20:00 Leigh v St Helens
St Helens
To Win
50 WIN
@1.73
Lose
-50
It is virtually unheard of for St.Helens to lose four consecutive matches ,but that is the current situation. Head coach Welles's has come under some fierce criticism from certain sections of their home crowd putting him under pressure. They have had a long injury list and have brought in some of the younger players in their squad,and these youngsters have done well so far. Such is the quality at the club that I fully expect them to build upon an improved last game performance against Warrington and go to Leigh and win. Leigh have been inconsistent of late and I think they will suffer against a Saints side desperate to get back into the winning groove.
20:00 Wigan v Warrington
Wigan
To Win
50 WIN
@1.50
Lose
-50
Wigan were startled in the first half of last weeks defeat at Hull,as they quickly went 18 points behind. In the second half they got back to something resembling this excellent Wigan side,but eventually lost by a two point margin. Prior to that they had won ten games on the bounce. Warrington look a strong contender and in recent games have been superb. They will be without several key players through injuries and suspension. Wigan to get back to winning ways is the prediction.
Wigan -5.50
Handicap (2-way)
50 WIN
@1.91
Lose
-50
Wigan put in their worst 40 minutes performance of the season in the first half of last weeks loss at Hull. Got things almost back to normal in the second half but they will be determined to start much better against Warrington tonight. Wigan have a great home record and do well in head to heads with tonight's opposition. Warrington are a much improved team especially in defence,but they have a number of players missing through injury ,which could be decisive tonight against the World Club champions. Wigan to win and cover the 5.50 points handicap.
19:45 Club Brugge v KV Mechelen
KV Mechelen (AH) 1.25
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@1.92
Win
46
Mechelen travel to the reigning league champions Club Brugge tonight as big underdogs. Mechelen finished just six points behind tonight's host in the regular season. Both head to heads last season finished all square and I can see a similar outcome tonight. Lib Brugge lost last week in the Super Cup so confidence could be lowered. Mechelen with a 1.25 goals start on the Handicap is the choice.
19:45 Drogheda United v Waterford FC
Waterford FC (AH) 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@2.10
Lose
-50
Drogheda have a poor recent record in this league,having lost seven of their last nine fixtures in this division. On the road Waterford have a decent record with four wins in their last eight away matches. With the draw taken out of the equation Waterford look a decent wager on the Handicap at 2.10.
11:00 Parramatta Eels v Melbourne Storm
Melbourne Storm -17.50
Handicap (2-way)
50 WIN
@1.91
Win
46
Parramatta are having a terrible season with some awful displays which have led to them being at the foot of the points table. The management have already indicated that there will be wholesale changes made to the playing squad and their captain has been relieved of his duties. Melbourne have put 40 + points on the board in the last couple of head to heads with the Eels and will be ruthless again. Storm to win and cover the 17.50 points spread.
09:00 New Zealand Warriors v Wests Tigers
Wests Tigers 12.50
Handicap (2-way)
50 WIN
@1.91
Win
46
For long periods of their last match the Wests Tigers played some fine rugby and put 28 points on the board but still conceded over 40 points again. They have conceded over 40 points in all of their last four matches. Head coach of the Tigers Benfica Marshall has made several changes and also welcomes back a couple of their better quality players. NZ Warriors are an inconsistent side and have struggled when put in as pre match favourites. Covered only 4 of 16 when being asked to cover by more than a six point margin. Won only three of their last nine when favourites. Tigers best results have come against teams in the bottom half of the table,won 10 of their last 15. Tigers with a 12.50 points start is the selection.

@2.05
Win

Brenda like are strongly fancied to win . Won their last two but defensively they look fragile,and have conceded at least one goal in each of their last seven fixtures. The Icelandic side came through their qualifier with both games having at least four goals in them. Five of Breidabliks last seven home league matches have had more than two goals scored in them. Three of Kosovan side Dritas last five away league games have had at least three goals scored and they will struggle against a more skilful side. Over 2.50 total goals is the forecast.
20:00 Huddersfield v Leeds
Huddersfield
To Win
50 WIN
@2.30
Lose
-50
Following a run of indifferent form Huddersfield came back to form with a good display in their victory over Salford last week. They have won their last three head to heads with Leeds and with home advantage ,the price of 2.30 for a Giants win looks decent value. Leeds have a new head coach and there were signs of improvement last week in their first game for him. However several lapses of concentration and intensity let them down.
19:00 Panathinaikos v Botev Plovdiv
Over 2.50

Panathinaikos had eight of their last ten matches of last season finish with more than two goals in them. Botev Plovdiv if Bulgaria have already had both European games and their first league fixture go over two goals. They had four of their final five games in domestic football last season all with three or more goals scored. Go Over 2.50 total goals tonight.

CFR Cluj have been scoring goals for fun of late. They have scored eleven goals in their last three home matches,and their have been four or more scored in total in their last two games. Neman have also got into the habit of scoring in the vast majority of games,having found the back of the net in six of their last seven fixtures. Go Over 2.50 total goals.
18:30 Manchester Originals vs Welsh Fire The Hundred
T Kohler-Cadmore (Welsh Fire)
Top Team1 Batsman
50 WIN
@4.00
Lose
-50
Tom Ko(let-Canmore has hit four scores of 20 plus in his last five limited overs innings. He is a big hitter who will probably either open the innings or come in at the fall of the first wicket. In what looks a below par batting line up take Koehler Canmore to top score.
WL Madsen (Manchester Originals)
Top Team2 Batsman
50 WIN
@5.00
Lose
-50
Manchester Originals have a superb top batting line up and in Salt and Buttler they have two of the top seven ranked batters in the world t20 rankings. Wayne Madsen is a vastly experienced batter who plays for Derbyshire but tonight if he gets in to bat early enough then he can quickly change the outcome of this match. He is in excellent t20 form with four recent knocks of over 20.
18:00 FC Zurich v Shelbourne
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@1.67
Win
34
Zurich finished fourth in the Swiss League last season and with Swiss football currently experiencing a high they will be confident of comfortably winning this tie. Since the appointment of a new head coach Zurich they won five consecutive games,scoring at least twice in all of them. Shel our e found the back of the net in both games in the previous round and scored in all of their last ten league fixtures. Defensively they will find things difficult tonight and I see plenty of goals in this match. Take the Over 2.50 match goals at 1.67.
18:00 Sheriff Tiraspol v Elfsborg

@1.80

Elfsborg are going well in both domestic and European competition. They have been scoring lots of goals, managing to score at least three in all of their last five matches. Sherif Tiraspol have a good home record and have scored in 14 of their last 15 home fixtures in all competitions. Sherif have had four of their last five home league games finish with at least three goals scored. Over 2.50 total goals is the prediction.

@2.50

-50
This race looks on paper to be between the top two in the betting forecast. My preference is for Sizemore Arturo who come s into this race having won her last 5hree races. Trained by Daniel Kubler who is in fine recent form and has a useful record at this track. William Buick takes the ride. He also has top strike rate at Sandown and is in good current form. Despite a penalty for last success my selection looks to still be ahead of the handicapper.

Greek side PAOK should have far too much firepower for Bosnian side Borac. PAOK have played five friendlies in the build up to this game with four of them containing more than two goals. In their last six league matches five had at least three goals scored in them. Borac had their last game finish 2-2 and in their league season all of their last five fixtures have seen three or more goals scored. Over 2,50 match goals is the forecast for this match.
