15:00 Delhi Capitals vs Lucknow Super Giants
Delhi Capitals
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.80
Win
40
Delhi have had a strong second half of the competition after getting off to a bad start. They have won three of the four matches played at the venue for this fixture,the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Their batting has been in great form unlike that of their opponents. Bowling wise three of their bowlers have each claimed ten or more wickets in the tournament this year. In what should be a high scoring game I favour the chances of the Delhi Capitals.
15:00 Ireland vs Pakistan 3rd Match
Pakistan
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.30
Open
0
Pakistan started this series with a surprise defeat but then put together a better performance in easily winning the second game. If they maintain that improved form then they should win this game and take the series. They have a high quality upper batting order and their pace bowling unit is as good as any in the world.
15:00 Ireland vs Pakistan Series
Pakistan
Outright Winner
50 WIN
@1.73
Win
37
There was an upset in the first match in this series with Ireland claiming a big victory. I do think that Pakistan have that bit extra quality in their batting and a massive advantage with their pace bowling attack. Pakistan to win this series.
15:00 Tommy Paul vs Daniil Medvedev
Daniil Medvedev -2.50
Games Won
50 WIN
@1.80
Lose
-50
Medvedev won this event last year and although he has stated that he doesn't enjoy playing on clay he has reached the last eight once again. He comfortably beat Draper before having to battle hard to beat Medjedovic in the last round in three close sets. His opponent is not at his best on clay and lost in the first round here last year. Medvedev to win and cover the 2.50 games handicap.
11:30 Zhizhen Zhang vs Thiago Monteiro
Zhizhen Zhang
Win Match
50 WIN
@2.30
Win
65
This could be a long hard fought match between two players who are in fine form on clay. Zhang is ranked some 50 places higher than Monteiro on the ATP system. Zhang has won all of his three matches at this event in straight sets. Monteiro had to battle to beat Kecmanovic in the last round in three sets. Go with Zhang to prevail today.
10:00 Taylor Fritz vs Grigor Dimitrov
Grigor Dimitrov
Win Match
50 WIN
@2.38
Lose
-50
This could be a tight match between world number ten Dimitrov andFritz who is ranked at number 13. In past meetings the score stands at one win apiece. The slower conditions will favour Dimitrov who has the more variety in his ground strokes whereas Fritz is more of a power hitter. Dimitrov to win.

20:00 Aston Villa v Liverpool
Liverpool
50 WIN
@1.75
Lose
-50
Liverpool to win and to put a dent in the top four chances of Villa. Villa need a win to go ahead of Spurs in the battle for fourth place in th3 Premiership standings and a place in next seasons Champions League. Liverpool have had to struggle in recent times to bear sides with lesser quality than themselves. The Reds will want to win their remaining games for manager Klopp to end his period at the club on a high. Villa were beaten at home and also away as they were knocked out of Europe and they looked a tired team.
15:00 Gujarat Titans vs Kolkata Knight Riders
Kolkata Knight Riders
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.73
Void
0
Gujarat won their last game ,against Chennai ,but prior to that had lost three in a row. That win gives them a chance of making the play offs. Kolkata are top of the points table and have won their last four matches. They look the most consistent team in the competition and are my selection to win today.

16:30 Man Utd v Arsenal
Arsenal
50 WIN
@1.44
Win
22
Arsenal need all three points from their visit to Old Trafford if they are to maintain thei4 title ambitions. United look like they have their minds on other things when they were hammered 0-4 at Crystal Palace in their last game. If they defend as poorly today then Arsenal could have a field day. Arsenal to win.
15:00 Ireland vs Pakistan 2nd Match
Pakistan
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.33

Ireland upset the odds in the first game in this series by beating Pakistan. The Pakistan players will now be more comfortable with the conditions and I expect a far better performance from them today. Pakistan to win.
15:00 London Broncos v Hull FC
Hull FC
To Win
50 WIN
@1.25
Lose
-50
This match features the two sides with the worst records in this seasons Super League. Broncos have lost all their games to date,and most of them by large margins. Hull can use this match as a confidence booster and get some points on the board. Hull to win.
15:00 Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Delhi Capitals
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.67
Win
34
Royal Challengers are on a four match winning streak that has taken them from the lower reaches of the points table to giving them a chance of making the play offs. Delhi also started the competition in poor form but improved but have now gone back to their inconsistent ways. With home advantage I prefer the chances of Bengaluru.
14:15 West Brom v Southampton
West Brom
50 WIN
@2.75
Lose
-50
West Bromwich Albion have a good home record in the Championship this season having gained twice as many points at the Hawthorns as they have managed on the road. They face a Saints side who had a big win over Leeds on the last game of the regular season. Albion offer limited scoring opportunities to the opposition and I can see WBA claiming a narrow first leg advantage.
12:00 Norwich v Leeds
Norwich
50 WIN
@3.30
Lose
-50
Both of these sides have had an indifferent finish to the regular season. Norwich manager Wagner has the experience of getting a team promoted via the play offs unlike Farke the man in charge at Leeds. Difficult on current form to predict which of these sides will qualify for the play off Final at Wembley,but I do think that with home advantage Norwich can claim a slender lead from this first leg.
11:00 Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals
Chennai Super Kings
Win Match
50 WIN
@2.00
Win
50
Chennai have been inconsistent this campaign in the IPL. However when playing at home in front of their passionate support they look a much better side. Rajasthan were the league leaders but have lost their last couple of matches. Chennai need a win to help their play off chances whereas Royals have already qualified. Chennai to win a close contest.
05:00 Sydney Roosters v New Zealand Warriors
Sydney Roosters
To Win
50 WIN
@1.25
Win
12
Roosters are in great form and have put over 100 points on the board in their last couple of matches. New Zealand Warriors are having a difficult time of things and face an uphill task if they are to get anything from this game. Roosters have a strong head to head r3cird against Wrriors and are a confident choice to win this game.

@1.22
Win

Catalan Dragons are a couple of places higher than Leeds in the standings,and have a strong home record. They have won their last seven consecutive home league games,including a hammering of Leeds. Leeds have an average away record and Catalan are the selection to win again.

Exeter Chiefs

@1.80

Sixth in the table Quins travel to the West Country to take on Exeter who are one place below them. Chiefs have a strong home record in all competitions,and have won six of eight at home in this competition this season. On the road Quins have won only three of eight. Exeter have won nine of the last ten home meetings in this league with Harlequins. Exeter to win.

@3.90

Chelsea have failed to win any of their last six away matches,drawing four of them. Forest have drawn two of their last four games at the City Ground. Two of the last three meetings of these clubs have ended all square so go with the Draw today at the price of 3.90.

Jan Lennard Struff 2.50

@2.10
Lose
-50
Head to head meetings between these two players currently stands at 3-3. Struff has won both clay court meetings however. Struff had a comfortable straight sets win in the first round. Tsitsipas won the Monte Carlo event and is in good form,but with a 2.50 games start Struff looks a good bet on the handicap.
15:05 Bristol v Saracens
Bristol
To Win
50 WIN
@2.37
Lose
-50
Bristol are currently in fifth place in this league,one place and two points behind Saracens,. Bristol have a strong home record and have won their last five matches in this competition,including wins over Northampton,Bath and Leicester. On the road Sarries are not at their best and have also had a couple of heavy away losses in European competition. Price of 2.37 for a Bristol victory looks good value.
Bristol 3.50
Handicap
50 WIN
@1.91
Lose
-50
Bristol with a 3.50 points start on the Handicap looks great value,especially as I expect them to win the match. My ratings have Bristol winning this game by a five point margin. Bristol have won their last five on the bounce in this competition including wins over the top three in the standings..
15:05 Scarlets v Ulster
Ulster
To Win
50 WIN
@1.33
Win
17
Ulster currently occupy eighth spot in the standings in this tournament with a game in hand on a couple of their rivals for a play off spot. Scarlets are down near the foot of the standings. Ulster have won the last six head to heads between these teams and although they don't have the bes5 away record Ulster should have enough quality to win today.
15:05 Sharks v Benetton Treviso
Sharks
To Win
50 WIN
@1.30
Lose
-50
Sharks had a big win in European competition in their last game and now are back in Durban to face a Benetton team who were eliminated in Europe in their last match. Sharks have a strong home record and should comfortably win this fixture.
15:00 Bournemouth v Brentford
Bournemouth
50 WIN
@2.00
Lose
-50
Brentford have had a poor season on the road ,with 12 defeats to date from 18 played. Bournemouth started the season slowly but have improved since . They have won four of their last five home games and can take all three points from this game.
15:00 Everton v Sheff Utd
Everton
50 WIN
@1.40
Win
20
Everton have had some improved results in recent weeks starting with their Merseyside derby victory. They host a Sheffield United team who are already relegated. The Blades have the worst defensive record in the league,having conceded over 100 goals. I think this could be painful for the visitors as Everton win this game by a large margin.

@1.40

Victory for Wigan would put them back on top of the Super League. Despite a recent blip they remain the best defensive unit in the league and have the flair players out wide to trouble any defence. Huddersfield are a useful side but have had some inconsistent results of late. Wigan to win is the prediction.
15:00 Kolkata Knight Riders vs Mumbai Indians
Kolkata Knight Riders
Win Match

@1.85

Top of the points table Kolkata face a Mumbai side who have had a poor tournament. Mumbai are joint bottom with just four wins from twelve and with no chance of making the play offs. Appointment of Hardyk Pandya has been disastrous and although they won their last game,versus Sunrisers they will probably lose again today. Kolkata to win.
SP Narine
Man Of The Match
50 WIN
@7.50
Lose
-50
Sunil Nadine has had an outstanding tournament with both bat and ball. He has picked up 14 wickets so far at a low economy rate. With the bat he is the fifth highest run scorer in the tournament. He hit 81 runs in his last knock off only 39 runs. He is a confident choice to ge5 the Man of the Match award.
T Varma (Mumbai Indians)
Top Team1 Batsman
50 WIN
@5.50

-50
Tilak Varma has been the leading run maker for Mumbai Indians throughout this years IPL. Several of his fellow batters have struggled for decent scores. Although he has his critics for his relatively slow scoring rate he can be supported to top score for Mumbai.
PD Salt (Kolkata Knight Riders)
Top Team2 Batsman
50 WIN
@4.00

Phil Salt did well for England in December t20 internationals,hitting two centuries. Since joking KKR he has secured the opener position and has relished his role with several big scores. His partnership with Narine at the top of the order has been excellent with both players in top form.
15:00 Newcastle v Brighton
Newcastle
50 WIN
@1.60

Newcastle have a strong home record and have won four of their last five at St.James Park. Brightons season has gone sour especially on the road where they have lost five of their last seven away fixtures. Newcastle to continue their fine home form and win today.

Tottenham
50 WIN
@1.36
Win

A defeat for Burnley in this match would see them relegated and they face a Spurs team who have had some inconsistent results in recent weeks. Spurs need the points to maintain their pursuit of a top four and Champions League place. Could be plenty of goals and I expect Spurs to win.
15:00 West Ham v Luton
West Ham
50 WIN
@1.80
Win

This will be David Moyes final game in charge of West Ham with his replacement already announced. Although he has constantly had to face criticism for the style of play he has his team playing I think that his players will want to finish with a win. Luton are desperately fighting against the drop and have lost their last five on the road. Home win for West Ham is the forecast.

Palace are finishing the season in Greta form topped off by a 4-0 hammering of Man United in their last game. Won four of their last five. Wolves are in mid table but have won only once in their last nine league games. With Olive and Ezra and Wharton in such great form Palace can win again today.

Felix Auger Aliassime

Auger Aliassime has been in fine form on the clay. He reached the Final in Madrid and will be confident of going deep into this tournament. His opponent is in poor recent form,and the Canadian leads in head to heads 2-1. Aliassime to win.
13:00 Beatriz Haddad Maia vs Madison Keys
Beatriz Haddad Maia
Win Match
50 WIN
@2.10
Lose
-50
Brazilian player Haddad Maia is at her best on the slower clay courts ,as evidenced by her win/loss record on the surface. Won 57 and lost only 19 in the last three years. She faces Madison Keys who reached the semi finals in Madrid. The surface in Madrid is the quickest of all clay courts in the European swing,but on this slower type of court Keys will find it more testing. She has just an average career record on this surface. Haddad Maia won the only previous meeting,and she is my choice to win again.
11:30 Angelique Kerber vs Aliaksandra Sasnovich

@1.83

Sasnovich will test the fitness levels of the veteran Kerber. Kerber prefers playing against hard hitters with shorter rallies. Sasnovich likes to move round court with longer rallies. Bith players had good wins in the first round and I feel that Sasnovich with a 2.50 games start can take this.

@1.91

-50
Storm have the best home record in the NRL ,a 100% win record this term. Against Cronulla Sharks they have won the last seven home games. Storm will be without two of their star backs hence the reason why they can be backed at the generous odds of 1.91. Earlier in the week they were 4-5 point favourites. Take the value and go with Melbourne to win.

Top two sides in the NRL face one another at Aami Park,Melbourne. Two of the best defensive records in the division as well. Cronulla have had 12 of their last 15 games finish at under the total points quote. Melbourne have also had the majority of matches this season end with the total number of points scored going under the forecast. Under 41.50 total points is the prediction.

Badosa leads 2-1 in head to heads versus Schneider. She won the most recent one in Stuttgart on clay. Both players are big hitters and this could turn out to be a battle to see who hits it harder and with more consistency. Badosa has had a long struggle against injury but there are signs of improved fitness. Badosa to win.

@1.53

Dragons will be looking at posting a big score against a Rabbitohs side in complete disarray. South's sacked their coach prior to their last match but that didn't make much difference. They are playing like a bunch of strangers who don't seem to care about getting hammered every week. Dragons have a couple of speedy backs who have already ran in plenty of tries this season and look set to claim a few more against the worst defence in the NRL.
06:00 Wests Tigers v Newcastle Knights

Newcastle Knights are on the fringe of the play off places and although they will be without their super star Kyla Ponga they do welcome back Frizzell at half back. They have won the last four head to heads against Wests Tigers and are strongly fancied to win and cover the 2.50 points handicap.

These two teams are the current leading sides in this competition. Blues have an outstanding home record at Eden Park,Auckland,winning their last ten consecutive matches. The Canes are going well at home and their record on the road is muc( improved but face a massive challenge in this fix5ure. Blues to secure a hard fought victory is the prediction.

Salford are having a decent season in Super League and are amongst the sides in the play off places. In recent meetings they have had the better of things against Leigh. With a 6.50 points start Salford look a good value wager on the Handicap.

St.Helens looked lethargic last week when conceding 40 points at Craven Park against HullKR. A win tonight would put them back on joint top position in the standings. Castleford have had some improved results of late with two wins and a draw in their last five,but I feel that Saints will be desperate to put their last game showing out of their system as they get back to winning ways.
20:00 Doncaster v Crewe
Doncaster

Doncaster hold a two goal lead after the first leg and will be comfortable to sit back and hit Crewe on the break tonight. Pressure will be on Alex to attack from an early stage thus offering space for the home side to attack.

Sale Sharks are up amongst the contenders for a place in the play offs,with their strong home recor£ being a major influence on their lofty standing. Lost just once at home in the Avila Premiership all season. The away form of Leicester has been inconsistent all campaign,with four wins and also four losses. Sale have dominated head to heads with nine wins in the last ten. Sale to win.

Katie Noulter hasn't played that much on the slower clay courts in the last year or so,mainly due to injuries. She has the power in her game to see off the threat of Stramkova who beat a wildcard in the last 4ound. Boulder to win.

Gujarat are having a poor IPL this year and are currently bottom of the points table. Their overall game has been dissapointing this term,especially when you consider how well they did in their initial seasons. Chennai need a win to keep pace with the leaders as they fight for a play off spot. They have lost a couple of players from their squad and will hav3 to make changes. Their squad strengt( is so good that they should still be capable of securing a victory.

Parramatta are having a terrible time of things with th3 in defence giving up lots of points per game. They will also be minus two more of their starting line up for this match. Brisbane look a side who could go all the way to the Grand Final again this season and should comfortably beat the Eels.
