Draw
50 WIN
@3.50

-50
Both sides come into this playoff contest in good form. I think there will not be much between them this evening, and the recent head-to-head battles between the sides would tally with that, as 2 of their last 3 contests have ended in a draw.

Ozark Daze is still left searching for that maiden win, but not for the lack of effort. With 2 runner-up finishes as well as another couple of 3rd placed finishes inside the last handful of outings, showing a consistency of performance that will be rewarded sooner rather than later.

Kristina Dmitruk looks good value here to me. Even though her own form is patchy of late, she can feel confident of a result here against an out-of-form Sijia Wei, who has lost her last 6 matches in a row.

Jessika Ponchet

-50
Jessika Ponchet put in a great showing recently at Saint-Gaudens, where she won through 3 rounds and was then beaten in a high-quality and well-contested match against Boisson. She was beaten in straight sets, but they went 7-6 and 6-4, so no shame there. Anything like that level of performance should be good here.

Marina Stakusic looked in good form when winning through a couple of rounds when last seen at Parma. I like her to get the better of Davis here, who retired from competition last time out, so there are question marks over fitness and sharpness.

Chandler Blanchet
50 WIN
@34.00
Lose
-50
Chandler Blanchet has been one of the most consistent players on the KFT of late with 1 missed cut inside his last 7 events. Apart from that, his worst finish in that run has been a T31 while also having 5 finishes of T18 or better. This is a level of consistency that is unusual in players of this level and stands to his quality.
Cole Sherwood
25 EW
@67.00
Lose
-50
Cole Sherwood is currently the best version of himself and ever improving. Now at a near career peak of 347th in the world rankings and has finishes of T2 and T3 inside his last 6 events played. So, he's been knocking on the door when having good weeks of late.
Davis Chatfield
25 EW
@41.00
Lose
-50
A hit or miss player like most still plying their trade at this level, Davis Chatfield has finishes of T7, T6, 2nd, and T10 inside his last 9 events played. While he does miss the odd cut, he looks like a player who will break his Korn Ferry Tour duck very soon.
Ryan McCormick
25 EW
@61.00
Lose
-50
Ryan McCormick is inexplicably still in search of his maiden KFT win despite now having no fewer than 13 finishes of T10 or better in recent seasons. His erratic form is exemplified by him going T8, missed cut, T10 in his last 3 events played. But the ceiling is certainly there and generously priced at these odds.
Wilson Furr
25 EW
@111.00
Lose
-50
Wilson Furr is one of those players now stuck between bouncing up and down levels. He had a great 2023 on the KFT, which earned him his PGA Tour card, but he ultimately lost it. After a slowish start to his campaign to earn it back directly, he is now starting to show the game that got him there in the first place. His T12 finish last time out showed enough signs of encouragement to side with him here.
12:00 Everton v Southampton
Everton

@1.40

With little of substance on the line in this one, it boils down to motivation. In that case, there is a big edge in favor of Everton. With it being the last game at Goodison Park, they will be pulling out all the stops to end their time at a historic stadium with a final 3-point haul.

@6.50

Chelsea have struggled against both low blocks and back 5/wing-back systems all season. I think United going stronger than expected in their lineup this evening will cause further problems, with United playing pressure-free while for Chelsea it is a must-win game.
Man Utd & Yes (Result + BTTS)

@9.00

-50
Man Utd & Yes for the away win in a game where both sides score looks the value to me here. With them set up to counter-attack this Chelsea side and also offering a more physical and aerial presence than their hosts do, I think they can cause problems and perform a classic smash and grab away win with goals at both ends.
Noussair Mazraoui
Anytime Goalscorer
50 WIN
@23.00
Lose
-50
Noussair Mazraoui to score anytime looks like a value shout here with him given license to get forward a lot in this system. He has shown a keen eye for a shot once in position.
Harry Maguire
First Goalscorer
Harry Maguire looks a big price here to open the scoring against a Chelsea side who have struggled with defending set pieces this season, and he is one of the most aerially dangerous players in the opposing box.
Victor Lindelof
Player to be Booked
50 WIN
@7.50
Lose
-50
Victor Lindelof is a generous price to get booked here for a defender who has not played a great deal this season. So likely comes rustiness there, and he is up against a rotating bunch in the likes of Neto, Palmer, and Madueke, who can all cause problems.
19:45 Livingston v Partick
Livingston
19:30 Aston Villa v Tottenham
Aston Villa
Aston Villa are in desperate need of the points here and, roared on by a rampant Villa Park crowd, should be able to overcome a heavily rotated Spurs side with their eyes on their upcoming final.
Marco Asensio
Anytime Goalscorer
50 WIN
@2.45
Lose
-50
Marco Asensio will be keen to leave an impression on what for now is his final start at Villa Park. But with rumors of him signing permanently, he will be equally keen to show well and leave them wanting more.
Marco Asensio
First Goalscorer

@6.00

Marco Asensio could get some joy this evening up against a heavily rotated and thus unfamiliar with each other Spurs backline. Given his movement and eye for goal, it could be a problematic combination for them.
Antonin Kinsky
Player to be Booked
50 WIN
@13.00
Lose
-50
Antonin Kinsky starts in goal for Spurs, and he has looked edgy in his performances thus far. He is a bit over-eager to fill the boots of Vicario, who is an adept sweeper-keeper, which Kinsky is not. I think there is a reasonable chance he gets caught out of position here and ends up needing to take a yellow card.
Emiliano Martinez
Player to be Booked
50 WIN
@9.00
Lose
-50
Emiliano Martinez is no stranger to a yellow card, and with 3 points being a near necessity for his Villa side this evening, it would be no surprise if they are in a leading position late on for the time-wasting antics to come into play and to see him happily take a booking for doing so.

Final Orders has been knocking on the door of late with a runner-up finish and a couple of 3rd placed finishes inside the last 4 outings. He has previously shown winning pedigree with 3 wins over hurdles. Looks a cut above the majority of the field here.

Alberto Bettiol has been trending in the right direction with his most recent showing a big improvement on what went just before it. He did perform well with a couple of good finishes of 3rd and 5th in Switzerland at the beginning of the month. He is hit or miss, but that is why he is generously priced.

Western United FC +0.25 here looks good to me with home advantage. In what should be a rather cagey affair, being the first leg of the tie, neither side will want to give much away early on in proceedings.
No Goalscorer

50 WIN
@13.00
Lose
-50
The 0-0 draw looks like good value here to me as both sides, I think, will prioritize not giving anything away with it being a two-legged tie. That makes the No Goalscorer good value, with any own goal also covered as a base in case of a single goal via that route.
Draw #0-0
50 WIN
@15.00

-50
Opening legs of ties can often play out very cautiously as both sides know that staying in the tie is the main objective. So, I think the 0-0 is value as a result here.

I like the look of Stephen Bunting +1.5 legs here in this one as he is arguably the more motivated of the two here, with him bidding to show he does belong at this level. Whereas Price already has his qualification for finals night locked up, so he may not be at full pace tonight.

Cafe Con Leche has 9 podium finishes, including 4 wins from 26 previous hurdles outings. It wasted very little energy in what was a disappointing run last time out just 3 days ago. But it's encouraging to be sent back out with such a short turnaround. Eyes are clearly on the win by the table.

20:30 Real Madrid v Mallorca

Mallorca look good value for the win here to me as they have more need for the points as they bid to chase down a European position. And having given their all at the weekend, the air may now be out of this Real Madrid side as their title hopes are all but over.

I like the look of Mallorca & Yes for the away win here in a game with goals at both ends. They are in reasonable form with 2 wins and a draw in their last 5, and Madrid may subconsciously fall on their own sword here this evening rather than have Barcelona win the title on the pitch themselves. Madrid are leaking goals of late, so I like a high scoring away win.

I expect this to be an open and entertaining game with almost nothing on the line for Madrid and Mallorca viewing it as almost a free hit at a bonus 3 points as they bid for European football. A 3-2 away win in a midweek thriller.

Stockport came from behind in the first leg and were the better side over the course of the game. They will have felt disappointed not to have taken a lead away with them but will feel confident of getting the job done here at home in front of a raucous home crowd.

@5.75
Lose
-50
Kyle Wootton has 11 league goals to his name so far this season. But it is his all-around game which makes him a pivotal presence in the side. He has missed a lot of big chances, which is a double-edged sword. On the positive side, he is getting into positions and having chances created for him. So I like him to be the one to break the deadlock here tonight.
Stockport #3-1
50 WIN
@15.00

Stockport have scored 3 goals in 3 of their last 4 home games played. So I like the look of them getting a couple of goals winning margin victory tonight to send them through to the playoff final.
