Wu Yize beat Ian Burns 4-0 in the opening round, and I fancy he is in a quarter of the draw where he will make a run to the semi-finals in Edinburgh. I am siding with Wu Yize to beat Lan Yuhao this morning in this all-Chinese affair at the Scottish Open.

The Spurs beat OKC Thunder in the semifinals, and the return of Victor Wembanyama will be a huge boost. San Antonio beat the LA Lakers the game before, and I fancy they have hit top form at just the right time. I am siding with the Spurs to edge out the Knicks in this NBA Cup Final.

The San Antonio Spurs have beaten the OKC Thunder and the LA Lakers in their last two games, and I fancy they will have their eye on beating the Knicks to cap off a great week by becoming NBA Cup champions. Victor Wembanyama is their leader, and he was instrumental in the Spurs beating OKC by two points. I am siding with San Antonio to beat New York in this final.

Ricardo Pietreczko
Win Match 2-way
75 WIN
@1.73
Win

Jose De Sousa has had a really poor year, and he looks set to lose his tour card at the end of the year. Ricardo Pietreczko has won the last three head-to-heads, and I fancy the German will pick off the sets to beat "The Special One."

The German has won the last three head-to-head matches with De Sousa, and I fancy he will chip away at 'The Special One' to win this by a couple of sets. Pietreczko beat Anderson at the Players Championship, and I am siding with him to take this one 3-0 or 3-1.

Jose de Sousa has had a poor year, and it's likely to end with him losing his Tour Card ahead of the new year. Pietreczko has won the last three meetings, including a win on the floor in April. I am siding with this going no more than four sets.
Ricardo Pietreczko to win 3-1
Leg Betting

@4.33
Win

The German has won the last three head-to-heads and the last two meetings with 6-4 scorelines on the floor. Over the best-of-five sets I fancy Ricardo Pietreczko will be a couple of sets too good for De Sousa. 3-1 is the correct score to play.

A semi-finalist in Northern Ireland after reaching the final at the English Open, Zhou Yuelong is definitely trending in the right direction.

It's been a good year for Zhou Yuelong, and he has done well in these Home Nations events, reaching the final of the English Open and the semi-final in Northern Ireland. I fancy Zhou could go a long way this week in Edinburgh, and I am siding with him to win 4-2 or better.

Zak Surety
Win Match
50 WIN
@2.50
Win
75
Zak Surety was a quarter-finalist at the International Championship, and I fancy, with the Scottish Open often throwing up a surprise package, that the exciting Englishman can spring a surprise. The Captain is a little out of form right now, and I am siding with Surety to get the win.

Ali Carter failed to come through qualifying for the UK Championship, and he has had a few issues of late with his form not being great. I fancy Zak Surety will know he has a great chance of going a few rounds in this Scottish Open, and I am siding with him to beat The Captain.

Frame Betting
50 WIN
@7.00

Ali Carter lost by a couple of frames to 19-year-old Latvian Artemijs Zizins in the UK Championship qualifiers, and I fancy Zak Surety can beat the captain by a similar margin. Surety reached the quarter-finals of the International Championship, and in this best of seven I am siding with a 4??"2 win for the left-hander.

South Africa Women have won all three matches with Ireland this month, and I fancy they will go ahead and win this second One Day International. It was a seven-wicket margin of victory in the first One Day clash, and I am siding with the South Africans being too good for Ireland again.
02:40 HOU Rockets @ DEN Nuggets
DEN Nuggets
Money Line
50 WIN
@1.95
Win
47
The Nuggets have won their last four games, and they return home to Denver with a spring in their step. Houston lost to the Mavericks and the Jazz over the last two weeks. I fancy, with Denver winning the last three head-to-head, that this will be a home W.
DEN Nuggets -1.50
Pointspread
50 WIN
@1.95
Win

Denver return home after four straight wins on the road, and they were emphatic in their win over the Kings four days ago. The last three head-to-head were Nuggets wins, and with Houston losing back-to-back away, I fancy Denver to deliver at home against the Rockets.

The Mavs have won five of six before this visit to Utah. They beat the Jazz here in October by 13, thanks to a big second and third quarter. Dallas have won three of their last four visits to Utah, and I fancy they get another W tonight.

It's been over three and a half years since the Pistons won in Boston, and they have lost eight on the bounce here against the Celtics. Detroit have lost two of three away, and Boston go in search of five straight home wins. I fancy the Celtics to shine at the TD Garden.

Boston have won four in a row at home, and it included a win against tonight's opponents, the Pistons, as well as the Knicks, Magic, and Lakers. Two away defeats in three for Detroit, who have lost eight in a row in Boston. I am siding with the Celtics.

Connor Scutt
Win Match 2-way
75 WIN
@1.29
Win
22
Connor Scutt has won three of the five head-to-head meetings with Simon Whitlock, and I fancy he will be a class above the Australian, who hasn't produced near his best for a good six months. I am siding with the Englishman to outscore Whitlock, take care of business, and move into round two.
Connor Scutt -1.50
Handicap 2-way
75 WIN
@1.70
Lose
-75
The Englishman averaged 101 twelve months ago, beating Ben Robb 3-0 in the first round. I fancy he has the game to outclass Simon Whitlock. The Australian hasn't been at his best on the MODUS Super Series, and I am siding with Scutt, only dropping one set if that, to win this first-round clash.

Jonny Clayton
Win Match 2-way
100 WIN
@1.20

The Ferret reached the semi-finals of both the World Matchplay and World Grand Prix in the second half of the year. I fancy he is in a section of the draw where he will like his chances of a good run in the World Championship. Adam Lipscombe has been handed a tough opener here, and I am siding with Jonny Clayton, who looks good for victory tonight.

Jonny Clayton has found some real form since the World Matchplay. He followed a semi-final run in Blackpool with another at the World Grand Prix. The World Championship is set in a format similar to the Grand Prix, and after reaching the last 16 or better for the last four years, I fancy the Welshman will start well and beat Lipscombe in straight sets.

The Welshman has reached the last 16 or quarter-finals in the last four years at the World Championship. I fancy he is a dark horse this year given his section of the draw. Clayton reached the semi-finals of the World Grand Prix, which is a set format, and I am siding with The Ferret, picking off Adam Lipscombe to win this opener in straight sets. Under total sets is the play.

Joe O'Connor has beaten Chinese opponents the last three years in the first round. In 2022 he went all the way to the final, losing to Gary Wilson. O'Connor is the right rank here, and I am siding with the Englishman, beating his country colleague.

Joe O'Connor is the higher-ranked of the Englishmen in this Scottish Open encounter, and I fancy he will have too much for Stan Moody. O'Connor reached the final three years ago, and I am siding with him to start well and launch another challenge for this Home Nations event.

Joe O'Connor reached the final here three years ago. I am backing him ??" he can find some form returning to Scotland this week.

The Welshman beat Matthew Selt 4-2 at the Northern Ireland Open in October. Since last December, he has won both head-to-head meetings. The Englishman is on a run of seven straight defeats, and I fancy Ryan Day will find his rhythm to beat Selt in another Home Nations clash.

The Welshman has won the last two meetings with Matthew Selt over the last twelve months. The most recent was a 4-2 win in October at the Northern Ireland Open.

Si Jiahui
Win Match
75 WIN
@1.33

Three straight defeats for Mark Davis, and he lost his last two matches to Thepchaiya Un-Nooh and Jamie Clarke. I fancy that after Si Jiahui showed a little form at the UK Championship, he is going to control this match against Mark Davis.

The Chinese player beat Ryan Day 6-0 in the UK Championship. He had chances to get back into it against Judd Trump from 4-3 down. Best of seven tonight against Davis, and I am siding with Si to win this 4-2 or better.

The History Maker was a quarter-finalist in 2019 at the Ally Pally, and he gave beaten finalist MVG a game here twelve months ago. The only previous meeting with Dudeney was a 6-2 Players Championship win in October on the floor, and I fancy Brendan Dolan will be too good for the 21-year-old this afternoon.

The Northern Irishman won the only head-to-head 6-2 in October at a Players Championship event on the floor. Up on the big stage with a set-play format, I fancy Brendan Dolan will have too much in terms of quality and experience. The History Maker to win this 3-0 or 3-1 is the play.

The fourth seed reached the semi-finals last year in the PDC World Championship and he has had another great year across the European Tour and World Series. The Bullet has become much more reliable, and he has won all three previous meetings with Sebastian Bialecki. Set play should allow Bunting to get this done in straight sets against the Pole to cover the under total sets, 3-0 to the Englishman.

The South African closed with a 66 a few weeks back to finish tied 5th at the Saudi International. His last start in a co-sanctioned Sunshine Tour and DP World Tour event was a tied 4th earlier this year at the South African Open Championship. Branden Grace won this tournament in 2014 and has won multiple home events. I fancy he won’t be too far away this week at the Royal Johannesburg Club.

Tied 10th last week at the Nedbank Golf Challenge, and the South African had a good four days in Sun City. Tied 3rd in the Rolex Grand Final on the Challenge Tour, the South African has fourteen top-ten finishes this year and has multiple wins in his homeland since January. Two top-ten finishes in his last five starts at the Royal Johannesburg Club, including a runner-up. I fancy Daniel van Tonder will put four good rounds together in this Alfred Dunhill Championship.

Zhou Yuelong was a beaten finalist in 2020, losing out to Michael Holt, and he has reached the last sixteen since. He beat Ronnie O’Sullivan in the UK Championship and was a semi-finalist at the Northern Ireland Open. I fancy Yuelong is playing well enough to go one better than 2020.
20:00 Arsenal v Wolverhampton
Draw
In their last eight visits to Arsenal, there has been one win and three score draws for Wolverhampton Wanderers. They really have nothing to lose tonight, as they are expected to be easily beaten at the Emirates. Wolves got a point away to Spurs, and I fancy they dig in away to Arsenal again to pick up another North London point in this late kick-off.
17:30 Burnley v Fulham
Burnley
It was a spirited second-half display with ten men at St James' Park last weekend, and I fancy Burnley will get a much-needed win this evening at home to Fulham. The Cottagers have lost five league games in six away from home and have a really poor record away to the Clarets. Sixteen wins and three draws in the last nineteen at home to Fulham. I am siding with a much-needed win for Scott Parker’s men.
15:00 Chelsea v Everton
Everton

@5.50

The Toffees have won at Old Trafford and followed it up with a good win at home to Nottingham Forest.

15:00 Liverpool v Brighton
Brighton
75 WIN

Liverpool have conceded eight goals in their last three home games and lost to both Nottingham Forest and PSV Eindhoven. Brighton won their last away game at Nottingham Forest and have beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. They have won at Anfield in recent seasons, as well as having a couple of score draws here. I fancy they turn over a struggling Liverpool side to pile the pressure on Arne Slot.
14:30 Eintracht Frankfurt v Augsburg
Ansgar Knauff
First Goalscorer
The German scored midweek, giving Frankfurt the lead against Barcelona in the Camp Nou, and I fancy he will strike again this afternoon. Two in the Bundesliga so far this season. I am siding with Knauff as first goalscorer.
14:30 TSG Hoffenheim v Hamburg
Bazoumana Toure
First Goalscorer
The Ivory Coast striker opened the scoring in the last home game against Augsburg, and I fancy he will strike again before heading to the African Cup of Nations. I am siding with Bazoumana Touré to open the scoring.

South Africa Women won both Twenty20 matches against Ireland over the last week, and I fancy they will dominate the One Day series too. The last seven meetings have all gone the way of the South Africans, and I am siding with the hosts being too good for Ireland in East London.
