20:00 Hull v Coventry
Hull
50 WIN
@+340
Lose
-50
I am going to take on the leaders here tonight. Yes, they are in great form, but these runs usually come to an end. Why not tonight, with the hosts sitting fifth, just five points adrift of second place?
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-149
Lose
-50
Both teams have scored in 13 of Hull’s 20 English Championship home games this season. Coventry have been BTTS in 12 of their 20 league games away from home.
19:45 Napoli v AC Milan
Draw
50 WIN
@+200
Lose
-50
Tough game to call tonight. With leaders Inter hitting a poor run of form, this has let these two teams have a chance of catching them. Should be a cracker tonight, but I do fancy a hard-fought draw.
15:00 Barrow v Chesterfield
Barrow
50 WIN
@+250
Lose
-50
I will go with the hosts here, hoping they can do us a favour as they host seventh-placed Chesterfield. The hosts are fighting like mad to climb out of the bottom two, with a win and a draw in their last two games.
15:00 Crawley Town v Grimsby
Crawley Town
50 WIN
@+209
Lose
-50
I am going for another side that will hopefully help us out with a win against a promotion rival who lost at home to the bottom side on Saturday. The hosts are now under a new manager who has already made a difference with back-to-back wins to see them climb four points and three places above the bottom two.
15:00 Crewe v Salford City
Salford City
50 WIN
@+129
Lose
-50
I will go with the form book here. The visitors are sitting fifth with back-to-back wins, making it four in five. The hosts are up and down, and another defeat on Friday sees them drop to ninth.
15:00 Fleetwood Town v Barnet
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-124
Win
40
BTTS has landed in 16 of Fleetwood’s 20 league matches this season. Both teams have scored in four of Barnet’s last five games in English League Two.
15:00 Gateshead v Scunthorpe
Draw
50 WIN
@+300
Lose
-50
An interesting game, with the hosts on a four-game run of form since the start of the new year. They were bottom of the table and now sit 19th, six points above the bottom four. They host a side sitting fifth and safely in the top seven.
15:00 Halifax v Tamworth
Halifax
50 WIN
@+104
Lose
-50
Bug battle here and our near neighbours Tamworth sit tenth in great form but 11 points away from seventh place with just four games to play. The hosts bounced back from a defeat with a win over the weekend and sit a place and three points behind seventh-placed Southend. They might edge this battle.
15:00 Harrogate Town v Bristol Rovers
Harrogate Town
50 WIN
@+170
Lose
-50
Again, here I am going against the form book. Yes, the visitors are on a great run with four wins on the bounce, but the hosts sit bottom. They are now a point away from safety after a great win at promotion-chasing Grimsby on Saturday.
15:00 Hartlepool v Rochdale
Rochdale
50 WIN
@-117
Lose
-50
Rochdale were knocked off the top of the table over the weekend by York on goal difference, so will be looking to put that right today as they visit ninth-place Hartlepool, who have lost and drawn their last two games and are now seven points away from seventh place.
15:00 Morecambe v Carlisle
Morecambe
50 WIN
@+279
Lose
-50
I am going to take a chance on the hosts here. They host a side sitting third but can't finish any higher and could only draw over the weekend. Morecambe won Saturday and are a point below fourth bottom and six points adrift of moving out of the bottom four.
15:00 Notts County v Newport County
Draw
50 WIN
@+332
Lose
-50
This won't be an easy win for promotion-chasing hosts today. Yes, they sit fourth but have two defeats in three games. The visitors are fighting mad to stay up and gave us a hard game a couple of weeks ago. They are third bottom, a point above the bottom two, who have also started to find form.
15:00 Sutton Utd v Southend
Southend
50 WIN
@-124
Win
40
Another side that is looking to finish in the top seven are the visitors, who have seen back-to-back wins see them move into the final play-off place, but only have a three-point gap to the teams chasing. The hosts are nearly safe, so it looks like a good chance for the visitors.
15:00 Swindon v Walsall
Walsall
50 WIN
@+259
Lose
-50
We really should have beaten Gillingham on Good Friday, but ended up drawing. We are running out of games and now need to win all our remaining matches, starting with this tough trip to Swindon. We beat them at our place, and we drew here last season. I will take a chance on us.
15:00 Tranmere v Colchester
Tranmere
50 WIN
@+220
Lose
-50
Again, here I will go with the team that might want the win more, and that is the hosts. They are sitting fourth-bottom and winless in five, but this might be a chance to get that win. Colchester seem to have given up on the play-offs after five games without a win.
15:00 Truro City v Forest Green
Forest Green
50 WIN
@-136
Lose
-50
The visitors started the season off really well, sitting in the top seven and top of the table for some weeks. They now sit sixth, but form has picked up and they might make it three wins on the bounce today, as they visit the bottom side who are already relegated.
15:00 York v Altrincham
York (AH) -2.25
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-102
Lose
-50
I was going to tip the hosts to win, but the odds are too stingy, so I will go with the handicap. They finally got back to the top of the table over the weekend on goal difference, and the visitors are winless in four, sitting 16th.
13:00 Millwall v Norwich
Millwall
50 WIN
@+114
Lose
-50
Huge game for the hosts, who have been on a great run of form. They climbed into second place over the weekend with another win. They are only a point ahead of Middlesbrough, who lost again. They host a Norwich side still trying to make an attempt to finish sixth, sitting nine points away. So it won't be easy for the hosts, but on current form they will win again.

Another of the weekend European games that will see BTTS happening. The hosts have seen it in four of their last six Ligue 1 games, and it's six from 10 for the visitors.
19:05 Judd Trump v Zhao Xintong
Judd Trump
Win Match
50 WIN
@+200

-50
I will take a chance on Trump today to win this final, but it's likely to be a real battle. If Trump is not near his best, he might not get over the line.
Judd Trump 2.50

I will also add this selection too, as we have seen how good Zhao is and that he will be one of the top players on the circuit for years to come. Hopefully Trump will find a way to win, but I do think this match will go the distance.
Judd Trump 10-9
Frame Betting
50 WIN
@+600

I have to go with this frame score today. If Trump is to win this final, there's every chance he will need to go the distance to do it.
16:30 Dundee v Celtic
Celtic
50 WIN
@-175
Win
28
Low odds here for a Celtic win, and they really need to win to keep hold of an outside chance of retaining the title. This won't be easy for them today.
16:30 West Ham v Leeds
Draw
50 WIN
@+250
Win
125
These two sides take a break from their relegation battles in the Premier League today, and this looks like a very difficult game to call. A draw appeals to me, with the Hammers' three FA Cup ties this season all going past regulation time, and their previous Premier League games here have all been draws. Leeds have also drawn eight of their past 10 away trips in all competitions.
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-149
Win

I am also going with BTTS in this cup tie today. BTTS has happened in 10 of their 15 PL home games. Leeds have seen it happen in 9 of 15 PL away trips.

20:00 Atletico Madrid v Barcelona
Draw
50 WIN
@+300
Lose
-50
Huge game in Spain tonight. The pressure is off the visitors after Real Madrid lost an easy-looking game earlier. The hosts have been very strong at home, sit fourth, and beat the visitors the last time they met here. There has not been a draw in five meetings, so we might be due one tonight.
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-263
Win
19
I am with the bookies here and expecting goals tonight in this massive game. The hosts have been scoring lots of goals this season at home, and they have seen BTTS happen in four of their last five games. The visitors have as well.
17:30 Real Betis v Espanyol
Real Betis
50 WIN
@-136
Lose
-50
The hosts are in fifth place in the Europa League places despite no wins in five, and they should put that right here tonight against a visiting side sitting third bottom.
17:15 Chelsea v Port Vale
Chelsea
50 WIN
@-1666
Win
3
Very short odds for the hosts today against an L1 side sitting bottom of it and looking like falling back to L2, so we can have a derby double next season. Has to be a home win.
15:15 Mallorca v Real Madrid
Real Madrid
50 WIN
@-166
Lose
-50
Short odds on the visitors, who sit second behind Barcelona with a four-point gap. A win today for Real will put some pressure on the leaders. The hosts sit third-bottom.
Yes (BTTS)

Another of today's games that might see BTTS happening. The hosts have seen BTTS in 10 of their 14 LaLiga home games, and it's happened in six of Real Madrid's last 8 LaLiga games.
15:00 Edinburgh City v Spartans FC
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-136
Lose
-50
Good chance of BTTS happening here today, with the hosts seeing it in 12 of their 15 league home games. It's happened in 12 of their 15 away league games as visitors.
15:00 Rangers v Dundee Utd
Rangers
50 WIN
@-400
Win
12
Rangers sit second, three points behind leaders Hearts. A win today will see them go top on goal difference, as the leaders aren't playing. The visitors shouldn't trouble them, sitting seventh.
12:45 Man City v Liverpool
Man City
50 WIN
@-133
Win
38
The best tie of the four quarter-finals. What a tough game to call. To make it tougher, both sides have injury problems. It's likely to be close. I was going with a draw, but I have changed my mind.

Huge derby game tonight with both sides in the promotion battle. Yes, the hosts are looking like champions, but Derby are in very good form and will be hard to beat tonight.

This Midlands derby tonight does promise goals. The reverse meeting saw 8 goals, with Coventry winning 5-3. Both teams could score again tonight.

I am going to add this selection, as the hosts can now see the finishing line in their bid to win the Championship and promotion to the Premier League. There is every chance both teams will score.
15:00 Birmingham v Blackburn
Birmingham
50 WIN
@-105
Lose
-50
Our hosts up the road from us seem to have blown their chances of promotion like we have. But like us, they still have an outside chance. They need a really good run with lots of wins and to hope other teams help them with poor results.
15:00 Leicester v Preston
Leicester
50 WIN
@-105
Lose
-50
Another big game for the hosts, and one they need to win or they will be starting next season in League One. Current form is not great, but the visitors have little to play for.
12:30 Middlesbrough v Millwall
Middlesbrough
50 WIN
@-136

-50
Massive game at the top of the table, with out-of-form hosts sitting second but badly needing a win against a side that could be hard to beat for the fourth-place visitors.

20:00 Cambridge Utd v Swindon
Cambridge Utd
50 WIN
@-136
Lose
-50
A big game that affects us, with us trying to get into the play-off places. These two have dropped down to fourth and fifth after spending time in the top two this season. It's likely to be close, and home advantage might be key. A home win will see them move up to second place.

I think this promotion battle tonight will be very entertaining. Both sides are going for a top-three finish and have seen plenty of games with overs, with lots of goalmouth incidents.

As I have gone with overs here tonight in this promotion six-pointer, I think we will see both sides going all out for the three points. We should see plenty of chances and goals.
19:45 Wigan v Leyton Orient
Leyton Orient
50 WIN
@+229
Lose
-50
Form book pick for me tonight, with the visitors reacting really well to a poor run. They dropped towards the relegation dogfight but might be eyeing a late chase for the final play-off place on current form. The hosts will be fighting too as they try to keep out of the bottom four.

I am also going with both sides finding the net here tonight. Both sides will want to win: the hosts to keep out of the bottom four, and the in-form visitors who might be eyeing a late dash for the final play-off place.
