape Verde
Uruguay #1-0
50 WIN
@+419
Lose
-50
Uruguay had 27 shots against Saudi Arabia with 10 on target. Despite that, they could manage just one goal. Cape Verde frustrated Spain and held them to a shock 0-0 draw. I expect the same tactics today, with them offering little going forward but being resolute in defence. Therefore, a narrow 1-0 win looks on the cards.

Cape Verde managed just one corner against Spain, but it was little wonder as they had just 26% possession and rarely ventured forward. They should get a bit more of the ball today and win a few more corners, particularly if they go behind. Uruguay had an impressive 14 corners against Saudi Arabia, so are capable of covering this line by themselves.

Lose
-50
Jacob Bridgeman missed the cut in his only start here but is better than that. Accurate approach play and putting are essential this weekend, and Bridgeman excels in both. His putting is elite, ranking 3rd for SG: Putting on the tour. If he can handle the difficult greens, he could figure it out this weekend.
Ryan Gerard
25 EW
@+8000
Lose
-50
Ryan Gerard is an elite driver, but his approach play and putting seem to have come on of late, making him of interest. He was second going into the final round at the Charles Schwab, but a poor final round dropped him to 10th. Last time out, though, at the Memorial he did even better, finishing second after a playoff. He's clearly in fine form, so can outperform his odds.
Wyndham Clark
25 EW
@+3300
Win

Wyndham Clark won in 2023, so obviously has the ability to go well here. He enters in fine form. He won the recent Bryan Nelson CJ Cup, was third at the Memorial, and last week was 2nd going into the last round, but a poor Sunday dropped him to 11th. He is one of the best putters around, which should stand him in good stead for around here.
20:15 Wales vs Scotland
Wales
Win Match 2-way

There doesn't look an awful lot between the sides, but the Welsh pair of Llew Bevan and David Davies look stronger. They are more clinical on the doubles, which could be the difference.
20:10 US Open
Cameron Smith

@+8000

-50
Since switching to the LIV Tour, Smith's form has clearly deteriorated. There have been positive signs of late, though, with four top-10s from his last 12. That includes a recent 7th at the PGA Championship. I get the impression he relishes his chance to play in the PGA Tour majors, so I can see him going well.
20:00 Belgium v Iran
Belgium
50 WIN
@-227
Lose
-50
Iran didn't look solid at the back against New Zealand. New Zealand don't usually offer much going forward, but they managed 14 shots and scored two. A superior Belgium side should really punish Iran.
Kevin De Bruyne
Anytime Goalscorer
50 WIN
@+240

-50
De Bruyne looked lively against Egypt, with De Bruyne a constant threat. There's clearly a goal in him, and the fact he will probably be on penalties is a plus.
Shoja Khalilzadeh
Player to be Booked
50 WIN
@+300
Lose
-50
Iran's defence had a torrid time against a not-very-strong New Zealand side, with only left-back Rezaeian looking solid. Central defender Khalilzadeh was strong in the air but looked suspect on the ground. He should be under constant pressure and will do well to avoid a card.

Dario Herrera is the ref who can go card-crazy far too often. He is averaging 5.7 cards per game this year and last year averaged 6, so the players had better watch out. Belgium, for all their attractive play, do pick up their fair share of yellows. They got two against Egypt, both for holding; a similar total wouldn't surprise. Iran could be under constant pressure, so look sure to receive some.

17:00 Spain v Saudi Arabia
Draw
50 WIN
@+1000
Lose
-50
The minnows have largely done well at the World Cup, so I wouldn't rule out Saudi Arabia from getting something out of this. They were dogged in the draw with Uruguay and, last December, had a good upset win over a talented Ivory Coast side, so they can raise their game when need be. Spain are a significantly stronger side but often overpass the ball and lack a cutting edge. They could easily run away with this, but at 11.00 I'm willing to bet on them underperforming again.

Saudi Arabia saw little of the ball against Uruguay but still won 4 corners. I expect them to see little of the ball again, but I can see them still getting some corners. Spain won 11 corners against Cape Verde, and in a game they should dominate I see another decent return.

Spain can get tetchy, especially if things aren't going their way, with tripping and holding. I therefore wouldn't rule them out of getting a card or two. Saudi Arabia have two or three card magnets in their side, so they could even cross this line by themselves.
16:00 Monaghan v Westmeath
Monaghan
FT Result
50 WIN
@-200
Win
25
Monaghan were dreadful in the league campaign but look a lot stronger now. They were slick and controlled in the second half when beating Roscommon and look to have found their best form. Westmeath have been a surprise package this season, but they haven't the deepest squad and they have several injury concerns for this one. I think Westmeath have over-performed and an improving Monaghan side will best them.

Newinn Rex is a prolific winner and recently won five on the spin, including two A1 races. It was second and third in its last two starts, but those were in OR3 races. It looks to have a good chance of another win against this level of opposition.
15:00 St Helens v Huddersfield Giants
St Helens -22.50
Handicap (2-way)
50 WIN
@+108
Win
54
St Helens have been disappointing this season and come into this losing their last three. I'm not too bothered about those defeats, though, as Leeds are quality. Warrington always beat St Helens, and Castleford are hugely erratic and capable of pulling off impressive wins. Huddersfield look the worst side in the league. In their last two games they conceded 36 points to both Toulouse and Hull, two struggling sides. Prior to that, Rhinos thrashed them 52-0. Although St Helens have been far from convincing, they have the quality to run away with this.

All the recent matches between these two have been close. The Grand Prix went to a final set, and the last 5 eleven leg format matches all went over this line, with 4 of them going to a deciding leg. Even the European Championship went to a final leg, ending 11-10. So I like the over.
13:15 Dublin v Donegal
Dublin 3.50
Handicap
50 WIN
@-109
Win
46
Donegal just can't string together two solid halves, as shown in their shock defeats to Cork and Down. Unless they play solidly for the hour, they could come unstuck. Dublin have been erratic but often produce the goods at Croke Park and will relish the chance to heap more misery on Donegal.
13:00 Cameron Menzies vs Tom Sykes
Cameron Menzies
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@-136

-50
Sykes is displaying fine form, beating Springer in round 1 with a 103 average and Schindler with a 95 average. That's not his normal average, and I doubt he can keep it up. Menzies brushed aside Price 6-1 with a 106 average and banged in seven 180s in eight legs. No matter how well Sykes plays, I don't see him beating Menzies in this form.

Doets is one of the rising stars in the game, so just edges favouritism. However, Cross is still playing well and recently won Players Event 22. This looks a tough one to call, but it should be tight.

It's been a disappointing campaign for Storm, with them sitting 12th. However, they've been more solid of late, winning 4 of their last 5, and a top-8 place is still possible with a good run. Raiders have looked unimpressive when I've seen them, and a Storm side building momentum should prevail.

Raiders are a poor team and have the third-lowest points with 261. Against what is often a solid Storm defence, I don't see them scoring many. Storm have been disappointing this season, so I see them keeping it tight and doing enough to win.
05:00 New Zealand Warriors v North Queensland Cowboys
New Zealand Warriors -8.50
Handicap (2-way)
50 WIN
@+100
Win
50
Cowboys have been inconsistent this season and were poor in their last two games. They lost by 14 to a not-very-strong Raiders side and, last time, were badly outclassed by the Dolphins on their own patch. The meters they made in possession were poor, and they never looked competitive. Warriors are strong this season and are capable of putting weaker sides to the sword.
05:00 Tunisia v Japan
Japan
50 WIN
@-175
Win
28
After a 5-1 thrashing by Sweden, Tunisia took the controversial decision to sack their coach mid-tournament. Whether that results in an improved performance remains to be seen. They would have to improve significantly to beat Japan, though. Japan looked decent in the draw against the Netherlands and look a clear level above what appears to be a weak Tunisia side.

Referee István Kovács of Romania has the honour of refereeing his 1,000th World Cup match, and I don't see that honour holding him back from showing cards. He has a wealth of experience but doesn't shy away from booking players. Over his career he has averaged 5.3 yellow cards per game. Tunisia had just one yellow against Sweden but easily could have had more, and as the deficit rose their commitment waned. I can see them picking up cards today. Japan don't usually pick up many, but even one may be enough to at least reach three.

Yeboah looked lively against the Ivory Coast with three shots and hitting the crossbar. Curaçao looked particularly vulnerable down the left, so the left winger should get joy today.

Ecuador are a tough side to break down. So despite Curaçao getting a surprise goal against Germany, I don't see them repeating that feat. Ecuador, though, don't score many, but they should dominate the game. Against a Curaçao side that struggled badly in defence against Germany, I can see Ecuador getting three.

Ning Ma of China takes charge and hasn't been shy to show cards. In his five games this year he showed 26 yellows and a red, and last year showed 89 yellows and a red from 18 games. Players will obviously have to be on their guard in this one. I don't know whether Curaçao realistically believe they can progress in the group, but if they do this is a game they must get something out of. Conversely, Ecuador really ought to be eyeing all three points. I therefore can see plenty of tough tackles, trips, etc., taking this over.

Ivory Coast needed a last-minute goal to get past Ecuador, and this looks a lot tougher. You can't read too much into Germany's 7-1 thrashing of Curaçao, but they are in fine form, winning 10 on the trot and banging in the goals in the process. Although Ivory Coast themselves are in fine form, I think Germany will be too strong.

Felix Nmecha is given the freedom to push forward more for Brazil than his club Dortmund. This was evident in the opener when he fired in four shots, three of which were on target and one resulting in a goal. Ivory Coast will be tougher to break down than Curaçao, but I don't see that stopping Nmecha from getting shots away, so 7.00 looks a bit big.

Ivory Coast picked up three first-half cards against Ecuador but calmed down a tad in the second half, although they appeared to get away with a couple. Germany are bound to put them under plenty of pressure, and Ivory Coast do have a habit of picking up cheap cards by tripping. Germany aren't immune to yellow cards, picking up nine from their six qualification games, so 3+ looks likely.

Montpellier are in fine form, winning 14 of their last 15 games in all competitions. Stade Français were very impressive in the last round, sweeping aside Stade Rochelais 45-5. However, they haven't impressed away from home, losing 9 of their 14 games. Their travel sickness tips this in the favour of Montpellier.

Two very unpredictable sides and you never really know how they'll play on any given day. Castleford have been thumped 72-6 by Warrington, 34-0 by Wakefield, 50-10 by Hull and 50-6 by KR. On the flip side they've beaten Wigan by 10 and St Helens by 20. Toulouse have largely struggled at this level but have won their last two away games and beat Castleford by 12 earlier in the season. They do have tries in them and, against a far-from-solid Castleford defence, can hang in there.

Sweden were dreadful in qualifying, but Graham Potter has gotten a fine tune out of them of late. They won their two qualifying games against Poland and Ukraine, scoring three goals in each. They opened their account at the World Cup with an impressive 5-1 win over Tunisia. They may have been flattered by a poor Tunisia side, but they looked like a side full of goals, with Premier League players Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres posing a serious threat. The Dutch also pose a threat, but their defence looks suspect, so I don't see this being as clear cut as the odds suggest.

Sweden didn't pick up a card in their opener against Tunisia, but it was hardly surprising as they dominated the game. In their previous competitive game against Poland they picked up two. Netherlands, despite their flair, do have a habit of getting cards and received three against Japan. With refs showing more cards in this round and the importance of this game, I like the over.

Armagh really should have beaten Louth last time after dominating the game and losing to a late howler by the keeper. That does, however, highlight their shortcomings: they play well but aren't clinical enough. Kerry are a quality side and look well organised defensively. Armagh should struggle to post a sizeable total against them, so I give Kerry the edge.

Northampton were undoubtedly the stronger side in the regular season, but Exeter are finishing the season well, beating Leicester, Saracens, and a come-from-behind win over Bath to get them here. There has been nothing between them in the meetings this season, with a 33??"33 tie, and they were level again last time until a try a minute from time won it for Northampton. I think this will again be close.

Barbarians have a solid-looking lineup, but it's a big ask to beat South Africa. The Springboks may choose to experiment a tad, trying out new players, but even so they will still be a very strong side. They are unquestionably the top side right now and brushed aside the Barbarians 54??"7 when they last met last year.

De Decker looked like being a real force when winning the 2024 World Grand Prix, but he's clearly regressed since then. His form coming into this isn't great, winning just 4 of his last 15. O'Connor recently reached the final of Players Event 20, and although he lost in the first round of his two subsequent events, he was back on it with a 6-3 win over De Graaf yesterday. He is the more solid, reliable player, so looks the bet.

Bulldogs narrowly beat struggling Eels last week despite having most of the possession and the superior completion rate. That highlights their problems: they get plenty of the ball and use it well, but it doesn't end in tries.

Wests Tigers responded well to their 68-0 loss to Penrith Panthers by beating Gold Coast Titans last time. However, the Titans are struggling badly, so it's best not to read too much into that. Dolphins are on a six-game winning run and have been banging in the tries while remaining solid defensively. They are affected a tad by Origin but still remain the stronger outfit.

Haiti were poor against Scotland but did manage to keep them to one goal. However, I don't see them being as fortunate this time. Brazil had a tough time against Morocco but still managed 12 shots with 5 being on target. They should improve on that output, so winning by three looks doable.
