Within the previous three head-to-head matches, all three games have resulted in over 2.5 match goals.
Augsburg vs Freiburg - Bundesliga

Reason for Tip
The hosts Augsburg have been involved in two matches resulting in over 1.5 match goals within their previous two matches. Meanwhile the visitors Freiburg have been involved in four matches resulting in over 1.5 match goals within their previous four games.
Senegal vs Morocco - Africa Cup of Nations
BTTS - Yes
Reason for Tip
The hosts Senegal come in-to the match in excellent scoring form, managing to score in nine of their previous ten matches. Meanwhile the visitors Morocco have a perfect scoring record within their previous ten matches, scoring in all all ten games.
Wolves vs Newcastle - Premier League
BTTS - Yes
Reason for Tip
The hosts Wolves have been involved in four matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous five matches, managing to score in all five games. Meanwhile the visitors Newcastle have been involved in three matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous four matches.
Nantes vs Paris FC - Ligue 1

TDJ Williams Waste Limited Mares' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race) - Windsor
Anariza
Reason for Tip
Relatively consistent six year old who has showed ability when contesting some novice hurdle at the start of his hurdling career back in Feb and March last year and was close on both of those occasions. Sent into a Listed event at Cheltenham following that and found that a little tough and a little too far and was ultimately pulled up. Had a long break following that until last seen on seasonal return lto at Wetherby. Ran a blinder and won nicely that day in first time hood. Remains open to plenty of progression and whilst this is a step back up into Class 2 company, looks nicely treated and very capable of putting in a big performance here. Does have a Skelton horse at the head of the market but that horse hasn’t looked all that so far this season and so Jack Andrews is taken to ride Anariza to victory today on ideal ground.
Fakenham Skips Mares' Handicap Hurdle - Fakenham
Audacious Annie
Reason for Tip
This seven year old has been a little inconsistent but with flashes of positivity including two starts ago at Warwick when second in this class. When last seen lto at Kempton was going over an extended 3miles and found that a little too much distance wise and ultimately faded into 5th place but did run well for what is his usual distance so positives to take. Returns to suited normal trip today of 2m4f and looks primed for a good run here back at this distance. Will like the ground, has a decent apprentice aboard taking off a big 7lb and it would be naïve to write Audacious Annie out of this. Looks to have a good chance and represents a yard having a good season so far.
Fitzdares Personal Betting Service Stayers Handicap Chase (GBB Race) - Windsor
Special John
Reason for Tip
Special John has form of 22211 dating back to March 2025 and bids for a hattrick here today. Has looked pretty strong and progressive at the figures since joining the Thomas yard and whilst this is a jump of two classes into Class 3, he ran a very positive race last time when winning and there appeared to be plenty of untapped potential still. Will stay the trip and the 5lb rise doesn’t look enough to keep this boy away from the winners enclosure. Lots of question marks over some of these in this race today and despite this being a warmer race, it’s definitely winnable. Decent booking in Dylan Johnston and would be no surprise to see the hattrick completed.
SIS Supporting Irish Racing Hunters Chase - Thurles
Willitgoahead
Reason for Tip
Seasoned campaigner who has plenty of ability if running even close to his best. Pulled up in May at Punchestown in a very warm Championship event however returned to some nice form when running seasonal return at Down Royal lto in December when second between On The Line and Con’s Roc. That’s strong form and easily sets the form standard in this lineup today. Will be fine on this trip today given the suited ground conditions and has a great record at this track including winning this race last year. From a top irish trainer in red hot form and has a good apprentice aboard today. Looks the winner.
W.T. O'Grady & E.J. O'Grady Memorial Irish EBF Novice Hurdle - Thurles
Espresso Milan
Reason for Tip
Interesting little 6 runner race here in the 1.10 at Thurles and the stand out is Mullins trained Espresso Milan. Three runs for Fergal O’Brien with form of 427 before switching to Mullins and winning hurdle debut lto on fourth start in nice style. There was some greenness evident in the fluidity of the jumping that day but likely to come on leaps and bounds after that hurdle debut and looks a promising type. On pedigree, this increase in trip to 2m6f looks fine and this six year old has a strong engine, that’s been evident already. Has first string jockey aboard in Paul Townend and Mullins and Townend share a good strikerate at this course. With inevitable improvement to come over the obstacles and trip being suited, Espresso Milan could take this handily today and looks the winner in waiting.
Wensum Farmers: Making Progress & Working Together Handicap Chase - Fakenham
Brother Boris
Reason for Tip
Seven year old Brother Boris has raced ten times without finding a win thus far but has ran some good races in defeat at times, particularly over course and distance on new years day last year when second. Because of the results since, Brother Boris is now 7lb lower today than when he finished second here last year and that can’t be ignored. Big question mark is the absence, not been since April and so has a big break to overcome. However, if somewhat primed and running well fresh, off this mark looks rather dangerous as generally jumps well, will stay the trip and has a decent jockey aboard in Tom Cannon. Decent chance down in class on returning run.
Real Sociedad vs Barcelona - Primera División
Barcelona Win
Reason for Tip
Real Sociedad vs Barcelona – Tips, Predictions & 7/1 Bet Builder
La Liga | 18 January | 20:00
Venue: Reale Arena
Real Sociedad vs Barcelona Preview
Real Sociedad may find themselves in a modest 12th place in the La Liga standings, but Pellegrino Matarazzo’s side come into this clash in encouraging form, carrying a five-match unbeaten run in all competitions into Sunday night’s showdown with league leaders Barcelona.
La Real recently claimed a 2–1 away win over Getafe in La Liga and have also progressed in the Copa del Rey with victories against Eldense (2–1) and Osasuna (4–3 on penalties). Confidence has clearly grown, particularly in attack, where creativity and pressing intensity have improved noticeably in recent weeks.
Barcelona, however, arrive in San Sebastián in ominous form. The Catalans currently sit top of La Liga, holding a four-point lead over Real Madrid, and boast an exceptional run of 11 consecutive wins in all competitions.
The wider league picture underlines their dominance: Barcelona have won 16 of their 19 La Liga matches this season, including seven victories on the road. Hans-Dieter Flick’s side continue to combine control with cutting edge, making them formidable opponents even away from home.

Venue: Coliseum Alfonso Pérez
Getafe vs Valencia Preview
Getafe will be desperate to arrest a worrying downturn in form as they welcome relegation-threatened Valencia on Sunday lunchtime. José Bordalás’ side have lost four of their last five La Liga matches, a run compounded by a 3–1 Copa del Rey defeat away at Burgos, raising further concerns around confidence and consistency.
League defeats to Villarreal, Espanyol, Real Betis and Real Sociedad have seen Getafe slide down the table, while home form has been far from convincing — the hosts have managed just three wins from nine league games at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez this season.
Valencia remain stuck in the bottom three and are still searching for a way out of trouble. Carlos Corberán’s side are winless in six La Liga matches, drawing three and losing three, although a 2–0 Copa del Rey win at Burgos in midweek offered a rare positive moment.
However, league form on the road remains a major issue for Los Che. Valencia are yet to win away from home in La Liga, drawing three and losing six, a statistic that continues to undermine their survival hopes heading into this tricky away assignment.

Venue: Craven Cottage
Broadcast: Sky Go UK, Sky Sports Premier League, Sky Sports Ultra/Main Event
Match Overview
Having earned a solid point in last week’s season opener down on the south coast in a 1-1 draw against Brighton, Fulham now return to the home surroundings of Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon as they welcome Manchester United along the Thames.
With three pre-season wins under their belts against Nottingham Forest, Al Ittihad and Eintracht Frankfurt respectively, Marco Silva’s side will be feeling positive about their chances against United, especially as The Cottagers have won each of their last two home games on the trot.
Manchester United faced a tough proposition in the shape of Arsenal last week despite holding home advantage at Old Trafford and the Red Devils were unable to avoid defeat to The Gunners as they went down in a 1-0 loss. That result now makes it just one win from their last five competitive matches overall.
Last season was definitely one to forget for United manager Ruben Amorim and his side, who registered an extremely poor 15th place finish in the Premier League table whilst also managing just four wins in their 19 away games. This could therefore be a tricky outing to the nation’s capital for the visitors.
Team News:
-
Fulham: Marco Silva has fitness concerns over defenders Ryan Sessegnon and Antonee Robinson. Rodrigo Muniz is pushing for a start up front and could partner Raul Jimenez.
-
Manchester United: Still without Lisandro Martinez (knee) and Noussair Mazraoui (hamstring). Doubts remain over whether Andre Onana will return in goal.
Prediction: Fulham Double Chance 🔑
Venue: Stadium de Toulouse
Broadcast: Ligue 1 Pass
Match Overview
Sunday afternoon’s hosts, Toulouse, produced an encouraging start to the new Ligue 1 season with a 1-0 win away at Nice. Manager Carles Martínez will be urging his players on to repeat the feat as they prepare for the visit of Brest.
Toulouse ended last season strongly, winning two of their final three games against Angers and Saint-Etienne. Victory this weekend would see them notch up a fourth straight Ligue 1 win – momentum is firmly in their corner.
Brest, meanwhile, had to settle for a point in a six-goal thriller at home to Lille, drawing 3-3 in an entertaining but defensively shaky performance. Eric Roy will be wary of his side’s fragility at the back.
The visitors did secure a 9th-placed finish last term, but their away form remains a concern, with 10 defeats in 17 games on the road. This trip to Toulouse looks a difficult test.
Team News:
-
Toulouse: Still without injured quartet Ilyas Azizi, Abu Francis, Rafik Messali and Niklas Schmidt. However, the squad’s overall fitness has improved.
-
Brest: Eric Roy has a full squad available, with midfielder Kamory Doumbia the standout threat.
Prediction: Toulouse win ✅

Anariza
Reason for Tip
Relatively consistent six year old who has showed ability when contesting some novice hurdle at the start of his hurdling career back in Feb and March last year and was close on both of those occasions. Sent into a Listed event at Cheltenham following that and found that a little tough and a little too far and was ultimately pulled up. Had a long break following that until last seen on seasonal return lto at Wetherby. Ran a blinder and won nicely that day in first time hood. Remains open to plenty of progression and whilst this is a step back up into Class 2 company, looks nicely treated and very capable of putting in a big performance here. Does have a Skelton horse at the head of the market but that horse hasn’t looked all that so far this season and so Jack Andrews is taken to ride Anariza to victory today on ideal ground.
Fakenham Skips Mares' Handicap Hurdle - Fakenham
Audacious Annie
Reason for Tip
This seven year old has been a little inconsistent but with flashes of positivity including two starts ago at Warwick when second in this class. When last seen lto at Kempton was going over an extended 3miles and found that a little too much distance wise and ultimately faded into 5th place but did run well for what is his usual distance so positives to take. Returns to suited normal trip today of 2m4f and looks primed for a good run here back at this distance. Will like the ground, has a decent apprentice aboard taking off a big 7lb and it would be naïve to write Audacious Annie out of this. Looks to have a good chance and represents a yard having a good season so far.
Fitzdares Personal Betting Service Stayers Handicap Chase (GBB Race) - Windsor
Special John
Reason for Tip
Special John has form of 22211 dating back to March 2025 and bids for a hattrick here today. Has looked pretty strong and progressive at the figures since joining the Thomas yard and whilst this is a jump of two classes into Class 3, he ran a very positive race last time when winning and there appeared to be plenty of untapped potential still. Will stay the trip and the 5lb rise doesn’t look enough to keep this boy away from the winners enclosure. Lots of question marks over some of these in this race today and despite this being a warmer race, it’s definitely winnable. Decent booking in Dylan Johnston and would be no surprise to see the hattrick completed.
SIS Supporting Irish Racing Hunters Chase - Thurles
Willitgoahead
Reason for Tip
Seasoned campaigner who has plenty of ability if running even close to his best. Pulled up in May at Punchestown in a very warm Championship event however returned to some nice form when running seasonal return at Down Royal lto in December when second between On The Line and Con’s Roc. That’s strong form and easily sets the form standard in this lineup today. Will be fine on this trip today given the suited ground conditions and has a great record at this track including winning this race last year. From a top irish trainer in red hot form and has a good apprentice aboard today. Looks the winner.
W.T. O'Grady & E.J. O'Grady Memorial Irish EBF Novice Hurdle - Thurles
Espresso Milan
Reason for Tip
Interesting little 6 runner race here in the 1.10 at Thurles and the stand out is Mullins trained Espresso Milan. Three runs for Fergal O’Brien with form of 427 before switching to Mullins and winning hurdle debut lto on fourth start in nice style. There was some greenness evident in the fluidity of the jumping that day but likely to come on leaps and bounds after that hurdle debut and looks a promising type. On pedigree, this increase in trip to 2m6f looks fine and this six year old has a strong engine, that’s been evident already. Has first string jockey aboard in Paul Townend and Mullins and Townend share a good strikerate at this course. With inevitable improvement to come over the obstacles and trip being suited, Espresso Milan could take this handily today and looks the winner in waiting.
Wensum Farmers: Making Progress & Working Together Handicap Chase - Fakenham
Brother Boris
Reason for Tip
Seven year old Brother Boris has raced ten times without finding a win thus far but has ran some good races in defeat at times, particularly over course and distance on new years day last year when second. Because of the results since, Brother Boris is now 7lb lower today than when he finished second here last year and that can’t be ignored. Big question mark is the absence, not been since April and so has a big break to overcome. However, if somewhat primed and running well fresh, off this mark looks rather dangerous as generally jumps well, will stay the trip and has a decent jockey aboard in Tom Cannon. Decent chance down in class on returning run.

Real Sociedad vs Barcelona Preview
Real Sociedad may find themselves in a modest 12th place in the La Liga standings, but Pellegrino Matarazzo’s side come into this clash in encouraging form, carrying a five-match unbeaten run in all competitions into Sunday night’s showdown with league leaders Barcelona.
La Real recently claimed a 2–1 away win over Getafe in La Liga and have also progressed in the Copa del Rey with victories against Eldense (2–1) and Osasuna (4–3 on penalties). Confidence has clearly grown, particularly in attack, where creativity and pressing intensity have improved noticeably in recent weeks.
Barcelona, however, arrive in San Sebastián in ominous form. The Catalans currently sit top of La Liga, holding a four-point lead over Real Madrid, and boast an exceptional run of 11 consecutive wins in all competitions.
The wider league picture underlines their dominance: Barcelona have won 16 of their 19 La Liga matches this season, including seven victories on the road. Hans-Dieter Flick’s side continue to combine control with cutting edge, making them formidable opponents even away from home.

La Liga | 18 January | 13:00
Venue: Coliseum Alfonso Pérez
Getafe vs Valencia Preview
Getafe will be desperate to arrest a worrying downturn in form as they welcome relegation-threatened Valencia on Sunday lunchtime. José Bordalás’ side have lost four of their last five La Liga matches, a run compounded by a 3–1 Copa del Rey defeat away at Burgos, raising further concerns around confidence and consistency.
League defeats to Villarreal, Espanyol, Real Betis and Real Sociedad have seen Getafe slide down the table, while home form has been far from convincing — the hosts have managed just three wins from nine league games at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez this season.
Valencia remain stuck in the bottom three and are still searching for a way out of trouble. Carlos Corberán’s side are winless in six La Liga matches, drawing three and losing three, although a 2–0 Copa del Rey win at Burgos in midweek offered a rare positive moment.
However, league form on the road remains a major issue for Los Che. Valencia are yet to win away from home in La Liga, drawing three and losing six, a statistic that continues to undermine their survival hopes heading into this tricky away assignment.
