18:45 Fribourg Gotteron vs HC Ajoie

Fribourg Gotteron

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.22

Win

11

The standings gap is meaningful: Fribourg are in the mix (46 pts, positive goal balance), while Ajoie are near the bottom (25 pts, 102 GA). Fribourg also have more reliable top-end production (Marcus Sorensen and Sandro Schmid leading the way). They’re built to win low-event games at home.
18:45 ZSC Lions vs Lugano

ZSC Lions

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.73

Win

37

Even though Lugano sit slightly higher in the table, the profiles are close enough that home ice and matchup control can swing it. I like ZSC in a tight one because their blue-line leadership (Patrick Geering and Mikko Lehtonen) supports a cleaner transition game, which can mute Lugano’s forecheck pressure. Lugano have the firepower to punish mistakes (Zach Sanford, Luca Fazzini, Calvin Thürkauf), so ZSC likely need a disciplined defensive game and decent special teams to get it done.
18:45 Zug vs EHC Kloten

Zug

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.42

Win

21

Zug’s profile is simply stronger right now. They’re above Kloten in points and have scored far more (88 GF vs Kloten’s 71). They also have multiple proven finishers driving the attack (Grégory Hofmann, Dominik Kubalík, plus secondary threats), which makes matchup hunting hard for Kloten.
18:15 Fehervar AV19 vs KAC Klagenfurt

KAC Klagenfurt

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.62

Open

0

KAC sit higher in the ICEHL table (2nd) and have been the more balanced team over the season, while Fehérvár are in the chasing pack (5th). The fun twist is that the league preview notes Fehérvár have already beaten KAC twice this season, including a recent overtime win. KAC should come in with clear tactical adjustments.
18:15 Salzburg vs Pioneers Vorarlberg

Salzburg

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.20

Win

10

This looks like a mismatch on current ICEHL numbers: Salzburg are 3rd, while the Pioneers are down in 9th and have allowed far more goals than they’ve scored (103 GA). Salzburg’s pace/forecheck typically forces long defensive shifts and draws penalties, which is brutal for a team conceding that many chances. If the Pioneers don’t get a standout goaltending performance, Salzburg should control territory and shot volume for most of the night.
16:00 Trinec vs Mountfield HK

Trinec

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.55

Lose

-50

Both are near the top of the Extraliga table (Trinec 3rd, Mountfield 4th), so expect a tight, playoff-style game. Trinec look better equipped for a 60-minute grind, with Libor Hudá?ek and Oscar Flynn driving scoring and Marek Mazanec giving them high-end stability in goal.
15:00 Eczacibasi W vs Galatasaray W

Eczacibasi W

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.67

Win

34

This is the headline “derby” of the round: both are 8??"3, but Eczac?ba?? look to be trending well and come in off a clean 3??"0 win over Göztepe last week. Eczac?ba??’s roster gives them multiple ways to win??"Magdalena Stysiak as a high-volume opposite, plus elite defense behind Simge Akoz and big blocking with players like Dana Rettke.
14:00 Besiktas W vs Aydin B Sehir Bld W

Besiktas W

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.55

Lose

-50

Both are 3??"8, so this one is more about matchup than table position ??" and it screams “serve/receive swing game.” However, Be?ikta? have clear point-scoring options on the wings (e.g., Angela Leyva) and can ride hot stretches to steal sets.
12:00 THY Spor Kulubu W vs Ilbank W

THY Spor Kulubu W

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.29

Win

14

THY (4??"7) haven’t hit their ceiling yet, but their overall profile is still stronger than an ?lbank side sitting at 3??"8 with a rough set ratio. If THY can win the middle and transition game (they’ve got weapons like Bahar Akbay), they can keep pressure on ?lbank’s reception patterns.
16 December 2025
19:30 Milano vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.85

Lose

-50

Both are trending up, but Real’s recent momentum and shot creation (especially through their wings) feel more scalable if the game tightens late. Milan’s path is clear??"win the perimeter battle, get Armoni Brooks clean looks, and keep Real out of transition??"but injuries in the backcourt rotation could pinch. I’m leaning Real in a game where the final five minutes decide it.
19:05 Hapoel Tel Aviv vs Crvena Zvezda

Hapoel Tel Aviv

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.37

Win

19

Hapoel’s confidence is sky-high and they’ve had multiple ways to win lately (guards creating, bigs finishing, late-game execution). Zvezda are dangerous when their guards get downhill, but the injury list and recent offensive dip make it harder to sustain scoring for 40 minutes. If Hapoel’s perimeter creators set the tone early, I see them controlling the game
19:00 Alba Berlin vs Baku Sabah

Alba Berlin

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.18

Win

9

Alba’s ball movement and scoring form have been excellent lately, and they’ve had multiple different players step up??"hard to scheme against. Sabah’s road scoring profile is the red flag here. If they fall behind, they may not have enough half-court creation to chase. I’m expecting Alba to separate by the third quarter.
18:00 Aalborg Pirates vs Sonderjyske

Aalborg Pirates

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.40

Win

20

Aalborg are riding momentum from two wins over Rungsted, and their special teams are a major edge. The power play has been “on fire,” with a burst of goals over the last few games. The head-to-head this season leans Aalborg too ??" they’ve won the last two meetings after SønderjyskE took the first one in overtime, so the matchup trend is pointing north. SønderjyskE also arrive off a heavy loss to Herning and will be short-handed (including a suspension), which makes staying disciplined versus Aalborg’s power play even harder.
18:00 Rodovre Mighty Bulls vs Odense Bulldogs

Odense Bulldogs

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.30

Lose

-50

Odense come in as the hotter team, climbing the table after beating top opposition last week and putting up big goal numbers. They’re close to full strength. Their power play has clicked recently, which is a nasty matchup versus a Rødovre penalty kill that’s been shakier than usual. Rødovre do get a lift with Oskar Matushkin coming in on the blue line and Ryan Hughes returning from suspension, but the overall depth still favors Odense over 60 minutes.
17:30 Bnei Herzliya vs Tenerife

Tenerife

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.35

Lose

-50

Herzliya’s offense can spike (Stewart has been consistently productive), but Tenerife’s experience and defensive control??"especially limiting opponent threes??"are exactly what you want in a road test. If Tenerife keeps this out of a pure shootout, their half-court execution should win out. I’ll take Tenerife, close but composed.
17:30 Cedevita Olimpija vs Hapoel Jerusalem

Hapoel Jerusalem

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.73

Win

37

This is a real top-of-the-group test: Cedevita have already shown they can beat Hapoel (and DJ Stewart can swing games), but they’re coming off a defensive wake-up call. Hapoel’s win streak and guard firepower (Carrington/Harper) give them a slightly higher floor, especially if they win the shot-quality battle late. I’ll take Hapoel in a tight one, with Cedevita very live at home.
17:00 Szolnoki Olaj vs AEK

AEK

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.10

Lose

-50

Olaj’s BCL success has basically been “home or nothing,” which helps, but AEK’s level and defensive profile travel well. If AEK keep Bartley’s scoring engine humming and avoid giving up second chances, they should control the game. I’ll take AEK’s quality to show over 40 minutes.
15:00 Galatasaray vs Istanbul Genclik Spor

Galatasaray

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.36

Win

18

Istanbul Gençlik are capable (they just put in a clean 3??"0 last round), but Galatasaray have the stronger overall profile and more high-end firepower. With attackers like Jean Patry, Thomas Jaeschke, Stephen Maar, and the experience of Arslan Ek?i running the offense, Galatasaray can win even if the match gets messy.
15:00 Halkbank Ankara vs Spor Toto SK

Halkbank Ankara

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.36

Win

18

This is a clear top-vs-mid-table matchup on paper (Halkbank near the top, Spor Toto in the pack). That usually shows up in side-out consistency over four sets. Halkbank’s ceiling is also higher thanks to a star-heavy roster (e.g., Leal, Lagumdzija, Kooy). Even if they drop focus after the recent setback, they have multiple go-to options.
15 December 2025
15:12 3:12 Lingfield

Kings Code

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@3.00

Lose

-50

Arrives in red-hot form, chasing a fourth win from his last five starts despite a small weight rise. In a compact six-runner Class 2, recent momentum and tactical speed matter a lot. My Fermoy and Have Secret are dangers, but King's Code is the most solid win pick.
13:42 1:42 Lingfield

Tommys Promise

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@3.25

Win

112

He’s improved sharply on the all-weather, capped by a comfortable Chelmsford win over 1m 2f. That “travels well, finishes strongly” style is ideal around Lingfield’s turning Polytrack. If he sits handy enough from the gate, he looks the best improver and can follow up.
13:12 1:12 Lingfield

Profit Street

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@3.25

Lose

-50

Comes here off a recent Wolverhampton win and still looks well treated on older form lines. This is a very similar 6f AW handicap setup, and the yard clearly has him back on song. Repeat that latest effort and he’s the most likely finisher in this Class 6.
12:12 12:12 Lingfield

Al Qaysiyya

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@1.73

Lose

-50

Appleby’s filly brings the strongest profile, including a solid Kempton second and the best published rating. Stepping up to a mile looks a plus based on how she shaped late over shorter. If she runs to that level again, she should simply have too much class for these.
11:42 11:42 Lingfield

Angel Gabriel

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@1.91

Win

45

Already looks the proven-form horse with two runner-up runs at sprint trips. He’s the clear market leader in a small field and should improve again for this test. If he breaks cleanly, his established pace and consistency can finally convert to a win.
14 December 2025
22:45 Grant Thornton Invitational

Conners/Henderson

50 WIN

@6.50

Lose

-50

Their tee-to-green baseline is the steadiest in the field. Conners’ elite approach play, plus Henderson’s fairway metals, keep them stress-free on Tiburón’s Gold Course. They’ve paired well in prior editions (runner-up in 2023; top-4 the following year) and arrive with solid 2025 form across both tours. Over three formats (scramble, foursomes, modified four-ball), their balanced skill set and calm course management travel best.
22:15 Grant Thornton Invitational

McCarthy/N Korda

1st Round Leader

50 WIN

@8.00

Lose

-50

R1 is a scramble, which amplifies pure distance and hot putting. McCarthy is among the tour’s best putters, and Korda’s ball-striking can generate consistently makeable looks. This pairing already posted a low opening 56 as an analog with Korda alongside Finau in 2023, showing how her profile spikes in this format. Expect early birdie runs and a sub-60 number if the putter heats up.
14:10 Cyclo Cross WC Namur 2025

Mathieu van der Poel

Win Outright

50 WIN

@1.20

Win

10

The Citadel’s profile ??" long punches, off-cambers, cobbles ??" rewards power and superior bike handling. A combo van der Poel has used to dominate here and across this season. He arrives as the all-conquering force of 2025 CX, fresh off a 7th world title and an unbeaten run, and Namur lists him among the headliners again. Unless crashes or mechanics intervene, his ability to surge on climbs and float technical descents should separate. Strong lean to MvdP.
13:30 India vs South Africa 3rd T20 Match

India

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.44

Win

22

After South Africa leveled the series 1??"1 with a 51-run win, the 3rd T20 shifts to Dharamsala. Cool conditions and a fresh, pace-friendly surface mean India’s attack can bite if they win the powerplay. Expect adjustments to India’s batting tempo and match-ups after Mullanpur. If they control wickets in the middle, home depth should carry them. Lean India to respond and retake the lead.
12:40 Cyclo Cross WC Namur Women 2025

Lucinda Brand

Win Outright

50 WIN

@1.57

Win

28

Namur’s Citadel rewards sustained climbing power, confident off-camber handling, and clean remounts??"Brand’s wheelhouse. She’s historically thrived here, using pace control on the long punches to force splits and then defending on the technical descents. If she secures front-row position early and keeps mistakes off the off-camber sections, her lap-to-lap consistency should outlast late surges from the chasers. Lean Brand to win a selective, attritional race.
08:10 Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Sixers T20

Perth Scorchers

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.80

Win

40

Optus Stadium magnifies Perth’s strengths ??" new-ball bounce for their quicks and boundary value for a power top order. The Sixers’ experience keeps it live. Yet the Scorchers’ home record and early-season groove usually swing the last five overs in Perth. I’ll side with the hosts by a couple of wickets or ~10??"20 runs.
04:40 Giga Chikadze v Kevin Vallejos

Giga Chikadze

Win Fight

50 WIN

@3.80

Lose

-50

Vallejos is a live, fast starter, but Chikadze’s body-kick game and experience over five-round co-mains give him more reliable round-winning tools. If Giga manages the pocket with the jab/teep and checks counters, his mid-fight surge should tell.
04:10 Cesar Almeida v Cezary Oleksiejczuk

Cezary Oleksiejczuk

Win Fight

50 WIN

@1.50

Win

25

Almeida’s kickboxing pedigree gives him knockout equity, yet Oleksiejczuk is the more rounded MMA operator with clinch/wrestling looks to change phases. If Cezary mixes level changes with calf kicks of his own, he can blunt the Brazilian’s rhythm.
03:10 King Green v Lance Gibson Jr

King Green

Win Fight

50 WIN

@1.44

Win

22

Gibson Jr. brings athleticism and some pop, but Green’s veteran pacing and experience against high-level opponents matter in three rounds. If “King” manages distance and mixes counters with clinch breaks, he can win the minutes.
02:45 Amanda Lemos v Gillian Robertson

Amanda Lemos

Win Fight

50 WIN

@2.63

Void

0

Robertson’s top game is a real threat, but Lemos’ power, stout hips, and improved get-ups have carried her at strawweight. If Amanda keeps it upright and attacks the body early, she can control damage and tempo. Lemos by decision or late TKO.
02:30 Joanderson Brito v Isaac Thomson

Joanderson Brito

Win Fight

50 WIN

@1.36

Win

18

Short-notice debut for Thomson against a dangerous, explosive Brito is a tough ask. If Brito pressures early and forces reactive shots, he can find the back or land big shots. Brito inside the distance.
02:10 Neil Magny v Yaroslav Amosov

Yaroslav Amosov

Win Fight

50 WIN

@1.25

Win

12

Magny’s craft and cardio test newcomers, but Amosov’s chain wrestling and top pressure have stifled elite welterweights before. If Yaroslav wins first contact and avoids extended clinch breaks at range, he can stack control time.
13 December 2025
08:15 Hobart Hurricanes W vs Perth Scorchers W T20

Perth Scorchers W

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.37

Lose

-50

The Scorchers arrive hot after beating the Sixers in the Challenger, with Beth Mooney in top form and Alana King peaking again through the middle overs. Hobart have home advantage at Blundstone Arena and a balanced XI, but Perth’s recent high-pressure reps and batting ceiling give them more paths to a total/chase. Slight edge to the Scorchers in a high-scoring final.
08:00 South Africa W vs Ireland W 1st ODI

South Africa W

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.05

Win

3

Buffalo Park (East London) tends to reward disciplined new-ball spells and strong fielding. South Africa bring both, plus more batting depth around Wolvaardt, Luus, and Kapp. Ireland improved across the T20s, but SAW dominated that leg and now shift to their stronger 50-over template at home. Lean South Africa by a comfortable margin.
12 December 2025
19:45 Netherlands W vs Norway W

Norway (W)

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.14

Win

7

Home crowd and Yara Ten Holte’s form give the Dutch a real shot, but Norway’s semi-final machine??"relentless pace, disciplined defence, and Henny Reistad driving the attack??"tends to win leverage minutes. The H2H at World Championships also tilts Norway’s way, and if they clean exits and own the fast break, they can quiet the Ahoy surges. Lean Norway by 1??"3 goals after a tense second half.
19:30 Barcelona vs Olympiacos

Olympiacos

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.00

Lose

-50

Olympiacos’ structure??"ice on side PnR, strong-side digs, and disciplined closeouts??"travels well and tends to flatten Barça’s half-court rhythm. If Oly controls defensive rebounds and keeps the foul count low, they own the leverage possessions down the stretch. Palau is a tough gym, but the Greeks’ late-game execution is the tiebreaker.
19:30 Partizan vs Crvena Zvezda

Partizan

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.91

Win

46

The derby is volatile, yet Partizan’s shot volume at Stark Arena and offensive rebounding often swing the margins. If they stay out of foul trouble and win the corners, they shade a one-score classic.
19:30 Virtus Bologna vs Hapoel Tel Aviv

Hapoel Tel Aviv

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.62

Win

31

Hapoel’s pace-and-space, downhill pick-and-roll can pull Virtus out of their comfort zone and create early paint touches. If the Israelis keep turnovers down and win the defensive glass, their transition and free-throw volume usually provide a late cushion. Virtus can grind this into a half-court chess match, but the shot-volume math leans Hapoel in the fourth.
18:30 Grizzlys Wolfsburg vs Fischtown Pinguins Bremerhaven

Fischtown Pinguins Bremerhaven

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.10

Win

55

The matchup trends have leaned Bremerhaven’s way, especially in Wolfsburg (double-chance hits in a long run of visits). The Pinguins usually generate the cleaner five-on-five looks in this series. If they win special teams and keep turnovers down exiting their zone, they can edge the leverage minutes. Wolfsburg did blank them 4??"0 in Bremerhaven recently, so variance is real ??" but H2H and shot-volume math still tilt Pinguins.
18:30 Schwenninger Wild Wings vs Adler Mannheim

Adler Mannheim

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.67

Win

34

Mannheim’s deeper forward lines and special-teams edge usually travel, and their neutral-zone structure tends to blunt Schwenninger’s rush game. If Adler control faceoffs and keep the slot clean, they can tilt third-period momentum. Wild Wings are live with a goalie spike, but the matchup leans Mannheim by a goal.
18:30 Straubing Tigers vs Eisbaren Berlin

Eisbaren Berlin

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.90

Lose

-50

Straubing’s building is tough, yet Berlin’s five-on-five shot quality and late-game composure give them more routes to a result. If Eisbären stay disciplined and win the PK minutes, their top six should generate the extra look or two they need. Road edge to Berlin in a tight one.
18:15 EC VSV vs Salzburg

Salzburg

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.91

Win

46

Salzburg’s pace through the middle and pressure on exits often create turnovers that become quick-strike chances. If they stay out of the box and own net-front on both ends, they usually control the final 10 minutes. VSV can drag it into a grinder, but Salzburg’s depth is the safer side.
16:45 France W vs Germany W

France (W)

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.42

Lose

-50

France’s big-game defence and depth usually travel, and their semi-final pedigree is elite ??" they’ve never lost at this stage and turned three of their previous appearances into gold (most recently 2023). Germany arrive with a stout back line and strong goalkeeping, but history leans French in this matchup, and the champions’ late-game execution should be the separator. Expect a grinder where France control turnovers and the nine-metre looks to edge it by a couple of goals.
15:00 3:00 Cheltenham

Mister Coffey

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@8.00

Lose

-50

He’s threatened to win one of these, and the cross-country going is Good, which should help his rhythm over the myriad obstacles. With pace likely from Busselton/Latenightpass, a patient ride can set up his late challenge. Shortlisted widely as the one ready to get his head in front.
14:25 2:25 Cheltenham

Courtland

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@7.50

Lose

-50

Comes here off a cracking run behind Twig (subsequent Becher winner), and this 2m 4½f trip on Good to Soft looks optimal. If he gets handy and jumps as fluently, he can out-finish these older rivals. Today’s nap for some tipsters.
13:50 1:50 Cheltenham

LHomme Presse

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@6.50

Lose

-50

Topweight with class and Cheltenham credentials, and this new-course stamina test (rails +62y) suits his grinding style if fitness is there. If he’s within range at the top of the hill, his late class can tell. He’s been widely flagged as the one to beat on return.
13:15 1:15 Cheltenham

Fortune De Mer

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@4.33

Win

166

Progressive profile and well touted into the day. If he travels into it turning for home, his turn of foot can separate him in a busy handicap. The race distance is unchanged by rails (+25y), and the going sits in his comfort zone. He’s a popular tip for good reason.
12:40 12:40 Cheltenham

Royal Infantry

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@3.25

Lose

-50

Small-field tactics matter, and Royal Infantry brings a neat jumping rhythm over 2m4f that can pressure the favourite Califet En Vol late. With the ground described as Good to Soft, a clean round and a mid-race move could be enough to nick it. Value against the favourite in a 4-runner setup.
12:05 12:05 Cheltenham

Old Park Star

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@3.75

Win

137

He has the strongest market/forecast profile, and today’s Good to Soft (soft in places) on the New Course looks fine for his style. The main danger is Kingston Queen, but if Old Park Star settles early he should have too much through the last two. Shortlist horse per the day’s previews.
