19:45 Inter Milan v Napoli

Over 2.50

50 WIN

@2.30

First meet third. Contrary to the betting, over 2.5 goals may be the value call. It should be an entertaining game. Milan scoring 29, Fiorentina conceding 30.

18:02 6:02 Towcester

Unlikely Doohoma

Daily Races

50 WIN

@2.20

Win

Best bet of the meeting is in the last. Unlikely Doohoma in the plum box of red. If getting away on terms and avoiding crowding for once, he can take advantage of the drop in grade. Nothing to find against these on the clock. I envisaged him being odds-on.

18:00 BUF Bills @ JAX Jaguars

BUF Bills

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.05

Win

After two big winners in the first two wildcard playoffs, this could be another. The Jaguars have really turned the corner since Week Ten. They are in good form; however, they are meeting a Bills side who have been in this position before and know what it takes to get over the line. Plus Josh Allen is in good nick and a few key personnel are coming back, which could edge a close encounter.

BUF Bills 1.50

Point Spread

50 WIN

@1.91

Win

Buffalo head to Jacksonville and I fancy them to get over the line in the outright market. Receiving 1.5 start on the Vegas line, they are the pick. I had them conceding 1 point. Their season's been all over the place, but I think they'll win by a touchdown.

Under 51.00

50 WIN

This could be a very tight affair, which I feel the Bills will edge. Popular consensus suggests points galore, but I think it'll be more cagey than that. I'm going under 51.

BUF Bills - BUF Bills

Double Result

50 WIN

@3.40

Bills one of my ante-post picks and this is new territory for the Jaguars. But Bills can put their 13 playoff season experience to good use and win both halves.

BUF Bills Over 24.50

Bills will win, and this line looks lower than I envisaged. I'm happy to go overs at around odds of 4/5.

17:00 Verona v Lazio

Lazio

50 WIN

@2.50

Win

Lazio are not the force of old and lie tenth, but they should beat bottom club Verona, who've only won one game at home and away. 6/4 looks quite generous.

16:30 Aberdeen v Rangers

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.80

Aberdeen look a shadow of their former selves, and Rangers are slowly turning things around. Both sides have issues in defence, which suggests there could well be goals in this.

16:30 Bayern Munich v Wolfsburg

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.22

Win

Bayern can't stop scoring and have won 13 and drawn 2 of their 15 games. Their last 6 games have seen 22 goals both for and against. Wolfsburg scored and conceded 12 apiece in their last 6.

16:30 Man Utd v Brighton

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.48

Win

Remains to be seen what sides the managers turn out, but these sides invariably provide entertaining games. Both first-11 defenses are not the most solid. This points to goals.

Brighton have a decent record in the last 6 years at Old Trafford, losing 2 and winning 3. Could be a bit of value here if United field a weakened side and rotate. BTTS and away win.

4 places up for grabs. Could be worth chancing the ex-Gepege Boughey runner who changed stables for 26,000 guineas since his run 89 days ago when second at Lingfield. The winner that day has gone in again. Interesting: Gina takes the ride and not Harry, who can claim 7 for his stablemate. His place form should see him involved. He's won over the trip.

This looks to concern traps 5 and 6. Preference for the former, who holds these on the clock. Dropping down into A11, there should be no excuses against this opposition.

LETS GO GIRL holds this field on the clock. If she breaks well she can lead these from the first. She's hit and miss at the trap, but against this opposition she might get away with it. She's a class act in this.

@1.53

Win

265

New managers, new Chelsea? He cannot avoid putting out a weakened first eleven in what looks like a potential banana skin of a cup tie. With Charlton only having kept one clean sheet in six and Chelsea keeping conceding, this most definitely points to overs. 8/15 may look short, but I envisaged nearer 1/3 in my mind for value.

This looks between the red and stripe boxes. At the prices, the value lies with the wide runner at 9/4. Boasts early pace. Slow starter and vacant trap in 4 should give him a clear run to the first and be away and gone.

At 66/1 outright, competition TWO SPOT is fair value with four places up for grabs. The further he's gone, the better he's looked. This trip should be right up his street.

@6.50

Ramon Di Loria has been out of sorts this season but got back on track when third earlier in the week. He's turned out again quickly off the same mark. I cannot envisage him out of the frame. Getting a tiny bit of value at 11/2 as I envisaged 5/1.

There is no guarantee the red box will lead up and odd on makes no appeal. GARFINEY BLAZE won this competition the last two years. If turning second or third, she can outstay this field, with the added bonus of being odds-against.

Jiang Jun

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.85

Win

Although Oliver Lines is ranked higher of the two at 58 for this Welsh Open qualifier, with Jiang Jun at 84, Jiang has played more framed snooker and is 3 from 3, winning two German Masters qualifiers to get to the main draw and one Welsh Open qualifier. Oliver has played only one match recently and may be a bit rusty, having been on the shootout scene and only won one frame in competitive play since October. Value lies with Jiang.

Jiang Jun 0.50

Handicap Betting

50 WIN

@1.83

For reasons outlined, I fancy Jiang Jun to win this qualifier. I envisage him giving up a frame and a half on the handicap, so get half a frame. He's a must bet. These two have met once in Champions League last July and shared the four frames.

Ricky Walden

Ricky Walden is ranked 48th in this Welsh Open qualifying round. Although I can see Liam pitching a frame, Ricky should come through. Neither player is in great form. In three meetings he's won three out of three. They met twice in Chinese Grand Prix qualifiers in 2024 and 2025.

Droopy Flare is the class act in this, but she could have been better drawn than in box 4. Princess Matilda: the same applies as a middle seed in 6. But she tends to miss the break and could well benefit from the likely crowding. I envisaged her being around 5/1, getting value.

This looks to concern the selection and odds-on favourite. Only Mango have trialled around here for this competition. But there should not be such a huge gulf in the betting, as Disco has beaten him before at Hove. Not inconceivable he can lead up as sole wide seed. He would certainly benefit if the likely crowding occurs.

There's a good chance the two at the head of the betting could tangle with each other as they both have early pace. Lead By Example can slow, wide, seed vacant trap on his inner; maybe the beneficiary. Staying on best of all and holds these on the clock with a best time of 27.65 in D1.

We don't know how strong the managers' teams will be this afternoon as I write this, but there's not much between these two sides in the league to justify the hosts' short price. Watford have won their last 4 games. Look decent at 5/2.

I keep putting up Spurs at 7/4. They need to win this; otherwise I can see a parting of the ways with their manager.

This really is all Spurs have to play for this season, so I'm expecting a strong first eleven. Villa have ground-out results and should score against a poor Spurs defence.
