Hungary is expected to win this, being ranked 8th. They have won all the last five meetings, but the last one was back in 2014.
19:30 Norway vs Brazil
Norway

Brazil are out of form with just one win in the last five. Brazil are out of the top 20 here, while Norway won the last meeting just over 12 months ago.
17:00 Netherlands vs Guinea
Netherlands

This should be one way. The Dutch are expected to get through to the next round, and Guinea are the rank outsiders here this year.

19:30 Austria vs Kuwait
Austria
Money Line
50 WIN
@1.11

First meeting between these two. Austria are ranked 17th and Kuwait are one of the outsiders, so Austria need the points.
17:00 France vs Qatar
France
Money Line
50 WIN
@1.02

France are one of the favorites and ranked number two. They shouldn't have much problem against 16th ranked Qatar, whom they last played nine years ago.
16:30 Italy vs Tunisia
Italy
Money Line
50 WIN
@1.90
Win

Worth going for Italy, who are just higher in the rankings. Tunisia is on a bad run of seven defeats from the last eight matches in all competitions.
01:30 Mayar Sherif vs Dayana Yastremska
Dayana Yastremska
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.45
Win
22
Very hard to back Sherif, who has only won five out of 31 hard court matches in the last four seasons. Yastremska isn't that great on this surface, but her record is a lot better.
00:30 Emma Navarro vs Peyton Stearns
Peyton Stearns
Win Match
50 WIN
@2.25
Lose
-50
Navarro might be number 8 in the world, but she is not great on hard courts. She leads the head-to-head 4-1, but that defeat was their only meeting on hard courts.
00:00 Beatriz Haddad Maia vs Julia Riera
Julia Riera
Win Match
50 WIN
@4.50
Lose
-50
Maia might be over 100 places better off in the rankings, but she has struggled this year, losing all three matches. Meanwhile, Riera has won all three qualifying matches to get this far.

50 WINNAP
@2.50
Win

Rosenpur has got to break the duck soon. Four second places on the bounce, and the last three were all here with the same jockey. A shorter distance might suit better.
01:30 Lucia Bronzetti vs Victoria Azarenka
Lucia Bronzetti
Win Match
50 WIN
@3.60
Win

Should be straightforward for the veteran Azarenka, but she has lost twice in the first round in the last five years here when she was odds-on to win.
01:30 Magdalena Frech vs Polina Kudermetova
Polina Kudermetova
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.73
Lose
-50
Kudermetova is the unseeded player, but she is in top form, having won 10 of her 11 matches this season already. Frech has won the only two meetings, but she has lost both of her matches this season.
00:00 Diana Shnaider vs Elisabetta Cocciaretto
Elisabetta Cocciaretto
Win Match

@4.75

Only 42 places separate these two, and they did meet three times last year with Cocciaretto winning two of them, including the hard court meet in straight sets.
00:00 Liudmila Samsonova vs Kamilla Rakhimova
Kamilla Rakhimova
Win Match
50 WIN
@4.50
Lose
-50
Their head-to-head stands at 1-1, and only 40 places separate these two. Samsonova might be seeded, but she did have to withdraw from her last event due to injury, so possible question mark.

Crystal Palace

@1.29

Palace have found some form over Christmas and have not lost in the last three matches. Stockport are the opposite and have not won in the last four league matches.
15:00 Newcastle v Bromley
Newcastle
50 WIN
@1.11
Win

Seeing that Newcastle are at home, I thought the odds would be shorter. Bromley were a non-league side last season, so this is their cup final. Newcastle will rest a few main players but should still be too strong.

After seeing some big scores yesterday, I fear for Bromley. Even with resting a few players, the reserves will want to impress, especially now the transfer window is open. Expect a big score.

Small field with three good horses, but backing Lecky Watson, who won last time out just under a month ago with the same jockey. The last three times Paul Townend has ridden this horse, twice he has won.

Tottenham

Thought the odds would be shorter. Anything but a big win will be embarrassing for the Spurs manager. He will rest a few first-teamers, but they should still be too strong for the non-leaguers.

Got to be overs here. Seeing some big scores yesterday, Spurs will want to be up there. They will want most goals in the first half, allowing them to rest some players.
02:00 Diane Parry vs Donna Vekic
Diane Parry
Win Match
50 WIN
@4.00
Lose
-50
Vekic has lost in the first round here twice in the last three years and started the season badly, having lost all three matches. Parry has yet to play this season, so she could be very fresh or rusty. At these odds, I'm hoping she's fresh.
01:30 Clara Tauson vs Linda Noskova
Clara Tauson
Win Match
50 WIN
@2.00
Win
50
Noskova may be the seeded player here and reached the quarterfinals last year, but only 11 places separate these two. Noskova has only won one of her three matches this season, while Tauson is already a tour winner in 2025, having won the recent Auckland event.

Anca Todoni
Win Match
50 WIN
@8.00

Zheng reached the final last year and is ranked number 5, but she has yet to play this year, so may be rusty. Todoni is ranked 110, but has already won three qualifying matches, so is up to speed.

Marie Bouzkova
Win Match
50 WIN
@3.75
Lose
-50
Only 27 places separate these two, and Bouzkova has got off to a great start this season, already reaching a quarter-final. Andreeva is much younger and could be too confident, although she did reach the fourth round last year.

Yuliia Starodubtseva

@5.50

-50
Starodubtseva is returning from injury before New Year, so fairly fresh, and is ranked 100. Fernandez may be seeded number 30 but has only ever won two matches here in the main draw. She lost her last match when a hot favorite.

Got to have goals in this. Ajax are in second place and need the goal difference, while RKC are rock bottom. Five of the last six league meetings have seen Overs.
17:45 Leeds v Harrogate Town
Leeds

Local derby, but these two sides are a gulf apart. Leeds are looking at returning to the Premier League next season, and Harrogate are fighting for survival in the Football League.

@1.06

This will be so straightforward even if, as expected, Man City rest most of their first team. It's Salford's big day, but staying in the Football League is more of a priority.

@1.10

Bordeaux, even though they are away from home, are going to be hard to beat. They have won all of their last seven matches in all competitions, and four of them have been away from home.

Going for a home win. Vannes did beat Gloucester at home by 24 points, and Edinburgh, when they traveled to Gloucester, lost by five points. The French are very hard to beat when they are at home.

This should be very one-sided, even if Liverpool do rest the majority of their first-team players. Liverpool win is too short, so I went for the next best thing: goals.

Auckland FC
50 WIN
@1.48

Auckland will be looking to go back to the top of the table with a win here. They have only lost once from 10 league matches this season. Perth are second from bottom with just five points all season.

Only five top 10 finishes last season for the Korean, and one of them was a fourth place here. Hoping for better things in the next 12 months, and I expect to see a Tour victory soon.
Matt Fitzpatrick

Not the best of seasons for Fitzpatrick, who only had three top 10 finishes last year. He finished here in 14th last year. I expect him to up his game over the next 12 months.

12 months ago, this was Theegala's best result when finishing in second place. He carried on to have another eight top 10 finishes. Very consistent.

They only met twice, and Dart won the last one on a hard court over three sets. That was back in 2019. Dart is much higher in the rankings now than Cabrera, but Cabrera is very experienced on hard courts to put up a fight.

Taylah Preston

Going for the local girl, who is 15 years younger and one place better off in the rankings. Barthel is way past her best and hasn't done much on hard courts for 5 years now.

CEZ Karlovarsko

Iwobi hasn't scored in the last five league matches, but does have goals to his name this season. From 19 matches, he has had 11 shots in the last four league matches, so a goal is due.

Barnsley

@1.48

Man City got back to winning ways last weekend at Leicester. Sooner or later, they are going to gel again and give someone a good beating. West Ham continue to struggle and are not helped with Bowen's injury.
