Just think with the quality on show, and Barca really need a result at home as it would be a big ask in the San Siro. So they'll play with an attacking flair, which should drive up the corner count.

18:00 Grindsted GIF vs SonderjyskE

Tie

Money Line

50 WIN

@8.00

Win

350

With the home side having the edge, but looking at the stats and form, there's not that much between these two teams. So let's take the value of the draw in what looks like a close game on paper.

17:45 Aalborg Handbold vs Fuchse Berlin

Tie

Money Line

50 WIN

@8.50

-50

This looks really close, and the previous meetings will back up that with both teams sharing the wins. So, I'll take the draw in what looks like a tough one to call.

17:00 Fana Women vs Larvik Women

Tie

Money Line

50 WIN

@8.00

-50

With not too much between these two teams, and the form of both teams being similar, I'll take a close game to end in a stalemate.

17:00 Warta Zawiercie vs LUK Lublin

LUK Lublin to win 3-1

Set Score

50 WIN

@7.00

Lose

-50

It's the final playoff game here, and both of the last two meetings between the two teams have ended 3-2. But with the slightly better form coming into this, I think Lublin may force an upset and take this.

16:30 Start Lublin vs Spojnia Stargard

Under 165.00

Game Totals

50 WIN

@1.83

Win

Looking at the stats for both teams and the averages of both scored and conceded, the value here is to take the unders line as per the stats.

15:00 Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings T20

Punjab Kings

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.67

Win

The Kings will go 2nd in the league table with a win here. With the Supers at the bottom with only 4 points from 9 games, I think it's a win for the visitors.

14:00 Poland vs Italy

Poland

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.25

-50

I'll take the value here with Poland, who are in cracking form with 4 wins from the last 4 games and sit top of the table in the group stages.

Poland 1.50

Puck Line

50 WIN

@1.42

Lose

-50

I think Poland has a great chance to win this match. With a start on the handicap, although much shorter, they are a decent call in my opinion.

10:00 John Higgins v Mark Williams

John Higgins

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.57

Lose

-50

Just think the safety play of Higgins is arguably the best in the business. When he has his eye on the potting side, he's nearly unstoppable, as per his early rounds when he battled through and comes here ready to go again.

John Higgins -1.50

Handicap Betting

50 WIN

@1.80

Lose

-50

With 5 wins from his last 5 games, I just think he has the mental strength to take another match here against an old rival. But I think Williams can be suspect under pressure, so it's Higgins for me here.

10:00 Leylah Fernandez vs Lucia Cortez Llorca

Leylah Fernandez

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.05

Win

Although not in the best form on paper, she's played in better events than this and is ranked over 250 places higher than LCL. So, I fully expect her quality to win through here, and LCL has lost 4 of her last 5 games.

Leylah Fernandez

1st Set Winner

50 WIN

@1.10

Win

Got to take LF here, who is ranked 25 for this event. With LCL out at over 350 in the ranks, there's just no reason to expect her to struggle here.

10:00 Zhao Xintong v Chris Wakelin

Chris Wakelin

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.90

-50

Have to take the value here with Wakelin, especially with the way he dominated the game against Allen and dropped only 6 frames to win the match.

Chris Wakelin 2.50

Handicap Betting

50 WIN

@2.00

Lose

-50

Think Wakelin with the start on the handicap is great value. Looking at his games so far, he has pretty much won all his Crucible games without too much trouble. So, it's possible he does the same again here.

Game Totals

@1.80

-50

All of the previous meetings in this series have seen at least 6 goals scored. As it sits 2-2, both teams will be keen to go and win here and start attacking, so the overs look good here.

00:30 NJ Devils @ CAR Hurricanes

CAR Hurricanes

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.40

Win

The Canes lead the series 3-1, and after a cracking 5-2 away win in NJ in the last match, they should be able to come home and make sure of the win as they have a cracking home record with 4 wins from the last 5.

29 April 2025

23:00 MIL Bucks @ IND Pacers

IND Pacers

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.29

Win

3-1 up in the series, and they have won both games in the series so far. There's no reason why they won't do the same again here, looking at the previous scores.

Quetta Gladiators

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.83

Win

The Sultans sit at the bottom of the table with 4 losses from 5 games, so I just can't have them here. With the better form of the Gladiators, I just think they'll win again here.

FH Allen (Quetta Gladiators)

Top Team1 Batsman

50 WIN

@4.00

Win

The overseas player is in really solid form, and his averages put him up there with a great chance of top scoring here. So, I'll take the value.

M Rizwan (Multan Sultans)

Top Team2 Batsman

50 WIN

@2.88

Win

Just a top-level player and outstanding with the bat and also the gloves. So as he'll be in early, just think he has the experience to have a good knock here.

15:00 Aryna Sabalenka vs Peyton Stearns

Aryna Sabalenka

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.11

Win

Got to take Aryna Sabalenka in this one as she's ranked the top place number 1 at the moment. With Peyton Stearns at 44 and 4 wins from the last 5 for Aryna Sabalenka, it should be another win here.

Aryna Sabalenka to win 2 - 0

Set Betting

50 WIN

@1.40

Win

At this level and getting to the later rounds, AS starts to mean business. With a strong win over the quality of Mertens in the last round, this could be an easier call. She won the last 2 sets, dropping only 3 games, so expect another win here.

With a decent break, it could well hit the early bends first. From there, it can extend away and has the ability and time on the clock to win this.

12:00 Diana Shnaider vs Iga Swiatek

Iga Swiatek

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.20

Win

A much better performance by the number 2 ranked Iga in her last match, which she won in straight sets and dropped only 6 games. So expect her to continue that form on a surface she likes.

Iga Swiatek to win 2 - 0

Set Betting

50 WIN

@1.57

Hoping that boost from the last win for Iga lets her continue in that form. With DS ranked below her in the rankings, I think she'll be able to take this in straight sets.

Iga Swiatek

1st Set Winner

50 WIN

@1.28

Win

The key here could be the strong, fast start. With a 6-2 first set win in her last match, Iga has that in her locker. Expect her to start quick here.

10:00 Alex De Minaur vs Denis Shapovalov

Alex De Minaur

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.25

Win

Denis has struggled on clay and against top 10 players. He really has a poor record, and ADM has really kicked in after his most successful year on clay in 2024. I fully expect that to continue here.

10:00 Aryna Sabalenka vs Peyton Stearns

Aryna Sabalenka

1st Set Winner

50 WIN

@1.20

Win

If Aryna Sabalenka starts this game as she finished the last one, I fully expect an early finish as she dropped only 3 games in 2 sets last match to go through against arguably a stronger player. So, a fast, strong start from her here for me.

10:00 Carlota Martinez Cirez vs Ajla Tomljanovic

Ajla Tomljanovic

Win Match

@1.17

CMC has lost 4 of her last 5 games. Against a player ranked over 150 places higher, expect her to struggle again. With AT having a couple of solid wins within her last 4 games, I think she'll take this here.

10:00 Petra Marcinko vs Naomi Osaka

Naomi Osaka

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.20

Win

Got to take Osaka here, who is just outside the top 50. With PM outside the top 200, I would expect the strength and all-around game of Osaka to take this one.

05:30 India Women vs South Africa Women One Day Match

India Women

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.22

Win

After another easy victory in the last match, and they won by 9 wickets, I just can't think of any way that difference changes here. I fully expect India to carry on with their awesome form.

01:00 San Martin vs Argentino Junin

Argentino Junin

AJ should not win this, but in sports, occasionally you see the upsets. With the squad and team better than recent results, just hoping they step up here and buck the trend.

I'll take the Cards to win here with their starting pitcher, who is 2-1 on the mound. But it's the 0-3 for the Reds' starting pitcher which is a worry. I just think the Cards might have enough here.

Back at A6 grade, it might have more of a chance. With that grade, given the last win, and when stepped up, it just never got the luck in running. So, it could be the value here.

Ding has to take the 1st frame and has the quality to do it. But he was totally outclassed by the potting ability in the earlier sessions. So just hoping the break has given him a chance to get at least another couple of frames.

Pang Junxu 8.50

@2.60

Ronnie only needs 1 frame to go through here. But in what is pretty much a 1 frame shootout for Pang, he's got to give everything in the first frame today to hold the slimmest of chances. So he is the value here.

Ronnie O’Sullivan to win 13-6

Just think if Pang can take the 1st frame in the session and then keep the momentum, he might nick the 2nd. But Ronnie will win without doubt. The question is just when he secures the 1 frame needed.

It's the 7th ranked vs the 99th ranked here, and MA has a really solid record here as she's been in the 4th round in all 3 of her appearances here. With 2 wins in straight sets in her last 2 games, I think she'll win through here.

Mirra Andreeva to win 2 - 0

Set Betting

50 WIN

@1.36

Just think the form and court will suit the 7th seed to continue her brilliant last year or so. I think the tough games and lengthy time played for the last couple for YS will catch up with her here.

Mirra Andreeva

1st Set Winner

@1.17

Got to take MA here. With 2 straight wins in her last 2 games, and YS has had some tough battles in her games, I think the youngster and higher-ranked player wins through here.

50 WIN

@1.87

Lose

-50

This looks like a really close match-up. But at home, the Cubs are strong with 3 wins from the last 4. They need to recover from the Phillies' loss last time. I think they'll bounce back here, and the Phillies' pitcher is winless as a starter this season.

CHI Cubs -1.50

Run Line

@2.75

Really like the value of the Cubs here, given the starting pitcher for the Phillies who is poor and winless in 5 starts on the mound. The Phillies have lost 4 of the last 5 away from home.
