00:00 Antigua and Barbuda Falcons vs St Lucia Kings T20
St Lucia Kings
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.80
Void
0
St. Lucia Kings are the reigning CPL champions after beating Amazon Warriors in the final. This will be their first game in this year's competition. Antigua have one win from two matches after beating Barbados in their last game. St. Lucia have won both previous meetings of these teams. With Johnson Charles leading from the front with the bat, the Kings have several high-quality T20 batters in their squad, which should prove too good for Antigua.

At Senegal, they will be aiming to finish this campaign a place higher in the points table than what they did over the last two years. They finished second in the standings both times. They have added some quality strikers to their squad and look set to push the likes of Liverpool and Man City hard. United have made several changes to their side over the last couple of months. Whether they work is debatable though. Go with Arsenal to win.

Trinbago to beat St. Kitts in their tournament opening match. The batting of St. Kitts has been disappointing so far in their two matches played, with only Andre Fletcher making a score of over 40. They will also be minus Evin Lewis due to injury. Trinbago reached the playoffs last year before losing in the Eliminator match. Captained by Nicholas Pooran, Trinbago have several players with vast experience of playing T20 franchise cricket around the world. Trinbago have won three of the four head-to-heads.

Hull had a poor start to their season following a terrible campaign the previous term. Leigh have done well considering their relatively new squad. They are both in the top five in the standings. Leigh have had the better of recent head-to-heads, and I marginally prefer the chances of the Leopards.

After being outplayed in the first test match versus the Lions, Australia showed great character to get narrowly beaten in the second match and then played superb rugby to win the third test. They had the likes of Skelton back for that victory, and their pack looked really strong. I think they can keep the Boks' forwards under control and give themselves a chance of winning this game. On the handicap, the Wallabies receive a 16.50 points start, which looks the value way to bet on this match.

Australia looked a much improved team when beating the British and Irish Lions in their last match. Their forwards were excellent and dominated the lineouts. If they play as well today, then they can keep the scoreline close and minimize scoring opportunities for the South Africans. Go under 55.50 total match points.

Bradford started their League One campaign with a home win against Wycombe, in front of 20,000 fans. They drew last weekend's game at Northampton, before winning at Blackburn in midweek. Luton have also started well with two wins, but with strong home support, I think that City can either draw or win this game.

Brighton have a great opening game of the season record, and although they have lost two strikers in the summer, they seem to have recruited well. Fulham finished last season in poor form, losing five of their last seven matches. They don't seem to have strengthened their squad. Brighton to start their campaign with a win.

Boro have struggled on the road over the last couple of years. Lost four of their last six away games in this division. Under Alex Neill, Millwall are starting to put together some good results, especially so in the intimidating New Den atmosphere. Started this season with a good win at Norwich, after having won six of their last seven home fixtures. Boro were thrashed 0-4 in midweek by Doncaster in the League Cup. Millwall to claim all three points.

@2.20

Wednesday look in dire trouble financially, and that is reflected in the current lack of quality in their playing squad. They have to put several younger players in the squad. They scraped a midweek penalty shootout victory at Bolton Wanderers in the League Cup, but the Trotters had to play the majority of the game with only ten players. I think Stoke can exploit the defensive frailties of the home side.
15:00 Sunderland v West Ham
West Ham

Newly promoted Sunderland will have a long, arduous battle to avoid going straight back down this season. The hosts have brought in ten new players but have lost a couple of their more influential players as well. It may take them some time to find their best starting side. West Ham have also made numerous changes to their squad, but I feel that coach Graham Potter will have started to put together a younger, more athletic set of players, which could pay dividends. West Ham are unbeaten in the last eight head-to-heads and are my selection to edge it today.

Tottenham were excellent for 70 minutes against PSG and led two-nil up until the closing stages. Under new manager Frank, they seem more committed and play with energy, giving the opposition less time on the ball. Defensively, they are better organized. Newly promoted Burnley will be difficult to break down, and Spurs will have to be patient. A win for Spurs is the prediction.

Watford lost their opening league game 0-1 at Charlton Athletic. This comes after they sacked their previous manager. QPR played well last week in their 1-1 home draw with Preston. They have several offensive players with lots of pace, which will trouble a sluggish home defense. Watford also lost their midweek game in the League Cup, and I think QPR look value on the handicap with a 0.50 of a goal start.

Wigan look like they can mount a serious promotion challenge this term, with manager Ryan Lowe having recruited well. Strong home record, only lost one of the last seven home league matches. Posh have made a worrying start to their league season, with two straight defeats, and are without a win in nine matches. Wigan to win.

Aston Villa to beat Newcastle is the forecast. Villa have won five of the last six home head-to-heads against the Geordies. Both sides have had difficult off-seasons, Newcastle particularly so with all the debate around Isak, their star striker. Their build-up obviously suffered as they went without a win in their six pre-season friendlies. Villa fared better, winning three and drawing twice.

Both of these teams are stuck in the bottom section of the points table with no chance of claiming a playoff berth. These sides have both been involved in close finishes in recent games, with the Eels' last three games decided by less than six points. The Rabbitohs have had two of their last three fixtures end with only a two-point margin. Parramatta have done well against teams in the lower reaches of the standings. They have won six of their last seven against teams in the bottom half of the table. The Eels are in good current form, beating the Broncos in Brisbane and narrowly losing out to Melbourne Storm. They narrowly beat the Cowboys last week and are my selection to win.

Dolphins look decent value at 2.15 to beat local rivals, the Broncos. Brisbane will be without regular starting halfbacks, Ezra Mam and Adam Reynolds. This will severely affect the Broncos' attacking options, whereas the Dolphins have one of the best attacking backlines in the NRL. I expect the Dolphins to come back strongly in this local derby following their 12-64 thrashing last week.

In the five head-to-heads played since the Dolphins joined the NRL, all five games ended with 46 or fewer total points having been scored. Three of the Dolphins' last six matches have gone under the forecast spread, and the Broncos have had five of their last six matches end with under 43 total points in the games. Under 49.50 total points is the forecast.

Cronulla have an 18-9 win/loss record in head-to-heads versus the Gold Coast Titans. The Sharks tend to dominate things in terms of physicality against the Titans, who don't seem capable of dealing with the Sharks' power in defense and also when in possession. Cronulla have won four of their last five games and are my prediction to win again.

Guyana to beat St. Kitts is the prediction for this T20 game. Amazon Warriors have won four of the last five past meetings with the Patriots. Guyana reached the final of this tournament last season and look well set to go one step further this year. Strong batting lineup and backed up by a high-class spin bowling attack led by Motie and Moeen Ali. St. Kitts have been disappointing in recent seasons with only two wins in 19 since the start of 2023.

Reigning champions Liverpool to start their defence of the title with a win is the prediction. The hosts have invested heavily in some top quality players and should prove to be as good as ever.

Canterbury are in third position in the standings some six places and five wins ahead of Sydney Roosters. Roosters have won their last two games but overall have been inconsistent this season. Bulldogs have won four of their last five matches and although head to head results have been fairly equal I think that with such a strong defence the Bulldogs can win this match to go level on points with second placed Melbourne. Canterbury have the best defensive record in the league in terms of points conceded and the adage is that defence wins titles.

Very rarely do Melbourne Storm start a game as underdogs, but such is the case in this fixture. Panthers have won their last five NRL games, whilst the Storm have won four from five. Head-to-head results are fairly even, and this could be a tight finish between the top two in-form sides in the league. Melbourne have developed the habit of nearly always managing to scrape out a victory from seemingly looking down and out. With that in mind, I am going for Storm with a 4.50 points start on the handicap.
