11:00 Netherlands vs Romania
Netherlands
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.67
Win
34
Due to their superior overall squad depth, high-level international experience, and a proven track record of performing well in major competitions, they are the clear favorites. Their powerful attack and well-organized defense will likely be too much for the Romanian side to handle consistently over the course of the match.
Netherlands to win 3-0
Set Score
50 WIN
@4.50
Win
175
final set score will be 3-0 for the Netherlands. While Romania has shown moments of strength, the Dutch team's consistency and ability to execute in all facets of the game, particularly their blocking and service game, should prevent Romania from winning a set. The Netherlands' recent 3-0 victory over Egypt, a team of similar ranking to Romania, also supports this prediction.
10:30 Slovenia vs Bulgaria
Slovenia
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.75
Lose
-50
Slovenia due to their superior depth, recent consistency in major tournaments, and the motivation to avenge their recent loss to Bulgaria. While Bulgaria is a young and dangerous team, Slovenia's veteran leadership and structured tactical approach should allow them to handle the pressure and execute at a higher level over the course of the match.
Slovenia to win 3-1
Set Score
50 WIN
@4.75
Lose
-50
Set score will be 3-1 for Slovenia. This is because Slovenia's overall experience and tactical discipline give them an edge, but Bulgaria has shown they can compete and take a set against top opponents. The VNL 2025 result where Bulgaria won a set and the overall competitive nature of their rivalry suggest that a clean sweep for Slovenia is unlikely.
10:00 Ding Junhui v Liam Pullen
Ding Junhui -2.50
Handicap Betting
50 WIN
@2.00
Win
50
Ding's class should tell in this best-of-seven format. He is adept at closing out frames in a single visit and his safety play will likely force errors from the less-experienced Pullen, leading to a comfortable winning margin.
Ding Junhui to win 4-1
Frame Betting
50 WIN
@3.30
Win
115
Pullen's recent form suggests he has the quality to take a frame or two from a top player. He is unlikely to be whitewashed, but Ding's superior consistency will likely see him close out the match without much of a late-match struggle.
10:00 Si Jiahui v Liu Hongyu
Si Jiahui
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.36
Win
18
Si Jiahui's superior recent form, consistent break-building, and greater experience in high-pressure matches make him the clear favorite. He is more likely to maintain his composure and capitalize on Liu Hongyu's potential errors.
Si Jiahui -1.50
Handicap Betting
50 WIN
@1.75
Win
38
Given the wide gap in ranking and consistency, Si Jiahui is expected to dominate this best-of-seven match. His ability to control the table will likely lead to a comfortable victory, comfortably covering the handicap.
Si Jiahui to win 4-1
Frame Betting
50 WIN
@4.33
Lose
-50
Liu Hongyu has shown enough talent to win a frame against a top player, as evidenced by his win over Sam Craigie. However, Si Jiahui's all-around game should be too strong for him to take more than one frame in a best-of-seven format.

Cameron Young
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@34.00
Lose
-50
Young is a high-variance player with a reputation for starting tournaments hot. His length off the tee and aggressive style are well-suited for the Silverado North Course. A morning tee time with calm conditions, as forecasted, will allow him to take advantage of his elite ball-striking and go low early, making him a strong FRL pick.
Jackson Koivun
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@51.00
Lose
-50
Koivun is a young, fearless player who has been trending well in his recent starts. He is not a professional yet, which might remove some pressure, allowing him to play with more freedom. His improved iron play and Tee-to-Green game, combined with a local California connection, make him a compelling longshot for a low opening round.
Russell Henley
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@26.00
Win
131
Henley is a short-game and putting specialist who excels on greens with undulations like those at Silverado. He has a history of strong starts and is known for his ability to gain strokes on the greens. With a focus on Par 5 scoring, a key statistical layer for this course, he has a strong chance to post a low number on Thursday.
22:45 Procore Championship
Justin Thomas
25 EW
@17.00
Lose
-50
Thomas is a past winner of this event and has a game that is well-suited for Silverado's layout, which rewards aggressive play and elite iron shots. His recent form has been strong, and he's been trending upward in his putting, a key statistical layer for success here. With Ryder Cup qualification pressure now off, he can play with more freedom, which often leads to his best performances.
Patton Kizzire
25 EW
@251.00
Lose
-50
As the defending champion, Kizzire has a psychological edge and clear comfort on the course. Last year, he put on a putting masterclass, gaining over 2 strokes on the greens per round. While his overall form may not be at the same level as the favorites, his past success and demonstrated ability to score low here make him an intriguing outsider with a realistic path to contention.
Sam Burns
25 EW
@17.00
Lose
-50
Burns is a two-time winner at this event and has a proven track record of success at Silverado. His course history is exceptional, including a T7 last year and his wins in 2022 and 2023. He excels on courses that demand a "birdie-or-better" mentality, a crucial element at Silverado. His odds provide excellent value for a player with such a strong historical bias at this specific course.
Scottie Scheffler
50 WIN
@3.10
Win
105
Scheffler is a dominant force in the golf world and is the overwhelming favorite for a reason. His SG: Tee-to-Green and SG: Approach are in a class of their own. While the Silverado North Course is scoreable, a high-caliber field featuring many of his Ryder Cup teammates will motivate him to perform, and his consistent ball-striking is a perfect fit for a course where winning scores are routinely at -16 or better.
19:00 Turkiye vs Germany
Germany
Money Line
50 WIN
@1.73
Win
37
their experience as reigning World Champions, combined with the elite two-way play of Dennis Schröder and Franz Wagner, gives them an edge in a high-pressure final. Their depth and ability to handle a variety of defensive schemes will be the deciding factor against a very strong Turkish side.
Germany -2.50
Pointspread
50 WIN
@1.91
Win
46
The spread is razor-thin, and Turkey's sheer offensive talent and momentum suggest they will keep this game extremely close. They have been a difficult team to contain, and even in a loss, I expect them to cover a narrow spread, especially given their dominant interior presence in Sengun, which poses a unique challenge for Germany.
Over 173.50
Game Totals
50 WIN
@1.95
Lose
-50
Over because both teams possess exceptional offenses that have averaged over 90 points per game throughout the tournament. The star power, up-tempo pace, and a final-game atmosphere where both teams will be leaving everything on the floor will result in a high-scoring, back-and-forth affair that easily surpasses the total.
18:00 GS Valkyries @ MIN Lynx
MIN Lynx -12.50
Pointspread
50 WIN
@1.91
Win
46
The spread is set at Lynx -12.5. The Lynx's ATS record is 26-15, and they've shown an ability to cover against similar opponents, though the Valkyries have a solid 27-16-1 ATS record, indicating they play teams tough. However, the Lynx have won their previous matchups by double figures.

The total is set around 147.5. Both teams have strong defenses, but the Lynx's offensive efficiency is top-tier. The total has gone OVER in only one of the Lynx's last five games. However, their regular-season matchups have trended slightly higher.
17:15 BMW PGA Championship
Rory McIlroy
50 WIN
@6.50
Lose
-50
A recent playoff victory at the Irish Open signals elite form and a sharp competitive edge. Despite a quick turnaround, his motivation will be sky-high after losing in a playoff here last year. His game profile of elite ball-striking (SG: Tee-to-Green) is a perfect fit for the West Course, which demands precision and distance off the tee.
Tommy Fleetwood
25 EW
@10.00
Lose
-50
Fleetwood is coming off a strong season, including a PGA Tour win, and possesses an impeccable course history at Wentworth. As a local favorite, he will have the support of the home crowd, a significant psychological boost. His consistent iron play and ability to navigate tricky conditions make him a low-volatility, high-probability pick for contention.
Viktor Hovland
25 EW
@15.00
Lose
-2
Hovland has had a few weeks off, mitigating any travel fatigue, which allows him to be well-rested and prepared. His SG: Tee-to-Green ranks in the top tier of the field, and his improved short game and putting have elevated his overall scoring. He is a formidable contender, offering excellent value at his current odds.

Corey Conners
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@41.00
Lose
-50
Conners is one of the best iron players in the world and consistently ranks high in SG: Approach. His methodical and precise game is ideal for a course like Wentworth. He is a classic low-volatility scorer who can consistently hit fairways and greens, making him a safe bet to post a solid opening round.
Hideki Matsuyama
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@51.00
Lose
-50
Matsuyama's immense talent and ball-striking prowess are undeniable. While his putting can be inconsistent, he is capable of a hot round at any time. The fact that he's playing in his debut at the BMW PGA Championship might remove some of the mental pressure, allowing him to free-wheel it and produce a very low score in the first round. His odds are fantastic for a player of his caliber.
Rasmus Hojgaard
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@51.00
Lose
-50
Højgaard is a young, aggressive player who thrives on confidence and has shown a propensity for hot rounds. His recent form, while not a win, has been solid and he's been trending well in ball-striking metrics. His length and creativity make him a prime FRL candidate at generous odds.
15:00 Greece vs Finland
Greece
Money Line
50 WIN
@1.50
Win

their superior roster depth and the immense individual talent of Giannis Antetokounmpo should ultimately prevail. Finland’s three-point shooting can be a game-changer, but Greece’s defense, particularly with Giannis, is better equipped to handle them, especially after a disappointing semifinal loss that will fuel their motivation.
Greece -4.50
Pointspread
50 WIN
@1.87
Lose
-50
Greece -6.5 because they will be fired up after their semifinal loss and will want to make a statement. While Finland has been a great story, their offensive reliance on Markkanen and the three-ball can be streaky. Greece's tactical adjustments and interior dominance with Giannis should allow them to pull away in the second half.

both teams have shown they can score in bunches. While the bronze medal game can sometimes be a defensive slugfest, the offensive philosophies of both teams lean toward a higher pace. Finland's reliance on the three-point line and Greece's transition game with Giannis will push the score over the total, especially as defenses tire late in the game.

ERC Ingolstadt is an established DEL team with superior player quality, depth, and tactical experience compared to a newly promoted Dresden side. Their roster is built to compete in the top league, while Dresden's is still untested at this level.

Ingolstadt's offensive firepower and depth should be too much for Dresden's defense. Ingolstadt is accustomed to playing at a faster pace, and they will likely exploit Dresden's defensive weaknesses, leading to a multi-goal victory.

both teams have shown a tendency for high-scoring games, albeit against different levels of competition. Dresden's aggressive style at home, combined with Ingolstadt's potent offense, creates a scenario where both teams will contribute to a high final score.

their superior offensive depth, combined with their historical dominance and significant home-ice advantage, makes them the overwhelming favorites. Herlev's recent roster changes are not enough to bridge the historical gap, and their pre-season form has shown defensive vulnerabilities.

Aalborg has not only won but has often covered the puck line, with scorelines like 7-3 and 6-3. Their potent offense is more than capable of scoring multiple goals and pulling away from Herlev.

the last four matchups between these teams have consistently been high-scoring affairs, with both sides contributing to the offense. Both teams have shown defensive weaknesses in their pre-season, and given Aalborg's aggressive style and Herlev's potential for counter-attacks, a high-event game is the most probable outcome.

Arnaud Démare is a seasoned and prolific sprinter with a proven track record of winning at the highest level. His recent return to form, combined with his experience in positioning and race-craft, gives him a significant edge. In a direct sprint, Démare's raw speed and tactical intelligence are superior to Fretin's. Although Fretin has shown flashes of brilliance, he lacks the consistent top-level results to match Démare in a direct head-to-head.

Giovanni Lonardi is a consistent and experienced sprinter with a proven track record of winning and placing highly in professional races. His recent victory on a stage of the Tour de la Provence showcases his current form and top-end speed. In contrast, Steffen De Schuyteneer is a promising young rider who is still developing, and while talented, he lacks Lonardi's experience and consistent winning pedigree at the professional level.

Jules Hesters is a consistent performer in bunch sprints, with several top-10 finishes in professional races, including a 3rd place on a stage of the Presidential Cycling Tour of Türkiye. His experience and race craft as a road and track cyclist give him a slight edge over Bomboi. While Davide Bomboi has shown strong potential, his recent results have been less consistent than Hesters, making him a riskier pick in a direct sprint duel.

Pascal Ackermann has shown a return to form with Israel-Premier Tech, demonstrating solid sprint results including a 4th place on a Tour de France stage. His team has a dedicated sprint train, which is a key advantage. While Sam Bennett has a strong historical record, his recent results have been inconsistent and his team situation at DECATHLON AG2R LA MONDIALE has been less stable, with the team focused on a new sprinter for the future.

Waerenskjold is a unique sprinter with an exceptional blend of time trial power and raw top-end speed, making him highly durable in tough, selective sprints. His recent victory in the prologue of the 2025 Lidl Deutschland Tour and his overall win in the same race demonstrate his sustained power output. This power allows him to excel in finishes that are not a pure bunch sprint, such as those with an uphill drag or a technical, power-sapping finale. While Paul Magnier is a highly promising talent with a strong finish, as evidenced by his recent podium in Hamburg and a stage win at the Tour de Pologne, Waerenskjold's proven ability to win in varied and difficult conditions gives him a significant edge in a head-to-head matchup. He is less dependent on a perfect lead-out and can initiate his own sprint from further out, neutralizing Magnier's pure sprint speed.

Gerben Thijssen

Thijssen has consistently demonstrated superior top-end sprint speed and tactical acumen in recent high-level sprints, especially in chaotic finishes. His team, Intermarché-Wanty, is highly proficient at building a consistent and effective lead-out train, with experienced riders like Boy van Poppel who have a proven track record of delivering him to the optimal launch position. In contrast, while Phil Bauhaus is a powerful sprinter, his team's lead-out unit has shown less cohesion and consistency in recent races, leaving him more exposed and reliant on finding a favorable wheel in the final meters, which is a less reliable strategy in a head-to-head matchup.

Chang's recent victories have been dominant, often featuring whitewashes (4-0) or large-margin wins (4-1). His high-scoring style is well-suited to covering a significant handicap in a Best of 7 match format.

-50
While a 4-0 whitewash is plausible, the 4-1 scoreline offers a slightly safer pick. It accounts for a potential 'scrappy' frame where Gong might steal a win through a long safety exchange or capitalizing on a rare missed ball from Chang. However, the overall dominance in scoring from Chang Bingyu will prove too much for Gong, leading to a decisive victory.

Based on a combination of superior current form, higher break-building consistency, and a recent convincing 4-0 head-to-head victory, He Guoqiang is a heavy favorite. His confidence and tactical superiority make him a very tough opponent for Ajaib.
He Guoqiang -1.50

The recent 4-0 whitewash is the strongest indicator for this pick. Ajaib's recent losses by large margins and his inability to generate significant scoring opportunities against strong players make it highly probable that Guoqiang will cover this handicap.

The most recent head-to-head result was a 4-0 whitewash, and given Ajaib's continued struggle for form, this scoreline is very much on the cards. While a 4-1 is also plausible, Guoqiang has shown he can be utterly ruthless against this opponent. The combination of his high scoring and Ajaib's low average points per frame makes a whitewash a significant possibility.

Ukraine due to their superior recent form, rising global ranking, and the positive impact of a new, experienced head coach.

3-2 in favor of Ukraine. The historical rivalry and recent five-set matches between these two teams suggest a highly competitive, back-and-forth contest.

I predict the set score will be 3-1 in favor of Iran. Iran's consistent attack and disciplined blocking will allow them to control the match. However, Egypt’s fighting spirit and offensive power are enough to cause problems for Iran, likely securing them a set through a strong service run or a tactical adjustment.

I predict the set score will be 3-1 in favor of Argentina due to their established offensive system and overall tactical superiority, which will allow them to control the match. Finland's recent momentum will be enough to take a set, but they will struggle to maintain the high level of play needed to overcome Argentina's consistent attack and strong defensive structure.
