07 December 2025
15:30 Gateshead v Walsall
Draw
50 WIN
@5.00
Lose
-50
As usual I hate tipping us on here, and yes, we should win sitting top of L2, and the hosts are really struggling in the Conference. But it's the FA Cup, so I will take a chance on the draw.
15:00 Celtic v Hearts
Draw
50 WIN
@4.40
Lose
-50
The top two meet here today, with the visitors hoping to remain comfortably top of the table. Celtic have a new manager in charge again today, so I will go with a draw.
14:30 Boreham Wood v Newport County
Boreham Wood
50 WIN
@1.80
Win
40
A definite chance of an upset here, with the hosts going well in the Conference, hosting a side sitting bottom of L2.
14:00 Brighton v West Ham
Brighton
50 WIN
@1.62
Lose
-50
West Ham have shown much improved form of late and will be hoping to do so again today. But the hosts are also in good form, and I think they will be too strong here today.
Danny Welbeck
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@5.50
Lose
-50
This guy is having a great season so far and is the main man for the hosts. He has already scored seven goals this season and is likely to get plenty of chances today.
13:00 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Max Verstappen
Win Race
50 WIN
@1.36
Win
18
I don't know what to expect from today's race. Yes, any of the top three can win, but with Lando starting second on the grid he only needs to finish top three to take the title. Verstappen is usually very good at maintaining first spot from first on the grid.
Oscar Piastri
Win Race
50 EW
@9.00
Win
83
Lando's teammate still has an outside chance of winning the title today. Likewise, Verstappen can win too, so both should be battling away from the off. At nice odds, it's a nice we-pick.
George Russell - No
Podium Finish
50 WIN
@1.53
Win
26
Russell could finish the season with a podium finish from fourth on the grid, but it would need massive mistakes or car problems from the top three for it to happen.
Lando Norris - Yes
Podium Finish
50 WIN
@1.30
Win
15
I have to put Norris in too, as he starts second on the grid. He knows a top-three finish will secure the title, whoever wins the race today.
Max Verstappen - Yes
Podium Finish
50 WIN
@1.11
Win
5
I have to go with Verstappen, as I have backed him to win the race today starting from pole position. Barring errors or car problems.
Lando Norris - Yes
Points Finish
50 WIN
@1.05
Win
3
Very short odds, but I have to go with the driver who only needs to finish top three to take the title. He's starting from second on the grid.
Max Verstappen
Fastest Lap
50 WIN
@3.25
Lose
-50
George Russell - Yes
Top 6 Finish
50 WIN
@1.17
Win

Hopefully Russell will drive well today from fourth on the grid, and at his best he could finish on the podium as well.

19:00 Mark Selby v Shaun Murphy
Mark Selby
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.67
Win
34
I have been behind both players through the week, and now they play each other. They have played twice over the last few months, and Murphy has won both 6-1 and 6-0, so Selby will be looking for revenge tonight. We saw Murphy have a bad spell last night and nearly throw it away. He also made hard work of beating Higgins.

17:30 Leeds v Liverpool
Liverpool
50 WIN
@1.91
Lose
-50
It's been an awful season so far for Liverpool, and another poor midweek draw at home to Sunderland sees them drop to eighth place. They badly need a win, and it won't be easy here tonight with Leeds beating Chelsea midweek. This is a risky pick, but I will go with the visitors. I'm not very confident about it.
Hugo Ekitike
Anytime Goalscorer
50 WIN
@2.50
Win
75
Liverpool badly need a pick-me-up win. Again, they have created lots of chances, and this guy is the big-money summer signing who has looked like a very good player in a poor side. But he's spent time on the bench, as have plenty of the team, given their poor form.
Under 10.00
Total Corners
50 WIN
@1.82
Win

I am going U/33s with the corners. Leeds played Chelsea here in midweek and there were only six corners, so I'm not expecting many more tonight with Liverpool in such poor form.

@1.75

Again, I'm going unders with the cards, as well as Leeds' midweek win over Chelsea. That game saw just two cards dealt out by the ref.
17:30 RB Leipzig v Eintracht Frankfurt
RB Leipzig
50 WIN
@1.78
Win
39
The hosts are big favourites here tonight as they try to bounce back to winning form after a 0-0 stalemate. They are the best chance to try to catch up with Bayern Munich, and they should win tonight.
17:30 Real Betis v Barcelona
Barcelona
50 WIN
@1.83
Win
41
The visitors are looking to strengthen their lead at the top of the table tonight, but the hosts are in good form. They always tend to struggle against Barcelona.
Ferran Torres
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@6.25
Lose
-50
This guy is the one to watch tonight for the visitors. He has already scored 8 goals for the visitors, scoring six times in the last five games.
17:15 Sutton Utd v Shrewsbury
Shrewsbury
50 WIN
@2.30
Lose
-50
Us Saddlers don't like the Shrews. We've never really gotten on over many years, and it's always a big derby game when we do meet. They face a tricky FA Cup trip to a team struggling in the Conference, and they might just edge this tie today.
15:00 Blackburn v Sheff Wed
Blackburn
50 WIN
@1.67
Void
0
The visitors still have big problems despite the new ownership and sit bottom. The hosts badly need a win, with nine in five seeing them drop into the bottom half.
15:00 Bournemouth v Chelsea
Bournemouth
50 WIN
@3.45
Lose
-50
I am going with a home win here today despite the hosts' current poor run. They are usually very strong here, and Chelsea are very up and down, as we saw midweek losing 3-1 at Leeds.
Bournemouth & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
@5.50

-50
Nice odds here in a match that should provide goals despite Chelsea's poor form. They do find the net but also concede. The hosts are in good form and especially strong here.
Antoine Semenyo
Anytime Goalscorer
50 WIN
@3.00
Lose
-50
I have to go with this guy, who is a massive player for the hosts and is due another goal today after a blank run without one following a great start to the season.
15:00 Cheltenham v Buxton
Cheltenham
50 WIN
@1.65
Win
32
Another L2 v non-league and the hosts badly need a pick-me-up win as they are really struggling in the bottom three, so this might be just what they need today to get their season going.
15:00 Everton v Nottm Forest
Everton
50 WIN
@2.15
Win
57
Another tough game to call, but the hosts have hit some good form and are looking for back-to-back wins today. Forest are still struggling but did win at Wolves in midweek. They will find it tougher here today.
Everton & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
@4.75
Lose
-50
Again here at very nice odds, and I have gone with a home win. The hosts sprung a surprise win at Bournemouth midweek. The visitors are fighting to stay up and do score goals on the road.
15:00 Fleetwood Town v Luton
Luton
50 WIN
@1.91
Lose
-50
The hosts are in League Two but are not doing very well. The visitors are in League One and are also struggling after relegation. They might view this game as a chance to get their season going.
15:00 Grimsby v Wealdstone
Grimsby
50 WIN
@1.65
Win
32
Possible mini giant-killing today, but the hosts are going well in League Two. They're battling in the promotion battle and should win.
15:00 Ipswich v Coventry
Coventry
50 WIN
@3.25
Lose
-50
I have to go with Coventry here, who are in fantastic form, sitting seven points clear at the top of the table. Ipswich have found it tough after relegation and have failed to win their last two.
15:00 Man City v Sunderland
Man City
50 WIN
@1.30
Win
15
City are finding their form but are still not at their best. We saw that midweek at Fulham, where they nearly let them back into the game. Sunderland are doing very well too and drew at Liverpool midweek. But City should win today.
Man City & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
@2.75
Lose
-50
Again, here I will add this selection as I have gone with a home win here. The City defence has not been anywhere near its best in recent weeks. The visitors have been in great form and are scoring goals at home and on the road.
Erling Haaland
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@3.20
Lose
-50
Haaland had been on a bit of a dry run in recent games after a superb start to the season, but he was back in form at Fulham in midweek, scoring the first goal.
15:00 Milton Keynes Dons v Oldham
Milton Keynes Dons
50 WIN
@1.85
Win
43
All League Two tie and the hosts have taken some time to get going after spending lots of money in the summer building their team, but they have recently found form to move into the top three. The hosts are a League Two side who came up from the Conference via the play-offs but have struggled.
15:00 Newcastle v Burnley
Newcastle
50 WIN
@1.33
Win
17
I have to go with a home win here today. The hosts are in decent form, especially at home, and Burnley sit second bottom, losing their last five.
Nick Woltemade
Anytime Goalscorer
50 WIN
@1.91
Lose
-50
This guy has been a great replacement for Isak and has settled in really well. He is scoring plenty of goals so far, and I expect a few goals from the hosts today.
15:00 Preston v Wrexham
Draw
50 WIN
@3.25
Win
112
I'm going with a draw here today. The hosts sit fifth and the visitors are 11th. Current form is very similar, so it's going to be a tough battle.
15:00 Sheff Utd v Stoke
Stoke
50 WIN
@3.70
Lose
-50
Nice odds for an away win here today, with the visitors sitting fourth despite a drop in form. A win at strugglers Sheff Utd could see the Potters move into third.
15:00 Southampton v Birmingham
Birmingham
50 WIN
@2.95
Lose
-50
Birmingham have hit form again and are climbing back up the table to 8th place. The hosts have also picked up form with four wins on the bounce, but they lost their last game, which might affect them today.
15:00 Stockport v Cambridge Utd
Stockport
50 WIN
@1.80
Lose
-50
We have another L1 vs L2. The hosts are doing well in the L1 promotion battle, but the visitors are doing okay in L2, so it might be close. It's a home win for me.
15:00 Swindon v Bolton
Bolton
50 WIN
@1.95
Lose
-50
Another tricky tie, with League Two promotion chasers hosting League One promotion chasers. It's likely to be a cracker and it might be tight. I'll side with the visitors.
15:00 Tottenham v Brentford
Tottenham
50 WIN
@2.40
Win
70
Another tricky tie today, with it being a big London derby and the new Spurs manager up against his former club. It's going to be a real battle. I was thinking a draw, but I think Spurs might edge it.
Tottenham & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
@4.75
Lose
-50
I will add this selection to my match-winner pick, where I have gone with a home win. But there's a really good chance of both sides scoring today. The visitors have a habit of scoring in nearly all their games.
Igor Thiago
Anytime Goalscorer
50 WIN
@2.88
Lose
-50
This is the main guy for the visitors this season, and he should get chances today with Spurs' ropey defence. The visitors will attack as they always do.
Igor Thiago
Player to be Booked
50 WIN
@3.40
Lose
-50
This guy is the main man up front for the visitors, but he does put himself about and gets plenty of tackles in matches. With it being a derby game, he's worth taking a chance on picking up a yellow card today.
15:00 Wigan v Barrow
Wigan
50 WIN
@1.65
Lose
-50
I will go with the form book here. We have a mid-table League One side versus a League Two side struggling in the bottom half. It has to be a home win for me.
14:30 Augsburg v Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen
50 WIN
@2.10
Lose
-50
I have to go with an away win here, as the hosts are dangerously close to the bottom of the table and they might slip to the bottom. The visitors are in great form.
14:30 VfB Stuttgart v Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich
50 WIN
@1.60
Win

There seems to be no stopping the visitors again this season. They are in great form and look like they will run away with the title. They should win again today.
13:00 Judd Trump v Neil Robertson
Judd Trump
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.57
Win
28
We are now at semi-finals day, and this match should be a huge battle between world numbers one and three. It's likely to be close, but world number one Trump is in great form and beat Robertson earlier in the season and should do so again.
