Monday, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 2 THERE’S little time to sit and back and reflect ahead of the second legs of these Championship play-offs with the rapid turnaround but Brighton will be favourites to reach the final with home advantage after the first leg ended goalless much to our delight having tipped it up at 10.5 on here. Gus […]

ATP Internazionali BNL d’Italia IT’S a fast turnaround for the stars of the ATP Tour as they hotfoot it from Madrid to Rome for the second of the back-to-back Masters 1000 tournaments and I’ve identified a couple of big priced alternatives to the favourites. Last week’s back-to-lay wager on Tomas Berdych at 67.0 proved to be a solid selection and […]

TONIGHT’S live action on ESPN comes from Milan at 7.45 and despite their odds-on quote, Roma can get a result in the San Siro. AC Milan made a slow start to the campaign as it took the team a while to gel after many of their senior players left in the summer. They’ve fought back well though and while they […]

Sunday, 1.30pm, live on Sky Sports 1 AFTER fighting back twice to draw 2-2 at Chelsea on Wednesday, Spurs are still in the mix for Champions League qualification, but this is a game they surely need to win. Anything less than three points would allow Arsenal to gain an insurmountable lead over their North London rivals if they beat FA […]

Atletico Madrid v Barcelona Sunday, 6pm (Live on Sky Sports 1) BARCELONA will head for the Vicente Calderon as champions after Real Madrid failed to beat Espanyol last night. Lionel Messi should be fit to start and that’s enough to persuade us to back the Catalans to notch a sixth straight win over Atletico who contrived to lose 2-1 at […]

Old Trafford, Sunday, 4pm SIR ALEX FERGUSON first walked through the doors of Old Trafford on November 6, 1986. In his first game in charge he saw his side lose 2-0 at Oxford United – and they were lucky to get nothing. On Sunday afternoon – 26 years, 187 days, and 38 trophies later – Sir Alex will exit the […]

Sunday, 12.30pm, live on Sky Sports 2 TWO games so far in the Championship play-offs have produced just the one goal and there’s no reason to believe that will change as the Foxes take the slenderest of leads to Watford for this lunchtime kick-off. Gianfranco Zola’s men have hit a bit of a wall at just the wrong time – […]

Lyon v PSG, Sunday, 8pm BY the time this game kicks off PSG may have been already crowned champions. If Marseille lose at home to Toulouse on Saturday PSG will be at least seven points clear with two games to play. If Marseille draw PSG are virtually assured of the title because of their vastly-superior goal difference – and if […]

Zwolle v ADO Den Haag, Sunday, 1.30pm WITH a Europa League play-off place still a possibility, Raymond van Barneveld’s beloved ADO Den Haag travel to the Ijsseldelta Stadium knowing three points is vital if they are to leapfrog rivals Heerenveen in dramatic, last-day style. The visitors sit only two points behind the all-important eighth spot and come into this fixture […]

Racing Club v Tigres, Saturday, 11.15pm BST RACING CLUB have made a pretty poor start to the new campaign as they are only 10th in the league and already knocked out of the Copa Argentina at the hands of minnows Tristán Suárez. They’ve won just one of their last five matches in the Primera Division and failed to even score […]

FRIDAY was an excellent day at La Caja Magica for both my daily and outright tips, with Stan Wawrinka and Tomas Berdych both advancing to the semis. Despite not taking to the court until not far from the witching hour in Madrid, Wawrinka completed a three-set win that simultaneously landed a winning bet and made the Swiss stay on court […]

THERE was a lot of talk on this site about William Hill’s score and win coupon when it came out a couple of weeks ago. Now Ladbrokes have brought Result Rush which is pretty similar although adds the draw option. I’ve seen a few comments about how good the prices are but remember each single is really a treble – […]

Porto v Benfica, Saturday, 8.30pm SATURDAY night, forget it, stay in, this one is simply unmissable. Porto host Benfica in O Classico, a championship decider and one of the biggest games in Europe this season. In Portugal they are calling this one the game of the century. All year these two giants have been inseparable and unbeatable. In March, Porto […]

EIGHT races from three different courses on Channel 4 on Saturday but in truth just one confident bet is hard to unearth on a desperately difficult day’s punting. So this isn’t a day to go firing in heavily. But it could be worth chancing Bertiewhittle at odds of 18.0 in the 3,50 at Ascot. As he is drawn 27 of […]

IT’S a bit of a tricky weekend with games spread all over the place. There are more big matches on Sunday than there is on Saturday which is unusual and caused by the staging of the FA Cup Final early to allow preparations for Wembley to host the Champions League Final. My top tips in the Daily Record will feature […]

IT’S quarter-finals day at the Mutua Madrid Open and Andy Murray is in action again after his late night win but this is far as he goes and Stan Wawrinka should also progress. Fernando Verdasco got my hopes up on Thursday in Madrid by producing a superb performance in the opening set against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. From dominating the early stages […]

Friday, 7.45pm (Live on Sky Sports 1) BITTER rivals Crystal Palace and Brighton meet at Selhurst Park for the first leg of a potentially enthralling two-legged playoff semi-final. Crystal Palace ended a barren run of nine games without victory on the last day of the league season by beating – and relegating – Peterborough with a 3-2 comeback victory. It […]

Norway Tippeligaen, 5pm, Thursday MOLDE once again mixed up their starting line-up in pursuit of a return to form against Start. Orjan Nyland replaced Ole Soderberg in goal for his first Tippeligaen start, Magne Simonsen came into midfield with Martin Linnes dropping to right-back, while Etzaz Hussain and Magne Hoseth came into midfield for Emmanuel Ekpo and Joshua Gatt. Striker […]

IT’S a packed day of tennis on Thursday at the Mutua Madrid Open with Andy Murray, Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer all in action. Nadal was far from his best on an overcast Wednesday at La Caja Magica in his relatively comfortable win over Benoit Paire. There are sure to be a few complaints about the state of these courts […]

Thursday, 7.45pm (Live on Sky Sports 1) WATFORD’S nightmare end to the season could be about to get worse when they travel to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester in their play-off semi-final first leg clash. The Hornest endured two goalkeeping injuries, a red card, a late winner from Leeds’ Ross McCormack and a comeback from Hull against Cardiff […]

Week 14 from Newcastle 7pm, Thu, Sky Sports 3 HD AT the beginning of the Premier League season 99 people out of 100 would have expected to see Michael van Gerwen, Raymond van Barneveld and Phil Taylor in the top four – and that’s exactly what’s happened. Some might not have predicted Van Gerwen would be top of the table […]

TPC Sawgrass, Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida Course Details Par 72 – 7215 yards Stroke Index in 2012 – 72.47 THIS is widely regarded as golf’s fifth Major but what will it take to win the Players’ Championship at Sawgrass? The odd big-hitter has obliged but driving distance is pretty much unimportant. Nine of the last 13 winners ranked in the […]

VALUE appears pretty thin on the ground at Chester on Thursday – so again keep stakes low – but luckily Channel 4 also take in the 2.30 at Goodwood which hopefully throws up the best bet of the day. In the old days, when you had to write out a betting slip in the bookmakers or ring them up to […]

TRABZONSPOR host Sivasspor at the Huseyin Avni Aker Stadium (5.30pm) looking to extend the impressive home form which has led them to four wins and a draw from their last five. Tolunay Kafkas’s side will be full of confidence ahead of this clash and desperate to improve on an underwhelming league position of ninth in the Super Lig. The hosts […]
