Newcastle v Wolves
Premier League – 4.00 pm
Sky Sports

Newcastle somehow managed to dig out a point in midweek. They hopped across country to Goodison Park to meet Everton on Wednesday night. The Magpies got a 1-1 draw, despite barely getting a touch of the ball. After their home drubbing against West Ham last weekend, that will have been a welcome point for Rafa Benitez’s men. Can the Magpies get back to winning ways in the northeast? Well, leading bookmakers have them as 9/5 underdogs for their Sunday showdown against Wolves.

The Magpies are just W2 L6 in eight home games this term in the top flight. Those two wins were in their last three on Tyneside though. Interestingly six of Newcastle’s eight home games this season have been settled by a one-goal margin only (Newcastle W2 L4). So the Winning Margin market is somewhere you might want to look for this game. Wolves were slumping badly with one point from a possible 18. Out of the blue they overturned a 1-0 halftime deficit at home against Chelsea in midweek to get three points. That’s the best possible way to put some wind in your sails. Can Wolves build momentum now on the back of that result as they go as 8/5 favourites at St James Park?

Moenchengladbach v Stuttgart
Bundesliga – 5.00 pm
BT Sport

I’m taking the jump over the Bundesliga for a look at the Best Bets of the Day for Sunday. It is actually another look at Monchengladbach who I brought to light recently. That was ahead of their high-profile show against RB Leipzig (which Moenchengladbach lost). So it’s that defeat which makes this interesting. Moenchengladbach has won six out of six home games this season in the German top-flight. They have scored 18 goals and have conceded 3 only at home. Reading that, it’s no shock that they are odds-on for this home fixture against the struggling Stuttgart.

But will the 1/2 odds on at leading bookmakers appeal to punters? Stuttgart is deeply troubled and has been all season with just a W3 D2 L8 record. But the rub of that is that they have won two of their last three games. Granted they were against Nuremberg and Augsburg, the two sides directly above them in the bottom five, but it’s positives. Positives can lead to more self-belief, more confidence and that in turn can lead to potential upsets. You know Moenchengladbach’s winning streak isn’t going to go on forever on home soil. It is the kind of situation where giving the underdog a good Asian Handicap can offer up some strong variety in betting options.

Racing 92 v Leicester
European Championship Cup – 3.15 pm
BT Sport

Another look at some of the European Champions Cup action. What we have lined up here is something of an important one for the Tigers. French side Racing 92 are already four points clear of Leicester at the top of the table. So they are in a commanding position. They may end up being untouchable as the Pool 4 leaders if they were to win this one. After two rounds of European Champions Cup action, Racing 92 have a bigger points difference (+33) of all teams in action. Racing 92 edged the Scarlets by a point in their opening game before thumping Ulster on home soil, picking up a winning bonus point too.

Leicester meanwhile had a rough opening in a 24-10 reverse out at Ulster. They then got themselves up and running with a fantastic big win at Welford Road against the Scarlets. The Tigers got a bonus point against the Welsh club as well. So now this is a huge top-two showdown in the Pool on Sunday. This is Leicester’s chance to make a move on the French side. Because they are out on the road, it is Leicester who are the underdogs for the big showdown. But they will be looking for a way to stick close to their opponents and the handicap market is always worth digging around in for these top rugby showdowns.

John Durkan Chase
Horse Racing – 2.00 pm
Sky Sports

The John Durkan on Sunday was given a massive boost as Cheltenham Gold Cup 2019 favourite Presenting Percy has taken an entry. This will be his seasonal debut when he lines up in the Grade 1 race at Punchestown. Presenting Percy loves a bit of Cheltenham Festival action having won his second race there this year with a victory in the RSA Novices. The seven-year-old is targeting bigger things as he goes in the Gold Cup early next year.

So this is a chance to see where he is at in this Punchestown outing, where he is one of 19 early entries. Min, who is trained by Willie Mullins will now have a very interesting match up in this one with Presenting Percy in opposition. Mullins has landed three of the last five winners of the race. Min was last seen at Punchestown back in April where he lacked a finish three from home. Min is no mug with back to back second-place finishes at the Cheltenham Festival. The first was in the Supreme Novices and then the Queen Mother (both to Altior). He’ll be priming himself for another assault on the Festival in March and like Presenting Percy, this is a good opening test for the season.
