THEY don’t come any bigger than this London derby at Stamford Bridge with Champions League football on the line. Spurs have never won a Premier League match at Stamford Bridge in 20 visits and no side is currently on a longer run without victory at an opponent’s ground than Spurs against Chelsea. In his brief reign as Chelsea boss, Andre […]

Inter Milan v Lazio I can’t remember a set of Serie A fixtures quite as unappetising as this midweek round. That means stakes will be at a minimum as, to a certain extent, will interest. There aren’t too many Serie A issues to be decided now and eyes are starting to look towards that Rome derby Coppa Italia final which […]

IT’S a typically difficult card on day one of the Chester May meeting so the honest advice is to keep stakes low. But there are three possible value plays, headed by Theology in the feature race at 2.45. Now at first viewing this horse doesn’t have an obvious chance at odds of 24.0 on Betfair. But dig a bit further […]

2.10 – Right, first leg and we are going to take on short-price favourite Lewisham with … actually no I’m just joking, we’re going to do no such thing. Lewisham, currently trading at 1.09, is definitely a banker. 2.40 – the Tom Dascombe-trained Noble Bacchus, who is out of the Irish Oaks-winning mare Vintage Tipple, is expected to step up […]

TUESDAY’S play at La Caja Magica sees Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer makes their debuts in this year’s tournament and for Federer it’s his first match of the season on the red dirt. The Swiss enjoys the quicker, lower bouncing conditions at altitude here in Madrid though and shouldn’t be posed too many problems by opponent Radek Stepanek. […]

THE live Serie A match on ESPN tonight features Roma and Chievo and while the Betfair markets are predicting plenty of goals those who tune in at 7.45 may be left disappointed. Roma picked up a magnificent victory at Fiorentina at the weekend and those three points have kept them in pole position for the final remaining Europa League spot […]

MAN CITY’S disappointing campaign continued on Saturday with a goalless draw at Swansea. It seems Roberto Mancini’s men are already looking ahead to mojitos around a poolside after a ninth draw of an unsuccessful campaign. At least now they return to the Etihad Stadium, however, where they have netted in 48 consecutive Premier League games. And Mancini’s stringent enforcers have […]

Beaten a nose by Robot Boy when second of 11 at evens fav on his latest outing at Doncaster over 5f (good) last month. 4.10 Kempton NEAMOUR @ 7/1 PADDYPOWER Placed once in three starts. Third of 4 behind Lilbourne Eliza beaten 2l at 9-4jt-fav on her latest outing at […]

Tuesday, 7.45pm, Live on Sky Sports 1 WE’RE off to the north west – and it’s do or die for Wigan as they welcome Swansea to the DW Stadium, desperate for maximum points in order to increase the pressure on the rest of the relegation pack. Roberto Martinez’s side currently occupy the final drop zone place and sit three points […]

Monday, 8pm, live on Sky Sports 1 WHAT a difference a week makes. Just nine days after Paolo di Canio followed up a famous win over local rivals Newcastle with a 1-0 defeat of Everton his Sunderland side find themselves right back in the mix for relegation after a disastrous humbling by Aston Villa. A 6-1 defeat to Paul Lambert’s […]

League One play-off semi-final second leg Monday, 4.30pm, Live on Sky Sports 1 FLIP the teams around from away to home and you get exactly the same prices from the first leg. Including Saturday’s game. Swindon have now failed to beat Brentford all season in their three clashes and trade at 3.40 for a victory at Griffin Park. Away from […]

League One play-off semi-final second-leg Monday, 1.30pm, live on Sky Sports 1 SHEFFIELD UNITED are outsiders at 3.25 despite holding a slender one-goal advantage from Friday night’s 1-0 success at Bramall Lane. The Blades have generally been better away from home this season, winning 11 games and drawing seven, which has suited their counter-attacking style. Yeovil will be fairly happy […]

Sunday, 6pm IT’S back to Istanbul for a match that could end in Galatasaray celebrating retaining their crown. They host Sivasspor at the Turk Telekom Arena and a win would give them an unassailable lead. After winning the league by nine points last year it looks like Gala are going to do it again, with three games to go and […]

Nancy v Lyon (16th v 3rd) Sunday, 4pm IT’S difficult to hand the Coach of the Year prize to a man in charge for only half a season but Nancy’s Patrick Gabriel has made a good case. When he took over in January, Nancy were bottom of the table eight points from safety and seemingly doomed to Ligue 2 next […]

Sunday, 4pm, live on Sky Sports 1 IT’S hard to gauge just how much motivation and focus Manchester United retain at this stage of the season and for this reason alone Sunday’s home clash with Chelsea is devilishly difficult from a punting perspective. The fact the runaway champions of the Premier League can be backed at 2.2 on home soil […]

Napoli v Inter, Sunday, 7.45pm ON the face of it this looks like a real glamour fixture but regular viewers of Serie A will know all too well just how much Inter’s star has fallen. When Andrea Stramaccioni’s team beat Napoli back in December they went second in the table but a dire end to the season has seen them […]

Saturday, 8.45pm WITH games against three sides at the wrong end of the table to come, Vincenzo Montella and Fiorentina know just how huge Saturday night’s match in Florence could prove. If they beat Roma they’re in with a great chance of scraping ahead of Milan into third with a winning end to the season. La Viola have won their […]

Saturday, 5.30pm Odds: Dortmund 3.15 (11-5), Bayern 2.46 (6-4), the draw 3.5 (52) THE Bundesliga is awash with plaudits thanks to the Champions League exploits of these two clubs. They reached the Final at Wembley in differing ways this week – Dortmund were forced to cling on to a 4-3 aggregate victory at Real Madrid while Bayern completed their extraordinary […]

FIRST up is the only one of last weekend’s winning treble and I can’t ignore Christian Benteke (2.20). The 22-year-old was in inspired form on Monday evening and claimed a superb hat-trick as Aston Villa hammered relegation rivals Sunderland 6-1 at Villa Park. The victory boosted Paul Lambert’s side’s survival hopes significantly, while Benteke’s burst continued his fine debut season […]

Charlton v Bristol City, Saturday, 12.45pm AT first glance this is a game that has little meaning. Charlton have nothing to play for and Bristol City have already been relegated and will finish rock bottom of the Championship. But The Addicks have been in good form of late and have a chance to finish in the top 10 with a […]

KING of both teams to score bets this season are the boys from White Hart Lane who have racked up an impressive 25 from 34 in the Premier League. This weekend it’s Southampton who are on their way to Tottenham but they may well be wishing they could be somewhere else with Saints old boy Gareth Bale back in ranks […]

THE Super Singles have been a big success recently but the top trebles could have done better – with Southampton letting us down last weekend. I was torn between going for a safeish line this weekend or giving it a real go. There are plenty of issues still to be resolved even though we’ve reached the League One and Two […]

Friday, 7.45pm, Live on Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports HD UNITED are 2.06 favourites for Friday’s first leg of the League One semi-final play-offs but have hit a ropey run of form at the wrong time. Since Danny Wilson’s sacking, caretaker boss Chris Morgan has tinkered with players and formations but the bottom line is seven points taken from […]

I MAKE it five players going for four spots so it should be another interesting night of darts action in Liverpool’s Echo Arena on Thursday night. Michael van Gerwen v Andy Hamilton I don’t think Hamilton can qualify now and Van Gerwen is really on a massive high at the moment. He won another Pro Tour event over the weekend […]

TODAY’S first semi-final at the Betfair World Championship would be a worthy final of any tournament, involving the two most exciting players. Despite being won over by Judd Trump’s heroics in the last round I’m still on my original tournament pick “Come on Ronnie”. Not for the first time in his colourful career Ronnie O’Sullivan has ruined his own headlines. […]
