02:00 Man City v Al Hilal Riyadh

No (BTTS)

Both Teams to Score

50 WIN

@2.10

Lose

-50

Al Hilal Riyadh have done well to reach this stage of the competition, but come up against one of the favourites to win this tournament. When City have put out a full-strength team, opponents have found it difficult to breach their defence. With Rodri back dictating things from midfield and with Domu looking better than ever, I cannot see City conceding. In the 'Both Teams to Score' market, go with the NO.

20:00 Inter Milan v Fluminense

Yes (BTTS)

Both Teams to Score

50 WIN

@2.15

Lose

-50

Prior to losing the Champions League Final, Inter Milan had scored in six consecutive matches. They have also managed to score in all three of their group fixtures. Fluminense scored at least one goal in their last seven games before coming to this tournament. Both Teams to Score is the forecast for this last sixteen game.

Fluminense & No (Result + BTTS)

Result and BTTS

50 WIN

@8.00

Win

Fluminense have looked solid in defense throughout this competition, with several experienced defenders organizing things at the back. They face an Inter Milan side who could be fatigued after a grueling finish to their campaign. With that in mind, I think Fluminense can win this game while keeping a clean sheet.

Fluminense (AH) 0.75

Asian Hcap

50 WIN

@1.92

Win

46

This could be a close game between two technically sound sides. Fluminense have a number of vastly experienced players within their squad, especially in defense. They drew two and won their other group game. Prior to this competition, they went six matches undefeated, winning five of them. Inter could be starting to feel the fatigue both physically and more so mentally, following their deflating CL beating and missing out on the domestic league title. Go with Fluminense on the Handicap.
13:00 Diana Shnaider vs Moyuka Uchijima

Diana Shnaider to win 2 - 0

Set Betting

50 WIN

@1.40

Win

20

Schneider comes into this Slam as an outsider with a genuine chance of going deep into the tournament. Tall, powerful left-hander, who is up to number 15 in the world. Uchijima is ranked 57 spots behind her and has a poor record on grass. Played only eleven career matches on grass, winning three. Schneider to win in straight sets.
11:00 Kimberly Birrell vs Donna Vekic

Donna Vekic

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.40

Win

20

Vekic is vastly experienced and reached last year's semi-final of this tournament. Birrell is more comfortable on hard courts, and this will be her main draw debut at Wimbledon. Vekic has been inconsistent this year, but she has the quality and grass court experience to win this match.

His game is about hitting greens in regulation which could be essential at this tournament. Inconsistent in recent weeks, but has posted three top five finishes this year. Won the Mitsubishi Classic and holds a good each way chance this week.

Miguel Angel Jimenez

@12.00

Win

44

Jimenez enters this tournament in fine recent form. He has won two of the last three events he has played, including winning a two-hole playoff at Firestone Country Club. He has won four titles on the Champions Tour in 2025. Justifiably up amongst the tournament favorites.
21:00 Flamengo v Bayern Munich

Flamengo & Yes (Result + BTTS)

Result and BTTS

50 WIN

@8.50

Lose

-50

Both teams to score with Flamengo winning is the forecast in this market. Flamengo looked good in winning their first couple of group matches, and in their final group game, they rested a number of players as they drew with LA FC. Bayern lost their final group match to Benfica. Flamengo look good going forward but have conceded goals in their last two fixtures. Bayern are a similar team with defensive frailties but good in attack.

Flamengo (AH) 1.00

Asian Hcap

50 WIN

@1.85

Lose

-50

After winning their first couple of games in their group, Bayern Munich surprisingly lost their final match versus Benfica. Defensively, they looked average, and I think this good Flamengo side can exploit such weaknesses. Flamengo beat Chelsea 3-1 and finished the group stage on top with seven points. With a full goal start on the handicap, Flamengo looks good value at 1.85.

-50

Akshay Bhagwan has had a good season, and over the last couple of years, has tended to start his tournaments in fine style. Once he gets his putter working, he can seriously challenge at the top of the leaderboard from the start.

Cam Davis

@81.00

Lose

-50

Cameron Davis is twice a winner at this tournament. The Australian won last year, but his form this season has been inconsistent. However, he has the game to do well this week. I don't think he can win again, but he has the putting ability to put together a low first-round score.

Keith Mitchell

-50

Keith Mitchell looks good value in the first round leader market at the price of 51.00. Not fancied to win the event outright but has a fine first 18 holes record this season. If he can get his putter working then he can feature strongly on the leaderboard after 18 holes.

Rickie Fowler

1st Round Leader

Rickie won this competition in 2023 and seems to enjoy the course. He has been putting together some low-scoring rounds in recent events. Price of 51.00 looks good value in the First Round Leader market.

Harry Hall has posted seven consecutive top 20 finishes. Top form and will be at home at this course. Great with the putter, which will be vital this week. Strong off the tee, which will set him up to claim lots of birdies. Looks good to be leading European.

Trained by Dermot Weld, who has his runners in decent form. This three-year-old filly by Wootton Bassett has had just four runs, winning a 7-furlong Cork maiden on her penultimate start. She kept on well inside the final furlong. Third last time out in a Group Three at Leopardstown. Now makes her handicap debut.
17:00 PSG v Inter Miami

No (BTTS)

Both Teams to Score

50 WIN

@1.91

Win

46

PSG have kept a clean sheet in four of their last five matches, with the other game ending in a one-nil loss. Miami did well to reach this stage, having surprised most people by beating Porto and drawing with Palmeiras. I cannot see them breaching the French defense, so in the Both Teams to Score market, go with the NO.
16:45 Italian Open

The venue for this event is one of the shorter in length courses on the Tour. Accuracy is an essential asset this week. Schafer is amongst the leaders on tour in accuracy and will be ideally suited by the course. He has gained strokes over the rest of the field in each of his last dozen appearances. Each way chance.

Englishman John Parry is a confident each-way choice in the outright market for this tournament. One of the better players on tour for iron play. Winner on the Challenge Tour at this course, so he has first-hand experience of its demands.

-25

Chelsea to win and qualify for the quarter-finals, and in doing so to cover the 0.25 of a goal handicap. Chelsea were in a more difficult group and won two matches, but were surprisingly beaten by Flamengo. Scoring goals hasn't been a problem for Chelsea with six goals already in this tournament. They also put four past Betis in the Conference League Final. They have beaten Benfica in all three previous meetings.
20:05 Toulouse v Bordeaux

Toulouse -1.50

50 WIN

@2.10

These clubs are possibly the two best teams in Europe and maybe the world. Bordeaux have had the better of recent head-to-head results, but I am taking the contrarian approach to this playoff final. Toulouse will have a full-strength squad for the first game in a while, and are my selection to win and also cover the 1.50 point handicap.

Huddersfield

50 WIN

@2.50

Lose

-50

Huddersfield had an awful start to their season, with a weak squad and no financial support to bring in fresh players. Things have got better in recent weeks. They won at Warrington last week and were desperately unlucky to narrowly lose against Wigan and Leigh. Catalan have lost their last seven consecutive matches, and their past dominant home record has gone, with only three home successes from eight. Huddersfield to win is the prediction.

Huddersfield 4.50

-50

Huddersfield Giants with a 4.50 points advantage is the selection on the Handicap. Good win last time out at Warrington and narrowly lost their previous two matches. Lost by four points in both games versus Wigan and Leigh. They have a big, strong set of forwards who could dominate things today. Catalan look a poor side with seven defeats on the bounce.

Hull are a team on the up with much improved form of late. Best away record in Super League this term, with eight wins from ten. They have won three of their last four, whereas Warrington have lost their last three games, including a heartbreaking Challenge Cup Final defeat. Hull won the previous meeting of these sides 28-16. Price of 2.75 looks value for the Hull victory.

Barbarians play their first ever game in South Africa and have picked a strong squad for this match. Six All Blacks plus several British, Irish, and French internationals play.

Dolphins were disappointing last week against Newcastle, losing 26-20 after conceding a last-minute try. Poor in defense with forty missed tackles. Rabbitohs lost a gut-wrenching golden point finish 24-25, after having recovered from being behind at halftime by a 4-12 scoreline. They also need to improve in defense. South's have their star player Walker back for this match, and this will be the first game this year they have a first-choice backline. Go with Rabbitohs on the handicap.

Parramatta are an improving team. Surprisingly, the oddsmakers have made the Dragons favorites for this contest. Defensively, the Eels are starting to get difficult to overcome, whilst in attack they are regularly managing to put points on the board. The Dragons lack consistency and haven't won at home against the Eels since 2018. In the reverse fixture, the Eels won 23-22 in round five. Eels on the handicap with a 3.50 points start.

Wakefield Trinity with a 16.50 points advantage in the Handicap spread is the selection for tonight's game.

Following a long run of success, Leeds came down to earth with a poor performance last week, resulting in a loss against St Helens. Leigh have looked good in recent weeks, strong in the forwards both with the ball in hand and also defensively. When they have lost, it has been by slender margins. Go with Leigh Leopards on the handicap with the benefit of a 6.50 points start.

Seven of the last nine meetings of these clubs have featured both sides scoring at least once. Waterford have a decent goal-scoring record but have a tendency to also concede plenty on a regular basis.

Canberra Raiders are in great form this season and have won their last five games, whilst Newcastle are a more inconsistent outfit with three wins in five. Canberra have an exciting set of backs who have put plenty of points on the scoreboard, and are my selection to win this game.

Canberra Raiders to beat Newcastle and cover the 6.50 point handicap spread is the prediction for this match. Newcastle looked improved in their last game but are the lowest scoring side in the competition. Canberra are second in the ladder and look the most consistent team in the NRL. In my mind, the Raiders look like early Grand Final contenders. They wear sides down before striking quickly.

Manly, with home advantage, should be too good for an underperforming Wests Tigers side. Sea Eagles have switched their backs around for this fixture, and it could spark an improvement from them. Wests are missing several key players, so I think Manly can win and cover the 6.50 points spread.

Pachuca must have been disappointing to lose both group games, having created plenty of goal-scoring chances in both games.

Al Hilal need a victory to give them a chance of making the next round, so they will have to come out and attack. This could leave space for this exciting Pachuca offense to hit them on the break. Pachuca have been unlucky losers in both group games, having created over 40 shots on goal in total over their two games. Pachuca with a full goal start look valuable on the Handicap.

Real Madrid are currently top of this group, and only a loss could dislodge them from the top spot. Salzburg need at least a point to progress further in the competition.

This new-look Real Madrid team have looked fallible in defense so far in this competition, scoring plenty but allowing opponents to score in both group games. Salzburg need a positive result to qualify for the next round. The Austrian side have won four and drawn one of their last six. They haven't been at their best so far in the tournament, but I expect them to adopt a more attacking policy tonight. Both Teams to Score is the forecast.
