Over 39.50
Total Games
50 WIN
@-111
Lose
-50
Shang is expected to come through this, but it looks far from straightforward. Botic upset Nakashima in round one, and when he brings his aggressive A game he is a tough man to beat. The pair met in 2024, with the match going the distance and all three sets going to a tiebreak. I'm expecting another close encounter.

@+110
Lose
-50
Hubert Hurkacz had a serve-dominated game against Bergs, with the first two sets going to tiebreaks before Hurkacz eased away. I expect Quinn to make this tough for him again. Quinn had a surprisingly easy win over Griekspoor, and he has a solid all-round game. I can see him hanging in there early and taking this over.

Valentin Vacherot

@-181
Win
28
Vacherot is a player on the rise, winning 17 of his last 22 matches. His defeats were to top players: Rublev, Davidovich-Fokina, Korda, Auger-Aliassime, and Fritz. Rinky Hijikata is solid enough, but Vacherot plays to a high standard these days and is fiendishly difficult to break with his good service action.

20:00 Bayern Munich v Union Saint Gilloise
Bayern Munich
50 WIN
@-833
Win
6
A win would lift USG into the playoffs, but that looks highly unlikely. Bayern are battering sides of late, scoring 71 goals in 18 games in the Bundesliga. At home in the Champions League group stages they are unbeaten in their last 37, winning 35. I just don't see them slipping up.

You have to go back to the Club World Cup in December to find the last time a Bayern game didn't go over 2.5 goals. Since the start of the season, all 32 games in all competitions have gone over 2.5, many quite comfortably.
19:45 Carlisle v York
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-166
Win
30
York thumped Carlisle 5-0 in the reverse fixture and although I'm not expecting a repeat, I do expect goals from York. York have scored in all but two games this season and are averaging 2.5 goals per game. They know they can get at Carlisle, so 2 or 3 goals from them wouldn't be a surprise. On the flip side, they haven't kept an away clean sheet away since August, so a good Carlisle side that have scored in all but one home game should add to the tally
19:45 Watford v Portsmouth
Watford
50 WIN
@-133
Lose
-50
Although they have won 2 of the last three, Portsmouth are still far from convincing. Beating struggling Charlton and hapless Wednesday is nothing to get excited about. Sandwiched between those was a 5-0 thumping by Bristol City. Portsmouth simply struggle for goals, which should be their undoing tonight. Watford lost to promotion-chasing Millwall last time but had won their previous 4. They are strong at home, where they had scored in their previous 10 before that Millwall defeat.
17:45 FK Qarabag v Eintracht Frankfurt

@-175
Win
28
Frankfurt's last three Bundesliga games have been full of goals, with them drawing 3-3 with Bremen and Dortmund and losing 3-2 at Stuttgart. This game looks a likely candidate for another high-scoring match. Qaraba? are just outside the playoffs after a 2-4 home defeat last time to Ajax. I see both sides going for it, with offenses on top.
16:30 Wu Yize v Oliver Lines
Oliver Lines
Win Match

@+200
Lose
-50
Oliver Lines shouldn't fear playing Yize, as he has won both previous meetings. That was at the Northern Ireland Open in 2024, where he won 4-1, and yesterday in the Champions League. He should be confident and, over this short distance, can cause another upset.

Trainer Anthony Honeywell does well in NH Flat races with 24 winners this season. Luna Lux looks a lively contender. She was a €50,000 yearling by Masked Marvel, so looks the most likely on paper.
15:30 Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Pretoria Capitals T20
Sunrisers Eastern Cape
Win Match
50 WIN
@-142
Lose
-50
Sunrisers seem to have Capitals' number, winning both games against them. A large part of that is down to the form of the top order of Bairstow and de Kock. Even if they underperform, there is plenty of batting further down for them to prevail.

Queen Roslyn showed promise on the flat, winning a Class 6 and running solidly in a good handicap at York. This is its first go at handicapping over sticks, and it could well come on a ton, especially at a lenient-looking weight.
09:30 Frances Tiafoe vs Francisco Comesana
Over 39.50
Total Games
50 WIN
@-109
Lose
-50
Tiafoe had a straightforward 3-0 win over Kubler in round one, but this surely won't be as straightforward. Comesana, like many Argentinians, is at his best on clay, but he is no mug on a hard court and should be competitive. Tiafoe doesn't seem at his best right now after sacking his coach last October, so I see Comesana being competitive.
05:00 Emilio Nava vs Cameron Norrie
Over 39.50
Total Games
50 WIN
@-109
Win
46
Norrie seems happy to play all day in order to get the win, and that was the case in his opening game when he beat Bonzi 3-2. Nava also came through 3-2 in his opener. Bonzi is rarely rolled over and has some great shots in his arsenal, so he shouldn't be underestimated. I just don't see this ending quickly.
03:30 Jordan Thompson vs Nuno Borges
Nuno Borges
Win Match
50 WIN
@-200
Win
25
Jordan Thompson isn't fully fit, but that hasn't stopped him from performing at his best on numerous occasions in the past. However, he may struggle to give his best against an opponent he just can't cope with. Borges has won all three meetings between the pair without dropping a set. That includes a 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 win here last year.

Zheng made great strides last year, jumping from the 700s to a ranking of 188. That fine form has continued this year with 7 wins from 8, the last of which was a fine upset win over Korda in round 1. Moutet is vastly more experienced, but he may find this tough to run away with.
01:30 Reilly Opelka vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina
Over 41.50
Total Games
50 WIN
@-113
Win
44
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina is a quality server who is tough to break, but that's even more the case with Opelka. Opelka has one of the most powerful serves in the game and wins 79% of his first serves. This match should be full of tiebreaks.
00:00 Jupiter Links v Los Angeles
Los Angeles
50 WIN
@-161
Win
31
Los Angeles have more accurate drivers that will hit fairways all day long. Not that Jupiter Links are hapless, but the Los Angeles side hit fairways far more reliably. On this course, that looks like a big plus.
00:00 Kamil Majchrzak vs Fabian Marozsan
Over 39.50
Total Games
50 WIN
@+100
Lose
-50
Marozsan is a strong favourite, but I really don't see that much between the pair. Majchrzak doesn't give you many free points, with a solid first and second serve, and generally competes well once in a rally. In the warm-up in Brisbane he beat Altmaier 2-0, including a bagel upset Opelka, and then went down in three to Medvedev. That is solid form, which suggests he keeps this tight.

Borussia Dortmund (AH) 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-128
Lose
-50
Spurs have a flawless home record in the Champions League, winning all three games, scoring 8 and conceding none. That stat, though, hides how disappointing they have been at home in the Premier League this season. They have won just two times at home, with the loss to West Ham at the weekend a particular low. What's more, their discipline was awful, with five players being booked. A quality side like Dortmund should have the nous to win this.
20:00 Wrexham v Leicester
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-142
Win
35
Wrexham always do at home, doing so on all 14 occasions. On the flip side, they have only kept three home clean sheets. They play the BTTS masters Leicester, whose 27 games have ended with both sides scoring 21 times. That includes their last 10, so I expect that trend to continue.
19:45 Alloa v Montrose
Montrose (AH) 0.50
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-113
Lose
-50
Montrose have suffered two cup defeats to higher-league teams in their last two games but played competitively. In terms of their league form, they have taken a big step forward of late, winning 4 of their last 5, including wins over the top two. Alloa are winless in 4 despite playing two of the bottom three. This looks a good time for Montrose to be playing them.
19:45 Boreham Wood v Scunthorpe
Over 2.50

@-149

34
Scunthorpe are in fine form with four wins and a draw from their last five games. They nearly always score on the road, failing to do so just once. Boreham Wood are in even better form with six straight wins, averaging virtually three goals per game in those games. I definitely see goals in this one.
19:45 Charlton v Derby
Derby (AH) 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-105
Win
47
Derby aren't renowned for keeping clean sheets, but they did so away at Preston at the weekend, which was impressive as Preston had scored in seven straight home games. Derby don't usually pepper the goal, but they are clinical, having failed to score just twice this season. That could be crucial against Charlton, who have allowed more goal attempts than any other Championship side.
19:45 Coventry v Millwall
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-109
Win
46
Millwall were impressive last time out in going to Watford, creating many serious chances and coming away with a 2-0 win. I think they have a good chance of scoring against a Coventry side that have conceded in 13 of their last 17. Coventry have wobbled a bit of late, but they have plenty of firepower at their disposal and are easily the top scorers in the league, so I see goals in this one.
19:45 Hartlepool v Gateshead
Hartlepool
50 WIN
@-200
Win
25
Hartlepool are only two points adrift of the play-offs, but they struggle for consistency. However, this looks like a great opportunity for them to pick up three points. Gateshead have lost 10 straight, conceded 29 goals and scored just 5 in those games. Hartlepool really shouldn't slip up in this one.
19:45 Ipswich v Bristol City
Ipswich
50 WIN
@-149
Win
34
After putting five past Portsmouth, Bristol City looked toothless in their next two games, failing to score against Oxford and Preston. What was worrying is that they never had a realistic attempt on goal. Ipswich are looking serious promotion candidates after doing the double over Coventry and winning their last five home games. They are banging in the goals, so I don't see Bristol City getting anything out of this.
19:45 Marine v Radcliffe FC

Marine are a 50-50 over side, but their last three have all gone over 2.5 with 13 goals being scored. Radcliffe are the best overs side in the league, with 21 of their 27 games going over 2.5.
19:45 Preston v Hull
Hull (AH) 0.25
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-109
Win
46
Hull have been adept at winning on the road of late, with 4 wins and a draw from their last 5. Those wins were against tough opponents: Middlesbrough, Southampton, Millwall and Stoke. Preston just can't see off sides at home of late, with one win in 6, which was against basement side Wednesday. Hull have put themselves in the promotion picture with a series of professional performances, and I'm expecting another tonight.
19:45 Sheff Wed v Birmingham

-50
Birmingham are prolific scorers at home but are polar opposites on the road with just 9 goals from 14 games. This game, however, looks different as they play hapless Sheffield Wednesday. Wednesday's small squad well short of Championship level, and with further injuries they could be fielding a very weak side tonight. Birmingham should dominate the game. It should feel more like a home game, so they could find their rhythm and rack up the goals.
19:45 South Shields v Southport
South Shields
50 WIN
@-227
Win
22
Southport's relegation battle had a boost at the weekend when they beat the side above them, Bedford. South Shields away, though, is a big step up. South Shields top the table and have won 5 of their last 6, drawing the other. They should be too strong.
19:45 West Brom v Norwich
Norwich (AH) 0.50
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-117
Win
43
West Brom's spell under new manager Eric Ramsey had a familiar feel to it. The side played well enough but ended up losing. That has been the story far too often, as they are often in games but end up losing. This season, in only one game have they lost by more than one goal. They play a tricky opponent in Norwich, who are unbeaten on the road in four, with two wins and two draws. I can see Norwich getting something out of this.

Goals have never exactly flowed in Yeovil's games, but under new manager Billy Rollins things are looking up, with the last two going over. Goals certainly do flow in Aldershot games, with 20 of their 27 going over 2.5, averaging 2.5 goals per game.

Two of the best 180 hitters around, so hopefully they can put on a show. Van Veen is the sort of player who can shrug off that World Championship loss to Littler. If he can hang in there, this certainly has the ability to go over this line.

After winning their first four home games, Prerov lost their next two. To be fair, they were against the top two sides, Prostejov and SK Slavia Brno (Selmy Brno?). Kralovo have lost six of seven on the road and lost at home to Prerov.

Leung had a fine upset win over Noppert yesterday, but Noppert was way off his best. He averaged just 81, didn't hit a single maximum, and could barely hit a double. Leung won't find Aspinall anywhere near as generous. Aspinall blew aside Illgen 6-1 with a 100 average and, after a while in the doldrums, is playing good darts again.

Michael van Gerwen
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@-149

34
The pair met last week at the Bahrain Masters. Van Gerwen won 6-4, which wasn't a huge surprise as Bunting's form hasn't been that strong of late. Bunting's doubling was poor that day, running at just a 20% success rate. It's hard to shake it off when the doubles aren't flowing, so I think MVG wins again.

Goztepe W

Two struggling sides with just four wins apiece. I think home advantage will be the key to the outcome. Kuzeyboru have lost all seven away games, including to struggling third-bottom Aydin B.?ehir Bld. Goztepe won 3-0 at home last time, so I think they edge this.

Rattling up a 6-timer is incredibly hard to do for a handicap horse, as the handicapper usually hammers them. Aisling Oscar doesn't seem too harshly done by, with it being unpenalized for its comfortable win last time. It's hard to oppose it in this form.

Rory put in a solid effort last time, coming through the field to take third place. The front two have gone on to frank the form since, so that was a solid effort. I'm struggling to see many others in this who look to have wins in them.

@-124
Win

Dimitrov has played just two tournaments since Wimbledon: two games at the Paris Masters and two games recently in Brisbane. He didn't look at his best in losing to Colliton in straight sets and could be rusty in set one against in-form Machá?. Machá? won the title last week in Adelaide, beating some good players. As long as this hasn't come too soon for him, he can grab the first set.

Zizou Bergs
Win Match

@+195
Lose
-50
Hurkacz went half a year without playing before participating in the United Cup. To be fair, he did OK, but it was his powerful serve that got him through. His movement was questionable. Bergs is a quality returner, so he may have some joy on Hurkacz's serve. When in rallies his superior movement will give him the edge, so he appeals at this price.

This will be Monfils' last Australian Open, so he will be giving it his all. However, his form coming into this isn't great and he looks vulnerable to the Australian Sweeny. Sweeny was incredibly busy on hardcourts last year, playing 95 games and winning 70 of them. He started this year well with 5 wins from 6 matches. He is playing to a high enough standard to ensure this is a close game.

Over 42.50
Total Games

@+100
Win
50
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard is one of the biggest servers in the game but also one of the worst returners. That equates to a player who plays an awful lot of tiebreaks. Báez has always struggled on hardcourt but has taken his form on the surface to a new level this year with a 7-1 win-loss record. He beat some good players in doing so, so I see tiebreaks in this one and 4 or 5 sets.
01:30 Joao Fonseca vs Eliot Spizzirri
Eliot Spizzirri

65
Spizzirri is a rising star and has the game to trouble Fonseca. Fonseca hasn't played since October apart from one exhibition match. He is suffering from a long-term back injury, so I have to question what kind of condition he is in. He may be absolutely fine for this, but I have my doubts. Even if 100% fit, Spizzirri still has a good chance of taking the first set against a probably rusty Fonseca.

Northern Districts aren't a bad side. It's just that their batting lineup isn't deep, and they can struggle against good bowling units. They have won half their games, but it's telling that all three wins came against the struggling sides Otago and Canterbury. Central Districts have the momentum of five wins on the trot and have a more solid batting lineup.

Muchova has been plagued by injuries, but when at her best she is quality and could have a good run in the tournament. She has won all three meetings with Cristian in straight sets and has dominated on serve, winning 81% of her first serves. I don't see Cristian being able to claim a set.

Ostapenko is a hugely talented player on her day, as shown by her incredible 6??"0 head-to-head record against ?wi?tek. However, she is one of the most frustrating players around, as she is capable of losing to some of the lowest-ranked opponents. Her form coming into this is poor, with six straight defeats. The worry is that she has been walking off injured of late, so she may not see this match out.

The earlier meeting this season resulted in both teams scoring, as did the two games last season. Bournemouth come into this game with their last six games, plus the FA Cup game, resulting in both teams scoring. Those seven games averaged just under five goals a game, so I see no shortage of goals in this one. Seventy percent of Brighton's home games end with both teams scoring, and 80% of Bournemouth's away games do as well.

Elche have impressed this season, with last week's loss to Villarreal being their first home defeat of the season. Sevilla are just three points away from safety and are missing a couple of key players still at the AFCON. They have lost their last three coming into this, so Elche are the likely winners.

Tien is a rising star in the game who had an impressive 2025. However, he has played an awful lot of tennis and looked off his best at the start of this year.

Felix Auger-Aliassime has a shocking Grand Slam first-round record, losing nearly half his matches. He has played 26 times, losing 12 of them. I think he's in for a tough afternoon against the tricky Borges. Borges pushed FAA to a final set in their only meeting, which was last year, and has the all-round game to take this long.

Kenin is a talented player, but when things aren't going well her game can quickly go off the rails. She goes for too many winners when a more conservative approach is needed. Stearns can also make too many unforced errors, but she is better at adapting her game. When she sees Kenin overhitting, she will have the nous to keep the ball in play and make Kenin play one more shot. I think she wins against a low-confidence Kenin.
