30 April 2025
19:45 Blackpool v Birmingham
Birmingham
Birmingham #2-1
50 WIN
@8.50
Lose
-50
Birmingham should celebrate promotion with a victory here but as Blackpool are no slouches, particularly at home, I think they'll have a battle on their hands so 2-1 is my pick.
19:45 Chester v Buxton
Chester
19:45 Mansfield v Peterborough
Draw
Mansfield haven't won any of their last six (D1, L5) while Peterborough haven't won in five (D3, L2) including drawing their last three so my money's on the stalemate here.
Draw #2-2
50 WIN
@12.00
Lose
-50
Four of the last six games played by these two were score draws and with both of them conceding for fun, I reckon a high-scoring draw is on the cards here.
17:00 Viking FK v Haugesund
Viking FK
Viking FK #3-1
50 WIN
@10.00
Lose
-50
Viking have won three and drawn one of their last four. All three of those wins saw them concede, and as two of them were 3-1, I'll go for this scoreline again as they take on a Haugesund side searching for a first win this term.

19:45 Lazio v Parma
Lazio & No (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
Lazio have won two of their last three games without conceding and I can see them doing so again here with Parma failing to score in their last two league away games.
Lazio #2-0
50 WIN
@7.00
Lose
-50
I fancy Lazio to win this one given they're in better form than Parma and a repeat of their last game, a 2-0 win over Genoa, appeals.
19:45 Verona v Cagliari
Draw
Both Verona and Cagliari lost their last match and prior to their losing runs, both had drawn, with Verona now drawing their last two at home, so I think the points could be shared here.
18:10 IFK Goteborg v GAIS
IFK Goteborg
17:30 Udinese v Bologna
Bologna & No (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
Bologna should win this one easily enough given they are in fifth in the table and in good form. While Udinese have now lost five in a row, and as the last three of those came without scoring, I can't see them troubling Bologna's defence here.
02:00 LA Galaxy v Portland Timbers
Draw
50 WIN
@3.90
Lose
-50
Galaxy have drawn three of their last six and won none of their last eight, while Portland have drawn two of their last three. So a stalemate could be on here, and it's a good price too.

22:30 Vitoria v Gremio
Vitoria
50 WIN
@2.40
Lose
-50
Vitoria are unbeaten in three games and won their last home fixture so I see them beating Gremio who have lost three and drawn one of their last four.
21:00 Minnesota United v Vancouver Whitecaps
Draw
I think a draw is on the cards here as Minnesota have drawn their last two and four of their last six. Vancouver drew last time out and have drawn two of their last four.
17:00 Juventus v Monza
Juventus #2-0
50 WIN
@6.00
Win
250
Juventus should easily see off bottom side Monza. Having won three of their last four games without conceding, I reckon a comfortable 2-0 win is in the offing.
15:30 IFK Varnamo v IFK Norrkoping
Draw
50 WIN
@3.50
Lose
-50
Varnamo have lost five in a row, but Norrkoping have also lost three times this term, including both away games. So, I reckon they could both settle for a point.
15:00 AIK v Elfsborg
AIK
A home win is my verdict here as AIK are still unbeaten this term with four wins and a draw while Elfsborg have won three in a row but have already lost once on the road.
13:00 BK Hacken v Hammarby
Hammarby
Hammarby have won four from five this season and although that loss was away from home, I think they'll be good enough to beat Hacken, who've lost three times already.
11:30 Venezia v AC Milan
Venezia
50 WIN
@5.00
Lose
-50
Venezia have only lost one of their last eight and won their last home game so could spring a shock here against a Milan side that's only won one of their last four in the league.
11:15 Fortuna Sittard v Willem II
Draw
Sittard have lost three and drawn one of their last four, while Willem II have lost seven in a row. So it's hard to back either side to win this, hence the draw pick.
02:30 Colorado Rapids v Seattle Sounders FC
Draw
50 WIN
@3.50
Win
125
Colorado drew their last match and won the one before, while Seattle have won two in a row. So these two are fairly evenly matched, and therefore I'm going for the draw.
01:30 Houston Dynamo v Austin FC
Houston Dynamo
50 WIN
@2.20
Win
60
Houston are unbeaten in three (one win, two draws) while Austin have won one of their last three and have lost two of four on the road this term. So I think the hosts can edge this one.
01:00 Botafogo v Fluminense
Botafogo
50 WIN
@2.30
Win
65
Botafogo haven't started their campaign well but they are unbeaten at home and given Fluminense have lost once on the road already, I give the hosts the edge in this one.
00:30 San Diego FC v Real Salt Lake
Draw
50 WIN
@4.00
Lose
-50
Both San Diego FC and Real Salt Lake have lost their last two matches and won the one before that so with them in identical form, I think a draw is worth a shot.
00:15 Orlando City SC v Atlanta United
Draw
50 WIN
@3.80
Lose
-50
Orlando have drawn their last three matches, all without scoring, so I can see them in another stalemate here against Atlanta, who haven't scored in any of their last two games.
00:00 Sport Recife v Fortaleza
Sport Recife
50 WIN
@2.45
Lose
-50
Neither of these sides have won their last two games, so I'm plumping for the home side to win by taking advantage of being the hosts, and not much more.

22:30 Ceara v Sao Paulo
Ceara
50 WIN
@2.30
Lose
-50
Ceara have won both of their home games so far so I'm giving them the edge over Sao Paulo, who have drawn both away games so far and are level on points with their hosts.
22:30 Mirassol v Atletico Mineiro
Mirassol
50 WIN
@3.00
Lose
-50
Mirassol are unbeaten in four games and handsomely won their last home game while Mineiro have lost both of their away games so far this term.
21:30 Philadelphia Union v DC United
Draw
50 WIN
@4.00
Lose
-50
Both Philadelphia Union and DC United won their last game and lost the one before that 1-0, so with them in very similar form, I'll back the draw at an attractive price.
20:30 Estrela Amadora v FC Porto
FC Porto #2-0
50 WIN
@7.00
Lose
-50
Porto should win this one but having won their last two by one-goal margins, I think they'll step it up here and put struggling Estrela away by a two-goal margin.
19:30 Toronto FC v New York City FC
Draw
50 WIN
@3.50
Lose
-50
Toronto have drawn three of their last four games and trail New York by four points, but with the visitors somewhat inconsistent at the start of the season, I can see this being a draw.
15:30 Santa Clara v FC Arouca
Draw #1-1
50 WIN
@6.50
Lose
-50
Santa Clara drew their last game 1-1 and Arouca drew their last away game 2-2 so I think a score draw is on the cards here.

15:00 Barrow v Bromley
Draw
Barrow have drawn their last two games 0-0 and four of their last eight while Bromley have edged 1-0 wins in their last two games, so this should be tight and could easily finish level.
15:00 Cheltenham v Carlisle
Cheltenham
50 WIN
@2.88
Win
94
Cheltenham have won two of their last three games, but both were away from home. They can turn around some poor home form given Carlisle's mixed away form of late.
15:00 Fleetwood Town v Newport County
Draw
50 WIN
@4.33
Lose
-50
Fleetwood drew their last home game and Newport County have drawn their last two and three of their last six so a draw could be worth a shot here.
15:00 Gillingham v Swindon
Gillingham
Gillingham are on a long unbeaten run and have won two of their last three with both of those wins coming at home so they can beat Swindon, who lost to Bromley last time out.
15:00 Milton Keynes Dons v Grimsby
Grimsby
50 WIN
@2.25
Lose
-50
An away win looks the choice here with MK Dons only winning one of their last seven games, and that was away, while Grimsby are well above them in the table.
15:00 Salford City v Colchester
Salford City
Salford enjoyed a good away win on Monday and can build on that against Colchester who were hammered by Doncaster away from home.

Harrogate have drawn two of their last three while Notts County drew their last away game so I'm happy to go for a draw here too.
12:30 AFC Wimbledon v Port Vale
Draw
50 WIN
@3.20
Lose
-50
Wimbledon have drawn two of their last three league games and two of their last three at home while Port Vale drew their last game so I'm happy to back another stalemate here.
12:30 Chelsea v Everton
Chelsea #2-0
50 WIN
@8.00
Lose
-50
Chelsea are unbeaten in four with two clean sheets therein while Everton are up and down now their safety has been secured so I see a comfortable win for the hosts.
12:30 Doncaster v Bradford
Doncaster
Doncaster come into this on the back of a brace of 3-0 league wins so I'm backing them to make it three wins in a row against Bradford, who've won none of their last three.

FC Utrecht #2-1
50 WIN
@9.00

I think Utrecht should be good enough to win this one, having won three of their last four (drawing the other). But as RKC have scored in two of their last three, I fancy 2-1 as the score.

PSV #2-1

@8.50

PSV should win this one, having won four of their last five in the league and Twente winning none of their last four. But they are prone to conceding, so I think 2-1 has to have a chance.

20:30 CD Alaves v Real Sociedad
Draw
Both Alaves and Sociedad drew their fixtures at the weekend, having lost the one before that and won the one before that. So this points to a draw for me.
Draw #1-1
50 WIN
@6.00
Lose
-50
Alaves drew their last game 1-1 and have drawn three of their last seven while Sociedad also drew last time out so honours could be even here with goals on the board.
20:00 Arsenal v Crystal Palace
Arsenal
19:00 FC Groningen v Heracles
Draw
Groningen have lost their last three games, but there's a chance for them here as Heracles have drawn their last two on the road and lost the two before that. So perhaps a draw is worth a punt.
18:00 Celta Vigo v Villarreal
Draw
Vigo have lost their last two but aren't far behind Villarreal in the standings so this could be a tight contest and with Villarreal drawing two of their last three, I like the look of a draw here.
