11 December 2024
20:00 West Brom v Coventry
West Brom (AH) -0.25
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@1.97
Win
49
West Brom are unbeaten in their last 11 league games played, so they are an incredibly tough side to beat. But they do only have 1 win and 10 draws in that period. They have been victims to a tough stretch of fixtures for a while now. Here at home against a Coventry side still finding their feet under new management, I like them to grind out a long-awaited 3 points haul.
14:50 2:50 Hexham
High Moon
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@7.00
Lose
-50
High Moon is trending in the right direction with finishes of 5th and 3rd in the last two outings. Coming in here, the drop back to a more familiar distance should aid the cause here, as perhaps found the extra trip a bit too much last time out. But still, it was more than credible with the 3rd placed finish. Looks the one to beat here to me.
12:50 12:50 Hexham
Fromheretoeternity
Daily Racing
50 WINNB
@1.73
Win
36
2 wins and a runner-up finish inside the last 4 outings for Fromheretoeternity. Definitely better suited to this 2m distance where it has done most of its good work. So happy to be on side here at justifiable odds-on in my eyes.
12:35 12:35 Hereford
Supasunrise
Daily Racing
50 WINNAP
@7.50
Lose
-50
Supasunrise has been knocking on the door since returning to action in October with finishes of 2nd, 5th, and 3rd leading into today. It has a great chase record overall with 9 podium finishes from just 18 outings, including 2 wins.

19:45 Solihull Moors v Aldershot
Solihull Moors
50 WIN
@1.85
Win
43
Aldershot have been really poor away from home in the league, losing 3 of their last 4 and conceding 12 goals while doing so. Solihull Moors, meanwhile, have turned a corner of late with 2 wins and a draw from their last 4 home league games and look good for a home win here this evening.
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@1.57
Win
28
Solihull Moors have seen 8 of their last 10 home league games played end as BTTS YES games. So I think this is the clear side to be on here this evening.
Solihull Moors & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
@3.25
Win
112
I like Solihull Moors & Yes for the home win here in a game where both sides score. Each of their last 4 home league games have ended BTTS YES and they have won 2 of those 4.
Solihull Moors #4-2
50 WIN
@41.00
Lose
-50
Solihull Moors to win a high-scoring game by a couple of goals here this evening. They have scored 12 goals in their last 4 home league games and host an Aldershot side who have conceded 12 in their last 4 away league games.

20:00 Northampton v Peterborough
Draw
50 WIN
@3.80
Lose
-50
Northampton are unbeaten in their last 3 home league games, so I think they can take something from an out-of-form Peterborough side here. Peterborough have usually gotten the better of them in recent seasons, but Posh are winless in their last 5 away league games. So, I think this one could well end all square.
20:00 West Ham v Wolverhampton
Draw
50 WIN
@3.90
Lose
-50
Both sides are struggling of late, and both managers are under severe pressure to save their jobs. I can see that tension filtering onto the pitch and resulting in a cagey match if it is close come the last 30 minutes or so, possibly ending in an unsatisfactory draw for both.
Aaron Wan Bissaka
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@56.00
Lose
-50
Aaron Wan-Bissaka has scored in 2 of his last 3 league games. He has never been much of a regular threat but seems to be clearly operating in a more advanced role when off the ball. I think he could expose Wolves down his side here tonight as Aït Nouri does often leave lots of space behind him to take advantage of.
19:45 Metz v Dunkerque
Draw
50 WIN
@3.80
Lose
-50
Metz are still unbeaten at home in the league this season with 4 wins and 3 draws to this point. But here I think it could be the latter of those outcomes, and they end the night with 4 of each as they host a Dunkerque side who have only lost 2 of their last 12 league games played.
Under 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@1.85
Win

Metz games of late have been cautious affairs, with them now having seen each of their last 6 league games end with less than 2.5 goals scored.
18:45 6:45 Wolverhampton
Con Te Partiro
Daily Racing
50 WINNB
@6.00
Lose
-50
Con Te Partiro has 5 wins and a couple of runner-up finishes from just 12 all-weather outings, which is a fantastic record by anybody's measure. 2 wins and a runner-up inside the last 4 outings show the more recent form is there too.
17:00 5:00 Newcastle
Altmore
Daily Racing
50 WINNAP
@5.50
Lose
-50
2 wins from the last 3 outings for Altmore and was 4th here on debut from 9 runners in November last year, which was mostly down to a poor start.

23:15 Hero World Challenge
Akshay Bhatia
25 EW
@34.00
Win
140
Akshay Bhatia arrives here with better and more recent form than most, having competed in Japan and went close to winning with a runner-up finish. He has the imagination sometimes needed around this course, weather-dependent, to do well.
Keegan Bradley
25 EW
@34.00
Lose
-50
Keegan Bradley will enjoy the more relaxed nature of this event more than most and still has the motivation to win the event as his hero Tiger Woods hosts. It is rare with his upcoming Ryder Cup duties for Keegan to get an off week and despite being an intense player on the course, he does often play his best golf when the shackles are off.
Nick Dunlap
25 EW
@41.00
Lose
-50
One of the lesser-known players in the field, but already a multiple-time winner on tour, Nick Dunlap will be more hungry than most to get the win this week and show he belongs in this company, which he most certainly does. His hot putter can push him to victory this week.
Sahith Theegala
25 EW
@26.00
Lose
-50
Sahith Theegala rarely gets the credit he deserves. His performance at the Tour Championship, where off of base scoring he was the second-best player of the week, still lingers. I think he can take a win here and set himself up for what could be a big 2025.
Sungjae Im
50 WIN
@15.00
Lose
-50
Sungjae Im ended the season in great form with 7 finishes of T13 or better in his last 9 events played. He could well ball strike his way to victory here this week.
19:45 St Etienne v Marseille
Draw
50 WIN
@4.20
Lose
-50
Marseille have been great away from home in the league this season with 6 wins from 7 played. But here they travel to a St Etienne side with an equally strong home record, as they have won 4 of their last 5 on their own patch. So I think they cancel each other out and it ends up with a point each.
19:15 WDF World Championship 2024
Carl Wilkinson
25 EW
@151.00
Lose
-50
Carl Wilkinson won the British Open earlier this year and beat some good caliber players along the way to doing so, with wins over the likes of Nick Fullwell and Jim McEwan along the way. He has a difficult opening round game here, but if he can get through it, he catapults his way into a really nice section that could open up. He certainly has the game to match anyone in this field.
Shane McGuirk
50 WIN
@10.00
Win
450
Shane McGuirk is, in my eyes, the best player in his half of the draw and a huge beneficiary of the flawed seedings for this year's event, which sees what is, in truth, a false top seed, Porter, in his half. I think he stands a good shot at making it all the way to the final, and then we take our chances from there. He is going to be sharper than most coming in, having played a lot of darts this year across Pro Tour, Challenge Tour, and MSS darts.
18:00 CAR Panthers @ PHI Eagles
PHI Eagles -13.50
Point Spread
50 WIN
@1.91
Lose
-50
PHI Eagles have been in great form with them now on a streak of 8 straight wins. Their defense is looking tight enough for me to back them to cover this line here while winning yet again.
18:00 CLE Browns @ PIT Steelers
PIT Steelers -6.50
Point Spread
50 WIN
@1.91
Win
46
PIT Steelers -6.5 points looks good to me here with their current form of 6 wins from their last 7. The visitors, Browns, have allowed an average of 31.66 points over their last three games.
18:00 LV Raiders @ TB Buccaneers
LV Raiders Over 19.50
Team Points 2-Way (Away)
50 WIN
@1.87
Lose
-50
TB Buccaneers have allowed a points total more than this line set here for the opposition in 5 of their 6 home games so far this season. So I like LV Raiders Over +19.5 points.
18:00 NO Saints @ NY Giants
NO Saints Under 23.50
Team Points 2-Way (Away)
50 WIN
@1.87
Win
44
NO Saints under +23.5 points looks the play to me here in this one. They have fallen short of this line in 3 of their last 4 road games, and the other they only just surpassed it with a total of 24.
18:00 NY Jets @ MIA Dolphins
NY Jets Over 19.50
Team Points 2-Way (Away)
50 WIN
@1.87
Win
44
I like NY Jets over +19.5 points here as they, even in defeats of late, have been passing this threshold with them going past this line in 4 of their last 5 matches played.
17:30 Hradec Kralove v Banik Ostrava
Draw
Hradec Kralove have drawn 4 of their last 8 league matches played and 2 of their last 3 at home, so a difficult side to beat even if they themselves don't win a great percentage of games. This looks like a draw to me with them at home.
17:01 5:01 Sheffield
Acomb Felix
Daily Races
50 WIN
@2.62
Lose
-50
Acomb Felix has been in fine form of late with 2 wins as well as a couple of runner-up finishes in the last handful of outings. Looks the one to beat here to me.
16:30 NK Osijek v NK Lokomotiva Zagreb
Over 2.50
Total Goals
NK Osijek have seen 6 of their last 8 league games played finish up with more goals than the line set here, so siding with the over in this one.
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN

BTTS YES has been a regular occurrence for this NK Osijek side of late, with 7 of their last 8 league games ending as such.
NK Osijek & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
@3.75
Lose
-50
NK Osijek & Yes looks good to me here for the home win in a game where both sides score. This has been the outcome when NK Lokomotiva Zagreb have traveled to both Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split in the league this season, and Osijek are a similar level of opposition.
NK Osijek #3-1
50 WIN
@15.00
Lose
-50
NK Osijek to win by a couple of goals margin here. Playing at home, where they have impressed this season and have 3 wins from their last 4, and just generally have a far superior attacking arsenal than their visitors.
16:30 TSG Hoffenheim v SC Freiburg
Draw
Neither side is loaded with confidence right now, and both have just 1 league win in their last 5 matches played. So, I think this one will be a bit of a drab affair and can see it ending in a sharing of the spoils.
15:30 Nedbank Golf Challenge
Jesper Svensson
25 EW
@41.00
Lose
-50
Jesper Svensson makes his bow here at the Nedbank, which is the only mark against him this week in my eyes. His precision-based game is well-suited, and in truth, the course is pretty much there in front of you. So I can comfortably side with a debutant here on this track more than most.
Thorbjorn Olesen
50 WIN
@19.00
Lose
-50
Thorbjørn Olesen has had a very good year, and his ball striking has improved immeasurably. He will be coming here looking to improve on his 3rd place finish last year, and I like his chances of doing so.
Thorbjorn Olesen
1st Round Leader
50 WIN
@26.00
Lose
-50
Thorbjorn Olesen ticks all the boxes this week of having great form, great knowledge and history of the course. I think he could well get out in front early here and possibly even go wire to wire.

Choctaw Tony had a good leg stretcher of an outing here when 3rd last time out after a couple of weeks break and should be all the better for it here today. A winner as recently as third to last outing.

Traprain Law has 5 podium finishes from 6 previous chase outings, including a couple of wins, and looks the clear class of the field here.
14:00 Fulham v Arsenal
Raul Jimenez
Anytime Goalscorer
50 WIN
@4.50
Win
175
I like Raul Jimenez to score anytime here with a couple of vulnerable pieces in the Arsenal defense to take advantage of in Partey and Kiwior, and a bit of a softer center in general with Jorginho in midfield as well.
Raul Jimenez
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@11.00
Win

Raul Jimenez led the line for Fulham, who have been impressive at home this season. I like them to get after this Arsenal side with Marco Silva's positive approach. His sides usually funnel the chances to their central striker, which today is Jimenez.
14:00 HNK Sibenik v HNK Rijeka
Over 2.50
Total Goals
HNK Sibenik have seen 6 of their last 7 league games played end with more than 2.5 goals scored. So the over looks good value here at a decent clip of odds against.
Yes (BTTS)

@2.40

After drawing back-to-back blanks, HNK Sibenik have now scored in their last 2 league matches played. So I like them to contribute here, making the BTTS YES look good value to me as they rarely keep clean sheets at the other end.
HNK Rijeka & Yes (Result + BTTS)

HNK Rijeka & Yes for the away win in a game where both sides score looks the play to me here. They have won 9 of the last 10 meetings between these sides, and 3 of the last 6 of those wins were by a BTTS YES route.
HNK Rijeka #2-1
50 WIN
@9.00
Lose
-50
HNK Rijeka have a great record in this fixture, winning 9 of the last 10. So, it's hard to see past them here, and I like them seeing as they are away from home to edge it by a single goal margin. 2-1 away win.
14:00 Ipswich v Bournemouth
Evanilson
Anytime Goalscorer
50 WIN
@2.62
Lose

Evanilson has been in good form of late and has scored in 3 of his last 6 matches played. He was a victim to one being ruled out by offside last time out against Spurs as well.
Evanilson
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@6.00
Lose
-50
Evanilson leads the line for his Bournemouth side here. The performances of Ipswich this season tell us the central strikers facing them get plenty of chances, with it being their weak spot. So, I like the Brazilian to open the scoring here today.
14:00 Leicester v Brighton
Carlos Baleba
Anytime Goalscorer
50 WIN
@8.50
Lose
-50
Carlos Baleba looks good value to score anytime here to me. He has scored in 2 of his last 7 league appearances, and both were away from home like today.
Carlos Baleba
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@26.00
Lose
-50
Carlos Baleba scored a beautiful goal against Fulham in midweek and is really striking up a nice midfield partnership with Ayari. This allows him to be the more advanced of the two, and this midfield area is one where Leicester are weakest in my eyes. So, I like him to break the deadlock here.
13:45 Nedbank Golf Challenge
Bernd Wiesberger
25 EW
@51.00
Lose
-50
Bernd Wiesberger finished T3 when he last played here in 2019. While there are some in the field who can live with his iron play, there aren't many who can match him in terms of knowing how to close out an event down the stretch.
Niklas Norgaard
25 EW
@29.00
Lose
-50
Niklas Nørgaard is a contender for a breakthrough year on the DP World Tour in my eyes. If ever a course was built for a skill set, it is for him here, as it will allow his supreme ball striking to shine.
Thomas Detry
25 EW
@26.00
Lose
-50
Thomas Detry has a very good record around this track, having finished T13 in 2022. In his outing here prior to that, he was T3 in 2019. Of course, there were no playings of this event in either 2020 or 2021 due to the pandemic.
Bernd Wiesberger
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@41.00
Lose
-50
Bernd Wiesberger has always noted his great respect for Gary Player, so he will be more highly motivated than most this week. He is returning to a course for the first time in a handful of years since he last played it, and he went well that week, finishing T3. So, I like him for a fast start and think he is great value with very few in the field as experienced as the Austrian.
Jesper Svensson
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@36.00
Lose
-50
Jesper Svensson has quickly become one of, if not the best of the rest, when it comes to players at this level on the DP World Tour. I think he is a dark horse shout as a future Ryder Cup player. He has all the tools to piece his way around this course, and I like him for a fast start on a playing surface he is more than comfortable on.
Niklas Norgaard
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@29.00
Lose
-50
Niklas Norgaard is as steady as they come, and while he may lack the explosive rounds normally necessary for a first-round leader, here on this course, which is demanding, the scoring is not going to be crazy low. So, I like his game to shine even over the shorter distance of the opening 18.
Thomas Detry
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@29.00
Lose
-50
Thomas Detry looks a great shout for first round leader here as the only question marks around his game are when it comes to Sunday pressure and getting over the line. But none of that detracts from FRL plays, so he is a standout here in my eyes.
