18 January 2026
11:30 Balestier Khalsa FC v Hougang United FC
Draw
50 WIN
@+320
Lose
-50
Hougang has drawn 1 and lost 1 in the last 2 games. Balestier Khalsa has lost both. I think this match is likely going to be tough, each side seeking a win, so the perfect pick is a draw.
11:30 Geylang International v Lion City Sailors FC
Geylang International
50 WIN
@+600
Lose
-50
Lion City had to go to extra time just to win the Singapore Cup final against Tampines. Geylang won 3-2 in their last league meeting, while Lion City hosted that game. Geylang is in good form and comes off a 4-1 away win. Playing host to the Lion City Sailors could prove to be a big boost for them. I will pick Geylang for the 3 points.
11:30 Kasimpasa v Antalyaspor
Antalyaspor (AH) 0.25
Asian Hcap
60 WIN
@+101
Win+Push
31
Antalyaspor has lost 4 of its last 5 games. I realise that Kas?mpa?a has not won the last 4 league games (2D, 2L). I believe Antalyaspor will be under much more pressure to get the win, given they have won 2 of their last 3 unbeaten games against Kas?mpa?a (2W, 1D). If not a draw, then Antalyaspor should be able to get all 3 points.
11:15 FC Den Bosch v Maastricht
FC Den Bosch & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
@+162
Lose
-50
Den Bosch is the favorite, so Maastricht, while struggling to get points, will just have to try to get goals. I wager a win for Den Bosch, but likely they can't keep a clean sheet.
FC Den Bosch (AH) -1.25
Asian Hcap
53 WIN
@+101
Lose
-53
Maastricht has lost 6 of their last 9 away matches (1W, 2D, 6L). Den Bosch is well balanced in home games and has now won 5 of their last 7, so I believe they are the favourites and should get a comfortable win over Maastricht.
11:15 Heerenveen v FC Groningen
Heerenveen
50 WIN
@+120
Lose
-50
Groningen has failed to score a goal in the last 2 of their recent winless fixtures. They travel to face Heerenveen, who are in top form on a 5-game unbeaten streak (4W, 1D). Heerenveen also has the boost of playing at home. I wager a win for Heerenveen.
Heerenveen & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
@+332
Lose
-50
For the last 7 games, Heerenveen has hosted Groningen. Each team has scored. Heerenveen is unbeaten for the last 5 games, and Groningen is winless for the last 3 matches. I believe each team should score, but for the home advantage, I pick Heerenveen for the win.
10:30 Erzurumspor FK v Amed SK
Amed SK (AH) 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@+101
Lose
-50
Amed has not lost a single game for the last 6 matches (5W, 1D). Erzurumspor has gone unbeaten for 11 home games this season so far. It will be a tough match for both teams as they seek a point. Most likely it will end in a tie, but with Amed 6 points clear of Erzurumspor, I would fancy a narrow win for the visitors.

20:30 Rio Ave v Benfica
Rio Ave
50 WIN
@+900
Lose
-50
Benfica has also lost the last 2 games, being knocked out of the League Cup and the Taça de Portugal. Rio Ave just triumphed 3-1 over Casa Pia in the last home game and could be very confident to replicate a similar gameplan as they welcome Benfica.
19:45 Union Saint Gilloise v KV Mechelen
KV Mechelen
50 WIN
@+900
Lose
-50
Mechelen, even in their lowest moments, are a big rival to Union Saint-Gilloise. In the last 5 matchups, Mechelen has won 2 of those, after losing 1 to the hosts (2W, 1D, 1L). I back Mechelen for the 3 points.
19:30 Hertha Berlin v Schalke
Schalke
50 WIN
@+189
Lose
-50
Schalke has not lost to Hertha Berlin for the last 3 meetings (2W, 1D). They meet Hertha at a time when the hosts are winless in their last 4 matches. Schalke is at the top of the league and needs to keep up their form if they are considering the title this season. I think they can't afford another league defeat. I wager a win for Schalke.
19:30 Young Boys v Lausanne Sports
Lausanne Sports
50 WIN
@+250
Win
125
Young Boys are on a 4-game losing streak. Lausanne has lost only 1 in their last 7 games (3W, 3D, 1L). I believe Lausanne is much more stable currently, and a win for them is imminent.
19:00 Fortuna Sittard v PSV
Fortuna Sittard
50 WIN
@+600
Lose
-50
Sittard is building on a momentum. With a recent 4-3 win over AZ Alkmaar, Sittard can also be very tough to beat as they welcome the favourites PSV, who have no pressure at the top, with them 13 points clear at the top. I will be backing Sittard for the win.
18:00 Alverca v Moreirense
Moreirense
50 WIN
@+229
Lose
-50
Moreirense sit 6th with 7 points clear of Alverca, who have now lost 3 of their last 4. Moreirense are aiming at getting into European football, so such matches are must-win games. I wager a win for the guests, who have never lost to Alverca in their entire history (3W).
17:45 PEC Zwolle v AZ
PEC Zwolle
50 WIN
@+550
Win
275
AZ Alkmaar has not been in their best form away from home, losing 4 of their last 6 (2W, 4L). Zwolle has lost only 1 of their last 5 home games (3W, 1D, 1L), and I think I will consider a win for them.
17:30 Nottm Forest v Arsenal
Nottm Forest
50 WIN
@+550
Lose
-50
Nottingham Forest now sits 7 points clear of the relegation zone, and they are hoping to make it even wider as they welcome Arsenal. The Tricky Trees could be a big threat to the Gunners. Remember, Nottingham Forest has won 3 of the last 5 games and has bested Arsenal (3W, 1D, 1L). I believe they have the potential to get a point here, if not all 3 points. From form, I believe Nottingham Forest will win this match.
17:00 Galatasaray v Gaziantep FK
Gaziantep FK
50 WIN
@+1400
Lose
-50
Gaziantep arrives here with the hope of getting the 3 points. Galatasaray remains a clear favourite, but we have seen how Galatasaray are suffering with the absence of Osimhen to the AFCON action, and I believe these odds are value for Gaziantep.
15:00 AFC Fylde v Scarborough Athletic
Scarborough Athletic
50 WIN
@+450
Lose
-50
Scarborough won the reverse fixture 2-1 back at home. Having won 2 of the 3 encounters they have met, I still find value in a win for Scarborough, who sit 6th as they seek a concrete play-off ranking. I wager a win for Scarborough.
15:00 Chelsea v Brentford
Brentford
50 WIN
@+400
Lose
-50
Liam Rosenior received his first defeat in the 3-2 loss against Arsenal and could also face another setback, as they have in-form Brentford, who arrive here on a 6-game unbeaten streak (5W, 1D). I pick Brentford for the win. Rosenior is still trying to get his first XI settled, so it might be hard for him as they welcome Brentford.
15:00 Dundee Utd v Ayr
Ayr
50 WIN
@+450
Lose
-50
Ayr is coming off a 4-1 win over Stranraer in the Challenge Cup. With Dundee Utd coming off a 4-0 defeat to Celtic and on two defeats in a row, I think Ayr is good value on offer.
15:00 Grimsby v Barnet
Grimsby
50 WIN
@+170
Win
85
Grimsby has 3 wins in a row, and it's superb playing at home. Since they sit only 1 point below Barnet, Grimsby will likely seek to jump into a better ranking above Barnet.
15:00 Hornchurch FC v Eastbourne Borough
Hornchurch FC
50 WIN
@-124
Win
40
Hornchurch hope to get back to their winning ways, as they welcome Eastbourne, who are struggling in the relegation battle and hoping to get into the top 3. I think a home boost is very determinant in the outcome of this match. I wager a win for Hornchurch.
15:00 Leeds v Fulham
Fulham
50 WIN
@+250
Lose
-50
Fulham already won 1-0 in the first leg. The return leg could be much easier for them. They arrive here on a 6-game unbeaten streak (4W, 2D). Leeds is trying to get better and better, but I pick Fulham for the 3 points.
15:00 Liverpool v Burnley
Burnley
50 WIN
@+1400
Lose
-50
If Burnley hold on to the performance we saw them display against Millwall in the FA Cup, I think Liverpool will have to be much more careful. It's a very risky bet, but I believe Burnley can record their 4th win of the season and give themselves hope of getting out of the relegation zone, with the other struggling sides having very tough fixtures.
15:00 Morecambe v Scunthorpe
Draw
50 WIN
@+300
Win
150
Morecambe last lost 6-2 and are now on a 3-game losing streak. As they seek to have a hope of getting out of the relegation zone, Morecambe will be tough to beat. I think a draw would be much more of a relief than a defeat.
15:00 Motherwell v Ross County
Ross County
50 WIN
@+1000
Lose
-50
The odds are in favour of Motherwell, but you have to consider that for the last 4 encounters, Ross County has not lost to Motherwell (2W, 2D). In the last visit here, Ross County walked away with 3 points, having won 3??"0. I wager a win for Ross County in the Scottish Cup.
15:00 Partick v Montrose
Montrose
50 WIN
@+850
Lose
-50
Montrose has lost 2 of their last 10 matches (6W, 2D, 2L). Partick is not in their best form currently, winning only 1 of their last 5 games. I think Montrose, despite playing in League One, have the potential to get the win with the current form they are in.
15:00 Solihull Moors v Carlisle
Solihull Moors
50 WIN
@+229
Lose
-50
Carlisle has lost 3 of their last 5 away matches and will face Solihull, who have been good in their recent performances, especially in their home games. They had a recent 7-1 win. I think Solihull is the better option in my view, and they are just coming off a 5-1 away win against Aldershot.
15:00 Sunderland v Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace
50 WIN
@+225
Lose
-50
Palace has undergone a very tough run of results, now winless for the last 9 matches (4D, 5L). Sunderland has been hard to beat at home, yet I believe the Eagles will be under pressure, and I expect them to push hard for a win. I pick Crystal Palace
15:00 Tottenham v West Ham
West Ham
50 WIN
@+359
Win
180
West Ham and Tottenham are not in good form, but with the pressure of the relegation zone, I think West Ham will fight for the three points.
14:30 Borussia Dortmund v St Pauli
St Pauli
50 WIN
@+1100
Lose
-50
St. Pauli was on a 5-game unbeaten streak just before suffering a late 2-1 defeat to Wolfsburg. Now they are keen to get back to another good performance. That's against Dortmund, who remain the favourite. I am convinced of a win for St. Pauli.
14:30 Cologne v Mainz
Mainz
50 WIN
@+240
Lose
-50
Mainz hasn't lost in the last 6 games (2W, 4D). With Cologne struggling to get results, it would be reasonable for the away side to get the 3 points.
14:30 TSG Hoffenheim v Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen
50 WIN
@+187
Lose
-50
Bayer Leverkusen has not lost any game to Hoffenheim in the last 5 games they have visited here (4W, 1D). The two sides are apart by only 1 point, and hopefully Leverkusen is seeking the 3 points for a Champions League spot in the league at the end of the season.
14:00 Avellino v Carrarese
Carrarese
50 WIN
@+240
Win
120
Carrarese has gone 8 away matches without a win, and I believe they are ready to change that today. I expect a win for the guests.
13:00 AD Ceuta v Valladolid
AD Ceuta
Valladolid has won only one of their 7 away games (1W, 2D, 4L). Ceuta has lost only 2 of their home games this season (7W, 1D, 2L). I wager a win for the hosts.
13:00 Real Madrid v Levante
Levante
50 WIN
@+1500
Lose
-50
Levante is on a 3-game unbeaten streak. With Real Madrid under a new manager, they were knocked out of the Copa del Rey and are now on a two-game losing streak. I think I will consider Levante a win. Note, they have won 2 of the last 4 games they have hosted against Real Madrid.
13:00 Troyes v Reims
Reims
50 WIN
@+209
Lose
-50
Troyes sit 1st and are clear by 5 points over Dunkerque, who played their 19th match and are 2nd with 33 points. Reims are 3rd and are unbeaten in the last 9 games. Note also that they have not lost to Troyes in the last 3 encounters (1W, 2D). I wager a win for Reims.
12:30 Bradford v Cardiff
Cardiff
Cardiff still sits at the top with 52 points, but the gap is growing narrow, with their rivals trying to reach them. Having drawn two of their last three games, Cardiff has a very tough match, which, in my view, they can't afford to lose against Bradford. I believe they are determined to get the 3 points.
12:30 Chesterfield v Bromley
Bromley
Bromley has now won 7 consecutive games, and 3 of those wins are clean sheets. Meaning Bromley is a good side currently for the win. Apparently, they have not reported any new cases of absences from their first team, so I pick them for the 3 points.
12:30 Coventry v Leicester
Leicester
Coventry has not been in their best form, and now they face Leicester, a much-improved side. Coventry has only 2 wins in their last 9 games (2W, 3D, 4L). I believe Leicester is the better option for the 3 points here.
12:30 Man Utd v Man City
Man Utd
50 WIN
@+259
Win
130
Michael Carrick will be very optimistic and keen to extend his streak. This is his 4th match in charge of Man Utd, and he faces his first challenge against Man City. Remember, he led Man Utd to wins over Arsenal and Villarreal and also drew against Chelsea in those three matches back in 2021. I expect him to have an immediate effect at Man Utd. With the Red Devils boosted by the return of Amad and Mbeumo, it's a big day for the fans and the club. It's derby day, and we can expect the very best from Man Utd.

20:15 Sporting v Casa Pia
Casa Pia
50 WIN
@+1200
Lose
-50
Sporting CP has more than 10 players missing for this match. With Casa Pia coming off a disappointing 3-1 defeat against Rio Ave, they will need a win to boost themselves in their fight to stay safe in the league. Arouca will be playing AVS tomorrow, and Arouca is likely to get a win. That puts pressure on Casa Pia to get back into the relegation zone. I think, despite Sporting CP being the clear favourite, we can expect a decent display from Casa Pia as they seek a win.
20:00 PSG v Lille
Lille
50 WIN
@+900
Lose
-50
Lille arrives here after losing 2-1 in the cup back at home grounds. PSG also lost 1-0 here to Paris FC, and both teams are very keen to get 3 points. For me, I pick Lille. They arrive here after 3 wins and 1 defeat in their last 4 away games, so they can still avoid defeat here, as they are now on a 2-game losing streak. I believe today they can avoid defeat.
20:00 West Brom v Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough
50 WIN
@+187
Win
94
Middlesbrough will have much pressure to maintain the 2nd place, given that in-form Ipswich is playing tomorrow. With West Brom in very poor form compared to Middlesbrough, it looks more favorable for the guests to force a win.
19:45 Club Brugge v RAAL La Louviere
RAAL La Louviere
50 WIN
@+850
Win
425
RAAL La Louvière finds themselves struggling in the relegation battle in their debut season in the Pro League. However, RAAL beat Club Brugge in the first leg when they met in September last year. With Club Brugge also not in their best form, I would consider a very risky bet for RAAL. A win here keeps them a bit more hopeful of surviving in the league.
19:45 Rangers v Annan Athletic
Annan Athletic
50 WIN
@+5000
Lose
-50
Rangers are in very top form right now, having won 5 games in a row, with 3 clean sheets in those victories. Annan is a good team, though not in their best form right now, and sits 7th in the Scottish League Two. I will be risking a win for Annan in the cup.
19:30 CD Castellon v Leganes
CD Castellon
55 WIN
@-142
Win
38
20 points of Castellón's 35 have come at home grounds. Lately, they have won the last 5 at home. I believe Castellón has a high chance of getting the 3 points.
19:30 Werder Bremen v Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt
Despite losing 3-2 to Stuttgart, Frankfurt played very well. Werder Bremen is not in their best form and are winless for the last 7 (3D, 4L). Frankfurt has won 4 of the last 7 (4W, 2D, 1L), so I will be backing Frankfurt for the 3 points.
19:00 ADO Den Haag v Cambuur Leeuwarden
Cambuur Leeuwarden
50 WIN
@+340
Win
170
Cambuur has won the last 3 visits, and has also won 5 of the last 6 meetings against ADO. ADO Den is at the top, but lost 2-1 at this ground last month. Cambuur arrives here on an 8-game unbeaten streak (6W, 2D), and I believe they are very keen to narrow the gap as they seek the title. I wager a win for Cambuur.
19:00 Dunkerque v Pau
Dunkerque
50 WIN
@-124
Win
40
Dunkerque sits 4th on home form in the league so far, with 15 points over the nine games they have played. Pau is only 3 points behind Dunkerque at least, but the slight home advantage could be a big boost for Dunkerque to widen the gap between them. I will pick the hosts for the 3 points.
19:00 Rodez v Le Mans
Le Mans
Le Mans has secured a Ligue 1 promotion play-off slot, but must push even further. Remember, only 7 points separate them and the leaders Troyes, so this league is still very open. Rodez is not in its best form, and Le Mans is also unbeaten for the last 17 matches. The form is incredible. I wager a win for Le Mans.
18:00 FC Arges Pitesti v FCSB
FCSB
FCSB has not lost any league match for the last 8 rounds (5W, 3D). They will face Arge?, who has now lost 3 games in a row and remained winless for the last 4. I believe FCSB is the better option for the 3 points.
18:00 Monaco v Lorient
Lorient
Lorient could be heading back to their best form, and arrive here on a 4-game away unbeaten streak (2W, 2D) and unbeaten for the last 8 games (4W, 4D). Monaco has been on a bumpy road of results. Here, I think I will be supporting Lorient for the 3 points. We have seen them score 7 goals in a 7-1 recently in the Coupe de France.
17:30 Al Ittihad Jeddah v Al Ittifaq Dammam
Al Ittifaq Dammam
50 WIN
@+750
Win
375
Ittihad and Ettifaq are only 5 points apart, and with Ettifaq losing 2-1 at home to Khaleej, I believe they are ready to make a tough challenge against Ittihad, who drew 1-1 with Damac. It's a very risky bet for Ettifaq, as they seek to get a better ranking.
11:30 Tampines Rovers FC v Young Lions
Young Lions
50 WIN
@+2400
Lose
-50
Young Lions has lost all their 5 matches so far, conceding 17 goals and scoring only 4. Tampines has not won the last 2 games but remains the favourite. I would try Young Lions, as they seek to get their 1st win of the season.
08:35 Melbourne City v Auckland FC
Auckland FC
50 WIN
@+187
Lose
-50
Auckland sits 7 points clear of Melbourne City, and they are keen to extend their lead to 5 points to exert more pressure on Sydney, who will sit 2nd with 22 points and will play later on Sunday. I wager a win for Auckland.
