The number one seed Aryna Sabalenka showed her battling quality and determination when winning her last match in straight sets, with each set requiring a tiebreak. She is ranked fifteen places higher than her opponent, so take Sabalenka to progress to the next round.

20:00 Villarreal v Real Madrid
Real Madrid
In La Liga, Real Madrid are second in the table with Villarreal in third, seven points behind and with a game in hand. With Barcelona not playing until tomorrow, a win for Real Madrid would move them to the top of the table. Villarreal's last five home league games have seen them win four; their only defeat came against Barcelona. Real Madrid looked in good form in their last home game, which was against Monaco in the Champions League, where they scored six times. They won this fixture last season, and after that performance against Monaco, they should be confident of doing the same this season.

Impose Toi and Strong Leader once again lock horns today. They finished first and second in the last two races they competed in, with Impose Toi winning both. The Nicky Henderson horse has run three times this season and won them all.

Sir Gino returned to hurdling and won by six lengths at Kempton on Boxing Day. He remains unbeaten after racing six times for Nicky Henderson. The New Lion has been given time to recover from his fall in the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle in November. However, having had that fall, he may not be quite the same horse.
15:00 Blackpool v Northampton
Blackpool
Blackpool are one place ahead of Northampton in the table. They are level on points, with Blackpool having played one game more. Blackpool have won two of their last three home games. Northampton currently occupy a relegation spot and have taken just one point from their last four away league games.
15:00 Bristol City v Sheff Wed
Bristol City
50 WIN
@-333
Win
15
Bottom of the table, Sheffield Wednesday are in awful form. Away from home they have only taken one point in their last six games. With Bristol City winning two of their last three home league games, I'm going for them to get the win.
15:00 Bromley v Swindon
Bromley
Top of the table take on second-place Swindon, who trail by six points with a game in hand. Bromley have won their last six home league games, whilst Swindon have lost one of their last two away games.
15:00 Milton Keynes Dons v Shrewsbury
Milton Keynes Dons
50 WIN
@-175
Win

MK Dons are fifteen places and twenty-two points higher in the table than Shrewsbury. Although MK Dons have drawn their last two home games, they were both against teams much higher in the table than Shrewsbury.
15:00 Walsall v Accrington Stanley
Walsall
50 WIN
@-109
Lose
-50
Walsall are third in the table, while Accrington Stanley are down in sixteenth. Walsall returned to winning ways against Tranmere in the last game. That should be taken into account against Accrington Stanley, who are just one place higher in the table than Tranmere.

Grey Dawning

-50
The Dan Skelton-trained Grey Dawning won the Betfair Chase at Haydock last November and appeared to have a fair bit left in the tank. Providing the ground does not become too wet, Grey Dawning has every chance to give weight and a beating to his three rivals.

-50
Unanswered Prayers has run three times this season and each time finished fifth. His last race was over today's course and distance in the Glenfarclas Crystal Cup Cross Country when Final Orders and J'arrive De L'est finished first and second. He meets both those horses on more favourable terms today. In that race he probably stayed towards the rear too much, as he was making decent progress towards the end of the race. If he can be ridden a little more aggressively today, he has every chance of a top-five finish.

12:30 Huddersfield v Bradford
Huddersfield
Huddersfield have seen three wins and three draws in their last six home League One games. With Bradford losing two of their last three away games, Huddersfield appear to have every chance of gaining another home win.
01:00 Eliot Spizzirri vs Jannik Sinner
Jannik Sinner
Win Match

@-10000
Win
2
Eighty-three places separate these two players in the rankings. Spizzirri has dropped at least one set in both matches he has played at this year's tournament, while Sinner is yet to drop a set. Sinner's class to shine in a comfortable victory.

20:00 Derby v West Brom
Derby
With three wins in their last four games, Derby have moved up to tenth in the table. They are nine places and ten points better off than West Brom. West Brom have lost their last ten away Championship games, so this appears a good opportunity for Derby to gain a home win.
19:30 St Pauli v Hamburg
St Pauli
Neither set of supporters will be happy with how their team is performing. St. Pauli are bottom of the table, whilst Hamburg are only four points clear of the relegation zone. Hamburg come into this game having lost their last five away league games. After four home league defeats, St. Pauli got back to winning ways at home with a victory against Heidenheim, who are two places lower in the table than Hamburg. Earlier this season, St. Pauli rocked up at Hamburg and left with all three points, so I’m taking them to do so again.
19:00 FC Dordrecht v FC Den Bosch
FC Dordrecht
FC Den Bosch are six places and seven points higher in the table than FC Dordrecht but have a poor record when travelling to FC Dordrecht, having lost on their last four visits.
19:00 Maastricht v FC Utrecht Reserves
Maastricht
FC Utrecht Reserves are higher in the table than Maastricht but have lost on their last three visits. In those three games the home side scored nine goals and conceded none. Maastricht have taken four points from their last two home games.

In 2026 Imola has raced three times. She achieved one win, one second, and one third. In her latest race she was pipped on the line, losing by a short head. She is down one pound from that race. The race that she won was over today's course and distance. Today gives her another opportunity to win, as she will be going up four pounds in future races.

Providing this race does not come too soon, Jamaicaine has every chance of completing the hat-trick. She is up another ten pounds for another easy success. However, she looks in good form and is worth following.

Karolina Muchova

These two have met four times before. After losing the first encounter, Karolina Muchová won the next three in straight sets. She is ranked thirty-one places higher than her opponent and could once again get the better of her.

Two Americans meet, with Coco Gauff the higher-ranked of the two by sixty-seven places. They have met once before, which Gauff won in straight sets. There is every chance she will do the same again, as she has won her last four matches without dropping a set.

20:00 Braga v Nottm Forest
Nottm Forest
When it comes to standings in the Europa League table, Braga have a two-point advantage over Nottingham Forest. These two teams have only met once previously, back in 2015, when Nottingham Forest won a friendly played in Braga. Braga lost their last Europa League home game against Genk. Nottingham Forest won their last away Premiership game and also their last Europa League away game, beating Utrecht.
20:00 Lincoln City v Burton Albion
Lincoln City
Lincoln City are currently in second spot, while Burton Albion are only two places outside the relegation zone. Lincoln City have taken ten points from their last four home games, while Burton Albion have lost their last two league away games.
20:00 Rangers v Ludogorets Razgrad
Rangers
Rangers have had a poor Europa League season with just one point from their six games. Rangers appear to be in better form than they were at the start of the season and, having won their last five home games, are expected to get the win.
17:45 Bologna v Celtic
Celtic
With Martin O'Neil in charge, a chance is taken that Celtic can get the better of Bologna, who have lost their last two home league games. Although Celtic may not be at their best, they did win their last away Premiership game.

Ace of Spades was not disgraced when finishing runner-up behind Ma Shantou at Cheltenham on New Year's Day. He has gone up four pounds since that race. The Skeltons are in good form, and this could be another winner for them.

Ionity has not been seen on a racecourse for over a year but looks worth taking a chance on. In total, he has raced seven times over hurdles. His last four runs saw him finish first once, second once, and third twice. He races off a mark four pounds higher than his last winning mark. Those four races were on soft and good-to-soft ground, with his sole success coming on good-to-soft. He appears to go well when fresh, so looks worth following for a place finish.

20:00 Stoke v Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough
A win tonight against seventh-place Stoke will see Middlesbrough move into second spot. They won their last away game at West Brom and won this fixture last season.
19:45 Carlisle v York
York
Tonight's National League game sees top of the table York City take on third-place Carlisle. Both of these teams are on fifty-six points, with Carlisle having played one game more. When these two teams met earlier in the season at York City's ground, the home side scored five times without reply. York City have won their last four away National League games and have not lost away in the league this season. Carlisle have been strong at home this season and have only lost twice in their last ten home games. However, I'm sticking with York City to do the double.
19:45 Southampton v Sheff Utd
Southampton
Southampton's home form has recently dipped, with just two points from their last three home games. Prior to that, they had won four consecutive home games. With Sheffield United losing three of their last four away games, I'm going for Southampton to get the win.
17:45 Galatasaray v Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid are three points ahead of Galatasaray in the table, and a win tonight would move them into a top-eight spot. Atletico Madrid have had plenty of recent away wins, and they won on their last visit to Galatasaray.

Inferno Sacree has been knocking on the door in each of his three races this season. He opened up with a third at Plumpton and then finished second in each of his last two races. His latest effort was at Taunton over a very similar distance to today, and he was denied by just a nose. Today there should be no issue with conditions, and with the help of a seven-pound claimer on board, Inferno Sacree has every chance of recording his first win of the season.
