Burnley-Sunderland I want to look at first, and for a Premier League side that has just beaten Newcastle against the newbies, I'm keen to take the away win here. Watford DNB is 1.80 which I find strange, and that is the bet which I'm running with. I think a striker may be out, but I still fancy them to not lose this one. The odds are tumbling though, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Watford come in further.
I want goal in the Fulham game, over 2.5 is around 1.80 and with the home side rocking confidence wise, Blackburn may have a right old go today, especially if the boos start ringing out. Lanciano are 2.30 and I'm happy taking that and Urawa are 1.90. Okayama play at 11 too and I'll be looking at getting my cash back with an evens money win v Ehime. Capiata evens, Hamilton evens, Las Palmas evens head three in a row for me here.
Brest in Belarus are 2.30 on the DNB, I'll be taking that and +0.5 1.70. Ilves v KTP and I'm looking overs at 1.70. That's about all I've got to at the moment, I'll tag some in plays once they become available.
Couple of games have my eye on today. Ingolstadt go out at around 1.90 which looks decent, Persepolis I want to see their SP odds and any team goals odds. Aberystwyth I'll be taking a look at over 2.5 and 3 pre game and then get on 2.5 possibly in play. HJK goals and possibly home win at some point, Bayern II in play and perhaps team goals and MTK Budapest who I think are around evens from the off. Not as conclusive today in the preview, quite busy, but will give some definite punts closer to kick off or in play in these games.
Italy play Norway later today, and the 1.80 looks decent IMO. It may not be straight forward, but you'd think Italy should have more than enough in the locker to get their first win in the campaign on the board. Japan-Venezuela also interests me, although I'm not overly enamored by the lines. SP Japan go off 1.61, and I'm pretty sure you could eek a bit more out soon after KO. The goal line is set to 2.5 2.00, and this may be worth a punt, although I'd be more inclined to perhaps hit goal line 2 if it hits 1.90/2.00. Also the team goals Japan isn't up yet, but 1.5 is an option from kick off if odds appeal.
Singapore I feel should beat Hong Kong, and at 2.00, that's what I'd suggest. Goal line 2.5 2.00 is also a pre game option. At 2.30pm there are three Hungarian Cup games that I want to look at for goals, in Honved, Ujpest and Puskas but the 365 markets aren't up yet and I can't be arsed to trawl oddschecker, so I'm just letting you know here. I'll assess these just before kick off.
Some under 21 games next, and I think Israel should cover the over 2.5 goals market at 1.70 and they should get over the -1.5 at 1.80. Finland over 2.5 is 1.40 and you may want to see if this gets interesting in play at around 1.90/evens. Again if you want to take it pre game then the goal line 3 should be available but again, 365 have no early market. Similar situation too with Portugal, goal line 2.5 is 1.42 and the goal line 3 may be the option.
In the Argentine cup, Rafaela are 1.80 v Talleres and I'm going for this too.
Italy, 1.80. Japan, 1.61 and over 2.5 2.00 (but may be goal line 2 in play will be better) Singapore, 2.00 and over 2.5 2.00 (see above though) Hungarian games 2.30pm, see just before KO. Israel U21 over 2.5 1.70, -1.5 1.80. Finland U21 and Portugal U21 goal line 3 if it appeals, or wait for 2.5 1.90s/2.00. Rafaela, 1.80.
Just some early fancies today then. 8pm tonight, and Australia are 2.05 v Saudi Arabia. Over 2 goals is 1.70 which should go rather quickly out to 1.80/1.90 and which will be a price that I would fancy. Earlier than that is Germany U19 v England and Ze Germans are 1.90 to win this one. England suffered a poor loss to Ukraine last time out and Germany may sense a bit more blood today. Hendon play Peacehavan and Telscombe, and the away side have a poor record traveling so I'll be looking to get on the home team. And finally Dundalk play at 7.45pm v Derry. Over 2.5 is 1.80, but I want to see the price of over 1.5 tg for Dundalk. 1.60 for the win is a little shitty, and the team goals may represent the better value.
Australia, 2.05, and over 2 goals 1.70. Germany U19, 1.90. Hendon 2.00. Dundalk over 2.5 1.80 (looking for over 1.5 home team goals too)
Bouchard goes off against Makarova at evens today, and I'm surprised at this. Bouchard has had some technical issues, particularly, with the forehand in recent weeks, but still, we are heading towards the business end of tournaments to which Bouchard seems to relish in matchplay situations. KTP v Haka later, and I fancy this one going over 2.5 goals. KTP have been slightly rocky lately and look good to concede, so I'm expecting goals. Suwon goals also looks a decent shout in their game against Bucheon; once more, my caveat is that these pair of 1.72s should hit 1.90 fairly quickly if you fancy an in-play job!
Eugenie Bouchard, 2.00. KTP over 2.5 goals, 1.72. Suwon over 2.5 goals, 1.72.
Not overly value busting today, but there are three games which I fancy. Hoffenheim II go off against SPVGG, and they should win this one. This is in the Regionalliga South West, in Germany. Jaro-Honka over 2.5 also looks fairly decent at 1.80 in Finland, and Celje in Slovenia away to Radomlje may be worth a shout. The overs gives slightly better value here, so I'll take that. In Croatia RNK Split are 1.66/1.70 to get two goals or more, and I fancy taking this up too. Will be going out for the day so will not be able to monitor these, but as always there may be greater opportunity to take these in play at some point for better odds.
Hoffenheim II, 1.82. Jaro over 2.5, 1.80. Celje over 2.5, 1.75. RNK Split over 1.5 team goals, 1.70.
Swansea City host Burnley today and the Welsh outfit should have little difficulty seeing out this match I believe. Burnley's first taster of Premier League football gave them some instant highs when they took the lead against Chelsea only to see they get pegged back in double quick time. This may be a long afternoon for Burnley if Swansea decide to keep ball like they do so well.
The Swans will also be boosted by that first league result too against Manchester United and a good crowd with good weather should roar them into two wins from two. Swansea to win outright is 1.67, but I'll be a little more adventurous.
Jerzy Janowicz also plays tonight, and after losing the first set to Sam Querrey in the semi final and winning, surely now has the mental aptitude to see the tournament out. Janowicz outright is 1.70, but I'll be looking at giving him a slight disadvantage; so the -1.5 games at evens with PaddyPower looks the ticket.
Swansea -0.5,-1.0, 1.80. Jerzy Janowicz -1.5 games, 2.00.
Angers play Chateauroux today in the French Ligue 2, and I'll be banking on more Chateauroux poor away form. The Angers win isn't exactly ground breaking, but at 1.60 it looks fairly safe. The over 1.5 team goals for Angers may be something worth considering too. A goal-less draw away last time around, but their home form is decent and they should net at least once, and I expect the second too. Chateauroux lost 3-0 to Creteil in their first away league match of the season which is also something you may want to add into the mix; perhaps if you're looking at something more adventurous like the -1 cap at around 2.10. As always though, you'll get a lot more value in-play if this match heads towards 0-0 at around the 20-30 minute mark, where Angers may well be near 1.90/evens by this time.
Not a great deal I fancy today after winning 2 out of 2 yesterday, but I'm going to put a few eggs in one basket in the match between Stjarnan and Inter. It's no secret that the Iceland side are over the moon to be here, after wins over Motherwell and Lech. The truth is however, that they took a bit of a bombardment against Lech, and I suspect that this could be the game that Inter fancy for a little bit of a blitz job. Several markets appeal to me, the -1.5, the over 2.5 and the corners. I think I'll take all three, in the hope that Inter will simply have too much class for them. Betfred give the overs 2.5 market as 1.73. I'm also going with the donkey Kevin Anderson once again. Yes I've been stung a whole bunch on the idiot, but I simply don't like Querrey either. Anderson is 1.70 on the exchange.
Inter -1.5, 1.65. Over 2.5 goals, 1.73. Match corners over 10.5, 1.83. Kevin Anderson, 1.70.
Cardiff host Wigan tonight, and Cardiff DNB 1.68 looks a decent shout. Cardiff have had a decent start to the season, whilst Wigan have had an uneven start to the campaign and in pre-season. Cardiff also look in the goal scoring mood, so you'd think they would at least get a goal if not two tonight.
Jerzy Janowicz can be a frustrating player, He lost quite tragically to Benneteau, but hopefully that was his one shocker of the month. He came back stronger against Berlocq, and I'm combining this recent better form with Sousa's inability to beat anyone above his station. -2.5 games Janowivz 1.73 is my suggestion.
A Texas man thought to be the US Navy sailor kissing a nurse in an iconic end of World War Two photo has died.
Glenn McDuffie died aged 86 at a nursing home in Dallas on Sunday, his daughter said.
McDuffie's claim to be the man in the famed VJ day photo was supported by a police forensic artist's analysis.
Photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt took the image as the news of
Japan's surrender filtered through New York's Times Square on 14 August
1945.
McDuffie had told US media that he was changing subway trains when he heard that Japan had surrendered.
Glenn McDuffie: ''She was standing out there in the middle of the street... I went over there and kissed her''
"I was so happy. I ran out in the street," said McDuffie, who was then 18 and on his way to visit his girlfriend.
"And then I saw that nurse,'' he said.
"She saw me hollering and with a big smile on my face... I just went right to her and kissed her."
Edith Shain, who worked in a nearby hospital, claimed to be the nurse in the photo. She died in 2010.

The world's oldest known Holocaust survivor, Alice Herz-Sommer, has died in London at the age of 110.
Ms Herz-Sommer, whose life was the subject of the Oscar-nominated
documentary The Lady in Number 6, passed away after being admitted to
hospital on Friday.
"Alice Sommer passed away peacefully this morning (Sunday) with her family by her bedside," her grandson Ariel Sommer said.
"Much has been written about her, but to those of us who knew her best, she was our dear 'Gigi'.
"She loved us, laughed with us, and cherished music with us. She was an
inspiration and our world will be significantly poorer without her by
our side." Ms Herz-Sommer survived the Nazi concentration camp at Terezin
Ms Herz-Sommer was born in Prague in 1903. In 1943 the Nazis sent her
and her son Stephan to a concentration camp in the Czech city of
Terezin.
She and Stephan were freed in 1945 when the Soviet Red Army liberated
the camp. She emigrated to Israel, before eventually settling in
Britain.
Her husband died of typhus at Dachau, while her mother died at Treblinka.
An accomplished pianist, Ms Herz-Sommer and other musicians gave
performances in the concentration camp in an attempt to raise the
spirits of the inmates.
She once said that Beethoven was her religion and that music had saved
her life. She also said she bore no grudges, and saw her life as a
wonderful gift.
The film about her life has been nominated for best short documentary at the Academy Awards next Sunday. A film about Ms Herz-Sommer's life is nominated for an Oscar
Malcolm Clark, the film's director, and Nick Reed, its producer, said
in a statement that telling Ms Herz-Sommer's story had been a
life-changing experience.
"Even as her energy slowly diminished, her bright spirit never failed," the statement said.
"Her life force was so strong, we could never imagine her not being
around. We can all learn so much from this most amazing woman."
An estimated 140,000 Jews were sent to Terezin and 33,430 died there.
About 88,000 were moved to Auschwitz and other death camps, where most of them were killed.
A very good Saturday saw over +140 profit primarily on the football. A shock result in the boxing saw Woodhouse beat Hamilton on a split decision which may produce some more rumblings going forward.
