@6.50

Win

165

Is super consistent at this level and, with the style of running and a liking to come last, this race looks set up very nicely for the running. Looks set to at least place.

22:00 Praia Clube W vs Osasco W

Praia Clube W

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.91

Win

These two clubs are really closely matched. I just think the home advantage will be the key in this one. Praia Clube have won four of the last five games, and Osasco have lost two of the last three away from home.

@8.00

Win

Looks a really solid each-way call here. The recent run was solid, and now looks ready to reverse the placings with the fave in this race, who is way too short for me.

20:00 Crystal Palace v KuPS Kuopio

Crystal Palace

50 WIN

@1.22

Lose

-50

Palace look solid here and are 3 points above KuPS. Squad-wise they are much stronger, as they play in the Prem. Any game at this stage will be against a much lesser team. I think it's an easy home win here.

Crystal Palace & No (Result + BTTS)

Result and BTTS

50 WIN

@2.00

Lose

-50

Palace are in great form, with 3 wins in the last 4 games and 2 clean sheets in those games. At home they are very strong. KuPS have played 2 away games and are yet to score.

Crystal Palace #2-0

50 WIN

@7.00

Lose

-50

Palace have averaged around 2 goals per game. With a win, that will take them into the top section of the group phase. KuPS have really struggled all phase, with less than 1 goal scored per game.

20:00 NK Celje v Shelbourne

NK Celje

50 WIN

@1.35

Lose

-50

Got to take Celje here, as Shelbourne have not even scored in any of their five games in the league phase so far. With a win here, Celje can move into second in the league phase, and they are unbeaten at home in the last five.

NK Celje & No (Result + BTTS)

Result and BTTS

50 WIN

@2.25

Lose

-50

Shelbourne are yet to score in five games in this phase, and I just can't see them scoring here against a team that is really solid and unbeaten in the last five at home.

20:00 Rayo Vallecano v KF Drita

Rayo Vallecano

50 WIN

@1.18

Win

Rayo should be too strong here. They are 7th in the group phase, and I fully expect them to win at home, as Drita have scored less than one per game.

Rayo Vallecano & No (Result + BTTS)

Result and BTTS

50 WIN

@1.83

Win

Rayo have kept three clean sheets in their last five home games. They stand above Drita in the group, and Drita away in the group have been less than convincing. It's a home win here for me.

Rayo Vallecano #3-0

50 WIN

@7.00

Win

300

Rayo look a solid call here. With an average 2 goals scored per game and with a win here they will have a chance to top the league. They look solid at the back, so I'll take a clear win.

20:00 Reading v Luton

Yes (BTTS)

Both Teams to Score

50 WIN

@1.95

Win

Reading have scored in all of their last five home games, but they have also conceded in four of those. They sit seven points behind Luton, who have also scored in four of their last five away games.

20:00 Sparta Prague v Aberdeen

Sparta Prague

50 WIN

@1.20

Win

Aberdeen are in awful shape in the group phase. They have only 2 points from 5 games and have only 3 goals scored. They just can't have them winning this one.

Sparta Prague & No (Result + BTTS)

Result and BTTS

50 WIN

@1.91

Win

With only 3 goals in 5 games in the group phase so far, and Sparta have conceded only 3 goals in their group games, I think they can win with a clean sheet here.

Sparta Prague #2-0

50 WIN

@6.50

Lose

-50

Sparta just don't concede goals as they concede less than 1 per game, and Aberdeen have struggled all the way through this phase. So it's a home win here for me.

20:00 Strasbourg v Breidablik

Strasbourg

50 WIN

@1.22

Win

Strasbourg sit top of the league and are unbeaten so far in the group phase. They have some really strong wins in the stage, and Breid have lost 2 of the last 3 games.

Strasbourg & No (Result + BTTS)

Result and BTTS

50 WIN

@2.10

Lose

-50

As Strasbourg have only conceded 4 goals in 5 matches and they sit top of the league phase both home and away in this stage. Breid have played 2, scored none, and conceded 5 goals.

Strasbourg #2-0

50 WIN

@8.00

Lose

-50

Strasbourg look solid here and should add another win, as they already top the league phase and, with only 4 goals conceded, I think they'll win again with a clean sheet.

19:45 Real Madrid vs Paris

Real Madrid -9.50

Pointspread

@1.87

Lose

-50

Madrid are 4 points in front of Paris and have 4 wins from the last 5 games. Paris are in poor form with 3 losses on the spin, and away from home they are worse with 5 straight losses.

19:30 Milano vs Fenerbahce

Milano

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.85

Lose

-50

Milano are in cracking form with 4 wins from their last 4. At home they are really strong, and with the tables so close and the form of both similar, I'm just going with the home advantage.

Milano -1.50

Pointspread

50 WIN

@1.87

Lose

-50

Just think the home advantage and recent really solid form wins this for the home side. With a win they could arguably go very close to the top of the standings. That shows how close this table is.

-50

On the clock looks to hold every chance, and although there are a couple of fancied youngsters in this race, I just think the experience and clock times put the selection in a good light.

-50

Although short, has the track record, which is really key around here. With a top jockey on board and on the clock, is ahead of the majority of these. It's the trainer's only runner here today, so is expected to win here.

Has been knocking on the door of late with 2nd and 3rd but yet to get the 1st. With a great draw in the red and those recent track times, should hold up really well in this field and is expected to be in the mix right at the end.

2 wins from the last 4 and those were both very good clock times. So, after a recent trial, she should be fitter from that run. From the red jacket she might get a clear passage and go very close here.

Looks great value here in a 5-dog race and should get the clear passage. His style of coming late requires more gaps. If he can keep in touch down the back straight, he rates a big danger.

Has been a little off the form of late but has some really solid split and clock times. So, from the inside trap in the red, might get the run of the race and return to the better form.

The key here could be the early pace. The red jacket has pace and should be able to clear the field early. That's a chance to avoid any likely trouble, and on the clock should be very close.

Celtic need to bounce back here. With Dundee Utd winless in the last five, I think Celtic will win. They need to close the gap on Hearts at the top of the table, and they have the best defence in the league.

20:00 Kyren Wilson v Pang Junxu

Kyren Wilson

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.40

Win

Wilson is ranked 2 for this event, and with PJ ranked over 25, I think that Wilson, following the recent solid 4-1 win, should have enough here to win this.

Kyren Wilson -1.50

@1.70

Wilson should have too much here. He has 2 wins in the last 2 meetings between these two players and a really solid 4-1 win in the last game.

Really like the overs. Both teams have a solid scoring record, and with the form of FC Zurich really good, I expect them to net a couple. They often concede, so it's a goals game here for me.

Yes (BTTS)

Both Teams to Score

50 WINAThis tip was used on Football 4Fold Acca.

@1.50

Lose

-50

Got to like the chances here, as both teams score well over 1 per game and that’s the same for goals conceded. FCZ have scored in all of their last five, and Lugano in four of their last five. Goals look likely here.

FC Zurich (AH) 0.00

Asian Hcap

50 WIN

@2.02

Lose

-50

Really like the value of FCZ here as they are in great form and have not lost in the last 5, with 3 wins along those games. With 2 wins in the last 3 meetings at home, I think they can win again here.

FC Zurich #2-1

50 WIN

@11.00

Lose

-50

I'll take the home win here. The home form of FCZ has been really strong of late, and they have scored at least 2 in four of their last five matches, so I think they will do the same again.

19:30 Lucerne v Basel

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.50

Win

Got to take the overs here as Lucerne have scored nearly 2 goals on average per game and have also conceded nearly 2 per game. With Basel 10 points ahead in the standings, goals for me here.

Yes (BTTS)

Both Teams to Score

50 WINAThis tip was used on Football 4Fold Acca.

@1.50

Win

Got to take Lucerne to score as they have hit 14 in their last 5 home games, and with them conceding 10 in those same 5 games as well. Basel have scored in all of their last 4 away games.

Lucerne (AH) 0.50

Asian Hcap

50 WIN

@1.98

Lose

-50

I'll take the home team on the AH here. Although they are 10 points behind in the league, at home they have lost only 1 of the last 5 games. Away, Basel have won only 2 of their last 5 games.

Draw #2-2

50 WIN

@11.50

Lose

-50

With goals likely, looking at the stats for both teams and with not much between these two teams in the league and the form, the draw with goals looks like the sensible call to me.

19:30 Man City v Brentford

Brentford

50 WIN

@5.50

Lose

-50

City have certainly not got a full-strength team out here. The Bees have a really good front line with a Premier-style front two and look nearly at full strength, so you just can’t miss the good odds.

Brentford #2-1

50 WIN

@19.00

Lose

-50

Looking at the line-ups, I really think this could be a great chance for the Bees to win this. But it's rare if City don't score, so I'll take the Bees to edge this game.

19:30 Young Boys v Grasshoppers

Young Boys

50 WINAThis tip was used on Football 4Fold Acca.

@1.55

Lose

-50

Young Boys are solid at home and have 4 wins and a draw in the last 5 home games. The Hoppers have lost 3 of the last 5 away matches and sit 15 points behind in the league table.

Young Boys #2-0

50 WIN

@8.50

Lose

-50

Young Boys at home have been really good of late and have kept a clean sheet in all of their last 4. They average 2 goals scored per game, so 2-0 looks a sensible call here.

Great run on debut when green throughout but still managed third. The winner now has a really solid rating, so with that experience Square Necker is fully expected to follow up that run with a win here.

Patrioti Levice

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.48

Win

Levice at home are pretty strong, with 4 wins from the last 5 games. And with Rida having lost 3 of the last 4 away from home, I'll take the home win here.

17:00 Szolnoki Olaj vs AEK

AEK

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.10

Lose

-50

AEK looks a really solid call. They are on fire in the group phase with 5 wins from all 5 games so far. With a win in all 3 previous meetings, I think they should win again here.

15:30 Chris Dobey vs Xiaochen Zong

Chris Dobey

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@1.02

Win

Dobey, now ranked 8, should have a great chance of progressing through this round. Zong doesn't have a ranking yet, and class should come to the fore in this one.

Chris Dobey

Win 1st Set

50 WIN

@1.03

Win

With five straight losses, XZ looks set to lose another here. He's a class below Dobey, and I just don't see any way a massive shock happens here, so it's an easy win for the top-10 player.

Chris Dobey

Most 180s

50 WIN

@1.30

Win

Dobey looks likely to wrap this up in easy enough style, looking at the recent stats and form of both. XZ has not won his last five, so Dobey should hit the most 180s and easily win the game.

15:00 CEZ Karlovarsko vs Usti Nad Labem

CEZ Karlovarsko to win 3-0

Set Score

50 WIN

@1.62

Win

With the form and standings massively in favour of the home side, and they have the much stronger squad, so will look to continue their solid form. Away from home, Ústí nad Labem look set to struggle here.

08:10 Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Thunder T20

Hobart Hurricanes

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.67

Win

Hobart have a brilliant record in the head-to-heads. They have won all of the last 4 games, and all of them were comfortable: two 7-wicket wins, a 6-wicket win, and a 5-wicket win. I'll take them again here.
