20:00 Raymond van Barneveld vs Stefan Bellmont
Over 3.50
Total Sets
50 WIN
@1.40
Lose
-50
We saw Bellmont at the Grand Slam where he put in a dogged performance in beating Wade and taking Ricky Evans to a last-leg decider. If he brings that level, he should at least take a set off Barney.
16:30 Norwid Czestochowa vs Kedzierzyn Kozle
Kedzierzyn Kozle
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.62
Lose
-50
Norwid Czestochowa have lost 10 of their 11 games, with their one win being via a final set against struggling Slepsk. Kedzierzyn Kozle are just one place outside the playoffs, so will be keen to get the win. They have been a tad inconsistent, but they have won away at a good Rzeszów side, which shows their ability. The two times this fixture has been played resulted in 3-0 wins for Kedzierzyn.
16:00 Pirin Razlog vs Cherno More
Pirin Razlog
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.33
Win
17
Pirin may be in the bottom five, but that is down to their away form. At home they have won 4 of 5. Cherno More have lost 7 of their 8 games. I don't see an upset in this one.

Contacto
Daily Racing

@9.00
Lose
-50
I'm not convinced by the authenticity of Loustic Du Chatel's win, as I think it was flattered by the result. Kadastral looks useful but is no sort of price. The other rivals to Contacto look very ordinary. Contacto was a capable flat runner, having run in some decent handicaps. If it displays even average hurdling form, it should run into a place at least.
10:00 AI Peppers Gwangju W vs IBK Altos W
IBK Altos W
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.67
Win
34
IBK's four-game winning run came to an end last time, but it was a gallant 3-2 defeat to leaders Expressway. Peppers are sliding down the league with six straight defeats. IBK clearly bring the stronger current form.
08:15 Sydney Sixers vs Adelaide Strikers T20
Sydney Sixers
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.73
Lose
-50
Strikers have some exciting batters at the top of the order like Lynn and Short, but I'm not sure they have much depth to the batting. Their bowling attack doesn't really excite either. Sixers lost their opener, but it was reduced to 11 overs, which can be a bit of a lottery, and their top order lost wickets cheaply by being too adventurous. I think they will be a lot stronger this time and get the win.

21:30 Suzano Volei vs Goias Volei
Goias Volei
Win Match
50 WIN
@2.62
Win
81
Suzano Volei have one fewer win than Goias, having won 4 of their 9 games. The games they have won have been against some of the weakest sides in the league. The best team they have beaten were 5th-bottom Sesi, with the other three wins all being against the three sides in the bottom three. Goias have also mostly feasted on the weaker sides, but they did have an upset win at leaders Volei Renata, inflicting the only defeat on them. If they can bring that level, they can win.
19:45 Scarborough Athletic v Radcliffe FC
Scarborough Athletic (AH) 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@1.80
Lose
-50
Scarborough aren't in the best of form, but they are still one of the strongest home sides in the league, with only South Shields picking up more points having played one game more. Their home record stands at W6 D2 L1. Radcliffe are in a mini slump with no wins in five. Their last two away games were poor losses to strugglers Southport (2-0) and Peterborough Sports (3-0).
19:45 Truro City v Wealdstone
Wealdstone (AH) 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@1.80
Lose
-50
Truro sit bottom with 15 defeats from their 21 games. They've lost their last five coming into this, so I don't see them winning this. Wealdstone have just one defeat in their last 10, which was to a quality York side. Wealdstone should get something out of this, and I suspect it will be the win.
19:00 Ricardo Pietreczko vs Jose De Sousa
Ricardo Pietreczko
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@1.73
Win
37
Ricardo Pietreczko never really looks that impressive. He doesn't bang in many 180s, and his averages are nothing out of the ordinary, but he has a knack for winning the important legs and is a tricky man to beat. De Sousa is plummeting down the rankings and just doesn't have the game these days to trouble a solid player like Pietreczko.
15:00 3:00 Wincanton
Apples Moon
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@4.33
Win
166
Apples Moon barely runs a bad race and won nicely on its comeback run last month. That was a similar-quality race where it went away from the others after the last. I think there is more to come and it can win again.
14:30 Scott Williams vs Paolo Nebrida
Scott Williams
Most 180s
50 WIN
@1.44
Win
22
Scott Williams is a great talent, but we don't see it as often as we should. However, when in full flow, he is a joy to watch and can rack up plenty of maximums. I think the main stage will bring out the best in him and he'll win this match-up.
13:30 Nick Kenny vs Justin Hood
Over 4.50
Total Sets
50 WIN
@2.75
Lose
-50
Kenny is the more experienced and higher-ranked player. However, Hood has been playing some solid darts and his 91.36 average is a point higher than Kenny's. I think this could go either way and should be close.
08:10 Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Thunder T20
Hobart Hurricanes
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.60
Win
30
Hurricanes bat hard and bat deep and should be capable of posting a sizable total on the wicket. Thunder's most reliable batter, Warner, is out with injury. This looks a tough ask for Thunder to keep up with the Hurricanes.

13:30 Cameron Menzies vs Charlie Manby
Charlie Manby
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@2.50
Win
75
Menzies is a quality player, but he has been frustrating. He has too many losses to players he should beat, for my liking. He plays a dangerous youngster in Manby. Charlie Manby has been making waves on the Modus Tour and earlier this year produced an astonishing 130 average on the PDC Development Tour. I don't think the main stage will phase him, so I like the upset.

Brisbane Heat
Win Match

@1.95

-50
Renegades have six players missing for the opener, which obviously will impact them greatly. Heat look a solid all-round side and should be able to get the better of a weakened Renegades side.

22:45 Grant Thornton Invitational
Gotterup/Kupcho
25 EW
@13.00
Win
35
Chris Gotterup has barely had a bad event this year, with a series of good efforts. The highlight was his win at the Scottish Open in July, where he finished two shots clear of McIlroy. It's important to have a solid female partner for this, and Gotterup has that in Kupcho. Kupcho has three single wins on the LPGA Tour as well as a doubles win. I think these two will gel well and should impress this weekend.
22:00 James Hurrell vs Stowe Buntz
James Hurrell
Most 180s
50 WIN
@1.40
Win
20
Stowe Buntz once reached the Grand Slam quarter-finals, which was the highlight of his career, but he's done precious little since. He averages around 83, which is largely due to his scoring. He hits a 180 on average every 10 legs, which won't cut it against Hurrell, who hits one every 4 legs.
21:25 CAR Panthers @ NO Saints
CAR Panthers
Money Line
50 WIN
@1.67
Lose
-50
Saints are a poor side with just three wins and the lowest points tally in the National League. Panthers are doing OK this season, winning 7 of their 13 games. They have beaten quality sides like the Rams and the Packers, and with a week's rest should be ready for this.
21:25 IND Colts @ SEA Seahawks
SEA Seahawks -13.50
Point Spread
50 WIN
@1.91
Lose
-50
Colts have QB Daniel Jones out for the season, which leaves them with a major problem. It means that Philip Rivers will probably start. The problem is he hasn't played since 2020 and is now 44 years old. I therefore see them struggling against a quality Seahawks side.
21:25 TEN Titans @ SF 49ers
George Kittle (SF 49ers)
Anytime Touchdown Scorer
50 WIN
@2.30
Win
65
Titans are leaking touchdowns to tight ends of late, conceding three over their last two games. That makes George Kittle of interest. He has five touchdowns in his eight starts, and in a game the 49ers should dominate he should get chances today.
21:00 Stephen Bunting vs Sebastian Bialecki
Stephen Bunting to win 3-1
Leg Betting
50 WIN
@3.40
Lose
-50
Bunting has a far superior A game to Bialecki, and if at his best would wrap this up 3-0. However, he isn't at his best after putting in a series of lackluster efforts. Bialecki is struggling with just one win from his last 10 games. However, that win was over Cross at the Players Finals, so I think he can grab a set against Bunting, who has been unreliable on his doubles of late.
20:00 Dimitri van den Bergh vs Darren Beveridge
Dimitri van den Bergh
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@2.05
Lose
-50
Dimitri has had a horrid season and surely will want to salvage something from this year with a good run here. At least he had a decent run in the Players event, coming into this, going through four rounds before going down 6-4 to Dobey. Beveridge has exited in the first round in his last four events and has little experience on the main stage. This looks like a good opportunity for Dimitri to get going again.
19:00 Lukas Wenig vs Wesley Plaisier
Over 4.50
Total Sets
50 WIN
@2.75
Lose
-50
I wouldn't like to pick a winner between these two. There is little between the pair on form and averages, so this looks like a game that could go all the way.
18:00 BAL Ravens @ CIN Bengals
CIN Bengals
Money Line
50 WIN
@2.40
Lose
-50
Bengals won 32-14 against the Ravens away just two weeks ago, and there was no fluke about it. Ravens don't seem as strong as the bookies seem to think they are and come into this having lost their last two. I think the Ravens' defence looks vulnerable, and a good Bengals offense can cause them problems.
Mitchell Tinsley (CIN Bengals)
Anytime Touchdown Scorer
50 WIN
@4.25
Lose
-50
With Bengals' main target and touchdown scorer Tee Higgins out again due to concussion protocol, the Bengals need to look elsewhere for touchdowns. Higgins also missed the game against the Ravens two matches ago, and it was noticeable that Tinsley had a large share of targets. Although it didn't produce a touchdown, the wide receiver should be targeted again this weekend and may get a touchdown this time.
18:00 BUF Bills @ NE Patriots
NE Patriots
Money Line
50 WIN
@2.05
Lose
-50
The best two sides in the East Division meet, but I favour the hosts. As good as the Bills are, their road form is pretty average with 3 defeats from 6. The sides they lost to were the Falcons, Texans, and Dolphins, all of whom are nowhere near as strong as the Patriots.
18:00 WAS Commanders @ NY Giants
NY Giants
Money Line
50 WIN
@1.70
Lose
-50
Two sides who simply can't buy a win at the moment. The Giants are on a seven-game losing run while the Commanders have lost eight. The determining factor should be home-field advantage for the Giants. The Commanders have lost six of their seven away games, while the Giants are W2 L3 at home.
16:30 Brentford v Leeds
Brentford
50 WIN
@2.00
Lose
-50
Brentford have been dreadful on the road, losing 7 of their 8 games. However, at home they are a completely different side, winning 5 of their 7 games. Leeds have lost 6 of their 7 away games, so this looks very winnable for the hosts.
Igor Thiago
Anytime Goalscorer
50 WIN
@2.30
Lose
-50
Only Haaland has scored more goals than Thiago this season. He has 11 goals this season and scored two in his last two home games. Leeds have conceded 18 goals on the road this season, so I like his chances.
15:45 Alfred Dunhill Championship
Casey Jarvis
25 EW
@34.00
Lose
-50
Casey Jarvis has been impressive of late on the Sunshine Tour in South Africa. In his last three starts he has finished 10th, 1st and 1st. He knows this course well, as it's just a few miles down the road from him. So, with his current good form and course knowledge, I'm expecting a big performance.
Daniel van Tonder
25 EW
@41.00
Lose
-50
Daniel van Tonder seems to save his best for events in South Africa, and this is a course where he has performed well. Back in May he finished 2nd on the Sunshine Tour at the Waterfall City Tournament of Champions at this very course. I expect him to outperform his odds.
Dean Burmester
25 EW
@17.00
Lose
-50
This is not a challenging course, and the emphasis will be on long hitting and good putting. Burmester can out-hit anyone in this field, and although his putting can be erratic on some days, it can be solid on others. South Africans have won 10 of the last 12 times here, so I like his chances.
Kieran Vincent
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@51.00
Lose
-50
Zimbabwean Kieran Vincent should have good memories of this venue, as he won here on the Sunshine Tour in May. The highlight was a stunning 61 on day three, which enabled him to ultimately win by four strokes. He's had his ups and downs since, but it's clear that on a good day he can challenge for the win.
Angel Ayora
Top European
25 EW
@7.50
Lose
-50
It's difficult to see Ayora not finishing in the top 5 Europeans given his current form. In his last seven finishes he has recorded six top-10s. If he brings that level this weekend, he should be challenging for the top European.
Dan Bradbury
Top GB and Ireland
50 WIN
@6.50
Lose
-50
Dan Bradbury is a two-time DP World Tour winner who seems to thrive in South Africa, with many of his best performances coming here. He comes into this in good form after a T2 at the Nedbank Golf Challenge last week, just one shot off the winner. The sparse GB and Ireland field isn't particularly strong, so I like his chances.
He comes into the week in great form after a T2 at the Nedbank last time out, which was statistically the second-best result of his career.
15:15 Toulon v Bath
Bath
To Win
50 WIN
@1.91
Lose
-50
Bath are in fine form, sitting top of the Premiership and top of the European Champions Cup table after thrashing Munster in their opener. Toulon were odds-on favourites to win at Edinburgh but lost by 13. Bath have shown that they can win on the road against good sides when they beat Saracens in their last away game.
14:10 Mathieu van der Poel vs The Field
The Field
Matchups
50 WIN
@4.33
Lose
-50
Mathieu van der Poel is obviously the class in the field and even if a bit below par should still win. However, he hasn't raced this season so could be a bit rusty. With mechanicals also being a potential problem, the price on the field is tempting at 4.33.
14:00 Crystal Palace v Man City
Draw
50 WIN
@3.90
Lose
-50
Crystal Palace are a tough nut to crack this season with just 3 defeats from their 15 games. Man City have won just three times on the road, and the way Fulham came back to lose 5-4 last time shows frailties in defence. Palace look strong enough to get a draw out of this.
14:00 Nottm Forest v Tottenham
Xavi Simons
Anytime Goalscorer
50 WIN
@6.00
Lose
-50
Simons has taken his time to settle in at Spurs, but he seems to be in full swing now. After two fine games in which he scored a goal in each, he should keep his place in the starting lineup. His skills are unquestionable. Now that he looks settled, I expect him to push forward, so he looks a good anytime-to-score prospect.
Cristian Romero
Player to be Booked
50 WIN
@3.00
Lose
-50
After serving a one-match ban for picking up too many yellows, Romero duly got himself booked in the next two Premiership games. That is now four Premiership bookings on the trot. He just can't seem to help himself, picking up cards for a variety of reasons.
Over 10.50
Total Corners

@1.90
Lose
-50
Spurs games are a solid side for corners with an average of 11 corners per game. Five of Forest's seven home games have gone over this line, so I like the over.
14:00 Sunderland v Newcastle
Sunderland (AH) 0.25
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@1.98
Win
49
Newcastle had an impressive 4-1 win at Everton last time, but that was their first away win of the season, and they may struggle to back that up against a tricky Sunderland side. Sunderland are unbeaten at home, with even Arsenal failing to win there, so I think they will get something out of this.
14:00 West Ham v Aston Villa
Draw
50 WIN
@3.60
Lose
-50
Aston Villa sit third after five wins on the trot. They just don't seem to know how to lose, as even when out-played and 2-0 down to Brighton they came back to win. Last time against Arsenal they left it late but grabbed a winner five minutes into injury time. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they won again, but it may not be that straightforward. West Ham are clearly playing better of late, with just one defeat in six. They have some fight about them these days and can grab a draw.

13:30 Dom Taylor vs Oskar Lukasiak
Draw
Most 180s
50 WIN
@4.50
Win
175
Taylor is clearly the stronger player, but he isn't a big 180 hitter. In fact, both have the same 180 average for the season at just 0.14. I don't expect many maximums in this, so the draw is appealing at 4.5.
13:00 Harlequins v Bayonne
Harlequins -19.50
Handicap
50 WIN
@1.83
Win
41
Many French sides name a much-weakened side when playing abroad, and I expect Bayonne to follow suit. Harlequins didn't name a full-strength side away at Leinster last time but were still dangerous going forward. Against a Bayonne side that are poor travelers anyway, I can see Harlequins winning very easily.
12:30 Ritchie Edhouse vs Jonny Tata
Jonny Tata
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@3.50
Win
125
If this was last year I'd expect Edhouse to win at a canter. He was in good form last year, including winning the title at the European Championship. However, his form this year hasn't been anywhere near as impressive. Tata's last four games on the main stage were against Ross Smith, Price, Humphries, and Littler. He did lose all four, but he was competitive in each, with his biggest defeat being 6-3. He looks capable of causing an upset.
08:10 Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Sixers T20
Sydney Sixers
Win Match
50 WIN
@2.35
Lose
-50
Two quality sides that could go deep into the tournament. However, both have players missing for this one, so aren't at full strength. It looks a bit of a coin toss, with Chasers dominating here, so the value is with the outsiders.

15:00 Birmingham v Charlton
Birmingham
50 WIN
@1.60
Lose
-50
Birmingham really ought to win this well on current form. They have won their last four home games, scoring 14 goals in the process. Charlton have lost their last five games, which included 5-1, 3-1 and 3-0 defeats. Birmingham should have too much firepower.
15:00 Cardiff v Doncaster
Cardiff
50 WIN
@1.80
Win
40
Cardiff top the table and have won their last 4 home games, scoring an average of 3 goals in those 4 games. Doncaster have scored just 5 goals on the road this season. I don't see them being able to keep up with free-scoring Cardiff.
15:00 Chesterfield v Barnet
Chesterfield (AH) 0.25
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@1.80
Win
40
Chesterfield lost at home to Swindon last time, but that was their first home defeat of the season. Barnet thrashed a poor Bristol Rovers side 4-0 last time, but that was their first win in seven. With a 0.25 start, Chesterfield look the bet.
15:00 Dumbarton v East Kilbride
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@1.57
Lose
-50
Dumbarton are the best side in the country for both to score, with just one game all season not ending with both sides scoring. East Kilbride are having a great season at this level, but they usually concede on the road, with six of their eight games ending with both teams scoring. I think both will score.
15:00 Edinburgh City v Clyde
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@1.57
Win
28
At home, Edinburgh City have a 100% record for both teams scoring. They could easily add to that against Clyde, whose seven away games have ended with both teams scoring on five occasions.
15:00 Grimsby v Notts County
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@1.65
Lose
-50
Two solid sides in the both-to-score market, with Grimsby's record standing at 12 from 19 ending Yes and Notts County 13 from 19. Five of Grimsby's last six games have seen both sides score, so I like the Yes option.
15:00 Leicester v Ipswich
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@1.85
Win
43
Leicester were struggling for goals earlier in the season, but they have improved with seven goals over their last three games, so I think they will score in this one. Ipswich are in good form, but they do concede plenty on the road, with seven of their nine games ending with both teams scoring.
15:00 Liverpool v Brighton
Draw
50 WIN
@4.20
Lose
-50
Liverpool haven't done anything of late to justify their odds-on price. From their last 10 Premier League games they have won just twice, losing six. Brighton will probably be playing on the back foot, but they are adept at doing so. Brighton have lost just once this season when enjoying less possession. They always create chances and can get something from this fragile Liverpool defence.
15:00 Luton v Port Vale
Luton
50 WIN
@1.80
Lose
-50
Darren Moore is still in charge of bottom-side Port Vale when managers of teams that have been doing better have lost their jobs. To be fair, he did well last season, but the team seem out of their depth this season. Luton have lacked consistency this season but have a bit of quality about them and look up to heaping more misery on Port Vale fans.
15:00 Newport County v Fleetwood Town
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@1.67
Lose
-50
New Newport manager Christian Fuchs has halted Newport's run of losses with 2-2 draws against Crewe and Barrow. They are still leaking goals, but at least they are scoring. Fleetwood are the best "both to score" side in the league, with 15 of their 19 games ending with both teams scoring. This looks like a good "both to score" bet.
15:00 Peterhead v Kelty Hearts
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@1.75
Win
38
The two leakiest defenses on show here, with Peterhead conceding 31 and Kelty 34. As a result, these are the two best overs sides in the league. Only three of Peterhead's games have gone over, and only four of Kelty's. So I like the over.
15:00 Raith v Ross County
Raith
50 WIN
@2.18
Win
59
You would expect a side sitting bottom of the table to have started as the outsider in the vast majority of the games. That hasn't been the case with Ross who, despite their poor form, have only been the outsider in just four league games this season. I think the bookies have finally realised that they aren't very strong, as they start as outsiders in this one. Raith are pretty ordinary, but at odds-against look the value against an underperforming Ross side.
15:00 Tranmere v Crewe
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@1.73
Win
37
Two good both-to-score sides clash. Six of Tranmere's home games have ended with both teams scoring, and six of nine of Crewe's away games have ended with both teams scoring. Yes looks the most likely outcome.
12:30 Bristol Rovers v Swindon
Swindon (AH) -0.25
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@2.02
Win
51
Bristol Rovers have suffered nine consecutive losses in a row, the worst run in the club's history. Despite that, Darrell Clarke is still in charge, but surely his days are numbered. Despite his motivation to keep his job, the team seem unable to do anything about the slide. They haven't scored in six of those games and conceded four goals in four of them. Swindon are a strong side and have won five of their nine away games. They should be looking for all three points.
12:30 Huddersfield v Wigan
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@1.91
Win
46
Huddersfield are a strong both-to-score side, with 12 of their 19 games ending with both teams scoring. Wigan are a strong BTTS side on the road, with 7 of their 9 away games ending that way.
12:30 Norwich v Southampton
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@1.57
Win
28
Norwich were hapless at home, losing their first five games. New manager Philippe Clément has turned things around. They drew one game 1-1 and then won the next 3-1. With their improved form, I see them scoring. Southampton are in great form, winning six of their last seven. They averaged three goals per game over those seven games but kept only one clean sheet. I think both teams will score.

Hansard
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@1.29

It may be tricky with all three runners being from the same stable, but Hansard looks the clear form pick. He was a fine hurdler but was a slightly disappointing fourth on chase debut. He looks a level above his stablemates.

Perth Scorchers W
Win Match

-50
Hurricanes have been the dominant side, but they did lose back-to-back games against the Stars and the Sixers, so they aren't invincible. The Hurricanes are on a roll with four wins in a row and some powerful batting. They have the momentum and can beat the favourites.
