20:00 Bodo/Glimt v Inter Milan
Bodo/Glimt (AH) 0.75
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@+100
Win
50
Qualification for the knockouts looked impossible after five games for Bodø/Glimt, with them sitting on just two points and the only games remaining being away at Atlético and Dortmund and at home to Man City. Realistically they needed at least seven points from those games, and that's exactly what they got by shocking Man City and Atlético Madrid. They are clearly not a side to underestimate, especially when playing in the Arctic Circle. This looks far from straightforward for Inter.
20:00 Olympiacos v Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen (AH) 0.25
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-128
Open
0
I like Leverkusen with a start in this one. Admittedly Olympiacos won 2-0 in the group stages, but it was a game Leverkusen dominated. They had 72%, 17 shots to 6 and 5 big chances as opposed to 2. Olympiacos scored from both attempts at goal, and I don't see them being as fortunate this time. Leverkusen also bring fine form into this, winning 4 of their last 5.
20:00 Wolverhampton v Arsenal
Arsenal
50 WIN
@-333
Open
0
Wolves did manage a 0-0 with Notts Forest last time, but this is a step up. Wolves have just 16 goals from 26 games this season, and Arsenal have an impressive 13 clean sheets. Arsenal have won the last nine meetings with Wolves, and with Wolves playing worse than in the previous nine games, I only see one winner.
Over 9.00
Total Corners
50 WIN
@-124
Open
0
Arsenal's last four away games have all gone over this line, and I think reaching at least nine looks doable. Three times Arsenal have reached double-figure corners on the road, so it's possible they breach this line by themselves. Wolves aren't big corner winners, but they have been averaging over four in their last five home games, which could well be enough to take this over.
19:45 Grimsby v Walsall
Grimsby
50 WIN
@-109
Lose
-50
Grimsby have been impressive of late, with an unbeaten run of nine, including eight clean sheets. Scoring one could well be enough tonight against out-of-form Walsall, who have failed to score in three of their last five.
Grimsby #1-0
50 WIN
@+500
Lose
-50
Grimsby have been rock solid in defence of late, with an impressive eight clean sheets from their last nine. They have been adept at eking out 1-0 wins, with five from their last eight. I think they do the same against out-of-form Walsall.
17:45 FK Qarabag v Newcastle
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-120
Win
41
Newcastle are obviously a far superior side, but I don't see them keeping a clean sheet in this one. Their away form is poor, and they play a side that is strong at home. Qaraba? have exceeded all expectations: first qualifying for the group stages and then qualifying for the knockouts. The main reason for getting this far is their strong home form, with them scoring 2, 2, 2, and 3 goals.
13:00 Shaun Murphy v Zhang Anda
Shaun Murphy
Win Match
50 WIN
@-200
Win
25
These two have met three times recently, with Murphy winning them all. The most recent was at the UK Championship in December, with Murphy winning 6-3. He's shown fine form at the German Masters this year, beating Wilson, Robertson, and Allen. I give him the edge.
12:00 Daniil Medvedev vs Stefanos Tsitsipas
Daniil Medvedev
Win Match
50 WIN
@-277
Lose
-50
After an alarming slide down the rankings, Tsitsipas has rediscovered his form and has been playing better tennis these days. However, he plays Medvedev, who seems to have his number. He holds a 10??"4 head-to-head advantage, has won the last three meetings 2??"0 against him, and seems to instinctively know how to counter Tsitsipas' play.
11:30 Camilla Rosatello vs Mona Barthel
Camilla Rosatello
1st Set Winner
50 WIN
@+290
Lose
-50
Barthel was once ranked number 23 in the world, but that was back in 2015. Nowadays she is ranked 203, just 14 places above Rosatello. She still has a powerful game but looks far too short in the betting. Although she has a decent win/loss ratio this year, she has lost to not-very-strong players like Palicová, Frühvirtová and Kraus. Even in her one match here she lost the first set to world number 318 Lemaitre before winning sets two and three 6-0. I therefore think she is vulnerable in set one to Rosatello, who upset Minnen in the previous round.
09:30 Pakistan vs Namibia World Cup
Namibia
Win Match
50 WIN
@+800
Lose
-50
Pakistan played well against the USA but were dreadful against India and were lucky to get over the line against the Dutch. They are clearly capable of collapsing and are unbackable at these odds. The predicted stodgy wicket should be a leveler, so Namibia look worth a punt at 9.00
05:30 South Africa vs UAE World Cup
UAE
Win Match
50 WIN
@+1400
Lose
-50
South Africa are already qualified, and finishing first or second is irrelevant. Therefore, it would make sense to rest first-team players for bigger games ahead. UAE weren't too bad against New Zealand, beat Canada, and gave Afghanistan a good match. They will be desperate to end on a high and could surprise South Africa if they rest players.

23:00 Victoria W vs Western Australia W One Day Match
Western Australia W
Win Match
50 WIN
@-249
Win
20
It's been an embarrassingly poor campaign for Victoria Women. They have lost all nine games and suffered several thrashings. Their bowling attack simply isn't up to scratch, and they look set for another loss.
20:00 Benfica v Real Madrid
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-175
Lose
-50
The sides met in January in the Champions League, with Benfica winning 4-2. Although we probably won't see that many tonight, I do see both teams scoring. Benfica have scored in every home league game this season and in all but one of their Champions League home games. Real Madrid have failed to score in only two away games this season: at Liverpool in the Champions League and a surprising 0-0 with Rayo Vallecano. I think both will score.
Over 9.00

The sides meet again after the thrilling 4-2 win for Benfica in the league phase. There were 11 corners in that game, and I'm anticipating a similar level tonight. Both are generally big corner winners, so 9.0 looks doable.
20:00 Monaco v PSG
Over 9.00
Total Corners
50 WIN
@-111
Push
0
Monaco are generally big corner winners, even against the better sides, as shown by their 6 corners against Real Madrid. Even though they are playing PSG, I'm still expecting several corners from them tonight. PSG can be big corner winners, so I like the overs.
19:45 AFC Telford v Chorley
AFC Telford & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
@+225
Lose
-50
Telford are in good form, winning 8 of their last 10 games, and have been banging in the goals. Chorley had a fine 3-2 win at Merthyr last time, but that isn't a true reflection of their form. Prior to that they were winless in 11 on the road, so I see Telford winning this. Chorley, though, have scored in 8 of their last 9 away games, so I like Telford, and yes.
19:45 Bromley v Cheltenham
Bromley (AH) -1.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-102
Lose
-50
Cheltenham come into this with just one point from their last five games and are sliding down the table. They now face a daunting trip to leaders Bromley, who are unbeaten at home with nine wins and six draws. I think Bromley will win this and win it well.
19:45 Cambridge Utd v Colchester
Cambridge Utd
50 WIN
@-105
Lose
-50
Cambridge had a rare recent slip-up when losing to bottom side Harrogate, but soon put that behind them when beating Bristol Rovers at the weekend. Colchester have lost 3 of their last 4, so this looks a tough assignment.
19:45 Cardiff v AFC Wimbledon
Cardiff
50 WIN
@-181
Win
28
Leaders Cardiff are very impressive at home with a record of W10 D1 from their last 11. They are averaging 2.37 goals per home match and should have too much firepower for Wimbledon. Cardiff won at Wimbledon earlier in the season and can do the double.
19:45 Chesham v Eastbourne Borough
Chesham
50 WIN
@+110
Win
55
Eastbourne are firmly entrenched in the relegation zone and come into this having lost their last four away games. Chesham are in fine form with four wins and a draw from their last five. This looks winnable for them.
19:45 Chesterfield v Gillingham
Chesterfield
50 WIN
@+120
Win
60
Gillingham don't impress on the road, with their only wins from their last 10 being over basement side Harrogate and struggling Bristol Rovers. Chesterfield are a solid side, one place outside the play-offs, and look too strong for Gillingham.
19:45 Dorking v Hornchurch FC
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-149
Lose
-50
Dorking are in good form at home, winning their last 11 and banging in 27 goals. I'd expect them to get at least a couple in this one. Hornchurch sit third, and their last four games have gone over 2.5, so I see goals in this one.
19:45 Elgin v East Kilbride
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-175
Win
28
Elgin failed to score in their opening home game but have scored in their subsequent nine games. East Kilbride were thrashed 6-0 by Spartans in the recent promotion clash but have shrugged that off by winning their next three games. I see both scoring.
19:45 Halifax v Gateshead
Halifax
50 WIN
@-156
Lose
-50
Gateshead's loss to Brackley at the weekend made it 13 losses on the trot, and it would be a brave man to back them to get anything out of this. Halifax are in the play-offs and have won four home games on the trot. They really ought to pick up all three points.
William Harris
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@+450
Lose
-50
Gateshead are in shocking form and have only two clean sheets all season, so surely Halifax will score tonight. In terms of the first scorer, striker William Harris looks the most likely. He is their top scorer with 16 and has 7 in his last 6 games. That is 7 of the side's last 8 goals.
19:45 Hereford v Darlington
Darlington (AH) 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-121
Lose
-50
This match is priced up as if Hereford are the home side, but that isn't the case. With their pitch once again not being fit for purpose, they will be playing at Worcester. They have lost over half of their games this season and are winless in seven. Darlington don't seem to mind travelling, with seven away wins ??" the fifth-best away record in the league. I just don't see them losing this.
19:45 Leyton Orient v Plymouth
Plymouth (AH) 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-102
Win
49
Plymouth have been erratic all season, pulling off some fine wins mixed in with poor losses. However, they have been more consistent of late, with just two losses from their last nine. Those losses were against top-four side Stockport and Lincoln. Leyton Orient haven't impressed of late, with just two wins from their last 12, which includes seven losses.
19:45 Lincoln City v Northampton
Lincoln City
50 WIN
@-208
Win
24
Northampton have had a poor season but have done better of late, being unbeaten in three. However, they have just three points from their last eight away games, and this looks a tough assignment for them. Lincoln are playing exceptionally well, with only a late Bolton goal depriving them of yet another win. Their last 14 games' form reads W10 D4 L0. They look far too strong for Northampton.
19:45 Milton Keynes Dons v Crawley Town
Milton Keynes Dons
50 WIN
@-163
Lose
-50
Crawley are in wretched form, with just two wins from their last 17. They were against bottom-side Harrogate and fourth-bottom Barrow. MK Dons are in fine form at home, with a record of W8 D3 from their last 11. They should be too strong for Crawley.
19:45 Shrewsbury v Notts County
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-109
Lose
-50
Shrewsbury showed a marked improvement in beating Swindon 3-1 last time. That's now two wins on the trot, and they seem to be going in the right direction. County have only failed to score in two away games this season, so I like the Yes option.
19:45 Stevenage v Port Vale
Stevenage
50 WIN
@-117
Win
43
Stevenage have lost just once at home but they have drawn 6 of their 14 games. However, they have won their last two 1-0, against improving Peterborough and in-form Huddersfield, which is encouraging. Port Vale are playing a bit better after the departure of Darren Moore, but that isn't saying a lot. They are basically a good League Two side, not a League One side, so I think they come away empty-handed.
19:45 Yeovil v Aldershot
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-124
Win
40
Aldershot had a rare under game at the weekend when drawing 1-1 with Tamworth. However, an early sending off for Tamworth and a sending off at half time for Aldershot skewed the result. Overall, 22 of their 30 games have gone over. Yeovil aren't a great over side, but there were five goals when the sides met earlier in the season, so I like the over.
16:30 AC Oulu vs VaLePa
AC Oulu
Win Match
50 WIN
@-124
Win
40
Oulu won 3-0 when the sides met in this fixture in November, and I can see them winning again. They did have a recent poor loss at home to Tikereret but have generally been solid, winning 7 of their 11 games. VaLePa have lost 4 of their last 5 away matches, so I prefer Oulu.
16:30 Alexandra Eala vs Jasmine Paolini
Alexandra Eala
1st Set Winner
50 WIN
@+139
Win
70
Eala has been playing plenty of tennis this year and perhaps overdid it, as she looked off it at the quarter final in Abu Dhabi and the following tournament in Qatar. After a week's rest she looked more like herself when winning the first set against Baptiste before Baptiste retired. Paolini doesn't look at her best right now and looks vulnerable in the first set to a player who will know more about the conditions.
15:00 Ethan Quinn vs Rafael Jodar
Ethan Quinn
Win Match
50 WIN
@+110
Lose
-50
Jodar is a promising youngster, but he has only played five times on the main tour. In his last game he was thoroughly outclassed by Shapovalov 6-1, 2-2, exposing his limitations at this stage of his career. Quinn, although only 22 himself, is far more experienced and has climbed to No. 70 in the world. At this stage of their careers, I have to favour Quinn.
13:30 Scotland vs Nepal World Cup
RD Berrington (Scotland)
Top Team1 Batsman
50 WIN
@+450
Lose
-50
Berrington has had two 40s from his three games, and prior to that he had another 40 when Scotland played Namibia. He looks one of Scotland's more reliable batters, so looks like value at 5.5.
13:00 Neil Robertson v John Higgins
Neil Robertson
Win Match
50 WIN
@-161
Lose
-50
Robertson can be erratic, and he does seem to pick and choose which tournaments he performs in. That makes him a risky proposition, but he has got the better of Higgins of late. He has beaten him in the Champion of Champions and the Masters, and I think he extends that run.
13:00 Wu Yize v Mark Allen
Mark Allen 1.50
Handicap Betting
50 WIN
@-124
Win
40
This looks like a close game that could go either way. Yize comes into this having won four of his last five, but they weren't the toughest of matches. Prior to that, he had lost his last three. Allen has won two of the three meetings against Yize, so with a 1.5 start I prefer Allen.
12:00 Zhizhen Zhang vs Roberto Carballes Baena
Zhizhen Zhang
Win Match
50 WIN
@-124
Win
40
Zhang won their only hard-court meeting in straight sets in 2024 and brings the stronger form of the two. He recently won the final in Brisbane, and as long as that doesn’t take its toll on him, he looks the more likely winner. Roberto Carballés Baena is never at his best on a hard court, so I prefer Zhang.
10:30 Pablo Carreno Busta vs Quentin Halys

41
The pair met at the Indian Wells Masters last year, with Halys winning in straight sets. However, Pablo Carreño Busta was in wretched form at the time, and I'd expect a tighter contest this time. Neither is in great form, but both are solid grinders, so I see this being a tight affair.
10:00 Antonia Ruzic vs Anastasia Zakharova
Antonia Ruzic
Win Match
50 WIN
@-117

43
Ruzic had a fine win over Raducanu yesterday, but to be fair Raducanu was again under the weather, so you can't read too much into that result. However, Ruzic did play well with her service game, particularly impressing. Zakharova has shown little of late to suggest she can win this.

Central Districts look a good side but not as strong as Canterbury. Canterbury have won 7 of their 8 games and beat Central Districts rather cosily when they met earlier in the competition.

Bottom play second bottom, but there seems a gulf between the two. Otago have lost every game, and Auckland beat them by 95 runs when they met earlier in the competition.
20:00 Coventry v Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough (AH) 0.25
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-113
Lose
-50
The top two meet, but there's no question that Middlesbrough are playing better right now. Coventry's earlier-season form, when they were banging in the goals, has long gone. They are looking very ordinary at the moment and toothless up front. Middlesbrough, by contrast, have won six on the trot and should fancy their chances of at least getting a draw.
18:00 Patrick Kypson vs Terence Atmane
Terence Atmane
Win Match
50 WIN
@+110
Win
55
Kypson is favourite for a combination of three reasons: he won their one head-to-head, he is playing at home, and Atmane's form isn't good. However, in terms of talent Atmane is on a different level. He's not the sort of player to sulk about his recent losses and can shake it off. His superior skills should see him through.
13:30 Sri Lanka vs Australia World Cup
Australia
Win Match
50 WIN
@-200
Lose
-50
Sri Lanka have won both games so far. They rather cozily beat Ireland and thrashed Oman. Australia, by contrast, were upset by Zimbabwe in their last game, so look vulnerable. However, the wicket clearly favoured the Zimbabwe spinners, whereas this Pallekele wicket looks more favourable for pace bowlers. There is so much batting quality in the Australian side, with multiple players who can go hard and fast. If the wicket suits, they can win this.
13:00 Katerina Siniakova vs Paula Badosa
Katerina Siniakova
Win Match
50 WIN
@-109
Lose
-50
Siniakova seems to concentrate more on doubles, as she obviously has a better chance of winning titles in that format. However, that should not distract from her ability in singles. She has a good A-game but can be frustrating and can go for too many winners, making the errors pile up. If near her best, she can win this against waning star Badosa, whose slide down the rankings is alarming.
12:00 Valentin Royer vs Pierre Hugues Herbert
Pierre Hugues Herbert
Win Match
50 WIN
@+175
Lose
-50
Pierre-Hugues Herbert loves the fast conditions here and is twice a quarter-finalist. He's come through two rounds of qualifying nicely and will be keen to beat his fellow Frenchman at a venue he likes. Royer climbed to 56 in the world last year but has now slid to 60 after a poor 2026. He's lost all five matches, putting him on an eight-game losing streak. The problem is that he is a good Challenger-level player but not so good on the main tour. Herbert's strong serve will make him tough to break.
11:30 Antonia Ruzic vs Emma Raducanu
Emma Raducanu to win 2 - 0
Set Betting
50 WIN
@-136
Lose
-50
Raducanu is never one I have fully trusted, but she has been more consistent of late. She recently reached the final at the Transylvania Open, where she ran into an inspired Cîrstea. She did retire with high blood pressure due to an infection last time at the Qatar Open but should be over that. Ruzic comes into this having lost five straight. So if Raducanu brings her A-game, she can wrap this up in two.
09:30 England vs Italy World Cup
Italy
Win Match

@+1100
Lose
-50
If comparing the performances against Nepal, Italy look the value. They bowled out Nepal for 123 and chased it down in 12.4 overs without losing a wicket. England, by contrast, were lucky to get over the line against Nepal. England have an impressive batting line-up on paper, but they have mostly been underwhelming and their bowling unit hasn't impressed. Italy at 12.00 look the value.
05:30 Afghanistan vs UAE World Cup
UAE
Win Match
50 WIN
@+550

-50
Afghanistan are almost certainly out, and even if they win their last two games by big margins they will probably still be out. That won't stop them trying, though, and I can see them batting way too hard and losing wickets. UAE are an inferior side, but they are solid enough, and the flat surface should suit them. If Afghanistan do over-hit, an upset could be on the cards.
