Champions League qualification continues tonight and in Istanbul, Galatasaray should get the job done against Zalgiris.
A 92nd minute equaliser for the Lithuanians denied the Turkish side a win last week but they’re 1/9 to win this evening.
Dries Mertens, Mauro Icardi and Wilfried Zaha all now ply their trade for the Turkish champions and much like Fenerbahce last night they should romp the second leg.
Zalgiris shipped five at Bodo/Glimt after drawing at home with them in qualifying last season so goals could be the best approach. Galatasary are 4/6 to score over 2.5 goals or 13/8 to score over 3.5.
Norwegian champs Molde have some work to do in their Scandanavia battle with HJK. The Finnish side take a 1-goal lead to Norway tonight but Molde are just 2/11 to win.
That’s a very short price for a side that’s stuttered a bit this season and they’re probably best avoided.
But another for the shortlist is FC Copenhagen. The Danes secured a 2-0 first leg win in Iceland thanks to two first half goals and should enjoy another win tonight at the Parken Stadium.
Back the Danish champions to beat the -1 Handicap at 8/11 which can be doubled with Galatasaray to be winning at half-time and full-time for 159/100 Double.

Well done all winners
Some picks from the early matches today:
J Cristian -1.5 Games v E Arango 1.95, Pinnacle
Cristian looked good in her opening round win against former champion Bouzkova. Her backhand in particular was working very well. Cristian beat Arango 6-4 6-2 just a few months ago on clay and I would say on a hard court this would favour her even more. She has a decent serve and really pushed Haddad Maia at Wimbledon. Not been overly impressed with Arango’s results on hard courts whereas Cristian has been picking up some good wins this year against the likes of Tauson & Wickmayer. Willing to side with her here if she can reproduce the form she did in her last match.
Cristian’s determination was the factor in the last match , impressive display. Power forehand and big serve . Yeah it’s a good pick. GL
Cheers Radu, here’s hoping.
Well done yesterday as well mate. Some great tips 👍
Thanks 🤞
👌
Did you see the Ofner result Radu? Still can’t get my head around that one. Should have started 2/2 today instead now at a small loss thanks to that colossal choke!
Tour of Poland
Stage 5
I don’t know why Kwiatkowski let Majka to win stage 3 , maybe because they are polish :)) . Former champion , Kwiatkowski has an impressive good form , Ineos knows why :)) . Today it must be him @ 7,00 . But Top 3 is a real great chance the polish veteran to place @ 2.50.

Deysire Salazar booked 7/2 40/1 sent if sky bet 🫰
Sent off lol
V Hruncakova to beat N Hibino 1.80, William Hill
Lucky loser Hibino who lost in qualifying to Arango beat Errani in the first round in what was a bit of a shambles with Errani losing a 5-0 1st set lead 7-5. She has a relatively weak serve which should get punished by Hruncakova, who has a big serve and aggressive game. As long as Hruncakova keeps the unforced errors low she should be too powerful for Hibino.
S Ofner to beat A Molcan 1.80 Pinnacle
Ofner has been playing very well over recent weeks and his serve and powerful game should really suit the courts in Kitzbuhel. With the home support I would expect him to beat Molcan who has only won 1 match since mid June and that was against a very poor performing van Assche last time out.
Will post my further plays for tonight in Washingon and Mexico.
Good luck with your bets
No words with that Ofner loss. He lead 6-4 5-0 and had 2 match points. Somehow manages to lose in 3 sets. Quite possibly one of the biggest chokes I have come across in men’s tennis in recent time. Sums up how this week has started so far. Crazy results.
Genk v Servette could get feisty tonight,1-1 from the first leg were both sides picked up 3 bookings with a conservative ref in the middle. Tonights Serbian ref seems a bit card happy looking his stats which included 5 reds in his last 9 matches of last season. Stick something up later when i get prices at the shovel for red cards & 3+ cards each side
Yesterday’s bet won at 11/10

Treble:
Wolf to beat Albot x Eubanks to beat Shimabukuro x C Gauff to beat H Baptiste 1.97, Pinnacle (NAP)
Not a massive fan of trebles in tennis but there have been odd performances so far this week to trust many players to win in straight sets. So instead opting for just wins here. I backed against Albot in the first round and I will do it again here. Giron should have won that match and I just don’t see Wolf making the same level of mistakes. Shimabukuro was a huge surprise winner yesterday but his luck will run out today. Against the huge serve of Eubanks he will be lucky to get many opportunities which will put pressure on his own average serve. A tie break may be needed here but I still see a comfortable enough Eubanks win. Baptiste had a good win yesterday against completely out of form Pliskova. Today’s opponent couldn’t;t be any more different. Gauff will dictate play from the baseline and should be far too consistent.
Eubanks 2-0 v Shimabukuro 1.85, Pinnacle (NB)
As long as Eubanks serves well and doesn’t go crazy with unforced errors I really do struggle to see how he doesn’t win this one comfortably. The lucky loser Shimabukuro was beaten in qualifying to Klahn and will be lucky to get many break point chances if any at all. Shimabukuro doesn’t have the best of serves so even with the average Eubanks return game he should get some chances to break. They have played against each other once before with Eubanks winning 6-7 6-2 6-3 back in 2022. In that match Shimabukuro managed just the 1 break point opportunity and failed. Eubanks has also massively improved since that time. The only concern here is that he loses a tie break but I am willing to take that risk.
B Bencic -4.5 Games v L Davis 2.02, Unibet
Was tempted by the straight sets win in this one for Bencic but instead opted for the games handicap. Davis has a pretty average serve so will be tested a lot by Bencic, who herself has been holding serve very well on hard courts over the last 12 months. Simply put Bencic can do everything that Davis does but just an awful lot better.
May have a couple of further picks later.
Final plays for today.
Svitolina v Kasatkina Over 9.5 breaks of serve 1.90, Bet365
Not normally a market I delve into but given both of these players I think it is worth a shot. The last Svitolina match against Azarenka involved a massive 17 breaks with just 5 holds of serve. The 2nd set alone had 9/10 breaks. I am expecting something similar here again with Kasatkina with many changes in momentum. Both players have been playing well recently and had a good Wimbledon. The only concern is the 7-0 head to head for Svitolina but if this is either a close 2 sets or 3 sets this really should land again.
Watanuki v Auger-Aliassime Over 22.5 Games 1.91, Unibet
Auger-Aliassime has been in awful form for most of the season. However, he still does have a very good serve and Watanuki is likely to find it difficult to break. Watanuki himself also has a good serve and along with the poor return game of Auger-Aliassime, I would not be expecting an abundance of breaks in this match. With every chance of at least a tie break here I like the over games.
B Nakashima v A Murray Over 22.5 Games 1.78, Pinnacle
This should be a very close match. First game since Wimbledon for Murray and he may be a little sluggish. However, I do think he has a shot in this match as Nakashima has had a pretty poor season. Murray also won the only previous head to head on grass last season 6-4 7-6. There was only 1 break of serve in that match and on these fast hard courts I don’t imagine there will be many breaks again. I can see either a tie break or a 3 setter in this one.
Best of luck all.
Too many bets in one day pal.
Hope you’re well mate and the recovery from surgery is going well.
I’ve done 9 bets today in all sports. I don’t always do that many in a single day but it depends on what tennis matches are on and if any take my fancy. Today I liked more hence the larger number of selections. However, there are others on the forum that place 9 bets in a day so not sure why over the last 2 days I have had people just mention this to me but no worries I’ll take it on the chin.
On a side note if people have no interest in Tennis on this forum just let me know and I will stop posting my plays. Don’t want to bore people with my write ups. Just feel it helps to give reasoning to bets and not just list plays.
As I say I won’t take it personally so if there is little interest in Tennis on here please just let me know everyone and I will just post my football plays instead when the season starts.
Keep posting MJT, appreciate your tips mate.
Thankful for your tips
Hi pal, as I said before keep posting, everyone on here likes a well reasoned bet and you certainly provide that. I think perhaps what would help me for example is if you gave us a best bet among them all. If I choose to follow, I’m likely only going to pick one or two of them to play, maybe a daily double, and I think most on here will do likewise, it would just help us see what you really like and follow it. There will be others who follow every bet, so pleas continue, I just didn’t articulate myself very well before.
And thanks pal for the kind words – I’m doing well, thanks for asking 👍🏻
