18:00 SK Brann v Sarpsborg
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-200
Win
25
The 23 goals scored by Brann is the third-highest total in the league. However, they find themselves down in 8th because of the 18 goals they have conceded. Sarpsborg's last four games have all gone over, so I see goals in this one.
17:00 Andorra v Iraq
Iraq (AH) -1.25
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-102
Lose
-50
Andorra offer little going forward, failing to score in 12 of their last 14 games. There is 116 places between the sides, and with Iraq coming into this with a fine win over Bolivia last month, I see them winning by at least a couple.
17:00 Ludogorets Razgrad v Lokomotiv Plovdiv
Under 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@+100
Win
50
Ludogorets Razgrad are strong favourites, but I don't see them racking up many goals in this one. They have scored just 4 times in their last 8 games, and as a consequence 7 of their last 8 have gone under. I see them doing just enough to win.
12:35 Liaoning Ironman v Shanghai Port
Guy Mbeza
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@+500
Lose
-50
Guy Mbeza has caught fire in his last two, scoring a brace against Qingdao Hainiu and then a hat-trick against Zhejiang Professional. Although Shanghai Port have become difficult to beat, they have conceded in 12 of their 14 games, so I like Mbeza's chances today.
12:00 Solana Sierra vs Sorana Cirstea
Sorana Cirstea
Win Match
50 WIN
@-344
Win
14
It's Sorana Cîrstea's farewell season and she clearly intends to go out in style. She is 29-8 for the season and 12-3 on clay, including a win over Sabalenka. It was no surprise that Sierra dispatched Paolini, as Paolini isn't in great form. Cîrstea in this form is a big step up, though, and I feel she'll come up short.
11:00 Cronulla Sharks v Manly Sea Eagles
Over 45.50
Total Points
50 WIN
@-124
Win
40
Sea Eagles are a strong side this season and are averaging 36 points per away game. Sharks have picked up at home, scoring 90 points over their last two games. Last time they scored thirty points in the first half but eased up and totaled just 38. They won't have that luxury in this one, so I see the total going over 45.
10:00 Thiago Agustin Tirante vs Pablo Carreno Busta
Pablo Carreno Busta 4.50
Games Won
50 WIN
@-113
Win
44
Thiago Agustin Tirante hasn't had the toughest of draws. In round one he beat Llamas Ruiz in a match that was evenly matched until Tirante won the third-set tiebreak. His opponent clearly didn't fancy a five-setter and threw in the towel, losing the next set 6-0. Tirante then faced Davidovich Fokina, who is probably the most erratic player around, so that win means little. He faces a tough competitor in Carreno Busta, who thrives on clay. Carreno Busta upset big-serving Lehe?ka in round one 3-0, and came through courtesy of Kokkinakis' retirement, so he hasn't exerted too much energy. I see him pushing Tirante all the way.
10:00 Xiyu Wang vs Yuliia Starodubtseva
Yuliia Starodubtseva
Win Match
50 WIN
@-188
Lose
-50
Starodubtseva was sensational in beating Rybakina in the previous round. Admittedly, she was helped by far too many unforced errors from Rybakina, but that was probably down to the pressure she was under. Wang has come through five rounds, but she hasn't played anyone of note and had a bye in the last round. She is capable enough, but if Starodubtseva can find the form she displayed against Rybakina, she can blow Wang away. There is always a danger of players being flat after a big upset, but I'm hoping that's not the case.
08:05 Crusaders v Hurricanes
Hurricanes 11.50
Handicap
50 WIN
@+110
Lose
-50
Quite how Hurricanes get an 11.5 start is a bit of a mystery. They top the table with just one defeat in regular time and one in extra time. Crusaders are a strong home side, but they do concede plenty of tries, conceding more points than any other side in the top eight. Against a fine attacking side like the Hurricanes, I don't see them covering this line.

28 May 2026
20:00 Vannes v Oyonnax
Over 54.50
Total Points
50 WIN
@-117
Win
43
Vannes have been utterly dominant at home, winning all 15 games in the regular season. They averaged 43 points per home game, the highest average in the league. Oyonnax are a capable enough side, and although it looks a tough order to win this, they average 23 points per away game, so I think they get sufficient points to take this over.
19:15 Arthur Rinderknech vs Matteo Berrettini
Arthur Rinderknech
Win Match
50 WIN
@-109
Lose
-50
I think Berrettini was a tad fortunate to come through the first round against Fucsovics. Fucsovics won the first set and was the better player in the second but failed to take his break-point chances and ended up losing the set 7-5 by losing the one break point against him. He then wilted badly in the heat, while Berrettini, to be fair, showed fine fitness levels. Rinderknech will be a much tougher ask. He seemed unfazed by the heat, and his serve is working incredibly well, making it tough for Berrettini to break him. Berrettini has struggled against the better players in the past year, and the Frenchman certainly falls into that bracket.
16:30 Chrobry Glogow v LKS Lodz
Chrobry Glogow (AH) 0.25
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-111
Win+Push
22
Chrobry G?ogów are a strong home side, whereas ?KS ?ód? have won just 6 of their 17 away games. Chrobry G?ogów won 3-1 at ?ód? in February when they last met, so look at the bet with a start.
15:00 Felix Auger Aliassime vs Roman Andres Burruchaga
Roman Andres Burruchaga
Win Match
50 WIN
@+220
Lose
-50
To be honest, I thought Felix Auger-Aliassime might have gone out at the first hurdle when drawn against the tricky Altmaier in round one. However, he fought well to come from 2-1 down on sets to win in a tiebreak. I think the fast clay conditions certainly helped him, but the courts should be slower today. Burruchaga is an out-and-out clay player who has over 180 wins on the surface since 2022 and can take advantage of Auger-Aliassime's shortcomings.
15:00 Matteo Arnaldi vs Stefanos Tsitsipas
Matteo Arnaldi
Win Match
50 WIN
@+150
Win
75
Arnaldi has won 8 of his last 9 clay matches, with the only loss being to rising star Jodar. It's not that he's had easy matches, as he's beaten De Minaur, Munar, Hurkacz, Borges, and Cerúndolo ??" all very capable players. Tsitsipas isn't the force he was and lost three of his last four matches. Arnaldi is the in-form player of the two, so he looks an attractive bet at 2.50.
15:00 Raphael Collignon vs Ben Shelton
Raphael Collignon
Win Match
50 WIN
@+175
Win
88
Raphael Collignon was ranked 353 in 2023 but has now shot up to 62 in the rankings. This year he has an 11??"2 win??"loss record and isn't fazed by playing the big names, holding a 4??"3 winning record against top-20 players in the past year. I'm not fully convinced by Shelton on clay, although to be fair he has done well this year. Shelton does have a reputation for raising his game at the majors, but against top-60 players his record is mediocre, winning 12 of his 23 games. I can see a potential upset in this one.
13:30 Francisco Comesana vs Luciano Darderi
Francisco Comesana
Win Match
50 WIN
@+275
Win
138
Luciano Darderi is having a great clay season with a 17-8 win/loss record, but it's the losses that interest me more. He's shown little stomach for a fight in recent losses, with him winning just 5 games against Cerúndolo, 3 against De Minaur, and 2 against Ruud. Comesana is a solid clay player who beat Darderi in their only meeting on clay. If he gets a decent start, he can cause an upset.
11:30 Hubert Hurkacz vs Frances Tiafoe
Frances Tiafoe
Win Match
50 WIN
@+125
Win
62
Hubert Hurkacz has a powerful serve and also likes to come to the net. Tiafoe, by contrast, will play from the baseline all day and grind away. Hurkacz's recent match with Arnaldi was quite revealing, as Arnaldi got into Hurkacz's serve, winning 50% of his first serves. Despite Hurkacz still dominating at the net, Arnaldi won in straight sets. The way to win is clear for Tiafoe: just get the serve back and try to prevent the opponent from rushing the net, and the match can be his.
11:30 Martin Landaluce vs Vit Kopriva
Vit Kopriva
Win Match
50 WIN
@-129
Lose
-50
The money has come for Kopriva, and it's not hard to see why. Landaluce limped over the line in his opener, not playing well towards the end. His opponent wasn't either. Landaluce suffered wrist discomfort in the final two sets but shook it off as a mere minor inconvenience. I'm not so sure, as his errors increased late on, and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't want another gruelling five-setter. He may have to against Kopriva, who also needed five sets against Moutet. Kopriva was just as strong at the finish as at the start. I give him a clear edge.
11:00 Jannik Sinner vs Juan Manuel Cerundolo
Juan Manuel Cerundolo 10.50
Games Won
50 WIN
@-129
Win
38
Jannik Sinner failed to cover this handicap in his opener, beating Tabur 6-1, 6-3, 6-4. He now faces a tougher opponent in Cerúndolo, who is solid on clay, having just won the title in Bordeaux. He shouldn't trouble Sinner for the win, but in the midday heat Sinner won't want to exert too much effort. I can see him easing down a tad when in command and just doing enough.
10:00 Jan Lennard Struff vs Jaime Faria
Jan Lennard Struff
Win Match
50 WIN
@+150
Lose
-50
Faria has an impressive 25-11 win/loss record on clay this year, although his wins have almost exclusively been at Challenger level or qualifiers. Struff looks a step up on most of the players he has beaten. Struff upset Bublik in round one, which was an impressive result. Bublik can be erratic, but he was clearly giving it everything; it's just that Struff was that little bit better, really making the most of second serves when they came along. I think he can cause Faria all sorts of problems and win this.
10:00 Zachary Svajda vs Adam Walton
Adam Walton
Win Match
50 WIN
@+110
Lose
-50
Walton normally avoids the clay, which is strange considering how well he played on it when upsetting Medvedev in round 1. He is rewarded with a very winnable-looking match against Svajda. Svajda has an awful record on clay. Prior to upsetting Popyrin in the last round, he had won just 8 of his 32 lifetime matches on the surface. I think the sun-baked fast courts helped him beat Popyrin, but against a battler like Walton I see him coming up short.

Alfie Solomon has finished its last two races well, coming from near the rear to finish second in both. That was at A7 level and now it drops back to A8. When last seen at this level it finished strongly, coming home by 2¼ lengths.
20:00 Crystal Palace v Rayo Vallecano
Ismaila Sarr
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@+600
Lose
-50
English side have done well in this competition, so I'm looking at Palace to score first. Sarr looks the most likely first scorer. He has been in sensational form in the Conference League, netting nine times in total, including his last five matches.
19:15 Tomas Machac vs Alexander Zverev
Over 34.50
Total Games
50 WIN
@-109
Lose
-50
Tomas Machac isn't always the most reliable player, but he is a talented clay player and looks capable of troubling Zverev. He took a set off Sinner in Monte Carlo and beat solid clay players like Tsitsipas and Cerúndolo. Zverev has often made hard work of opponents he should blow away, so I see this going long.
18:30 Leicestershire vs Derbyshire T20
Derbyshire
Win Match
50 WIN
@+110
Win
55
Jack Morley has been in good form with the ball for Derbyshire, taking 3-35 against Durham and 4-44 against Yorkshire. However, the rest of the bowlers have not been as strong, with the side conceding 203 and 195 runs in their two games. The Derbyshire batters have already posted totals of 197 and 194. Surely a win is just around the corner, and this could be the one. Leicestershire are looking poor again, losing both matches. They have shaken up their squad a little, but they have not clicked as of yet, so look opposable.

In an open-looking race, Rapido Beat is the one I like. It's a former A3 winner, a winner at this track and at this distance. With a bit of luck in running, it has the speed to win this.

SK Artis Brno finished top of the league with a fine home record of W13 D1 L1 and just nine goals conceded. I think they should be a good match for strugglers Slovacko.

These two Americans should know each other's game well, having met four times in the last couple of years. There doesn't look to be an awful lot between them. It's two wins apiece, with Basavareddy the most recent winner. Basavareddy had a fine upset win over Fritz, producing a whole host of quality winners, so I see him being competitive and this being a long match.

I'm just not convinced by Boult at the moment and think Bumrah is a much more reliable option. You can guarantee he will play his full quota of overs each match and simply looks the best, most consistent wicket-taker.

Solana Sierra
Win Match

@+162
Win
81
Jasmine Paolini beat Yastremska in straight sets in the opener, but it was a strange match. She was far from convincing, but her opponent seemingly didn't want to hang around for long in the heat. Yastremska banged in 21 clean winners but also a whopping 54 unforced errors. Jasmine Paolini upset Raducanu in her first round, including a bagel. She displayed some fine tennis and can upset Paolini, who doesn't look at her best right now.

Over 38.50

Win
43
Two rising stars of the game, and I don't see any of them running away with it. Fonseca is the higher ranked, having made his way to 30 in the world but has lost 3 of his last 4 coming into this. Prizmic is on a tear, having won 6 of his last 7, and should ensure this is a long tussle.
13:00 Nuno Borges vs Miomir Kecmanovic
Nuno Borges
Win Match
50 WIN
@+145
Win
73
Miomir Kecmanovi? is in fine form on the clay, having won the title in Valencia. He had a straightforward win over Marozsán in round one, but Marozsán clearly didn't fancy it in the heat. Despite that, Kecmanovi? came off court grumbling about how hot it was. Borges seems fine in these conditions, and with his solid surface game won't be easy to break. He should be competitive, and this could turn into a grind in which I'd favour the underdog.

Over 36.50

Pablo Carreño Busta is a strong favourite because of his solid clay form. I don't see this being straightforward against Kokkinakis, who is way better than his injury-affected ranking of 855 would suggest. He has been involved in marathon matches here before, including a five-set beating of Frenchman Terrence Atmane in round one. He serves well, banging in 24 aces in round one, so looks tough to break.
12:00 Mariano Navone vs Jakub Mensik
Jakub Mensik
Win Match
50 WIN
@-124
Win
40
Navone has been busy this year, playing 23 matches already on clay alone. Whether that volume will catch up with him remains to be seen. He has been mightily impressive, winning 15 of his 23 opponents on clay. Mensik, though, is a tough opponent for him. Mensik dominated Droquet 3-0 in his opener and looks to have saved his best tennis for this event. He has a slightly higher ceiling, so I give him the edge.
11:30 Camilo Ugo Carabelli vs Andrey Rublev
Camilo Ugo Carabelli 5.50

Rublev is clearly the better player, but this may not be that straightforward. Although in solid form on the clay, he has lost to Kopriva and Bergs, and dropped a set to Buse in the first round. Camilo Ugo Carabelli is a capable clay player who won 3-0 against Nava in his opening in what looked like a close matchup. He has the tools to hang in there on this surface.

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina is a talented player but has an awful habit of turning games he's capable of winning in 3 or 4 into marathons. A case in point was the first-round win in 5. Tirante looks like another opponent who will once again embroil him in a long match.

This looks a coin flip to me, with neither really impressive of late. Both are capable on clay and have solid wins in the opener. I don't see anyone running away with it, so I'm expecting 4 or 5 sets.

Khachanov is a strong favourite, but Trungelliti is a solid clay player who will happily grind away all day. He was impressive coming through his first round rather easily, so I think he has the ability to make this long.

The head-to-heads favor Wang, who is 3-0, including a comfortable 6-2, 6-1 here at the Olympics. However, her form on clay hasn't been good since 2025, losing 10 of her 18 matches. Even in her win yesterday against Taggar, she actually won fewer points than her opponent. Korpatsch has been playing well on clay, so this looks like a close match to me.

Essex's opening pair made 110 between them, but they still lost their opening game. That's a worry, as I'm not sure what is expected from the opening pair to get a win. Hants were disappointing in their opener, going down to Somerset. However, Somerset are a strong side, and last year's beaten finalists can bounce back.

Kalinskaya is just 1??"4 at the French Open and doesn't play an awful lot of clay tennis. Boisson is in poor form but has been out for seven months with injury. Last year she had an improbable run to the semis, and with guaranteed home support I expect her to give it her all once again and can upset a fragile-looking favorite.

Baez has had a disappointing clay-court swing, 8??"10, after a fine hard-court start to the year. That's unusual, as clay looks his best surface. With the courts playing fast, his hard-court form could be vital. Burruchaga has never won a Grand Slam main-draw match, and the faster courts won't favour him.

Adolfo Daniel Vallejo is a quality clay player but has never played in the main draw of a Grand Slam. He faces a tough opponent in Norrie, who is vastly more experienced and has a knack for grinding out Grand Slam wins. The quicker courts won't favour Vallejo, so I think Norrie will do his usual grinding away, making this a long match.

Elsa Jacquemot has no form coming into this, losing all five clay matches. She faces a tricky opponent in Linda Fruhvirtova, who has shown flashes of brilliance but isn't climbing the rankings as she’d like due to inconsistent performances. She breezed through qualifying, and her last-16 win at the Australian (2023) shows she has a big-game temperament.

Kopriva is a solid, reliable clay-courter with recent wins over Andrey Rublev, Luciano Darderi, and Fábián Marozsán. I expect him to play to his usual level, which will make him tough to beat. Moutet doesn't look in good form, losing four on the trot and winning just one set. Unless he finds his very best form, he looks vulnerable in this one.

The pair met recently in Rome with Li winning in three sets. What's interesting is that both players won exactly 83 points, which indicates this could be close. Li is the clear favorite, but although erratic Zhang has shown that she is capable of purple patches, which should ensure this goes over.

Facundo Díaz Acosta has been winning for fun on clay, holding a 28??"4 win/loss record. Admittedly, he has been playing at Challenger level, but he plays a player in Zhang who is badly out of form on the clay, losing 6 of his last 9 matches. It's not that he has had tough draws either, as he has lost to some lowly ranked players.

Since making the semis in 2021, Maria Sakkari has won just one match in her last four attempts. She faces a difficult first-round opponent in Noskova. Noskova is a solid top-15 player these days and is very capable on clay. With Sakkari having lost six of her seven matches, all in straight sets, I don't see her causing an upset.

Tabilo struggles to bring his best game to majors, losing 6 of his last 7 matches. Majchrzak, by contrast, performs well in the big events. Majchrzak's recent results don't look great, but he's put up good efforts against solid clay courters in slow conditions. With the courts playing fast, I expect him to give a good account of himself.

Felix Auger-Aliassime has lost in the first round of the French in four of his previous six appearances. His general Grand Slam performances are worse than expected, and he's already gone out in round 1 of the Australian this year. Daniel Altmaier seems to raise his level in slams and often gives a good account of himself against higher-ranked players. I think he can trouble Felix Auger-Aliassime, who isn't playing well and has too often suffered from cramping during matches.
