19:00 Damir Dzumhur vs Pedro Martinez

Pedro Martinez

Win Match

50 WIN

@-149

Lose

-50

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.

A consistent runner from the Alex Hales yard. Ridden by Brian Carver. Finished in the frame four times and won once in the last six outings. Has three hurdles wins and three more places from twelve races over hurdles. All three career wins have come over today's trip from only four runs, and all wins came on similar going.

Zhizhen Zhang

Win Match

50 WIN

@-124

Win

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.

Kalinskaya was a finalist at this event two years ago. She beat Gauff in an earlier round. Kalinskaya has won seven of eleven matches played this year. Gauff has lost her last two matches and has looked out of form. Kalinskaya to upset the odds and beat Gauff.
09:30 Ireland vs Zimbabwe World Cup

Zimbabwe

Win Match

50 WIN

@-188

Void

0

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.

20:15 Rio Ave v Moreirense

Moreirense

50 WIN

@+139

Win

70

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.
20:00 Coventry v Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough

50 WIN

@+200

Lose

-50

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

50 WIN

@+137

Lose

-50

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.

Has been a revelation since being fitted with a visor. Two wins from two runs. On board is Callum Bewley, who has been on board when winning the last two races. Trained by D. Bourke. Last win came at Sedgefield over two miles one furlong. Made all throughout and was eased down to win by an easy 7½ lengths, 12 days ago. Could still be ahead of the handicapper.
13:30 Sri Lanka vs Australia World Cup

Sri Lanka

Win Match

50 WIN

@+187

Win

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.
15 February 2026
19:45 Lyon v Nice

Lyon

50 WIN

@-124

Win

40

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.
19:45 Napoli v Roma

Napoli

50 WIN

@+160

Lose

-50

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. On the road, Roma have lost five of twelve played. Napoli are unbeaten in seven home head-to-heads with Roma and are my choice to win tonight.
15:45 Sparta Rotterdam v NEC

Sparta Rotterdam

50 WIN

@+154

Void

0

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. Nijmegen have a similar record. Sparta are unbeaten in the last nine home head-to-heads with today's opposition, winning six, and are my selection to win today.
11:30 Udinese v Sassuolo

Udinese

50 WIN

@+150

-50

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. On their travels this campaign, Sassuolo have only won once in their last six league fixtures. Udinese are the team in better current form, with three wins and a draw in their last five games.

Lens

50 WIN

@-105

Win

47

Lens have surprised many experts with their strong challenge for this league title. They have won 13 of their last 14 league fixtures. Paris FC have a poor home record, the third worst in this division. Seven home games without a win is their current record. Lens to win and continue their title challenge.
20:00 Wakefield Trinity v Toulouse Olympique

Toulouse Olympique 24.50

Handicap (2-way)

50 WIN

@-124

Win

40

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. Scotland will try to nullify the offensive capabilities of England but will struggle, especially in the forwards.

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.

Portsmouth

@+229

Pompey are fighting hard to climb away from the relegation zone. Decent home record. Unbeaten in their last five home league games, winning three. On their travels, the Blades have found it difficult to keep clean sheets, resulting in a poor away record. No clean sheet in any of their last seven road games. Home win for Portsmouth.
15:00 Preston v Watford

North End are unbeaten in the last four head-to-heads with Watford and are the selection to win at Deepdale this afternoon. The Lilywhites beat Portsmouth last week and have several more players available for selection today. Watford are without a win in their last six Championship games.

QPR will be aiming to take all three points against relegation-threatened Rovers and boost their play-off hopes. Rangers have only lost one of their last six. At home, QPR have won six of their previous eight games. They have beaten Blackburn four of the last six times at Loftus Road. Managerless Rovers haven't won any of their last seven league matches. Home win.
15:00 Tranmere v Crawley Town

Crawley Town

-50

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.
14:30 Bayer Leverkusen v St Pauli

Bayer Leverkusen

50 WIN

@-188

Win

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. Leverkusen have won four and drawn one of their last six home matches, whilst St. Pauli have struggled on the road, lost four and drawn two of their last six.
14:30 Hamburg v Union Berlin

Hamburg

50 WIN

@+150

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.
14:30 TSG Hoffenheim v SC Freiburg

Hoffenheim have a strong home league record. They have won their last seven home matches. Freiburg have a poor away record and have lost four of their last six road trips. They have leaked goals throughout their away travel this season. Hoffenheim to win is the selection.

@+800

-50

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

Handicap

50 WIN

@-124

Win

40

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.

Como to beat Fiorentina is the forecast for this game. Como are currently in sixth place in the league table and have a good chance of claiming a European qualification place. 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.

AC Milan to win. ISA and maintain their pursuit of local rivals Inter at the top of the league is the prediction. Pisa are battling to avoid relegation and are currently second bottom of the points table. At home, Pisa have managed one success from twelve league matches, scoring only three goals in total in those dozen home fixtures. On the road, Milan have picked up 26 points from twelve games and are unbeaten on their travels.

Borussia Dortmund to beat Mainz is the forecast. Second in the Bundesliga, Dortmund have a strong home record once again this season. Unbeaten at home, picking up 26 points from ten home games. Mainz are back in fourteenth spot in the standings, some 27 points behind tonight's hosts. On the road, Mainz have won two matches from ten played.

Sakkari has pulled off some big upset wins at this tournament this year, but I think this will be as far as she goes. Muchova is in fine current form. She has won all four head-to-heads in the last four years. Two went to a third set, but such is her greater all-round court skill that I see Muchova winning and covering the games-won handicap.

This is the fourth time that Ostapenko has reached the semifinals of this tournament. She is a frustrating player to watch, as she is inconsistent and erratic. She had won only four matches since last year's Wimbledon in the run-up to this event. Mboko is among the biggest improvers in the women's game. She beat Rybakina in the last round and has won 12 of 15 matches played this year. She is up to number 12 in the world, with her opponent at number 24. Mboko to win
