19:45 Bradford v Lincoln City
Draw
50 WIN
@3.30
Win
115
Both teams have close records and are both at the top end of the League One table. Bradford City have two more points than Lincoln City. The Bantams against The Imps looks likely to be a draw.
19:45 Mansfield v Plymouth
Plymouth
50 WIN
@3.15
Lose
-50
Against a common opponent in Burton Albion, both teams have been on away trips with very differing results. Mansfield Town visited Burton very early in the season and lost by two goals to one. By contrast, when Plymouth Argyle visited Burton, it was Plymouth that ran away as four goals to nil winners. On that basis my prediction goes towards a Plymouth Argyle win.

Stockport
50 WIN
@2.80
Win
90
Stockport County have been building in the Conference League for some years and they are now fourth in League One. Port Vale have been on a good run of their own but still sit in eighteenth place. County can take all the points.

Dallas Cowboys can put up some big scores. After the New York Giants racked up 32 points against the Denver Broncos, the Dallas Cowboys should be going even higher.
DAL Cowboys - DAL Cowboys
Double Result
50 WIN
@4.50
Lose
-50
The Dallas Cowboys can lead this match from start to finish. They have arguably the league's best-ranked offense. They put up good numbers and can overcome the Broncos' defensive schemes.
CeeDee Lamb (DAL Cowboys)
First Touchdown Scorer
50 WIN
@11.00
Lose
-50
CeeDee Lamb will be keen to score for the Dallas Cowboys. The passing game is an area where the Cowboys excel.
17:00 BUF Bills @ CAR Panthers
Dalton Kincaid (BUF Bills)
First Touchdown Scorer
50 WIN
@12.00
Lose
-50
Dalton Kincaid has scored three touchdowns in three separate games. He had an injury last week but should return tonight.
17:00 NY Giants @ PHI Eagles
Dallas Goedert (PHI Eagles)
First Touchdown Scorer
50 WIN
@8.50
Lose
-50
Dallas Goedert is often the player who makes tough catches for Philadelphia Eagles and keeps them in the game. He has a presence around the scoring zone.
15:00 Rangers v Kilmarnock

14:40 James Wade vs Luke Humphries
James Wade
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@3.50
Lose
-50
James Wade has been playing equally as well as Luke Humphries has to this point in the competition. No favourite has been a safe bet this weekend. James Wade can win.
James Wade 2.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@2.10

Big match wins are never far from James Wade. If you look at it from Luke Humphries' view, this is probably the toughest opponent left to face.
14:30 Aberdeen v Hibernian
Draw
14:00 Bournemouth v Nottm Forest
Bournemouth
Bournemouth are red hot at the moment. Nottingham Forest have again sacked their manager. Teams that do that more than once a season don't usually fare well. Forest are in trouble.
14:00 Wolverhampton v Burnley
Burnley
Wolves fans will be marking this down as their first win of the season. Burnley are fourth from bottom, with Wolves five points adrift. Burnley have scored nine league goals to just five from Wolves and I think that will be the difference.

Jermaine Wattimena is almost certain to outscore Ricardo Pietreczko on the highest score with three darts. The Dutchman is in top form.

Jermaine Wattimena will be the heavy lifter in the scoring of 180s. As we saw last night, Picachu can add a few himself.
17:30 Man Utd v Brighton
Brighton
Manchester United are largely basing what has been a relatively poor season for them on last week's win at Anfield. Brighton have shown their pedigree with wins over Newcastle and Chelsea in two of their last three games.
15:00 Blackburn v Southampton
Southampton
I thought Southampton had a bad scoring record with 12 league goals in the Championship. Blackburn Rovers have a 33% worse record for goals with just 8, by far the Championship's worst scoring record outside of Sheffield. Blackburn Rovers also have four defeats from their last five games.
15:00 Chelsea v Sunderland
Chelsea
Chelsea have strung together a couple of Premier League wins over Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. This appears to be more straightforward for Chelsea to win again.
15:00 Chris Dobey vs Michael van Gerwen
Chris Dobey
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@2.25
Lose
-50
Chris Dobey is a Premier League player from this past season. He is in better form than Michael van Gerwen and can get the better of the Dutchman.
Chris Dobey 1.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@1.80

I think Chris Dobey will win this match on even terms. He dispatched Stephen Bunting comfortably in the last round. Michael van Gerwen looks more scratchy.
Chris Dobey
Most 180s
50 WIN
@1.73
Win

Chris Dobey on form, will score maximums at a far faster rate than Michael van Gerwen. Hollywood should go well this weekend.
15:00 Hull v Charlton
Charlton
50 WIN
@2.95
Lose
-50
Both teams have been playing and winning matches in the Championship. Hull City have a good scoring record with nineteen goals but have conceded at the same rate. Charlton have conceded just nine times while still carrying a goal threat, scoring thirteen times.
15:00 Newcastle v Fulham
Newcastle
Newcastle United have had mixed results so far this season. The visit of Fulham is a match where Newcastle will be expecting to overpower the opposition and take all three points. Newcastle are good value at home.
14:00 Martin Schindler vs Ryan Joyce
Over 7.50
Total 180s
50 WIN
@1.95
Win
47
The bar has been set pretty low for this match in terms of 180s. Ryan Joyce has an unfounded reputation for not hitting them enough.
12:30 Portsmouth v Stoke
Stoke
50 WIN
@2.70
Win
85
Stoke City have lost one game in their last five. The biggest threat to this bet is the draw. Stoke City have been going well and have five wins this season, two more than Portsmouth.
12:00 Ryan Searle vs Gian van Veen
Gian van Veen
Most 180s
50 WIN
@1.80
Win

Gian van Veen can hit 180s on a regular basis. He should have the most at the end of the game. Ryan Searle is not quite so good.
Over 9.50
Total 180s
50 WIN
@1.91
Win
46
In this longer format of first to ten legs, I would expect more 180s than the expected nine. Gian van Veen and Ryan Searle should get more well before the match ends.

This all-Dutch clash appears more of a flip of a coin than most matches. The match is difficult to call, so it's worth more to take the better odds.

Nathan Aspinall is ranked number one at this tournament. It is not long ago that Rob Cross was in a similar position. This is closer than a 1 v 32 match.

Rob Cross is no slouch when it comes to 180 scoring. On form that is sometimes shaky, Cross can outscore Nathan Aspinall.

Both players should combine to see the number of 180s in the match to comfortably get to a minimum of six maximums.

There was a time when Raymond van Barneveld was always a strong favorite, but Luke Littler would have been a schoolboy! I would only take Raymond van Barneveld with the given three and a half legs start nowadays.

I would fully expect Luke Littler to hit most 180s. Raymond van Barneveld can definitely chip in too. Littler usually threatens scoring a nine darter.

Raymond van Barneveld still has some stage presence. In Germany Luke Littler does not normally play as the crowd get to him. That gives Raymond van Barneveld the chance to keep this game closer than expected.
20:00 Leeds v West Ham
West Ham
50 WIN
@3.60
Lose
-50
This could fall right for Nuno Espirito Santo's tactic of counter-attacking. He did well at Nottingham Forest and West Ham United need to quickly morph into a similar set-up for success.
20:00 Luke Humphries vs Krzysztof Ratajski
Krzysztof Ratajski
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@3.40

-50
Many of these opening round games have gone against the favorite. The Polish Eagle can deliver the latest blow to a top seed. Krzysztof Ratajski is showing some of his best form.
Krzysztof Ratajski 2.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@1.73
Lose
-50
As a precaution, Krzysztof Ratajski with a two and a half leg start over Luke Humphries looks reasonably safe. He has to get four legs to win with the handicap.
19:30 Josh Rock vs Ricardo Pietreczko
Josh Rock
Most 180s

Josh Rock is a very strong hitter of maximum 180 scores. Ricardo Pietreczko does not score many, even in his best form.

The over 180s will largely depend on Josh Rock. He should score the bulk of the minimum of six needed. Ricardo Pietreczko can chip in to make the score go over the minimum of five.

The odds are close enough to think it could be a draw on 180 scoring. Both players are great scorers around the lipstick.

With Damon Heta so out of form, Gian van Veen can easily overcome the handicap as one of the best players of the weekend.

Gian van Veen is one of the best players in form. He also has plenty of room to move up the rankings. Damon Heta seems a bit stuck. His form has dropped off badly.

For New Zealand to win this match, they have to have a dominant performance from their leader Sophie Devine. She can deliver just that as she has been playing very well.

20:00 Bristol City v Southampton
Southampton
Southampton have drawn far too many games. Bristol City have been okay with results and expectations. Southampton have been gradually getting things in place, but scoring has been an issue. That is the last and most important thing to get right and I think they will tonight.
19:45 Blackburn v Sheff Utd
Sheff Utd
There is a lot of unrest behind the scenes at Blackburn Rovers. Sheffield United have not yet shown enough on the field. I would expect them to rally at some point and start winning.
19:45 Hull v Leicester
Hull
Hull City have won their last two games and look improved from the early days of the season. Leicester City are at a crossroads as they have drawn several games. That is one win in six, but with five draws. Hull can overcome them with Ollie McBurney up front.
19:45 Portsmouth v Coventry
Coventry
Coventry City have been beating everyone and by comfortable margins. They will be looking for another win to extend their run.
08:30 Bangladesh vs West Indies 2nd ODI
Rishad Hossain
Man Of The Match

@13.00

Spin bowling is key to the pitches in Bangladesh at the moment. It has been difficult to bat on. Leg spinner Rishad Hossain has one man of the match already. He will prove to be a handful again.
