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.

@8.50

-50

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

Handicap Betting

50 WIN

@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

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

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

@1.98

-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

-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.

Square Necker

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

-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.

15 December 2025

FC Porto

50 WINAThis tip was used on Football 4Fold Acca.

Porto look strong here. With much better form and the home advantage, which??"looking at the stats??"is a real bonus, as Estrela Amadora are poor away from home.

08:10 Melbourne Renegades vs Brisbane Heat T20

Melbourne Renegades

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.91

Win

The Heat are in pretty poor form with 4 losses from the last 5 games. With the Renegades having won their last match by 3 wickets, they come into this in form.

05:00 Bangladesh U19 vs Nepal U19 One Day Match

Bangladesh U19

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.10

Win

Nepal just don't have the squad that Bangladesh have. The young Bangladesh side have some serious players and are much stronger in both batting and bowling, so I think they should ease through here.

00:10 SAC Kings @ MIN Timberwolves

MIN Timberwolves

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.22

Win

The Timberwolves are 10 wins ahead in the standings and, with 4 wins in their last 5 games, are in great form. That's the opposite for the Kings, who have lost 4 of their last 5.

14 December 2025

23:30 Argentino Junin vs La Union Formosa

La Union Formosa

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.11

Win

AJ have only 1 win in 9 games and sit rock bottom of the table, so no reason to think they'll win here against LU, who are 3rd in the table and have won 4 of their last 5.

Comes here off a long break, but the last run did show some of the old promise. With that drop in grade to this level, if he can avoid getting tied into an early pace battle, he could well upset the odds in this one.

22:00 Minas vs Sao Jose

Minas to win 3-0

Set Score

50 WIN

@2.20

Win

Minas are much lower in the standings than expected, but they have started to hit a little form. With 2 wins in the last 2, and both of those without losing a set, I just think they will follow suit again here.

-50

Returns from a break here but looks ready to strip nice and fit. Comes here off the back of the debut win. With likely battles up front for the lead, the style of the race should set up nicely for IMJ to come late and take this.

21:25 IND Colts @ SEA Seahawks

SEA Seahawks

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.09

Win

The Seahawks have looked super strong all season. With the Colts in freefall and using a 44-year-old QB, this should be a home win for the Hawks.

SEA Seahawks - SEA Seahawks

Double Result

50 WIN

@1.42

Lose

There's no way that I see anything other than a Hawks win. They have four wins in their last five games, a shutout in their last game, and 44 points stacked up before that.

21:25 TEN Titans @ SF 49ers

SF 49ers

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.12

Win

The 49ers have won 4 of their last 5 as they push toward the postseason. They are in a tough NFC West and are one game off the top but still behind two teams.

SF 49ers - SF 49ers

Double Result

50 WIN

@1.44

Win

Really think the 49ers will dominate from the off here. With a win, they could go joint top of the NFC West. With the Titans' season already dead, I just can't see them doing anything here.

Christian McCaffrey (SF 49ers)

Anytime Touchdown Scorer

50 WIN

@1.36

CMC looks set to add another TD to his total here as the 49ers look way too strong for the Titans, who have only 2 wins from 13 games and are already eliminated from the playoffs.

Super consistent and not outside the top 2 in his last 5 runs. With the yard in really solid form of late, he has the pace to win this from the front.

21:00 Stephen Bunting vs Sebastian Bialecki

Stephen Bunting

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@1.11

Win

Bunting is a class above and well above in the ranking. He's also in decent form and, as he's expected to go well into the latter stages, I think he'll go through unscathed from the first round.

Stephen Bunting

Most 180s

50 WIN

@1.13

Win

Bunting's averages are well above the standard, and as he's also ranked way higher than SB, I think he'll be able to hit the max easily and take this.

20:40 CHA Hornets @ CLE Cavaliers

CLE Cavaliers

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.18

Lose

-50

The Hornets away have struggled and have lost 4 of the last 5. With the Cavs at home and they are 8 wins ahead, I think they should win again in this one.

Nacho Elvira

25 EW

@101.00

Lose

-50

Did OK last week in the Nedbank, and although he didn't start well, he did get better as the week went on. So with that in the locker, if he can start with something like the 67 final round he had last week, that puts him right in the mix for a first-round lead here.

Rocco Repetto Taylor

25 EW

@101.00

Lose

-50

The young Taylor has been pretty solid of late. A T23 at the Aussie Open two weeks ago showed his class, and the closing 68 really showed his ability to play under some pressure. If he can start with something like that, it could lead to an early advantage here.

Aldrich Potgieter

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@34.00

Lose

-50

Started really well last week in the Nedbank. That opening 69 included a bogey, so could have been better, but the four birdies show his quality. He could start well again here.

13:15 Alfred Dunhill Championship

Eugenio Lopez Chacarra

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@51.00

Win

925

Six top-50 finishes in a row and now showing his form at the top level. He had a top-30 last week in the Nedbank, where his closing round of 69 with three birdies on what was a tough day can help him here. The course looks suited to his style, and I think he could go really well early here.

Nacho Elvira

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@81.00

Lose

-50

His final-round 67 at last week's Nedbank shows the ability he has. He's now been on the tour long enough and has enough quality to get a really solid set of results going.

Shaun Norris

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@51.00

Lose

-50

Played really well last week and ended tied 5th. That was a really solid opening which set his tone for the week. That 68 included a double bogey 7 on his 2nd hole, so his score should arguably have been even better.
