Martinez to beat Dzumhur is the forecast for this match. Martinez leads 1??"0 in completed head-to-heads, that win coming on clay. Martinez had to retire injured in their only other meeting. Dzumhur has lost five of his last six matches. He played the Buenos Aires tournament last week but only managed to win a total of five games in his first-round loss. Martinez lost in the quarterfinals last week, having been a losing semifinalist a year ago.

Zhang is in good current form, having won the Challenger tournament in Brisbane. He didn't drop a single set throughout the tournament. Carballés Baena had to win two qualifying matches to reach this stage, and I think that this will be as far as he goes.

@-188

Zimbabwe had a massive, surprise win over Australia in their last match to give them a great chance of qualifying for the next stage of this World Cup. Victory over Ireland will guarantee that place. Ireland have one win from three games played and only have an outside chance of progressing. Zimbabwe were the victors the last time these sides met in T20 cricket and have won three of the last four meetings in white-ball cricket. Zimbabwe have the momentum going forward and are my selection to win today.

Rio Ave have lost five of their last six league fixtures, failing to score in any of those five losses. Moreirense have a strong record versus teams in the lower reaches of this division. Rio Ave have won just once in their last eight games, whereas Moreirense have won three of their last six. Moreirense to win.

Middlesbrough are the selection to win this top-of-the-table clash. They have won their last six consecutive Championship matches and scored 16 goals in those victories. This great run of form has put them two points above Coventry in the standings. Coventry's recent form has dropped off; they have picked up eight points from their last nine league games.
19:45 Cagliari v Lecce
Cagliari

A win for Cagliari is the forecast for this Serie A game. Cagliari are in 12th position in the league table, with Lecce involved in a battle to avoid relegation. Cagliari have won three and drawn two of their last six home fixtures. On the road, Lecce have picked up only one point from their last six matches. Scoring goals has been a major problem on their travels: one goal scored in their last six away matches. Cagliari have won the last couple of head-to-heads with Lecce.

Sri Lanka sit on top of Group B with two wins from two. Australia lost their last match and could struggle in Pallekele against the Sri Lankan spinners today. Zimbabwe were comfortable victors over the Aussies and Sri Lanka will be a tougher test. If Sri Lanka can post a decent score then I am confident that their quality spinners can tie down the opposition batting. Sri Lanka to win.

Lyon to beat Nice is the forecast for this fixture. Lyon are third in the standings with a strong chance of qualifying for next season's Champions League. Nice have been disappointing this term and are back in 14th place. At home, Lyon have won eight of ten home matches played, with a goal difference of 17??"7. Nice have struggled on the road with only two wins in ten, conceding 24 goals in those ten away games. Lyon have won three and drawn one of the last five home meetings with Nice. Lyon are a potential banker to win tonight.

Third-placed Napoli host Roma, who are one spot and three points behind. Napoli are unbeaten at home this league season. They picked up 27 points from eleven home fixtures, only conceding nine goals.

Currently only one place separates these clubs in the league table, with North sides in good recent form. Sparta have lost just one of their last eight league fixtures, winning six and drawing one.

Udinese to beat Sassuolo is the prediction for this Serie A match. In head-to-heads, Sassuolo have won just one of the last ten meetings.

Lens have surprised many experts with their strong challenge for this league title. They have won 13 of their last 14 league fixtures.

There have already been a couple of surprise results in this first round of Super League fixtures. Toulouse beat both fellow promoted clubs toward the end of last season and have picked up a couple of good results versus Trinity in past head-to-heads. Wakefield had a good home record last term but could be a bit rusty going into this opening game. Go with Toulouse with a 24.50-point start on the handicap.

England to beat Scotland at Murrayfield is the confident selection, despite a poor recent record in Edinburgh. England now have the look of a squad with a multitude of high-quality options in all positions. Squad strength could be vital as this tournament develops.

I reckon that England look great value on the handicap market, only being asked to give up an 8.5 point start. Scotland in recent meetings have managed to disrupt England's attacking patterns. Such are the options available to the visitors that I cannot envisage the Scottish defence holding out.

Seven of Scotland's last ten internationals have finished with there having been 50+ points scored. England have had their last four matches all with a minimum of 50 points on the scoreboard. Two of the last three head-to-heads have also gone over 50 total points. Over 47.50 total points is the prediction.

Racing are in ninth place in this division after sixteen games, two places and six points above Bayonne. Bayonne are experiencing a recent drop-off in form and have lost their last five competitive fixtures. Racing have won their last three, scoring over 30 points in all three. This could turn out to be a close call, but with a start of 7.50 points Racing look a good value wager on the handicap.

Pau are having an excellent league campaign. They are currently in second place behind Toulouse. Perpignan are second bottom of the league table and have only won three of sixteen matches played. They have lost five home games already and have only scored an average of 18 points per home game. Pau have the second-best away record in this league. Pau have won four of the last five head-to-heads versus Perpignan and are my selection to win this fixture.

Pompey are fighting hard to climb away from the relegation zone. Decent home record. Unbeaten in their last five home league games, winning three.

Tranmere are in the midst of a woeful run of results. They have lost their last six league matches. Defensively, they have conceded 14 goals in those six losses. Crawley have improved of late and have picked up four points from their last two away games. An away win for Crawley is the forecast.

Leverkusen have already beaten St. Pauli twice this season and are favoured to win again today. The hosts are sixth in the standings, with St. Pauli in 17th position.

SV Hamburg are the selection to beat Union Berlin at the Volksparkstadion. Hamburg are only three points above the relegation zone, but their home form is so good that they are predicted victors of today's game. Union are three places ahead of the hosts. Hamburg are unbeaten in their last six league matches. Union have been struggling in recent weeks, losing two of their last three and drawing the other.

Italy look decent value at 9.00 to pull off a surprise win in Dublin this afternoon. They were excellent in withstanding the Scottish fightback last week. Italy won two of four matches played in last year's Autumn internationals. They were unlucky to narrowly lose to Ireland the last time these countries met. Ireland looked poor for 60 minutes of last week's game against France. Some people said it was France who were outstanding, but there is a train of thought that Ireland were bad. I favour the latter opinion; hence the reason why I am siding with Italy.
Italy 17.50

You have to go back to 2013 for the last time Italy beat Ireland, but they can go close in this match. Italy were excellent last week when holding off Scotland, and they had a couple of good wins in the autumn internationals. Ireland took a first-half hammering against France in their opening Six Nations game. They came a bit in the early stages of the second half, but I think Ireland look vulnerable, with a number of their older players not at their best. Go with Italy with a 17.50-point advantage on the handicap.

I expect this match to have a closer finish than what is being predicted by several experts. Italy were strong in defence versus Scotland. Only once in their last five games have Italy had more than 50 total points in a game, and that was against a weak Chile side. Ireland's last five matches have seen 51 points or lapses in four of them.

Fiorentina are down in 18th position. Como are also into the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia, having beaten Napoli in the last round. Como have won seven and drawn two of their last ten fixtures. Fiorentina are struggling defensively and have managed only one clean sheet in their last ten games. Como have won the last three meetings between these clubs.
