14:00 Cork v Limerick
Limerick
FT Result
110 WIN
@-136
Win
80
Now this will be a tight one, but ultimately I can see Limerick coming out on top by a small margin. Two strong teams and serious contenders, but Limerick have that extra level that I feel will push them through.
Limerick -1.50
Handicap
120 WIN
@-120
Lose
-120
Let's take the Limerick handicap here. I expect this to be a very close game, and the -1.5 handicap reflects that perfectly in my opinion. This is a bit of a coin flip, but let's have a go at it.

18:00 Longford v Down
Down
FT Result
500 WIN
@-499
Win
100
Hard to look past Down this afternoon given they are favourites for the Tailteann Cup this year. Longford will struggle this afternoon. Large real-money bet on Down.
Down -5.50
Handicap
500 WIN
@-124
Win
400
If Down can in any way replicate their style of play in the Ulster Championship, then this -5.5 handicap will be absolutely smashed. I predict a tough day incoming for Longford here.
17:00 Wicklow v Tipperary
Wicklow
FT Result
110 WIN
@-277
Win
40
Wicklow are not doing too badly this year and seem to be in a stable place. By no means are they Tailteann Cup contenders, but they absolutely have the better of this Tipperary team.
Wicklow -4.50
Handicap
120 WIN
@-120
Win
100
Wicklow -4.5 bet is exactly what I expect to see here, so this will be a coin flip. I suspect the weather conditions will have a lot to do with whether they beat it or not.

19:15 Armagh v Derry
Armagh
FT Result
500 WIN
@-175
Win
285
Potential for match of the weekend as a strong Armagh come up against a very flat Derry team. The momentum Armagh have carried through the Ulster Championship will be hard to stop, and it is certainly not Derry to do that.
Armagh -2.50
Handicap
500 WIN
@-120
Win
415
A -2.5 handicap here is ridiculous. Armagh racked up 40+ points against a Down team who are arguably on par with the current Derry side. Armagh will blow this handicap out of the water. My prediction is a 10+ point win.
17:00 Westmeath v Cavan
Westmeath
FT Result
500 WIN
@-175
Lose
-500
Westmeath's momentum is difficult to ignore here and they will certainly be licking their lips after being drawn against Cavan. Cavan are very flat and there is not much to say about it. Westmeath's momentum and recent tactical injection for Mark McHugh should see Westmeath through here.
Westmeath -2.50
Handicap
500 WIN
@-109
Lose
-500
As handicaps go, this is a no-brainer. See my match outcome comment for more details. Pending a shock here, I can't see anything other than a Westmeath 6??"9 point victory.

15:30 Eva Lys vs Sorana Cirstea
Sorana Cirstea
Win Match
100 WIN
@-400
Win

Sorana is ironically peaking in her retirement year, and an average Eva Lys cannot stop her this afternoon. I can see this being a heavy defeat for Lys.
Sorana Cirstea
1st Set Winner
300 WIN
@-303
Win

As mentioned in my match outcome, Sorana is peaking in her retirement year and is expected to win this match fairly comfortably this afternoon. Straight sets incoming, and first set to double down on that prediction.
15:30 Mirra Andreeva vs Marina Bassols Ribera
Under 17.50

@-124

Rough draw for MBR coming up against Andreeva, who has a 75% win rate on clay. Match outcome can and will only go one way.
10:00 Caty McNally vs Belinda Bencic
Belinda Bencic
Win Match
100 WIN
@-333
Win
30
Belinda is in the driving seat here this afternoon and I don't think McNally can do anything about that. Due to the short time constraints, I'll leave my comment at that.
10:00 Tamara Korpatsch vs Xinyu Wang
Xinyu Wang
Win Match
220 WIN
@-109
Lose
-220
Wang has won all 3 of their H2H matches over the last 5 years. Unfortunately, Wang is struggling a bit recently, while Tamara is in good form, beating lower-level opponents. Let's stick with the stats on this.
Xinyu Wang
1st Set Winner
220 WIN
@-109
Lose
-220
As mentioned in my match outcome comment, Wang has won all of their previous H2Hs but is on a rocky, inconsistent run at the moment. Let's hope she can snap out of this and take the first set.

17:30 Simona Waltert vs Katerina Siniakova
Katerina Siniakova
Win Match
356 WIN
@-227
Win
157
Siniakova is in the position of power here. Higher-ranked and a better overall player and in better form in 2026. The odds do not reflect the reality here; hence I am jumping on this one. Pending no upset, this is a straightforward win for Katerina Siniakova.
16:30 Victoria Mboko vs Nikola Bartunkova
Nikola Bartunkova
Win Match
240 WIN
@+275
Lose
-240
At these odds, and after the season Bartunkova has had at the AO and also in Rome, this is a serious value bet. Bartunkova took out Bencic in Australia and also defeated Madison Keys in Rome on clay a few weeks ago, only to lose to Svitolina. Serious talent, which is not surprising considering she is from Czechia... If you know, you know.
Nikola Bartunkova
1st Set Winner
150 WIN
@+220
Lose
-150
See my match outcome comment for some context, but the gist of it is that for the year Bart??ková is having, this is a serious value bet.
16:00 Anhelina Kalinina vs Diane Parry
Anhelina Kalinina
Win Match
500 WIN
@-249
Lose
-500
The Ukrainian Kalinina is a good player. I've watched her courtside. Not a top-10 player but can certainly hold her own in the mid rankings. Parry had some luck when she beat Raducanu (who is now a Z-list tennis player), and if all goes to plan, Kalinina will win this.
Anhelina Kalinina
1st Set Winner
99 WIN
@-200
Win
50
A first set win here is likely and i think the Ukranian will win this in straight sets. Have a look at my match outcome analysis for some more details

Oleksandra Oliynykova
Win Match
500 WIN
@-208
Win
240
Oliynykova is off to a great start to 2026, and I expect this momentum to continue. She has the killer instinct and, although not the best player on tour, should put Pridankina away easily in straight sets.
Oleksandra Oliynykova
1st Set Winner
500 WIN
@-188
Win
265
A likely straight-sets win ahead for OO. I can't see Pridankina having much to say about that. 1st set OO is my bet, especially at these odds.
13:30 Anna Kalinskaya vs Lois Boisson
Anna Kalinskaya
Win Match
140 WIN
@-175
Win
80
Anna Kalinskaya is a much better player overall than Boisson. Higher rank and much better tennis technique, which is obvious if you watch both of them. Kalinskaya's 2026 is going good, which is more than can be said for Boisson.
Anna Kalinskaya
1st Set Winner
130 WIN
@-161
Win
81
This may extend to a 3-setter, but I expect Kalinskaya to come out on top and win the first set this afternoon.
13:30 Antonia Ruzic vs Ashlyn Krueger
Ashlyn Krueger
Win Match
140 WIN
@-175
Lose
-140
After watching both courtside this year, it's a little shocking to see the odds on offer here. Ruzic should be a heavier favourite, especially looking at the metrics and play style. Ruzic should be winning this one.
Ashlyn Krueger
1st Set Winner
140 WIN
@-175
Win
80
Krueger for the first set and potentially straight sets is the bet I have on today. This won't be as tight as the odds suggest, and I recommend looking up the minus handicap for Krueger on this one.
11:30 Ann Li vs Shuai Zhang
Ann Li
Win Match
100 WIN
@-277
Win

Ann Li comes into this as the expected winner on multiple fronts. Better overall player with stronger stats. Zhang is not really impressive to watch.

Galway
FT Result

@-833

Difficult to see Galway messing this one up. This is really not worth putting real money on. Galway outweigh Kildare in every single aspect. Galway to win
Galway -7.50
Handicap
100 WIN
@-124
Win
80
A handicap of -7.5 is attractive here at almost evens. Galway is expected to run away with this, and a few 2-pointers, which will no doubt be in abundance, will surely make an 8+ point win relatively safe.
18:00 Offaly v Down
Down
FT Result

Down have had a great year so far but, aside from beating Donegal, have shown a lot of weaknesses. Against Offaly, though, Down will win this.
Down -4.50
Handicap
300 WIN
@-120

-300
Down to win by 5 or more points should be a no-brainer here. They have shown glimpses of amazing football followed by some flops, particularly against Armagh. Down are ruthless against weaker teams.
15:00 Kerry v Donegal

Right into a hard-hitting matchup for the championship! Donegal have performed poorly in Ulster and will be motivated to get that spark back.
Donegal 1.50

We will take the Donegal +1.5 handicap here. Why? Because I am from Donegal and am making this pick on pure emotion. Haha.
14:00 London v Laois

Laois come up against a thrown-together London team this weekend, and I can only see one outcome: a Laois win.
Laois -5.50
Handicap
120 WIN
@-120

Let's take Laois handicap here. Given London's history with GAA teams, they are typically hit or miss, and this year it's a miss. Laois to win by 6 or more.

I fear this will be a one-sided contest this afternoon. Rainy, wet conditions in a final are a recipe for Monaghan to break down and Armagh to run away with it. Armagh to win and beat the handicap.
Armagh -6.50

As mentioned in my match outcome comment, this will be a scrappy match. Monaghan will likely lose control. Armagh is likely to beat the handicap.

Favourites for a reason. The odds may drift with the upcoming draw for Ulster later this month. Definitely serious contenders. With the young stars maturing, Michael Murphy staying for 2026, and also the return of some main team players from injury, it's hard to look at putting your money elsewhere for the 2026 Ulster Championship.
14:00 Dublin v Westmeath
Westmeath

This tip is not backed by any data aside from that I want Westmeath to win this afternoon. They have the form and motivation, and this would be a great shock for GAA if they pulled it off.
Westmeath 6.50

Westmeath will be fired up here. Dublin may well run away with this contest, but my heart says Westmeath will put up enough of a fight to justify the handicap.

@+525

I cannot respectfully write Leitrim off here after their performances in 2026. Gritty team. Down had a phenomenal win over Donegal but proceeded to get embarrassed by Armagh. Leitrim's grit and Down's lack of respect for Leitrim is worth a punt.
16:00 Coco Gauff vs Elina Svitolina
Elina Svitolina
Win Match
200 WIN
@+129
Win
260
Svitolina's grit and tenacity in 2026 is unmatched, perhaps only by Sorana Cîrstea. Gauff has been inconsistent so far, and the intensity Svitolina will bring today will be problematic for Gauff. I'll go with my gut and back Svitolina for this matchup.
