Rochdale 2.5 v Plymouth 3.1; The Draw 3.35 JOHN SHERIDAN is pleased Plymouth have their destiny in their own hands to avoid relegation. Victory at Rochdale would do it and is a stronger possibility than the odds suggest. Keith Hill’s men might have only lost once in seven but the signs are their good form has dried up, knowing they […]

MAN CITY (1.26) may have finally lost their remaining grip on their Premier League crown but can get back to winning ways when West Ham visit the Etihad for Saturday’s early kick-off. Roberto Mancini’s team have had no trouble in dealing with the sides outside of the top seven on home turf, winning all 10 games while scoring 26 and […]

EXACTLY one week after his successful return to competitive snooker, Ronnie O’Sullivan resumes his bid for a fifth world title with a repeat of last year’s final. And it may not be plain sailing for the Rocket. Over the course of a 17-day tournament, sometimes one has to take a contrary position to bets placed and assumptions made earlier on. […]

THERE are so many meaningless matches this weekend that punters need to seriously check the tables before having a bet. I’ve picked out three teams whose needs for points ranges from desperate to not that bothered. So let’s start with the side who require a victory more than any other outfit. AFC Wimbledon go into the final game of the […]

Volendam v Maastricht (7pm) VOLENDAM are most certainly a team on the up. After finishing down in 12th place last season, Hans de Koning was installed as manager and with just two games to go they are top of the table, two points clear of Cambuur in second. The “Other Orange” have won their last six on the spin and […]

Friday, 7.45, Live on Sky Sports 1 LEICESTER are featured on the TV once again and we have an absorbing contest in prospect with both sides needing three points in their respective battles for a play-off and second spot in their penultimate game of the season. Last Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace saw Nigel Pearson’s men slip down to […]

MARK SELBY and Judd Trump are in action on Friday at the Betfair World Championship and are heavily odds-on to reach the quarter-finals. However, their progress will be far from straightforward. With leading candidates falling by the wayside on a daily basis the draw is opening up and there could well be more carnage over the next couple of days. […]

Kolkata Knight Riders v Kings XI Punjab 3.30 BST Live on ITV4 One of the surprising aspects of this year’s IPL has been the fall of the Kolkata Knight Riders. On any rational analysis of this competition last year’s champions should not be grubbing around at the bottom of the table with the likes of Pune. Yet this is exactly […]

WHEN Jason Dufner won 12 months ago he was ranked 25th for Greens In Regulation but that looks an anomaly. All the other winners at this venue have ranked inside the top 10 for greens hit. The other stat to examine closely is Par 5 Performance – the worst any winner here has ranked is 18th (Jason Bohn) and four […]

IT was a great night in Dublin last week – the players loved the crowd and only Phil Taylor let me down in my six predictions. There were a couple of lucky results like Michael van Gerwen beating Adrian Lewis but last week seemed to be the most predictable of all weeks in the Premier League. Tonight will be a […]

FOOTBALL is poor on thursday, Europa League games have been covered, so going to take the IPL Cricket for my bet of the day. Chennai Super Kings v Hyderabad Sunrisers, 3.30BST, live on ITV4. Chennai are beginning to look ominous. They have three successive victories and really should make it four with this home contest. Following worries about their lazy […]

Basel v Chelsea, Europa League, Thursday, 8.05pm, Live on ITV1 Match odds: Basel 3.05, Chelsea 2.56, the draw 3.45 I SHOULD start by giving immense credit to Murat Yakin’s Basel team who have defied the odds to reach the last four of a major European competition for the first time in the club’s history. Dnipro, Zenit and my tournament tip […]

Fenerbahce v Benfica, Thursday, 8.05pm, Live on ITV4 Match odds: Fener 3.05, Benfica 2.6, the draw 3.4 FENERBAHCE have ventured into uncharted waters as this is the first time the Turkish giants have reached the last four of a major European competition. Their run has been largely based on gritty, determined defending – Fener have kept seven clean sheets in […]

Punchestown 5.30, seven runners in the Grade 1 World Series Hurdle FIVEFORTHREE is a smart hurdler who won this race in 2009. Lightly raced since but proved he retains plenty of ability when third to Medinas in Coral Cup at Cheltenham last time. Holywell landed the Pertemps Hurdle at Cheltenham last month and further progress when second to Solwhit at […]

THE second round of the Betfair World Championship gets underway with a match-up involving the champions from 2005 and 2006 and I regard odds-on favourite Shaun Murphy as a good thing. With one world title each and five appearances in the Final between them, there is little to choose in terms of Crucible pedigree between Shaun Murphy and Graeme Dott. […]

The Ballantine’s Championship Blackstone Golf Club, Icheon, Seoul, South Korea HAVING had just two renewals at this venue, finding a way in isn’t easy, especially as the first winner here was an experienced pro and the second a rookie. Both winners, Lee Westwood and Bernd Wiesberger, came here in good form – Westwood had won the Indonesian Masters seven days […]

Borussia Dortmund v Real Madrid, Wednesday, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 2 AFTER watching an exquisitely executed and well-timed “falling leaf” of a free-kick from Mesut Ozil bounce in off the post in the 88th minute of their second encounter with Borussia Dortmund in the group stages of the Champions League this season, a goal that rescued his Real Madrid […]

PUNCHESTOWN GOLD CUP 5.30 CAPTAIN CHRIS won at this meeting in 2011. Better than ever when second in King George (beaten neck by Long Run) and Ascot Chase this term, but needs to bounce back from below-form sixth in Gold Cup last time. Chicago Grey got back to best when springing a bit of a surprise in Navan Grade 2 […]

Grimsby Town v Newport County BSBP Play-Off Semi-Final 1st leg, 7.45pm GRISMBY secured a nice win on the final day of the regular league season by beating a weakened Newport side 3-0. Although it will be a very different away side that turns up here I think the result will be the same but maybe not the margin. The market […]

Neil Robertson v Robert Milkins Back Neil Robertson on the -4.5 frame handicap 4u @ 2.06 After a run of poor results for seeded players, I expect the form book to stand up in these final two first-round matches. Neil Robertson is considered by many to be this year’s rightful favourite and it would be a huge surprise to see […]

YOU don’t often find Bayern Munich outsiders to win a game or qualify from a tie but their credentials are clear and I can’t resist going with the German champions ahead of Tuesday night’s meeting with Barcelona. “I bet my arse that Bayern will be calling up Guardiola” was Borussia Dortmund coach Jürgen Klopp’s wisecrack after his Bundesliga rivals drew […]

Millwall v Blackburn, Tuesday, 7.45pm MILLWALL culd secure their Championship survival with victory in this game in hand, despite falling to a disappointing 3-0 loss at fellow strugglers Huddersfield last Saturday afternoon.
