05:00 Sri Lanka U19 vs Nepal U19 One Day Match

Sri Lanka U19

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.28

Win

Sri Lanka look a class above here and have a great young team. Against a weaker Nepal side, I fully expect them to put up enough runs to win this one.

00:10 ATL Hawks @ DET Pistons

DET Pistons

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.40

Win

The Pistons have won 4 of their last 5 games. With the Hawks in poor form, having lost 3 of their last 4, the Pistons have won all of their last 3 meetings and are 5 wins ahead.

The Wizards are bottom of the conference and I just can't see them beating the Cavs, who are 11 wins above the Wizards. The Wizards have lost 4 of their last 5 games.

Vannes

To Win

50 WIN

@1.01

Win

Vannes are top of the league standings with 49 points, which is a full 26 points in front of Biarritz. I fully expect another home win here, as they are solid at home with a 100% win record.

@1.30

2nds in the last 3 runs, and the trainer generally does well here and at this level. With nothing standing out as much in this field, I'll take the win for the favourite.

18:30 Brive v Carcassonne

Brive

To Win

50 WIN

@1.01

Win

Brive are 16 points ahead in the league standings and Carcassonne are rock bottom of the league with only 13 points from 13 games. They have lost the last four games and away from home. I just can't see them winning here.

18:30 CFR Cluj v FK Csikszereda Miercurea Ciuc

CFR Cluj

50 WIN

@1.30

Win

Cluj, by their standards, are lower in the league than expected but still 4 points ahead of CMC. They have 2 wins in the last 3 home games, and CMC have 3 straight losses away from home.

18:30 Provence v Beziers

Provence

To Win

50 WIN

@1.03

Provence are 4th in the league and, with a win, could well go 2nd in the table. They are already 20 points in front of Béziers, who have lost all of their last five away games.

These two teams are locked together in the league table. Both have 11 points and sit near the bottom. They have indifferent form with two wins in five, but losses thrown in as well. I'll take the stalemate in this one, which looks like the value.

3rd on the last start at Dundalk, but this looks an easier task. With the yard in solid enough form and tending to do well here, this looks the value call.

50 WIN

@1.73

Win

Dresden have scored in all of their last 5 home games, and as EB are poor away from home I think they will net again here. With EB having scored in 4 of their last 5 away from home, the BTTS line looks a call here.

Dynamo Dresden (AH) -0.25

I'll take Dresden here as they have some decent recent form, with 3 wins from the last 4. They're pretty solid at home, and Braunschweig have lost their last 2 away games.

Got to take the unders here. Berlin away from home have been solid and they have kept 4 clean sheets in the last 5 away games, so they should keep the goals low here.

21:00 Luke Littler vs Darius Labanauskas

Luke Littler

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@1.03

Win

Littler, now ranked number 1, will want to start well and start fast. Against a player ranked 95, Luke is in red-hot form with 5 wins from his last 5 games.

Under 3.50

Total Sets

50 WIN

@1.13

Win

Fully expect a proper display from Luke here and really set down his marker for this event. With five wins from his last five games and four losses in his last five for DL, he's just not at the same level.

Luke Littler

Win 1st Set

50 WIN

@1.05

Win

Luke looks set to win easily enough in his first event here. Although there are no head-to-heads, he should be able to beat a player that's ranked nearly 100 places lower in the standings.

Luke Littler to win 3-0

Leg Betting

50 WIN

@1.17

Win

Think the 3-0 win looks the best option here, mainly due to the class of both and certainly the form of both, which is so different for these two. I expect Luke to set his standard high from the start.

20:00 FC Porto v Malmo FF

FC Porto

50 WIN

@1.22

Win

Porto sit 8th in the league phase with 10 points, looking to hold into the top section which goes straight to the final 16. Malmö have only 1 point from 5 games. It's a home win for me here.

20:00 Lyon v Go Ahead Eagles

Lyon

50 WIN

@1.20

Win

Lyon sit top of the Euro Group league phase and have 12 points from only 5 games. With only 2 goals conceded, they should win, especially at home, where they have won 3 of the last 4 games.

20:00 Michael Smith vs Lisa Ashton

Michael Smith

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@1.06

Win

Five previous meetings and five wins for Smith. There is no reason to think on the biggest stage he'll do anything other than power his way to another head-to-head victory here.

Michael Smith

Win 1st Set

50 WIN

@1.14

Win

Smith should have no issues here. With five wins from the last five meetings, and in two of those games he's won by 6-0 and 5-1, I expect much the same here.

Michael Smith to win 3-0

Leg Betting

50 WIN

@1.60

Win

Fully expect Smith to win this with ease. Ashton has lost the last three games, and Smith has won all five of the previous meetings. There is no room for messing around, so he'll play full out to start well here.

Michael Smith

Most 180s

50 WIN

@1.36

Win

Think Smith, who has a much bigger average on the season stats, and his ratio of hitting the maximums is well clear of that of Ashton, so no reason to oppose him.

20:00 Shelbourne v Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace

50 WIN

@1.15

Win

Palace look a class above here in quality standards, with Shelbourne finding it tough here as they have only 1 point from 4 games. It's the Palace win here for me.

No (BTTS)

Both Teams to Score

50 WIN

@1.65

Win

Just can't see Shelbourne breaking their scoring duck in the league phase against Palace. Palace have won their last two, and that's in the Prem, which is well above the standard of the home side here.

Crystal Palace & No (Result + BTTS)

Result and BTTS

50 WIN

@1.73

Win

Shelbourne are yet to score in the group league phase, and that's after four games. Against a strong Palace side, I think that could well hold here, as they look way too strong.

@11.00

AL are well above in the league table in position, but it's only 6 points. With one draw between these two teams in the last four and one other game that was only split by one point, they look close again here.

Tie

Money Line

50 WIN

@8.00

-50

These two teams look so closely matched and only two places split them in the league standings. Both have only two wins in the last five games. Gummers are coming into this off the back of two draws in their previous games.

19:30 Trentino vs Ach Volley Ljubljana

Trentino

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.05

Win

Trentino look a strong outfit, and in the Champions League mini-group phase they are expected to win this without too much trouble. With five straight wins on the bounce, I'll take them here.

Trentino to win 3-0

Set Score

50 WIN

@1.53

Win

Think the home side and the red-hot form they are in, having won all of their last 5, and the fact they have won all of the last 3 meetings between these two teams. I just think they will ease through here.

19:00 Skanderborg Handbold vs Fredericia HK

Tie

Money Line

50 WIN

@8.50

Lose

-50

Although Skanderborg are above in the standings, looking at the last five meetings these two teams have shared the honours, with three wins to two in favour of Skanderborg. So, with only seven points between them in the table, I'll take the draw.

18:00 Bergischer HC vs ThSV Eisenach

Tie

Money Line

50 WIN

@8.00

-50

Two of the lower sides here, but only three points between them in the league standings. I think this looks like a very close game and the draw should be the best value.

Tie

Money Line

50 WIN

@7.50

Lose

-50

Only two places and three points between these two teams in the league standings. With the home side out of form but IFK Skövde poor away from home, I just can't see a clear-cut winner. The draw may be the value.

18:00 HK Malmo vs Ystads IF HF

Tie

Money Line

50 WIN

@7.50

Lose

-50

Two of the top clubs here as it's 1st vs 4th and only three places and five points between these two teams. Both are unbeaten in five games, so the form can't be split. I'll stick with that and take the draw.

18:00 OV Helsingborg HK vs Hammarby IF HF

Tie

Money Line

50 WIN

@8.00

Lose

-50

The form of both teams is very similar. Although the better recent form is Hammarby, I think when at home OVH are really strong with 4 wins in the last 5, and I'll take the draw here.

18:00 SG Flensburg Handewitt vs Fuchse Berlin

Tie

Money Line

50 WIN

@8.00

Lose

-50

With only 1 point and 2 places splitting these two teams in the top section of the league table, and with a draw in the history of last season's game between these two teams along with a 1-point game, I'll take the draw again.

17:45 Fiorentina v Dynamo Kyiv

Fiorentina

50 WIN

@1.42

Win

Fior at home should be too strong here. Looking at the head-to-heads between these two, they are unbeaten in the last four meetings, winning two of those and conceding only one goal in those four.

17:45 VfB Stuttgart v Maccabi Tel Aviv

VfB Stuttgart

50 WIN

@1.20

Win

Tel Aviv are next-to-bottom of the monster group table with only 1 point from 5 games. With Stuttgart scoring nearly 2 per game, they should win easily at home here.

Got to take the overs here. The home side have hit nearly 2 on average in the Euro League. Tel Aviv are conceding nearly 3 per game and are in awful form. Goals should be on offer.

Top-level trainer at this level and a front-runner with a win last time out when it never looked in doubt. Pulled away with ease to win on that occasion. Against only two others in the small field, should go really well here.

Really like the jockey booking here. Had a good enough run last time out but didn't really get a clear run. This is now the second run over hurdles and looks to hold a great chance to get the win here.

22:30 Minas vs Azulim Gabarito/Monte Carmelo

Minas

Win Match

50 WIN

Looking at the previous meetings, Minas have won all of the last five meetings. Although they are not hitting the heights in the league table yet, they look strong enough to win here.

20:00 Borussia Dortmund v Bodo/Glimt

Julian Brandt

Anytime Goalscorer

50 WIN

@3.00

Win

100

Looks a great price, bearing in mind the main striker isn't playing. With a goal in his last game, that made it 3 goals from 11 games. He looks likely to push further forward against Bodo, who concede plenty.

20:00 Club Brugge v Arsenal

Noni Madueke

Anytime Goalscorer

50 WIN

@2.75

Win

Looks likely to be pushing forward for most of the game. With Brugge having an awful defensive record in the group phase and with seven goals last season in a broken season for Chelsea, I think he's good value.

Viktor Gyokeres

Anytime Goalscorer

50 WIN

@2.50

Lose

-50

Has four goals this season in only 13 games, and that's in the Prem against teams better than Brugge. With supply coming from both sides, Brugge have conceded 13 in only five games.

Jonathan David

Anytime Goalscorer

50 WIN

@1.75

Not really hit the ground yet for Juve after four great years at Lille, where he scored 74 goals in only four seasons. Against Pafos, I fully expect him to add to his tally of one this season.

Although on paper the form doesn't look the best, the quality of race has been better than this. The last run at Belmont was pleasing, and now looks ready to build off the back of that in a short field here.

Runs really well from the front and the jockey should get the most out of his ride here. The recent form is good enough to take this, although it is open for others. I just think the runner-up spot last time out shows the quality.

The last couple of runs have shown an improvement, and the trainer has taken only this one to Kempton. I fully expect a big run here, and with the jockey more than capable, should take all the beating.
