27 December 2025
14:15 2:15 Wetherby
Indian River
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@1.91
Win
45
Kentucky River looks the best of the newcomers after some solid flat performances. Lights Go Down looks a solid enough sort but may be second best to Indian River. It battled well to win on debut and should come on for that win. This looks a good race for the follow-up.
13:00 Racing 92 v Montauban
Racing 92
To Win
50 WIN
@1.02
Win
1
Like many French sides, Racing are vastly superior when playing at home. This is reflected by the fact they have one win from seven away but have won all five home games. Montauban have lost all their away games and conceded a whopping 359 points. This should be one-way traffic.
12:50 Wesley Plaisier vs Krzysztof Ratajski
Under 9.50
Total 180s
50 WIN
@1.61
Lose
-50
It may be a close one and go all the way, but the 180 count may still go under. Neither specializes in maximum hitting, with both averaging under 0.2 per leg. They didn't even manage that in the last round, so I think this goes under.
12:30 Hibernian v Hearts
Draw
50 WIN
@3.40
Lose
-50
This derby is always a close affair, with the last nine ending all square or being settled by one goal. Hearts are the stronger side this season, but Hibs are no mugs and will be giving it their all in front of their fans.
12:30 Nottm Forest v Man City
Over 3.50
Total Cards
50 WIN
@1.95
Win
47
Forest average 1.8 yellows per game, but it's been a bit higher lately under Dyche, with them picking up 4 in their last game. City average 1.6 yellows per game, so this could well creep over. Referee Rob Jones is never afraid to get out the cards, so Over looks the pick.
08:15 Brisbane Heat vs Adelaide Strikers T20
Brisbane Heat
Win Match
50 WIN
@2.00
Win
50
I'm not convinced by Strikers' batting line-up. Short came good last time after a poor first outing. Lynn isn't looking in great form, and I'm not convinced that Sangha has a good knock in him. The likes of Overton, Scott, and Ross can make runs, but realistically they need the top order to fire to win this. Heat are a side that need a flat wicket to excel. They got that against the Scorchers when they incredibly chased down 257. The Brisbane wicket is usually good to bat on, and surely it should be ideal for Heat.
07:00 Dhaka Capitals vs Rajshahi Warriors T20
Rajshahi Warriors
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.80
Lose
-50
Rajshahi Warriors' opening batter mustered just 10 and 20 runs in the opener, but it didn't matter a jot. No. 3 Najmul Hossain Shanto made a fine century, and Mushfiqur Rahim made a 50 to see them over the line. There is more depth further down the batting, so they look a tough side to beat. We are yet to see the Capitals. They were disappointing last season despite looking solid enough on paper. They again look solid enough this season, but it wasn't good enough last season, and I don't think it will be against a side like Rajshahi.
Subtotal-7
26 December 2025
20:00 Alfie Burden v Dominic Dale
Alfie Burden
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.67
Win
34
Burden should be full of confidence after recently sensationally winning the Shoot-Out. This event is obviously a very different format, but it certainly hasn't done him any harm winning that. Dale barely plays these days, not even on the Q Tour. I don't see his standard being high, and Burden should capitalise on Dale's mistakes.
19:00 Matthew Stevens v Anthony Hamilton
Anthony Hamilton
Win Match
50 WIN
@3.20
Lose
-50
Stevens still can play to a solid standard, but Hamilton can be a tricky opponent. His methodical style doesn't suit many opponents, and he is a very solid player when in the balls. I think he will want to make an impression on the seniors tour. He can be frustrating to play against, as he restricts the table time of opponents.
17:30 Sale Sharks v Harlequins
Sale Sharks
To Win
50 WIN
@1.22
Win
11
Both sides have won just twice this season, which includes a win each over hapless Newcastle. Harlequins on the road have been poor, averaging just 11 points per game. Sale are 2 from 3 at home, with their one defeat a narrow 1-point loss to high-flying Exeter. They look strong enough to pull away in this one.
17:30 Scarlets v Ospreys
Scarlets
To Win
50 WIN
@1.44
Lose
-50
After four straight defeats, Scarlets upped their game, beating top-four sides Glasgow and Cardiff. Their performances in those games belied their league position. They have a good opportunity to add another win today against struggling Ospreys. Ospreys sit bottom of the table and should struggle against Scarlets in this form.
17:30 Zambia v Comoros
Under 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@1.50
Win
25
Zambia defended well against Mali, which suggests they look good enough to shut out a pretty weak Comoros side. Comoros offered little against Morocco, going down 2-0. I'd expect them to park the bus in this one and try to hit Zambia on the break. This looks like a low-scoring affair.
16:00 Verona vs Grottazzolina
Verona to win 3-0
Set Score
50 WIN
@1.67
Win
34
Verona went down to Modena in their last home game, but that was their first home defeat of the season. In their previous five home games they had dropped just two sets. Grottazzolina have lost all 12 games and have won just seven sets, so I like the whitewash.
15:40 3:40 Kempton
Onewaywest
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@5.00
Lose
-50
Onewaywest won very cosily last time, making all and never looking like getting beat. This is a slightly tougher race, but it still looks like a race that Onewaywest can win.
15:00 AFC Telford v Chester
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@1.67
Win
34
Two quality both-to-score sides, with Telford having 17 of their 22 end with both teams scoring and Chester having 16 of their 21 going over. Both are capable sides in front of goal, so I'm expecting goals.
15:00 AFC Wimbledon v Stevenage
Stevenage (AH) 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@1.92
Push
0
Wimbledon are in poor form with no wins in seven, including five losses. Stevenage are a solid side with a 50% win rate on the road. I'd expect them to get something out of this.
15:00 Blackpool v Doncaster
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@1.65
Lose
-50
Doncaster have generally struggled for goals on the road, but that wasn't the case last time away at Cardiff. They were holding the leaders at 3-3 until Cardiff got a winner nine minutes into injury time. If they can put three past Cardiff, they should have a chance of scoring against struggling Blackpool. Blackpool are a strong both-to-score side at home, with a 70% success rate. I therefore like the Yes option.
Ashley Fletcher
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@7.50
Lose
-50
Ian Evatt has turned things around at Blackpool, and it's also brought about an upturn in Ashley Fletcher. He has a goal return of 6 goals from his last 5 games in all competitions. With Doncaster struggling for goals on the road, I like his chances.
15:00 Bolton v Rotherham
Bolton
50 WIN
@1.40
Win
20
Bolton haven't lost a home game this season, with an impressive home record of W7 D3 L0. In those 10 games they are averaging 2 goals per game but conceding just 0.5. Rotherham look to have an uphill task in this one, as they have lost their last 3, including losses to strugglers Blackpool and Plymouth.
15:00 Bradford v Wigan
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@1.95
Win
47
Wigan are a tough side to beat on the road of late, remaining unbeaten in their last five. Both teams usually score when they are on the road, with both sides scoring in their last eight. Bradford are a strong home side, but 60% of their home games have ended with both teams finding the net. So I like the Yes option.
15:00 Cardiff v Dragons
Cardiff
To Win
50 WIN
@1.17
Win
9
Dragons got their first win of the season last time when putting up 48 points against Connacht. I don't see them following that up though, as they have been awful on the road, scoring just 21 points across their two games. Cardiff had a shock defeat to Scarlets last time but have generally been strong and should bounce back.
15:00 Cardiff v Exeter
Cardiff
50 WIN
@1.60
Win
30
Exeter have the worst away record in the league with just 6 points and 5 goals from their 10 games. Their lack of goals could be a problem against leaky Cardiff, who have won their last five home games, banging in 16 goals in the process.
15:00 Cheltenham v Shrewsbury
Cheltenham (AH) 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@2.10
Win
55
Shrewsbury haven't won any of their last 6 away games and have claimed just one away win all season. Cheltenham look a bit stronger these days and have won 3 of their last 5 home games. I'd expect them to get something out of this.
15:00 Curzon Ashton v Radcliffe FC
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@1.50
Win
25
Curzon Ashton's last 5 home games have all gone over 2.5 goals. They face a Radcliffe side whose away games have gone over 2.5 goals 9 times from their 10 games. There should be goals in this one.
15:00 Dorking v Horsham
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@1.73
Lose
-50
The side with the best home record plays the side with the best away record, so I can see both scoring. Dorking, despite being strong at home, have seen 7 of their 11 games end with both teams scoring. Eight of Horsham's 12 away games have ended with both teams scoring. Horsham have scored in their last 10 away games, so despite being the outsiders I see both Horsham and Dorking finding the net.
15:00 Egypt v South Africa
Draw
50 WIN
@3.15
Lose
-50
Egypt start as even-money favourites but did not really impress in their opener. They were trailing Zimbabwe for nearly half the game and needed an injury-time goal to get the win. South Africa are unbeaten in 12 and look a hard side to beat. They look well organised and have enough quality to come away with the draw.
Oswin Appollis
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@13.00
Lose
-50
South Africa’s Oswin Appollis was highly influential in qualifying, scoring twice and assisting four times. He carried that momentum in the finals when scoring South Africa’s first goal in their win over Angola. Egypt are obviously a good side, but at odds of 12-1 Appollis appeals.
15:00 Farnborough v Hampton & Richmond
Farnborough
50 WIN
@1.85
Lose
-50
Hampton & Richmond started the season well, but their form has fallen off badly since. They have won just one of their last 16 and have just one point from their last five away games. Farnborough are solid at home, with three wins and a draw from their last four. This looks very winnable for them.
15:00 Gillingham v Cambridge Utd
Draw
50 WIN
@3.10
Win
105
Cambridge are in good form at present, being unbeaten in seven, with four of those ending as draws. Gillingham have drawn five of their last six, so another draw wouldn't surprise.
15:00 Grimsby v Oldham
Michael Mellon
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@9.00
Lose
-50
Grimsby have been wasteful in front of goal of late and lost their last 2 games 2-0. Oldham have the meanest defence in the league, so Grimsby may struggle to break them down. Oldham aren't prolific scorers, but striker Melloon could hardly be in better form coming into this. He scored a perfect hat-trick last time and has now got a third of Oldham's goals.
15:00 Hartlepool v Scunthorpe
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@1.62
Win
31
Scunthorpe are a great both-to-score side, particularly on the road, with 9 of their 11 ending with both scoring. Hartlepool's home games are 50/50 for both scoring, but 3 of their last 4 have seen both score. So, with that in mind and Scunthorpe's record, I like the Yes option.
15:00 Huddersfield v Port Vale
Huddersfield
50 WIN
@1.80
Win
40
Huddersfield are solid at home with a record of W5 D3 L2. A game against bottom-side Port Vale looks a good opportunity to improve on that record. Port Vale sit bottom with just 15 points and lost to fellow relegation strugglers Peterborough last time. The board seem reluctant to sack Darren Moore, so as long as he sticks around they are a side to bet against.
15:00 Leicester v Watford
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@1.75
Win
38
Watford have been a good BTTS side on the road of late, with their last five games ending with both teams scoring. Leicester have been erratic recently, but both sides have scored in their last five games. There were 22 goals in those games, so I can see both teams scoring in this one.
15:00 Luton v Wycombe
Draw
50 WIN
@3.50
Lose
-50
Luton have drawn 3 of their last 4 games and 3 of their last 4 home games. They face Wycombe, who have drawn 4 straight on the road. Another draw wouldn't surprise.
15:00 Macclesfield FC v Buxton
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@1.62
Lose
-50
Macclesfield have had 10 games go over and 9 under, so it's Buxton who make this bet appealing. Buxton have played 10 away games and 9 of them have gone over 2.5 goals. I'm therefore expecting goals in this one.
15:00 Milton Keynes Dons v Swindon
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@1.80
Lose
-50
The two best sides for overs in the league meet. Both have an identical record of 2/3 of their games going over 2.5 goals. On the evidence so far, the 1.8 looks a bit longer odds than what could have been expected.
15:00 Norwich v Charlton
Norwich
50 WIN
@2.05
Win
52
Norwich were awful under Liam Manning at home, losing their first seven home games. However, things have turned around since, with them recording two wins and a draw. The last win over in-form Southampton was particularly impressive. Charlton were in wretched form, losing five on the trot and leaking plenty of goals in the process. They've steadied the ship of late with a draw and a win. However, I think improving Norwich should have enough.
15:00 Peterborough v Leyton Orient
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@1.80
Lose
-50
Peterborough are a solid overs side, with 12 of their 20 games going over. They aren't as good as Leyton Orient, though, who have one more over game and an 80% success rate on the road.
15:00 Portsmouth v QPR
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@1.73
Win
37
QPR are playing well at home, winning four on the trot, culminating with a 4-1 thrashing of Leicester last time. However, they can't transfer that form to away games, losing their last two 3-1. Portsmouth have struggled this season, but there have been some signs of life of late, drawing 1-1 at Derby last time and beating Blackburn 2-1 before that. With QPR struggling for clean sheets on the road, I see both teams scoring.
15:00 Sutton Utd v Aldershot
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@1.50
Lose
-50
Sutton are a good overs side at home, with only 3 of their 11 games failing to go over and an average of 3.5 goals per game. Aldershot are one of the best overs sides in the league, with just 6 games failing to go over. This looks like an overs game.
15:00 York v Boston Utd
York (AH) -1.75
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@1.95
Lose
-50
Boston have been York's bogey team, winning both games last season and five of the last six meetings. I really don't see the same happening this season, though. York are more savvy now and have been rattling in the goals at home. In their last five home games they have scored at least four goals in all of them. I think they put last season's hiccups behind them and will record a comfortable win.
14:30 Sharjah Warriorz vs Desert Vipers T20
Desert Vipers
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.57
Win
28
Sharjah Warriors can look impressive at times, but they are an unreliable side, which makes them swerve-worthy in this one. Desert Vipers have plenty of momentum coming into this, with very few weaknesses in their lineup. Even if a couple of players underperform, they have enough depth to come out on top.
14:00 Ken Doherty v Jimmy White
Ken Doherty
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.80
Lose
-50
White misses too many chances when in the balls these days, which clearly frustrates him. His chances may be at a premium today against Doherty, who still possesses a good safety game. White probably won't get that many chances, so this looks tricky for him.
13:55 1:55 Kempton
Sir Gino
Daily Racing
50 WINNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 1.57 used instead of 1.57 takenBOG
@1.57
Win
28
It was thought unlikely that Sir Gino would ever see a racecourse again after a leg wound became infected earlier this year. I assume all is well, and it looks to have a good opportunity today to improve on its already impressive record of 5 from 5.
13:45 Noakhali Express vs Chattogram Royals T20
Chattogram Royals
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.91
Win
46
Noakhali Express are a new side and may not hit the ground running. They have plenty of talented players but not the most reliable ones. Chattogram look a solid all-round side, so Noakhali will have to play some impressive cricket to beat them.
13:35 1:35 Wetherby
Konfusion
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@2.00
Win
50
Konfusion powered clear last time in the closing stages to win by 15 lengths. It has a 10 lb rise for that, but it's hard to see that stopping it after that dominant win against solid opposition.
13:00 Ebbsfleet United v Tonbridge Angels
Tonbridge Angels
50 WIN
@5.50
Lose
-50
Tonbridge's style of play makes them more suited to playing away, which shows in their results. They've won just once at home, but on the road they have won five times. They've won their last two away matches, including a fine win at promotion-chasing Torquay last time. Ebbsfleet have lost their last two home games, so I wouldn't trust them at such short odds.
13:00 Millwall v Ipswich
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@1.95
Lose
-50
Ipswich aren't nearly as strong on the road, with them keeping just one clean sheet. However, they usually score, which is shown in the stat that 80% of their away games have resulted in both teams scoring. Millwall haven't been a good BTTS side, but three of their last four home games have ended with both teams scoring. This game looks like there will be goals in it.
13:00 Oxford City v Merthyr Town
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@1.53
Win
26
Oxford City are a good overs side when at home, with 9 of their 12 games going over. On the road, Merthyr are one of the best overs sides, with 9 of their 11 going over and an average of 4.3 goals per game. I therefore like the over.
13:00 Stuart Bingham v Joe Perry
Stuart Bingham
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.30
Lose
-50
Perry has barely picked up a cue this year and may be a little rusty. Even at his best, it would be hard to see him beating Bingham, who is playing far superior snooker.
12:40 Cyclo Cross WC Gavere Women 2025
Lucinda Brand
Win Outright
50 WIN
@1.36
Win
18
Lucinda Brand looks virtually unbeatable at the moment, winning her last nine races. Barring a serious mechanical, it's hard to see the field getting the better of her.
12:30 Angola v Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe
50 WIN
@5.75
Lose
-50
Zimbabwe were leading Egypt for around half the game, and only an injury-time goal deprived them of a point. Angola performed well enough against South Africa and also went down 2-1. There simply doesn't look that much between the sides, so Zimbabwe at 5.75 is the more appealing price.
12:00 Eastbourne Borough v Worthing
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@1.60
Win
30
Two of the best overs sides meet. Both have identical records: 14 of their 22 games have gone over 2.5 goals. The only difference is that Worthing score far more and Eastbourne concede far more. Although I expect Worthing to score most of the goals, Eastbourne can certainly chip in, as they are averaging over a goal per game.
10:15 Perth Scorchers vs Hobart Hurricanes T20
Hobart Hurricanes
Win Match
50 WIN
@2.15
Win
57
Hurricanes are looking a good side this season. Jordan has been one of the top bowlers in the Big Bash, and the batting looks full of runs even if Mitch Owen hasn't found his stride yet. The jury's out on the Scorchers after failing to defend 257 last time against the Heat.
C Connolly (Perth Scorchers)
Top Team1 Batsman
50 WIN
@4.00
Lose
-50
Connolly rarely gives his wicket away cheaply. In his two games so far he has knocks of 59 and 77. I'm expecting another good knock from him.
N Chaudhary (Hobart Hurricanes)
Top Team2 Batsman
50 WIN
@4.33
Lose
-50
Chaudhary put up a fine 79 against the Renegades last time after a solid knock of 41 in his first game. There are a few good batters who could take this, but Chaudhary is looking the most consistent at the moment.
