IT’S all about the Europa League tonight with four ties that while not finely balanced are certainly there for the taking for either side involved. Chelsea go to Rubin Kazan, Benfica visit Newcastle and Fenerbahce travel to Lazio with two-goal leads while Basel and Spurs start level at 2-2. I’ll put up tips in the morning but my intial feeling […]

Lazio v Fenerbahce, 8.05pm, Live on ESPN Match odds: Lazio 1.94, Fenerbahce 4.7, the draw 3.65 FENERBAHCE are in pole position after a 2-0 first-leg win in Turkey but such is Lazio’s excellent home form in the Europa League, coach Aykut Kocaman will know the job is far from complete. Fener finished the first leg strongly, scoring twice in the […]

Newcastle v Benfica, 8.05pm, Live on ITV4 Match odds: Newcastle 3.05, Benfica 2.56, the draw 3.45 NEWCASTLE have built their Europa League success on defensive strength and high levels of concentration but both qualities deserted them in Lisbon last week. Despite taking an early lead through in-form striker Papiss Cisse, Newcastle proceeded to give away two terrible goals in a […]

Rubin Kazan v Chelsea, 5pm, Live on ESPN Match odds: Rubin 2.78, Chelsea 2.82, the draw 3.45 CHELSEA are in command of this quarter-final tie thanks to an excellent 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge. Fernando Torres scored twice as Chelsea managed to find gaps in a defence that had previously conceded just one goal in 2013. Since then Kurban Berdyev’s […]

FC Basel v Spurs, 8.05pm, Live on ITV1 Match odds: FC Basel 2.52, Spurs 2.98, the draw 3.65 LOYALTY is an admirable quality but sometimes it can be misplaced. Veteran centre-back William Gallas has been one of Andre Villas-Boas’ automatic picks in the Europa League but some of the Frenchman’s performances have been atrocious. In last week’s first leg at […]

THIS year at the Masters, more than any other, I get the feeling we’re in for a real treat. The three market leaders absolutely love the course and all look in good shape. Tiger Woods has regained the No.1 ranking and positive vibes about his putting continue to reach us. World No.2 Rory McIlroy looked on his way back to […]

THIS tip came up yesterday thanks to Sheffield Utd flopping at home to Crawley. Tonight Milesey’s backing against over 2.5 goals in Turin. I disagree so punters will have to decide who they go with. Lay of the Day Juventus and Bayern Munich meet in the Champions League this evening and while the Betfair markets are predicting plenty of goals […]

Juventus v Bayern Munich Wednesday night’s other quarter-final has Juventus hoping that Bayern Munich did not resist the urge to party over the weekend after winning the Bundesliga following victory over Eintracht Frankfurt. A hangover, however, seems unlikely after their president Uli Hoeness said: “There’ll be no beer shower on the pitch, only a toast and that’s it. It’s a […]

BARCELONA are aiming to join Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday – but they’ve still got work to do. With or without Lionel Messi the home men need to beat PSG at home or draw 1-1 or 0-0 to go through on away goals. Here’s Milesey’s thoughts on the big game. Barcelona v PSG After last week’s […]

LAST night was a rollercoaster ride I didn’t really enjoy – but in the end it was a profitable one. I’d written off my treble with Borussia Dortmund 2-1 down to Malaga going into the last minute – but then Germans pulled off that great escape. Unfortunately Cardiff then conceded a 96th-minute goal to Barnsley – and I’ve never had […]

NEVER heard of Sir Graham Wade – but I’ll say thank you and goodnight if he romps home at Nottingham today. The 3.40 is Milesey’s featured race and Sir Graham is his pick. Here are his Wednesday tips: 3.30 Lingfield INTRIGO A winner at 5-1 at Leicester over 7f (soft) on his latest outing in October last year, beating Equitissa […]

Kings XI Punjab v Chennai Super Kings Wednesday, 3.30pm BST TV: Live on ITV4 and itv.com Kings XI PunjabKings XI opened their IPL campaign with a surprisingly easy win over Pune Warriors India. Even allowing for the fact Pune already seem destined to be this season’s whipping boys, there was something majestic about the way Punjab captain Adam Gilchrist took […]

TIGER WOODS is back – and boy how golf’s missed him. There’s a buzz about the sport again and no matter your thoughts on his private indiscretions there’s nothing better than watching the world No.1 rip apart a challenging course. When you think Tiger you think Green Jacket. It’s the only colour he loves wearing more than red on the […]

MOST punters will be chasing massive odds with a bet in the winner market but there are plenty of ways of making a profit from the Masters. In just a few days the world will fall quickly and strongly in love with golf when the year’s first Major gets under way in the ludicrously photogenic setting of Augusta. As the […]

TIGER WOODS has been partnered with England’s Luke Donald and fellow American Scott Piercy after the opening-round draw was made for this year’s Masters. The world No.1 and his playing partners tee off at 3.45pm BST on Thursday and will go out at 6.41pm in Friday’s second round. Woods has won four Masters titles but has not claimed victory at […]

THIS will be the 77th US Masters and during the first 76 events there have only been 23 aces. At first glance their scarcity would suggestt the only feasible option is to lay Yes or back No in the Hole-in-one Market but that’s definitely not the case. In the tournament’s entire history the tough 4th hole has provided just one […]

IT’S been 14 long years since a European golfer donned the famous Green Jacket and on recent evidence it will take a big effort for one to win the first Major of the season come Sunday evening. I believe the Europeans are worth opposing at this week’s US Masters. It’s nothing to do with them becoming bad players overnight, more […]

SHEFFIELD UTD are odds-on for their League One clash with Crawley Town this evening but have won just one home game in their last seven. The Blades were the pre-season favourites for the League One title and while they’re still in with a chance of achieving it the play-offs are looking more and more likely. They are fifth in the […]

SOME Champions League tips have been posted and Milesey’s done a comprehensive review of some of the English League games being played tonight. I’ll have a closer look at the SFL matches and put up top tips in the morning. I’ve gone for a Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid double even through the Spaniards don’t need to win in Turkey. […]

MK Dons 2.86 v Swindon Town 2.78, the draw 3.35 TUESDAY’S match at the Stadium MK is a must win game for the hosts. The Dons boss Karl Robinson stated over the weekend it will be “All out”. Crucially, three points will cut into Swindon’s lead (they occupy the final play-off spot). How the Buckinghamshire side failed to win on […]

I DON’T care about any other horse on Tuesday but Mucky Molly – which is running in the 5.05 at Southwell. Almost named after my dug mucky Milly I backed her at 33-1 a couple of months ago – and I’m pleased to see Milesey backing the horse. Here are all his Tuesday tips. GOWRAN PARK RUBY DOUBLE 4.40 URANO […]

Old Trafford, Monday, 8pm, live on Sky Sports IT’S not often you get the chance to back Manchester United at odds against playing at home this season and on price alone I feel duty bound to make them a recommended bet for this Monday night special. Yes, City are their nearest opponents in the league and this is a derby […]

AFTER Aintree Mania – and let’s hope jockey Ryan makes a full recovery from his fall – we’re all set for Monday mania with two of European football’s biggest derbies. We have Man Utd v Man City to look forward to although the title race in England is over and in Italy there’s a potentially-explosive clash between Roma and Lazio. […]

THE Rome derby on Monday night rounds off a brilliant weekend of TV fixtures and this is a tough one to call. There have been seven red cards in the last five runnings of this fixture and while that doesn’t necessarily lead you to lump on yes in the sending-ff market it does make you realise anything could happen here. […]

I PICKED four out of four on the English Premier League card yesterday – but obviously didn’t put them up as a fourfold. Away wins for Aston Villa, Southampton and Arsenal and a draw at Norwich would have paid around 60-1 – and I’d have been ridiculed for suggesting it. In fact the last nine Premier League tips I’ve included […]
