BIRMINGHAM did well to hold an impressive Blackpool side to one goal last week and there is every chance of them overturning the deficit tonight. Chris Hughton’s men finished the season strongly, particularly at home, and Blackpool may pay the penalty for missing chances. Any one-goal Brum win will force extra time in this Championship play-off semi-final second leg and […]

Wednesday, Bucharest, 7.45, live on C5 ROMANIA will be hit by a Spanish armada today as fans of Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid gather for the Europa League Final. The game promises to be a cracker with Atletico the higher placed La Liga team but Athletic the ones who have really taken Europe by storm this season. Highlight was home […]

Tuesday, Anfield, 8pm, live on Sky Sports I CALLED it spot on when these sides met in the FA Cup Final last Saturday. Predicting the outcome of this one could be even tougher with neither side focusing too much on the result. Liverpool will want to end their home season on a positive note after notching just five wins at Anfield […]

THERE are two massive relegation battles in England and Scotland tonight. I expect Blackburn’s fate to be sealed by Wigan while Dunfermline could take the SPL drop fight to the last day with a win at Hibs. So let’s start with Blackburn v Wigan. Yesterday’s results just about sealed Rovers’ fate and they need two big wins tonight and away […]

RIGHT, I’ve seen some ridiculous prices in my time but here’s one that takes the biscuit. Ladbrokes have put out some Lionel Messi specials after the Barcelona star ripped up the record books again on Saturday with his four-goal haul against Espanyol. Messi has hit 72 goals in all competitions this season and Ladbrokes make him 10-11 to beat that […]

Bloomfield Road, Friday, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 THE first play-off semi-final wasn’t as cagey as expected although the under 2.5 goals tip came up. What a difference an early goal makes and the Cardiff v West Ham clash was pretty open with the home side unlucky not to be on target. Tonight’s other tie between Blackpool and Birmingham […]

Thursday, Parkhead, 7.45pm CELTIC may have wrapped up the title but looked in clinical mood with a 3-0 demolition of Rangers at the weekend. A visit from St Johnstone is likely to produce a less fervoured atmosphere and it will be interesting to see what side of the champions we get on the park. Will it be the one that […]

Thursday, Cardiff City Stadium, 7.45, live on Sky Sports 1 WEST HAM are favourites to win the Championship play-offs and can move a step closer to a Premier League return by avoiding defeat at Cardiff. Semi-final first legs are usually cagey affairs and for me the draw looks the most likely result with the Hammers then going on to win […]

ONE of our regular visitors Matthew Downey has offered up some thoughts on tonight’s Premier League darts. Here are his thoughts on the action and you can take or leave it but let’s know your feelings about his selections. Matthew writes: I was tempted to go for either the draw here or Hamilton +1.5 but I’m playing it safe and […]

The Etihad, Monday, 8pm, live on Sky Sports 1 IT’S a game we hoped would be a title decider and after many twists and turns in the title race we’ve got our way. If Man United win it’s all over as they will need just a point from their last two matches against Sunderland and Swansea. A draw will also […]

SPECULATION has started as to whether it’s the beginning of the end of an era for one of the greatest club sides football has ever seen following Pep Guardiola’s decision to walk away from Barcelona. Bookie Paddy Power has opened betting on which of the stars might be first to break up the all-conquering team and make Spanish striker David […]

MOST of the big issues have been settled in the Championship while there are a few burning questions to be resolved in League One and League Two. For this market you don’t always have to focus on games that matter but it can be an advantage. So I’m starting with Yeovil v Chesterfield, a match the visitors must win if […]

A MISSED penalty by Craig Beattie cost us a Scottish fivefold last weekend. It looked good all day with eight out of 10 teams netting in the first half. But when we needed Beattie to do the business from 12 yards he beat us up and we had settle for a fourfold and our money back. After what happened last […]

Tonight, Bernabeu, 7.45, live on ITV CAN’T believe Barcelona threw it away against Chelsea last night after being 2-0 up against 10 men. Barca boss Pep Guardiola was lavish in his praise of the Blues’ but their backs-to-the wall displays for 180 minutes weren’t great to watch. The second semi tonight could be a thriller because Bayern Munich can’t defend […]

Tonight, Villa Park, 7.45pm PREMIER LEAGUE strugglers Aston Villa and Bolton meet tonight in a match neither can afford to lose. Defeat for Villa will leave them just three points above their opponents and dragged into a relegation struggle. If Bolton lose all hope won’t be gone with four matches remaining but moral will be badly affected. A draw won’t […]

Nou Camp, tonight, 7.45, live on Sky Sports 2 FIRST it was Chelsea, then it was Real Madrid. Barcelona’s invincibility tag has been ripped off but can Lionel Messi and co pin it back on to their famous shirts tonight? The Blues put up the shutters in the first leg of their semi-final then hit Barcelona with a sucker punch last […]

KP Stadium, tonight, 7.45 (live Sky Sports 1) THERE have been some strange results in the Championship recently but I can see it going to form tonight. West Ham will surely get a big lift from Southampton’s defeat at Middlesbrough on Saturday which means the second promotion spot is up for grabs. The Hammers must win at Leicester then hope […]

IF yesterday was all about the fight for Champions League places and the battle to avoid the drop, Sunday is about the race for the title. Man United are first up against Everton and should increase the gap at the top to eight points. But that should be cut once again to five after Man City tackle Wolves at Molineux. […]

THERE was a spectacular start to the Betfred world Championship when Stephen Hendry notched a maximum break on day one. The seven-time champion romped to an 8-1 lead over Stuart Bingham as he turned back the clock with a perfect potting display. Hendry hit his third Crucible 147 in the seventh frame to spark a payout from bookies who had […]

Barcelona, v Real Madrid, Nou Camp, 7pm (live on Sky Sports 1) THE Special One has now faced Barcelona 10 times and won only once and never at the Nou Camp. This could be a reason why Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid are a biggest 9-2 at BetVictor to win, not bad odds for a side who have picked up 41 points from […]

THE green baize is rolled out and the action will begin at The Crucible today as the world’s best 32 players battle for Betfred World Championship glory. I asked an expert who he fancied and sadly his reply was: “Any of 10 players can win, it’s wide open.” He then proceeded to tip the 11th favourite, Stephen Lee. The Englishman […]

CHELSEA have revenge on their mind when Barcelona visit the Bridge tonight – but may have to wait a while to get even. Last time the Spaniards faced the Blues they reached the 2009 final thanks to a late Andres Iniesta strike. Chelsea were raging at the refusal of two penalties but this time it’s not the ref they should […]

The Emirates, tonight, 8pm, live Sky Sports 1 A COUPLE of weeks ago I would have been firing into Arsenal any which way possible for a home match with Wigan … handicaps, HT/FT etc, etc. But Roberto Martinez’s reborn side deserve to treated with respect after three wins in four games – against Man Utd, Stoke and Liverpool. Wigan looked down […]

TWO of my five games were going to be in Italy but the tragic death of Livorno star Piermario Morisini means all Serie A games have quite rightly been postponed. So I’ve had to have a bit of a rethink and I’m starting off with a league I haven’t visited before. A game that caught my eye is the Finnish match between […]

I’M kicking off this line with two sides who won their last home game 3-0 and should be in good spirits. It’s West Brom v QPR with the Baggies battering Blackburn 3-0 before going down 4-0 to a rampant Man City in midweek. QPR, meanwhile, put on one of their displays of the season in sinking Swansea and will head […]
