Turkish Cup Final, Ankara, Wednesday, 6.45pm IT’S been a season of ups and downs for Fenerbahce who finished second to Galatasaray in the league and missed reaching the Europa League final with a last-four defeat to Benfica. However, they still have a chance of landing silverware as they defend their Turkish Cup against Trabzonspor at Ankara on Wednesday. Both teams […]

Shamrock Rovers v Dundalk (8pm) DUNDALK have made a bright start to their campaign in Ireland and I’m backing them to continue their good form by avoiding defeat during the 90 minutes in their EA Sports Cup tie at Shamrock Rovers this evening. Shamrock Rovers could only finish in fourth place last year and that meant a change of manager […]

What will it take to win the BMW PGA Championship? Being able to play in windy conditions and having the experience of the Wentworth wind is crucial. As well as a yardage book, the players are issued with a wind map but just how much it helps I’ve no idea. It can be quite baffling at times, you can be […]

Tigre v Lanús (12.15am) TIGRE’S up and down form is easily explained by their over-stretched squad – one that only narrowly avoided relegation while reaching the Copa Sudamericana final in December. It was a ludicrous season of paradox as they toiled at the bottom of the table while somehow romping on in continental competition and Nestor Gorosito seems to have […]

Atalanta v Chievo (2pm) With little left to play for for either of these sides, the players could be forgiven for casting one eye to their summer breaks. A 2-1 defeat at Udinese condemned Atalanta to a third consecutive loss this month and they can finish no higher than 14th but as low as 17th. Cyril Théréau scored for the […]

PETERHEAD did us a turn last weekend and I’ll be singing the praises of the Blue Toon if they win tomorrow.

Liverpool v QPR (4pm) Back Liverpool to win both halves @ 2.4 (7-5) QPR complete their miserable campaign at Anfield but I can’t see them getting any respite from a rampant Liverpool. The Reds are unbeaten in seven since their abysmal performance at St Mary’s back in March. They put three past Fulham last time out and hit Newcastle for […]

IT’S the final weekend of the Premier League and after Wigan’s loss to Arsenal in midweek settled the relegation issue there is only a Champions League place up for grabs on Sunday.

Brentford v Yeovil Town Sunday, 1.30pm, Live on Sky Sports 2 BRENTFORD are the favourites heading to Wembley for the League One showpiece at 2.24. Considering they only finished two points ahead of Yeovil in the regular season one could argue the price would be short enough to lay. The Glovers are the outsiders at 3.50, with the draw trading […]

THERE has been a bit of talk about Niall McGinn on today’s site and William Hill in shops have enhanced the wincast (McGinn to score and Aberdeen to win) in shops to 10-3. Top scorer McGinn gave boss Derek McInnes a huge lift yesterday when he signed a new deal and can celebrate by netting against Hearts. I’m taking a […]

IT’S semi-finals day at the Foro Italico after a dramatic day’s play in the men’s singles in Rome on Friday. Amazingly, Novak Djokovic let a 6-2 5-2 lead slip against Tomas Berdych and the Czech came back to take the win in a deciding set after the world No.1 was unable to regain his concentration after failing to finish the […]

Granada v Osasuna, 7pm Granada 2.18 Osasuna 4.2 draw 3.25 LOCKED together on 36 points these two are four clear of the drop zone. A draw would be useful to both, and respect the improvements they have recently shown. Osasuna beat Getafe last time out, while Granada are unbeaten in four. That said the hosts still have La Liga’s worst […]

Bradford v Northampton, Wembley, 1.30pm THESE clubs both have hungry young managers in demand, both were looking over their shoulders at the wrong end of League Two last season and both are clearly better than that. They have regrouped and restructured, thrusting their managers into the spotlight with signs they could be of interest to clubs higher up the pyramid. […]

IFK Mariehamm v FF Jaro (4.30pm) IFK have started the season with seven points in three away games but the long and illustrious home magic has been broken.
