FENERBAHCE take a narrow 1-0 lead to Portugal for their Europa League semi-final second leg and while Benfica have an excellent home record the Turkish side can still progress. The defeat last week was Benfica’s first inside of 90 minutes since their Champions League defeat to Spartak Moscow back in October. They were thoroughly outplayed in Turkey and in truth […]

Europa League SF 2nd Leg, 8.05pm, Live on ITV4 Match Odds: Benfica 1.44, Fener 9.0, the draw 4.9 FENERBAHCE have the upper hand in this tie after ending Benfica’s run of 29 matches without defeat. The Turkish giants’ 1-0 success in the first leg was certainly merited – Egemen Korkmaz’s 72nd-minute winner came after Moussa Sow had struck the bar […]

Europa League SF 2nd Leg, Thu 8.5pm Live on ITV1 Match Odds: Chelsea 1.54, Basel 7.6, the draw 4.5 AS readers of last week’s previews will be aware I suspected Chelsea would be able to expose the fragility of FC Basel’s young defence and so it proved. The Blues needed a last-gasp free-kick from David Luiz to secure a 2-1 […]

Chennai Super Kings v Kings XI Punjab 11.30am, ITV4 A MIXED start to the tournament for CSK included a deserved defeat at the hands of lowly Pune and in a tournament where some of the top teams have struggled it looked as if the IPL’s most successful franchise might be heading for a repeat of 2012 at best – a […]

Bradford City 2.0 v Burton Albion 4.3; The Draw 3.7 Kick-off: Thursday 7.45pm BRADFORD and Northampton should make the most of home advantage in the first legs of the League Two play-offs. I wonder sometimes whether I worry too much. Is Bradford’s cup expertise – having reached the Capital One Cup Final – in their favour for the play-offs or […]

BARCELONA have a mountain to climb at the Nou Camp tonight and I’m not sure they can do it – but there will be plenty of goals between them and Bayern Munich. Barcelona trail 4-0 after being on the end of a footballing master classat the Allianz Arena. The Germans completely nullified the Spaniards A game and as we’ve come […]

THERE will be plenty of nerves at The Crucible on Wednesday as the quarter-finals reach their conclusion and that is a good reason to back a turnaround in the Ricky Walden v Michael White match. Compared to past renewals, there has been a dearth of close finishes and even fewer memorable comebacks at this year’s Betfair World Championship. So far […]

BARCELONA need to score at least four goals against a side who have conceded just twice in their last four Champions League away games and only three times on the road all season in the Bundesliga. They have already rescued a first-leg away defeat in the Champions League this season but this may be unassailable. No team has ever overturned […]

WE have another high-quality for the 11th staging of the event at Quail Hollow but with with Tiger Woods and other top-ranking players missing it doesn’t quite have the strength of previous years. Designed by George Cobb in 1961, Quail Hollow underwent an extensive renovation by Tom Fazio in 1997. There have been plenty of changes since last year’s renewal […]

THE China Open venue is the Binhai Lake GC which was designed by Schmidt-Curley Design with the help of Pete Dye. It is a long, flat, windswept, links-style track with wide fairways. There are 10 waterfront holes and small, undulating greens are protected by a number of Dye’s trademark sleeper-faced bunkers. The rough is dormant and far from penal and […]

IT should be frenzied in the Bernabeu tonight – less so at the humble surroundings of Glebe Park. For one the ground is adjacent to a cemetery so fans must be more respectable and secondly the Brechin v Albion Rovers match is a dead rubber. Brechin have sealed a play-off spot and Rovers are relegated so it could be tricky […]

Millwall v Crystal Palace, Tuesday, 7.45pm MILLWALL take on Crystal Palace in a London derby that has serious ramifications at the top and bottom of England Championship. The Lions lost again at the weekend and have still to secure their England Championship status. A poor run of from has saw just one win in the last eight games (five defeats […]

BORUSSIA DORTMUND are massive favourites to progress from the first semi-final of the Champions League after thrashing Real Madrid 4-1 in Germany. The result left Real Madrid stunned with Robert Lewandowski hitting four goals to leave them with a mountain to climb. Real now need to beat the Germans 3-0 or by four goals in order to stay alive in […]

THE pick of today’s quarter-finals involves the 2005 champion and the 2011 runner-up. The ever-popular Judd Trump starts as hot favourite but has the market got this badly wrong? In what has been a far from vintage renewal of the Betfair World Championship, Shaun Murphy has played as well as anyone and “The Magician” rates outstanding value to upset the […]

THIS week’s Monday Night football comes from Villa Park as Aston Villa host Sunderland I’m tipping goals, goals, goals for those who tune into Sky Sports One at 8pm. Paul Lambert’s side have moved out of the relegation zone in recent weeks but they are still right in the midst of a battle for survival. They have a two-point cushion […]

IT’S off to Ireland for the first pick of the week. In-form St Patricks host Bohemians at Richmond Park, looking to secure their 12th game unbeaten from 13 on their own patch. Liam Buckley’s side have kicked off the new campaign in style and sit third in the Premier League – four points behind second-placed Derry with a game in […]

Real Betis v Deportivo La Coruna, 9pm DEPORTIVO have surrendered their sixth-placed position with another loss last weekend to Madrid. Pepe Mel’s team have blown hot and cold in recent weeks to undermine their fourth-place challenge and are now seven points from Sociedad in fourth. However, the hosts have had no problems finding the net. In their last three games […]

COUSIN KHEE is a fairly useful hurdler who showed plenty of speed to win two jumpers’ bumpers this winter and off mark at second time of asking on Flat in 13f Lingfield maiden in February. Open to further progress. Sula Two was back to her best when winning three times at up to 13f last term. Also placed twice off […]

2.20 Wolverhampton THIS is the first face I have focused on Monday and the market suggests it is all about 6/4 favourite Moss Hill. Moss Hill managed a second place under a fortnight ago at track and over the distance of 7 furlongs, was only half a length though in front of unlimited who he meets again today. Unlimited today […]

Monday, 8pm, Sky Sports 1 SUNDERLAND have lost just one of their last five Premier League trips to Villa Park (W2 D2 L1). This fixture is so crunch you can almost hear the sound it would make, something like biting into a pork scratching possibly? Under their new knee-sliding, arm-waving Italian, Sunderland’s survival chances have suddenly taken on a much […]

ROBERT MILKINS won many new admirers when completing one of the biggest shocks in recent Crucible history against Neil Robertson. Far from it being a fluke, I fancy “The Milkman” to keep his run going on Sunday. Before the start there was widespread agreement that this year’s Betfair World Championship was the most open in living memory. Whether anyone can […]

SPL champions Celtic travel to Motherwell live on Sky Sports 4 at 12.45 and despite being odds on they are simply far too short. Motherwell look set to finish as runners-up in the table and that must be considered a decent result as they don’t have the resources of a club like Celtic. Since beating their opponents 2-1 back at […]

Arsenal v Man United, Sunday, 4pm, live Sky Sports 1 MAN UTD wrapped up the Premier League title last Monday night and punters have been rushing to back top four-chasing Arsenal to win on Sunday afternoon. There’s been a bit of a gamble on Arsenal – and I think those backers might be on to something. The thinking behind the […]

REAL MADRID head into tonight’s derby clash with Atletico Madrid (7pm) after a heavy defeat against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League semi-final. Furthermore, if Galacticos will lose this match, they could hand Barcelona the Liga title. Both teams are battling to book second spot. The top three are well clear and will all take their place in the Champions […]

Fortuna Dusseldorf vs Borussia Dortmund, Sat, 5.30pm SO the secrets are out then. The teams at the top of the Bundesliga are pretty decent and Dortmund’s Jurgen Klopp (or Robin Hood as he has bizarrely suggested) is the coolest coach on the planet. What are Bundesliga hipsters like me supposed to do now? Ah well, there’s always the obscurity of […]
