21:25 LV Raiders @ HOU Texans

LV Raiders

Money Line

50 WIN

@9.00

Lose

-50

It's been a poor season for the mighty Raiders ??" second bottom of the conference with just 2 wins. Houston have won their last 5, but the Raiders have nothing to lose and have a good recent record against the Texans. They could pull off a shock.

LV Raiders 14.00

Point Spread

50 WIN

@1.91

Win

46

It's hard to believe just how poor the Raiders have been this season. Even after that, this does look like a very tempting point spread advantage.

LV Raiders by 13 18

Winning Margin

50 WIN

@56.00

Lose

-50

With nothing to lose, the LV Raiders could finally come good after what has been a very poor season. Even with that poor run of form, they still have the players to pull off a shock win.
21:25 PIT Steelers @ DET Lions

DET Lions by 7 12

Winning Margin

50 WIN

@4.40

Lose

-50

Both teams sit mid-table in their respective leagues and both have similar form. The Lions have the vital home advantage and could match last year's 7-point win over the Steelers.
21:05 ATL Falcons @ ARI Cardinals

ARI Cardinals

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.37

Lose

-50

Two struggling sides, and the home side, the Cardinals, have lost their last five games. They do play better at home, and that could give them the edge.

ARI Cardinals 2.50

Point Spread

50 WIN

@2.00

Lose

-50

The fact that this point spread advantage is close just shows how near this came. So any advantage is worth taking, and the Cardinals are favored playing at home.

ARI Cardinals by 1 6

Winning Margin

50 WIN

@4.60

Lose

-50

On this season's form and current form, this looks like coming down to one score. Past meetings between the sides have favored the home side.
21:05 JAX Jaguars @ DEN Broncos

DEN Broncos

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.57

Lose

-50

Both teams go into this game on top of their game, winning their last 5, but the Broncos top the conference table with just 2 defeats in their 14 games and have the edge.

DEN Broncos by 1 6

Winning Margin

50 WIN

@3.70

Lose

-50

With the teams so closely matched on recent form and both in very strong form, I see a tight game, but I'll take the Broncos to edge this.
16:30 Aston Villa v Man Utd

Aston Villa & Yes (Result + BTTS)

Result and BTTS

Aston Villa #3-2

50 WIN

@23.00

Open

0

Two in-form teams, both scoring plenty of goals. But it's Villa who have won their last five games, are third in the table, and the home advantage could give them the edge.
15:00 Newcastle Red Bulls v Bath

Bath -18.50

Handicap

50 WIN

@1.91

Win

46

14:30 Mainz v St Pauli

Mainz

14:00 Baskets Wuerzburg vs Syntainics MBC

Syntainics MBC

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.95

Lose

-50

Both teams are in the top 4 of the table and one level points with little between them in current form. It was Syntainics who won their last meetings, so I'll take the better odds.

Syntainics MBC 5.50

Pointspread

50 WIN

@1.87

Lose

-50

On this season's form and league placing, this game could go either way. With Syntainics winning their last meeting against Baskets Würzburg, I'll take the point spread.
14:00 Hajduk Split v Vukovar 1991

Hajduk Split & No (Result + BTTS)

Result and BTTS

14:00 Virtus Entella v Sudtirol
13:00 Chris Wakelin v Chang Bingyu

Chris Wakelin to win 9-2

Frame Betting

50 WIN

@41.00

Win

2000

Although ranked in the 70s at the start of this Scottish Open, Chang Bingyu has played at the top of his game. In the past he has found winning tournaments difficult, and he lost his only past match against Chris Wakelin. Wakelin has a habit of dominating matches when he gets his head in front.
20 December 2025
19:00 Chang Bingyu v Mark Allen

Mark Allen to win 6-1

Frame Betting

50 WIN

@11.00

Lose

-50

Chang Bingyu has impressed in his game to reach this semi-final and played well above his world ranking of 70. Although he beat Mark Allen when they last met, Allen tends to play his best snooker in the big events. At his best, he should get a comfortable win.
15:00 Dender v Standard Liege

Draw

15:00 Man City v West Ham

Man City

The visitors West Ham are in the bottom 3 of the table, and they are putting up a battle against relegation. But this looks a massive ask against second in the table and in-form Man City, who have beaten them in their last 5 meetings.
15:00 Ockelbo vs Tureberg

Ockelbo

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.90

Lose

-50

Tureberg have made the better start to the season, but that's been mainly due to their very strong home form. Away from home they have lost 4 of their 5 games. With home advantage, these could be good odds for Ockelbo.

Ockelbo 6.50

Pointspread

50 WIN

@1.83

Win

41

Tureberg had a comfortable win over Ockelbo earlier this month, but they had the home advantage. They really struggle in their away games, so I'll take the point spread advantage for Ockelbo.
15:00 Wolverhampton v Brentford

Wolverhampton & Yes (Result + BTTS)

Result and BTTS

14:00 Asteras Tripolis v Aris Salonika

Draw

13:00 Chris Wakelin v Matthew Selt

Chris Wakelin to win 6-1

Frame Betting

50 WIN

@12.00

Lose

-50

Matthew Selt has had four strong wins in the Scottish Open so far, but prior to that he was struggling for form. He has a poor recent record against Chris Wakelin, and Wakelin could well get an easy win here.
11:35 Beijing Ducks vs Shenzhen Leopards

Beijing Ducks

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.18

Win

9

Beijing Ducks have beat Shenzhen in their last 5 meetings and go into this game in far better form, winning all 3 games this season. Shenzhen have just 1 win.
11:35 Sichuan Blue Whales vs Nanjing Monkey King

Sichuan Blue Whales 21.50

Pointspread

50 WIN

@1.85

Lose

-50

Neither side has made a great start to the season. The home side, Sichuan, are bottom of the table, losing all 3 games, and they will struggle against Nanjing. Although Nanjing have won 1 of their 3 games and beat Sichuan in their last 5 meetings, the matches have been far closer than Sichuan's point-spread advantage suggests.
19 December 2025
19:00 ADO Den Haag v PSV Reserves

ADO Den Haag #5-2

50 WIN

@29.00

Lose

-50

The visitors PSV Reserves are struggling in defence and have conceded 10 goals in their last 3 games. They have also created plenty of chances. They also face a good in-form Den Haag who are scoring plenty of goals.
19:00 FC Eindhoven v AZ Reserves

FC Eindhoven #4-2

50 WIN

@41.00

Lose

-50

Eindhoven have scored 4 goals in each of their last 2 games, and they will get plenty of chances against a suspect AZ Reserve side. AZ have scored 13 goals in their last 5 away games, so they will also get chances.
19:00 Mark Allen v Joe O Connor

Joe O Connor to win 5-3

Frame Betting

50 WIN

@7.50

Lose

-50

Two informal points: although Mark Allen has won 4 of their last 5 meetings, they have all been close matches. It might be worth taking Joe O'Connor at some very tempting odds to get a win back.
17:30 Ilves vs K Espoo

K Espoo

Money Line

50 WIN

@3.35

Lose

-50

The teams have met twice in the last few weeks, with Espoo winning both matches. With the teams on level points, they do look good value here.

K Espoo 1.50

Puck Line

50 WIN

@1.85

Lose

-50

Ilves go into this match in better form, but the teams are side by side in the table on level points. Espoo have won their last 2 meetings.
12:00 Chang Bingyu v Mark Selby

Chang Bingyu 2.50

Handicap Betting

50 WIN

@1.85

Win

43

Chang Bingyu is in top form and has had three comfortable wins in this Scottish Open already. But against Mark Selby he may just miss out. This does look a good handicap for him.

Mark Selby to win 5-4

Frame Betting

50 WIN

@6.50

Lose

-50

Two inform players and I can see this match going the full 9 frames, but Mark Selby has a good record against Chang Bingyu and should edge it.
08:15 Brisbane Heat vs Perth Scorchers T20

AJ Turner

Man Of The Match

50 WIN

@21.00

Lose

-50

Brisbane Heat have lost their last 4 T20 games and have a poor record against Perth. The Perth captain, Ashton Turner, has been very consistent with the bat and looks overdue a big score. He also scored plenty of runs against Brisbane in last year's meetings.

AJ Turner (Perth Scorchers)

Top Team2 Batsman

50 WIN

@7.50

Lose

-50

The Perth captain and middle-order bat Ashton Turner does tend to move up and down the batting order. But if he does get any time at the crease, he is a consistent scorer.
00:07 CHI Blackhawks @ MTL Canadiens

CHI Blackhawks

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.60

Lose

-50

Little between the teams in their current form. Both in different leagues and recent games between them have been close. But with three past meetings this year, it's the Blackhawks who have won two of them.

CHI Blackhawks 1.50

Puck Line

50 WIN

@1.61

Lose

-50

The two sides have met 3 times already this year, with 1 win each and 1 going into added time. So any advantage is worth taking.
18 December 2025
20:50 Zak Surety v Joe O Connor

Zak Surety 1.50

Handicap Betting

50 WIN

@1.70

Lose

-50

At this stage of this event, any handicap advantage is worth taking, as the players are sure to be in similar good form. Zak Surety has had some very good wins in the first two rounds.

Zak Surety to win 4-1

Frame Betting

50 WIN

@8.00

Lose

-50

Zak Surety has picked up some good wins already in this Scottish Open. Although he's ranked 24 places below O'Connor, his current form could see him pull off a shock, easy win.
20:00 Crystal Palace v KuPS Kuopio

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace #3-1

50 WIN

@11.00

Lose

-50

This could be a nice break from the Premier League for Palace and a chance to get a win with home advantage. But KuPS will get the odd chance.
20:00 NK Celje v Shelbourne

NK Celje

NK Celje #3-0

50 WIN

@9.00

Lose

-50

Shelbourne are third-bottom in this conference league with just 1 point from 5 games. They have failed to score at home. Advantage should see comfortable Celje win.
20:00 Shamrock Rovers v Hamrun Spartans

Draw

Draw #2-2

50 WIN

@17.00

Lose

-50

Both teams are struggling in the bottom six of this conference league and neither have a great defence. I can see it being close and both teams will test the defences.
20:00 Sparta Prague v Aberdeen

Draw

Draw #2-2

50 WIN

@26.00

Lose

-50

Aberdeen struggled early on in this Conference League and in their domestic league, but they have picked up in recent matches. In contrast, Prague have struggled. This could be closer than the betting suggests.
18:00 Linkoping HC vs Djurgardens IF

Djurgardens IF 1.50

Puck Line

50 WIN

@1.40

Lose

-50

Little between them in their current form, but the visitors Djurgårdens are 8 points above Linköping in the table and beat them in all three meetings this year.
13:00 Mark Selby v Noppon Saengkham

Noppon Saengkham 2.50

Handicap Betting

50 WIN

@1.70

Lose

-50

Both players are in very strong form. Although Selby is ranked 29 places above Noppon Saengkham, when the players met in last year's Scottish Open it was Saengkham who won.

Noppon Saengkham to win 4-3

Frame Betting

50 WIN

@10.00

Lose

-50

With two in-form players, there's every chance of this game going the full seven frames. Based on their recent meetings, it could be worth taking these very good odds on Noppon Saengkham to edge this.
11:35 Shanxi Loongs vs Zhejiang Golden Bulls

Shanxi Loongs

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.83

Win

41

Shanxi Loongs finished last season second in the table, and they have made the better start of the two teams with a win in their first two games. Zhejiang have lost both their opening games.

Shanxi Loongs -1.50

Pointspread

50 WIN

@1.83

Win

41

Although the visitors Zhejiang have a good record against Shanxi, it's the home side Shanxi who have the better recent form and look better than the small minus point spread.
08:15 Melbourne Stars vs Hobart Hurricanes T20

Melbourne Stars

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.30

Win

65

Melbourne Stars need to bounce back after defeat in their last game. They had won the four prior to that and are in better form than Hobart Hurricanes.

GJ Maxwell

Man Of The Match

50 WIN

@8.00

Lose

-50

With little between the teams in their past meetings, it's Melbourne Stars who go into this game in better recent form. That's mainly due to their big hitter Glenn Maxwell, who's top-scored for them in his last three innings. In his current form he looks MOM material.

GJ Maxwell (Melbourne Stars)

Top Team1 Batsman

50 WIN

@3.40

Lose

-50

In his current form it's hard to look past Glenn Maxwell top-scoring for Melbourne for the third game in a row. If he stays at the crease for any time, he will score quickly.
