Celje have seen 2+ goals in each of their last eight matches ahead of this first leg clash, seeing four goals in their most recent game as they drew 2-2 with Mura. 

Celje have covered this line on their own in seven of these eight games, highlighting their scoring power and suggests that they will be able to contribute to the goal tally in this one.

Egnatia have avoided defeat in each of their last five matches and seen 2+ goals in each of their last 12 games - including both of their qualifying tie against Petrocub in the last round.

Levski Sofia saw 2+ goals in both legs of their qualifying tie against Borac in the last round and look well placed to see at least two goals again here having seen 2+ goals in seven of their last 10 matches across all competitions.

Craiova saw five goals in the first leg of their qualifying tie against Vitebsk in the last round, scoring four goals in that comfortable victory. They’ve seen 2+ goals in three of their last four matches and should be able to contribute to the goal tally here in what looks like a very even contest between these two.

This is a nice price for Kairat to find the back of the net in this first leg tie as they attempt to qualify for the Champions League for the second consecutive campaign.

Kairat eased through the last round, scoring 2+ goals in both legs against Sutjeska to set up this tie against Omonia. 

Kairat have scored in each of their last nine matches ahead of this clash and should have the ideal experience to navigate another qualifying campaign after reaching the Champions League through this avenue last year. 

Vancouver Whitecaps lead the way in the Western Conference of the MLS, having won 10 of their 14 matches as they look to go one better after reaching the final of the MLS Cup last year, losing to Inter Miami.

Vancouver have scored the joint most goals of any side in the Western Conference (34 - 2.42 per game), with only Inter Miami (39) and their opponents here (36) scoring more goals than the Whitecaps across the entirety of MLS.

Cincinnati's games in the MLS so far have been crazy, their 15 matches have produced 73 goals (4.86 per game), which is more than any other side across both conferences. 

Each of Cincinnati’s last five matches has seen 3+ goals, with their most recent outing producing eight goals as they came away 6-2 winners over Orlando.

These sides last met in October 2025 in a clash that produced eight goals as Chicago came away 5-3 winners over Inter Miami as the away side.

Neither side has changed their attacking style too much since that eight-goal thriller, promising more goals in this meeting between two sides who are only separated by one spot in the Eastern Conference.

Chicago have a game in hand on Inter Miami and can move within two points of their opponents here with victory on the road. Their six away matches have produced 18 goals so far this season (3.0 per game), and they’ve seen 3+ goals in eight of their last nine matches.

Inter Miami have only managed to win two of their six home games so far this term, with those matches producing 29 goals (4.83 per game).

Philadelphia have really struggled so far this season after a pretty promising campaign last year. 

They’ve only managed to win one of their 15 matches, losing 10 of those games, which is a set of results that leave them rock bottom of the Eastern Conference.

Philadelphia have seen 48 goals across these 15 games (3.2 per game) and have failed to win any of their last eight matches, with half of those games seeing 3+ goals. 

New York Red Bulls have seen 57 goals across their 15 matches this term (3.8 per game), with 30 of those goals coming across eight away games (3.75 per game).

Montreal have always struggled on the road in the MLS, and the same has been true this term, with the away side coming into this clash against the top side in the Eastern Conference having won just one of their eight away games - losing six of those matches.

Montreal have conceded 24 goals across those games (3.0 per game), making it incredibly difficult on paper for them to stand a chance in this clash. 

Nashville have lost just one of their seven home games this season, conceding just two goals across those matches, which is the best defensive home record of any side in the Eastern Conference.

I backed Ross Smith for 5+ 180s in his opening game of the tournament against Kevin Doets and he cleared that line with ease across 16 legs with 7+ 180s.

Smith was very impressive in that game, averaging 100.55 to beat Doets, with his opponent also averaging in excess of 100. 

Smith is very reliable when it comes to maximums, he’s averaging 0.33 180s per leg across the last 12 months and maintained an average of 0.43 180s per leg in his opener - a rate that is only matched by Luke Littler.

I’m always keen to back Wade in the big major tournaments. 

He’s still playing at a very good level and I think this format suits him. He saw off Jermaine Wattimena in the first round, hitting 7+ 180s as he came away a 10-7 winner. 

This development in his scoring has meant that Wade can now live with the new generation of darts players and he still has the same confidence at the back end of legs to make him effective. 

Ryan Searle has plenty of talent but often lacks the discipline and motivation to put together a deep run at a major tournament.

Wade reached the final of the World Matchplay last year, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him as one of the final players left in the field this time around. 

I can’t quite believe how this game has been priced.

Nijman is a 1.57 favourite despite never going past the Round of 16 at a major tournament. 

There’s no doubt that he’s an impressive player, but I still think Van Veen has an edge here and would also consider looking at him to win, which is available at 2.38.

Van Veen hasn’t been at his best over the last few months, but crucially has experience of going deep at major tournaments - reaching the final of the World Championships as well as winning the European Championship last year. 

Van Veen saw off Ratajski in his opener, who is an awkward opponent and beat Van Veen just a week ago on the European Tour, so Van Veen did well to hold his nerve in that game. 

The doubles could be the difference here, Van Veen is the best finisher around at the moment for me and the 66% on the doubles he managed against Ratajski reflects that.

Rob Cross looks really good at the moment. 

He’s been impressive for the last few months but his display against Noppert in the first round shows that he’s back to a very dangerous level.

He hit a brilliant 128 checkout in that game, ending on the bull, and should have really followed that with a 170 which he chose to set up for a more favourable finish.

Price had to battle from behind to overcome Martin Schindler in the first round, running out an 11-9 winner with both players hitting a 100+ checkout.

This was a runner at 16/1 in MI London v Sunrisers Leeds. Before the visitors' mini-collapse it looked very promising with Mitch Marsh going well, eventually posting 144, with MI London chasing the runs down with ease suggesting they'd have comfortably exceeded the 170+ runs line if they needed to.

Welsh Fire are at the bottom of the outright market, but they are a batting-heavy side with England opener Phil Salt, last season's leading Hundred run scorer, Jordan Cox, in their ranks along with a weak bowling lineup compared to the rest of the competition.

The Brave have a few players coming into The Hundred with a point to prove, supported by reliable T20 overseas performers in David Miller, Tristan Stubbs and Marcus Stoinis, all of whom could put a hefty dent in the 170 line on their own.

Jordan Cox was comfortably the best batter at last year's Hundred, scoring 84 runs more than anyone else to top the run-scoring charts.

He averaged 61 in that campaign, and will be looking to make a good start for his new franchise, Welsh Fire, with a spot in the England white-ball sides in his sights.

Cox covered this line in seven of nine innings in last year's competition.

Marco Jansen, who stands at 6ft 8in, will lead the attack for the Fire and will likely get a crack at a vulnerable Southern Brave top order with the ball in hand. He may also come back at the death as well to increase his chances of getting this bet up.

He should be a lock for the 20-ball capacity per bowler, and has a range of dismissals he can target with the bounce he gets, his ability to take pace off the ball and the shape he can get with the new ball.

Lightly raced so far this year with only three appearances, EMMA’S LETTER (8.7) produced a career-best performance last time out at Nottingham and, given she is now racing consistently, further improvement looks likely for the three-year-old. 

Always doing enough to fend off the challenging Liveinthelight earlier this month over 1m2f, she thrived when dropped in trip and given she won with what looked to be plenty in reserve, she looks an appealing price to follow up and land back-to-back wins.  

Considering Liveinthelight went on to win by 3 ¾ lengths after finishing second to Emma’s Letter, this only boosts her form heading into today’s contest and given the favourite’s confidence isn’t at an all-time high, with no wins in his last five appearances (20,4,4,3,4) and only breaking into the top three on one of those starts, Emma’s Letter gets the nod today, with further improvement looking on the cards.

Producing respectable performances in her two-year-old campaign last year with results of 4,3,2, ZEN  DIVA (8.1) has hit the ground running when making her return in May. It looks a likely candidate to continue improving. 

Racing twice this season, Zen Diva won on her return after a seven-month absence when dominating at  Ripon over 6f. Running on strongly inside the final furlong, the three-year-old put an impressive seven lengths between herself and second place, and given she followed up on this form last time out at  Salisbury, she’s the one to watch. 

Landing back-to-back wins when following up to score at Salisbury, Zen Diva put in another wide-margin victory of 5 ½ lengths. Although she is now in a more competitive race, with a 6lb rise, this still doesn’t look to be enough to stop her, and she looks a solid performer for Ralph Beckett and connections.
