18:30 Beitar Jerusalem v Hapoel Tel Aviv
Beitar Jerusalem (AH) -0.50
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@1.85
Win
43
BJ on the handicap looks great value here. With 4 wins and a draw in the last 5 games, and the awful away form of HTA, who have lost 3 and drawn 2 of the last 5 away, it's a home win here for me.
Beitar Jerusalem #2-1
50 WIN
@8.50
Lose
-50
With 4 wins in the last 5 games, they have conceded in 4 of the last 5 games. Expect them to do likewise here, but they should still win due to the higher league position and great form.
17:30 Crystal Palace v Fulham
Draw
50 WIN
@3.40
Win
120
Level on points in the table, but the form of Palace is poor, so I think they will set up as tough to beat here. With Fulham in good form, they will be tough to beat, so I'll take the draw here.
Draw #1-1
50 WIN
@6.50
Win
275
The draw looks a really solid call here looking at the stats. With Palace needing to get some sort of form back, but Fulham are in cracking form, so it won't be an easy game. I'll take the low-scoring draw.
Over 3.50
Total Cards
50 WIN
@1.92
Win
46
Palace are in poor form and will get physical here with Fulham. They won't shy away from anything, and with a solid midfield. With the averages of both around 2 per game, the overs look the best call here.
17:30 Liverpool v Leeds
Ethan Ampadu
Player to be Booked
50 WIN
@3.60
Win
130
4 cards in 16 games and he's likely to be given a good runaround in the middle of the park today. As he's a tough tackler, if one tackle goes awry and is a bit rash, the card will be shown.
17:00 Pustertal vs Pioneers Vorarlberg
Pustertal
Money Line
50 WIN
@1.20
Lose
-50
Pustertal looks a solid call here with a 30-point lead in the league standings and with 3 wins in their last 5 games. Voral are poor away from home with 4 losses in their last 5 away matches.
15:30 Salzburg vs EHC Black Wings Linz
Salzburg
Money Line
50 WIN
@1.36
Win
18
Salzburg have won five on the bounce and are rock solid form-wise at the moment. With a 17-point lead in the table, I think they should be able to add another win here.

-11
Although the fave looks a solid choice, I just think Wingmen will go very close here. With a better jump a couple of runs ago at Navan, he could well have won that, so I'll take the value here.
14:35 2:35 Cheltenham
Kabral Du Mathan

Was very impressive on seasonal run at Haydock and pulled nicely clear. So, with bigger sights set, needs to win here to continue the plan.

Hapoel Beer Sheva #3-1
50 WIN
@11.00
Lose
-50
It's top vs next to bottom here. With a great bit of form coming into this game, Sheva have won 4 and drawn 1 of the last 5 home games and I expect another win here.
17:45 MS Ashdod v Maccabi Haifa
Draw #3-3
50 WIN
@41.00
Lose
-50
With only 4 points between these two teams in the league standings, and goals likely as per the scoring stats, along with a poor defence for the home side, I expect a high-scoring draw.
17:30 Al Kholood v Al Hilal Riyadh
Ramiro Enrique
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@15.00
Lose
-50
If the home side scores, it's likely to be the leading scorer for the home side. He has 5 goals already this season. I think at this price it is too much value to miss.
Al Hilal Riyadh #3-1
50 WIN
@11.00
Win
500
Al Hilal are in cracking form with 5 wins from the last 5. With AK having lost 4 of the last 5, expect an away win in this one, with goals likely as per the stats for both.
17:30 Al Shabab Riyadh v Al Qadisiya Al Khubar
Yannick Carrasco
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@13.00
Lose
-50
Four goals for the Belgian international. At this level he's a class above. He leads the team with those four goals and is likely to be on the set pieces, which gives more value to the price.
Draw #2-2
50 WIN
@15.00
Lose
-50
Both teams here are very low on confidence. Their recent results have been poor. They have recorded only one win in the last 10 games between them, so I'll take the draw with goals in this one.
17:30 Maccabi Netanya v Hapoel Petach Tikva
Draw #3-3
50 WIN
@34.00
Lose
-50
Only six points between these two teams in the league standings. With goals likely, as they both score nearer two per game, I think the high-scoring draw looks a great call.
16:00 Equatorial Guinea v Algeria
Emilio Nsue
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@13.00
Lose
-50
Leads the line for EG and with a must-win game, as they have been poor so far, just to save a bit of pride. I think they may play more attacking in this one and he'll likely be on pens as well.

@SP
Lose
-50
Debut run here, but the yard are more than capable and its pedigree suggests from the family line this could well be within scope. So, although it's a punt, it would not be the biggest shock if it goes in.

MI Cape Town

50 WIN
@1.52

Cape Town have won 4 of the last 5 games and with some easy wins in that time. A strong batting lineup should beat Pretoria, who have lost 4 on the bounce.

Kindest Nation
Daily Racing
All four wins have come over this trip. With the yard in good form and the top jockey on board, she must have a great chance. She needs to bounce back from a less-than-favourable run but is more than capable.
14:35 2:35 Punchestown
Theflyingbee

The last run was very good, and the winner has gone in since off a higher weight. If he can create that run, with the track and trip to suit, he should be competitive.

Wellington look to have a great chance here. The form of both definitely suggests they should take this. With recent heavy winds and home advantage, I'll take them here.
19:30 Chelsea v Bournemouth
Draw
50 WIN
@4.60
Win
180
Chelsea have become a hot-and-cold team, and Bournemouth need to snap out of the funk they are in. They are more than capable with the quality they have, so I'll take the draw here.
19:30 Nottm Forest v Everton

50 WIN
@3.30

Everton have struggled since Grealish had been out. But with Forest also shot to pieces, I think the draw in what looks a dour game is the best option.

Guif are much lower in the league standings but do have a recent win. I think at home, where they have won the last two, they could well keep this very tight. It's a draw here for me.
18:00 Hammarby IF HF vs HK Malmo

It's a top-level game here with 2nd vs 3rd. Both are in good form, having won 3 of their last 5. I think it'll be a close game, so it's a draw for me.
18:00 OV Helsingborg HK vs Onnereds HK

Three points split these two teams in the league standings. With the form of both very similar, and scoring and defence stats also very much alike, the draw could be the sensible call in this one.

Tie
Money Line
50 WIN
@8.50

-50
4 points between these two teams in the league standings, with Skov just slightly below in the table. Both have pretty solid defenses, so this looks really tight. Both have won 2 of their last 3 games.

The Kraken are in cracking form and have now won four on the bounce. With the Canucks having lost their last match, another home win looks great value here.

CGY Flames
Money Line
50 WIN
@1.77
Win
38
4 wins from the last 5 at home for the Flames. So, although they have fewer wins than the Bruins, I think they hold a great chance at a value price here. The Bruins have lost the last 2 away from home.
02:07 NSH Predators @ UTA Mammoth
UTA Mammoth
Money Line
50 WIN
@1.71

I'll take Utah here. They have won both of the last two meetings and are at home. With Utah having won two of the last three at home, I think they should have enough to win another.
01:15 LA Rams @ ATL Falcons
Blake Corum (LA Rams)
First Touchdown Scorer
50 WIN
@10.00
Lose
-50
Although Williams takes most of the runs from scrimmage, the Rams do like Corum right on the goal line for the big bash approach. The strength of Corum came good last week when he added another TD to his tally.
00:37 EDM Oilers @ WPG Jets
WPG Jets
Money Line
50 WIN
@2.00

Although the Jets are lower in the standings, I think with home advantage they could edge this one. Edmonton, away from home, are in poor form as they have lost their last 2 and scored only 4 goals.

FLA Panthers
Money Line
50 WIN

The Panthers are only 2 wins behind the Capitals, and with home advantage I think they look really good value. The Capitals have lost 4 of their last 5 away games.
FLA Panthers -1.50

@3.00

In two of the last four away games that the Capitals have lost, they lost by 5 and 3??"4 goals. So I think that at home, with the advantage, the Panthers are good enough to win this by two clear goals.

Wimbledon are 5 points up in the league table, and with the terrible away form of Exeter, who have lost 5 straight away games, I think Wimbledon should just be able to edge this one.
19:45 Accrington Stanley v Harrogate Town
Accrington Stanley
I'll take the home win here, as the away form of Harrogate is awful. They are winless in the last five, with only three draws and two losses. Accrington have won three of their last five at home.
19:45 Blackpool v Rotherham
Blackpool (AH) -0.50

Blackpool are the form team of the league at the moment, and with 4 wins and a draw in the last 5 games I think they can beat Rotherham, who have lost 4 straight games.
19:45 Bolton v Mansfield
Bolton
Bolton are only 7 points off the top of the league and have won 3 of their last 4 games, and the Stags are lower mid-table, so I think they may struggle here.
19:45 Bradford v Port Vale
Bradford
Vale are in awful form and sit bottom of the league with only 15 points all season. Away from home they are dreadful, so at home Bradford look a solid call. They concede less than 1 goal per game.
Bradford & No (Result + BTTS)
