nico73's Tips History

12 August 2025

20:00 Benfica v Nice

Benfica (AH) -1.25

Asian Hcap

50 WIN

@1.98

Win

With a 2-0 win in the 1st leg, the home team is favored to progress again here. They have kept clean sheets in both of their competitive games so far, and I expect the same again here.

20:00 Crvena Zvezda v Lech Poznan

Crvena Zvezda (AH) -1.00

Asian Hcap

50 WIN

@1.90

Lose

-50

Red Star were outstanding in the 1st leg and come here with a 3-1 advantage. Their form is rock solid with 5 wins from the last 5, and at home, they have scored 22 goals in the last 5 home games.

19:00 Swansea v Crawley Town

Swansea (AH) -1.25

Asian Hcap

50 WIN

@1.98

Win

With Swansea winning both previous meetings, and although they lost their opening game of the season, it was a tough game. Now back at home, they are stronger with only 1 loss in the last 5, and Crawley away have lost 3 on the spin.

17:30 Barry Hawkins v Martin ODonnell

Barry Hawkins

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.29

Win

Hawkins is ranked well above his opponent here, and the previous meeting resulted in a whitewash 4-0 for the Hawks. So, I'll continue that form here.

17:30 Kyren Wilson v Iulian Boiko

Kyren Wilson

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.11

Win

Wilson is in red-hot form with 5 wins on the spin and is now ranked number 2. So against a player outside the top 100, I don't see any other result than a comfortable win here.

17:30 Zhao Xintong v Steven Hallworth

Zhao Xintong

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.12

Win

4 wins in his last 5 games and ranked over 100 places better than SH here. With a good victory in the last meeting between the 2 players, I'll take him to progress into the next round.

17:00 FK Qarabag v Shkendija Tetovo

Under 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@2.20

Lose

-50

I'll take the unders as FK Qarabag, as the stats show that in their 3 UCL qualifiers, they are yet to concede a goal. They come into this match with a 1-0 aggregate advantage and I can see another clean sheet here, which helps the low goals.

11:00 Judd Trump v Oliver Lines

Judd Trump

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.12

Lose

-50

Ranked number 1, fully expect Trump to win through here. He's won both of the last 2 meetings between the 2 players, and his quality should take him through to the next round.

11:00 Mark Selby v Long Zehuang

Mark Selby

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.25

Win

With 3 wins from the last 4 games for Selby, and he's ranked nearly 50 places higher than his opponent here, I think although a tough game is in store, he will win though.

10 August 2025

22:45 FedEx St Jude Championship

Mackenzie Hughes

1st Round Leader

50 WIN

@101.00

Lose

-50

His opening 66 at the 3M event shows he has the game, but it's just been average of late. So it's an outside chance, but hoping he clicks around this course.

Min Woo Lee

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@67.00

Lose

-50

Although poor at the Open, back on the USTour he's been solid but not outstanding. Yet his opening round 63 at the Rocket shows his ability, so I'll take another good early round here.

Patrick Rodgers

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@91.00

Lose

-50

The 15th at the Wyndham moved him up the order, and the 2nd round 63 he shot was outstanding. So, hoping he can deliver again here.

Si Woo Kim

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@67.00

Lose

-50

Two 65s at the John Deere show the class he had. Although he's been a little off form of late, this course should suit his style.

21:30 FedEx St Jude Championship

Robert MacIntyre

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@41.00

Lose

-50

Bobby Mac has been super consistent this year. With his 2nd at the US Open and 7th at the UK Open, it shows why he's now number 14 in the world ranking.

09 August 2025

20:00 OTT Redblacks @ TOR Argonauts

TOR Argonauts

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.61

Lose

-50

I'll take the Argos here as the form of both is similar. In the last 3 head-to-heads between these two teams, the home side here has won those games and looks good to do the same here.

TOR Argonauts -3.00

Point Spread

50 WIN

@1.91

Lose

-50

I think with a good win last time out at home, the Argos should have enough to cover here. They won by 14 points last home match, and Ottawa have lost 3 of the last 4 away from home.

Under 53.00

Game Totals

50 WIN

@1.91

Lose

-50

60% of the last 5 for the Redblacks away from home have seen the unders line hit at this level. With these two teams well matched and on the same points in the standings, I think points could be lower than usual here.

20:00 PSV v Sparta Rotterdam

PSV

50 WIN

@1.22

Win

PSV are in cracking form, having won all of their last 5 games. There is no reason to oppose those stats, and as arguably the strongest team in the league, they should win again here.

19:00 Slavia Prague v FK Teplice

Slavia Prague

50 WINAThis tip was used on Football 4Fold Acca.

@1.14

Win

Slavia are super strong, and the recent form backs that up with 4 wins and a draw in the last 5. They have a much stronger squad here, so they should have no issues against a team that could well struggle this season.

18:30 FC Salzburg v Grazer AK

FC Salzburg

50 WINAThis tip was used on Football 4Fold Acca.

@1.33

Win

Salzburg will be expected to win again. In the longer term, they are expected to go really close to winning the league. At home, they should have no issues in winning the season opener here.

18:30 Wang Yuchen v Hatem Yassen

Wang Yuchen

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.05

Win

Yuchen looks a class above Yassen here. Although his recent form is not the best, on his home soil he really has to be selected. I think his ability and higher ranking by over 20 places should win through.

17:45 Feyenoord v NAC

Feyenoord

50 WINAThis tip was used on Football 4Fold Acca.

@1.29

Win

Looking at the head-to-head and the last 3 meetings with Feyenoord at home, we have seen the aggregate score of 13-2 in favor of the home side. So, I will take the same again here.

17:30 Allan Taylor v Mohammed Shehab

Allan Taylor

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.44

Win

Taylor looks good value here. With 3 draws on the spin, he shows his quality at digging in. With his ability to break build, he should have too much for a player that's ranked over 20 places below him.

17:30 Anthony McGill v Oliver Brown

Anthony McGill

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.20

Win

McGill has shown his class in the past but needs to get back on this to reach that level again. With a good battling win last time, he has won both head-to-heads with an 8-1 total scoreline.

17:30 David Lilley v Chatchapong Nasa

David Lilley

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.30

Lose

-50

Lilley is in good form with only 1 loss in his last 5 games. That's the opposite of Nasa, who has lost 4 of his last 5 games. So, it's a win for the higher-ranked player for me here.

17:30 Jamie Jones v Fergal Quinn

Jamie Jones

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.18

Win

Jones is ranked over 50 places higher than Quinn. With 4 losses in the last 5 for Quinn and a good win in his last match for JJ, I think he'll win again here.

The selection is a class above in the field but really needs to show that. With the two really solid wins at the Curragh and then Ascot, it looks set to add another win here.

16:00 Viktoria Plzen v Slovacko

Viktoria Plzen

50 WINAThis tip was used on Football 4Fold Acca.

@1.20

Lose

-50

Slovacko are really up against it here with a team in Plzen who are arguably the best team in the league behind the Prague teams. With no wins away from home in their last 5, I'll take the home win here.

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.53

Win

All 4 of the last 4 for VVV have seen the goals line at the level hit. With the home side having a great home record, I fully expect them to notch a few, so goals here for me.

De Graafschap (AH) -1.00

Asian Hcap

50 WIN

@1.95

Push

I think the home side should win through here. Their form is good, with 4 games unbeaten and 9 goals scored in those 4 games. I think against a team who have only 1 win in the last 5 away from home.

De Graafschap #3-1

50 WIN

@12.00

Lose

-50

Both games between these two teams ended 3-1 to the home team last season. So I'll follow those stats, and with goals likely as per this league, the value is pretty good.

19:00 FC Den Bosch v Ajax Reserves

FC Den Bosch

50 WIN

@2.10

Win

I like the value of Den Bosch here. At home, they have lost only 1 of the last 5 and won last season's meeting 3-1. With Ajax losing all of their last 5 away matches, it's a home win here for me.

19:00 FC Eindhoven v FC Utrecht Reserves

Over 2.50

I like the overs here. With all of the last 4 meetings between these 2 teams seeing the goals line at this level hit the over, I'll follow the stats and go with the overs.

@1.09

Really like France to win here. Although they are not a big price, they are in great form with 4 wins from the last 5 and won both of the previous 2 meetings between these 2 teams.

17:30 Nurnberg v Darmstadt

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.57

Lose

-50

With 4 goals in their first match, the Darmstadt team comes here in good form, and expectations for the season are high for them. But back at home, I fully expect Nurnberg to pose a bigger threat, and they have scored in 4 of the last 5 home games.

Darmstadt (AH) -0.25

Asian Hcap

50 WIN

@2.02

Win

Think with the form of both and the goals scored per game. Even looking at last season, Darmstadt have to be taken here. And with Nurnberg having 4 straight defeats, it's an away win here for me.

Isac Lidberg

First Goalscorer

50 WIN

@7.00

Lose

-50

A hat-trick for the Swede in the 1st match and no reason to think he can't add to that here as the home team are in awful form. The 4 goals Darmstadt scored in the 1st game will boost them here.

Darmstadt #3-1

50 WIN

@17.00

Lose

-50

With 4 in their first season game and their form is rock solid against a home side who have lost 4 on the bounce, I just can't see anything other than an away win with plenty of goals in this one.

17:30 SC Preussen Munster v Paderborn

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.90

Lose

-50

Both of these two teams saw the goal lines at this level hit in their opening games. With both teams scoring at least one goal in all of their last four matches, I fully expect goals again in this one.

Paderborn & Yes (Result + BTTS)

Result and BTTS

50 WIN

@4.33

Lose

-50

PM have scored in all of their last 5, so no reason to oppose them scoring here. But the stronger team and the team in better form is Paderborn, who are unbeaten in 4 and won their opening game. So, I will take them to follow that up here.

Paderborn (AH) -0.25

Really like the value of Paderborn here in this one. Looking at the head-to-heads, they have a cracking record, having won 4 of the last 5 meetings. So, I will take them here.

Paderborn #3-1

50 WIN

@17.00

-50

I think the form in previous meetings counts for plenty here. With a good home win in the opening season game last week, I think they can win again here.

15:15 Kosovo U19 vs Hungary U19

Hungary U19

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.01

Hungary look a class above here and won easily by 25 goals in their opening group phase game. With 5 straight losses for Kosovo, I can't see them winning here.

Needs to recreate last week's win at Southwell on the all-weather to turf, but with a top jockey on board and well in at the weights. I think that's a good chance.

No previous meetings or rankings to go on, but looking at the form, although KG has lost his games, it looks like it was against some good opponents. Although it was only 1 frame, he did manage that against Maguire, who is top class.

Ross Muir

Muir is ranked just outside the top 100 and will want to continue his rise inside the top 100. He should ease past the amateur player here and win easily.

The quality of Muir should win through here, and he'll be keen to add some more points to his ranking as he looks to break into the top 100. He should win this without too much fuss.

The previous meeting is a good sign here. With that meeting ending in a 4-0 win for the ranked player, who is aiming to break into the top 100, he should ease through this first round.

@1.90

Hallworth is another player that is trying to break into the top 100. Against a player of much less ability and really just here as a local player, I think he'll win this easily.
