Our team pick out their best bets for today's sport and we highlight the best-backed selections at our betting partners, Sky Bet.
Sky Bet's popular punts
RACING: Groundunderrepair to win 2.45 Warwick
Warren Greatrex's hopeful won a maiden hurdle at Lingfield back in January but has since gone handicapping. A recent run suggested improvement and punters have latched onto that. 4/1 this morning, the horse is into 5/2.
FOOTBALL: Bayern Munich, Manchester United. Paris Saint-Germain, Sporting Lisbon, Barcelona & Middlesbrough
These are the six most popular teams with Sky Bet punters today - the six-fold acca pays around 15/1. Bayern lead the way - they are 1/4 to beat Anderlecht in Brussels. United (away to Basel), PSG (home to Celtic), Sporting (home to Olympiakos) and Boro (home to Birmingham) are also odds-on. Barcelona are the only team of the six at odds-against - they are 7/5 to win away to last season's Champions League runners-up Juventus.
Sporting Life's best bets
RACING: Lord George to win the 7.10 Kempton
"Trainer James Fanshawe reaches for the tongue-tie which might be a bit disconcerting, but if it helps him rediscover the sort of form that saw him run so well at Newcastle he has to have a major chance in a weaker race like this one." (Ben Linfoot)
HORSE RACING: Cornerstone Lad to win the 12.25 Hexham
"This Micky Hammond-trained three-year-old has been progressing nicely on the level and has shown he relishes a test of stamina, particularly when staying on strongly to score over a mile and a half on soft ground at the stiff Pontefract. With the weight he receives and the latent ability he possesses, and conditions at Hexham seemingly certain to suit, it's worth chancing his jumping ability." (Murt Khan)
RACING: Khafoo Shememi to win the 6.40 Kempton
"His only visit to this track ended in a comfortable three-and-a-half-length success over this distance. This three-year has since won a couple of times at this level, both at Sandown and although he’s penalised for this, he might not be done improving and has conditions to suit here." (Jamie Maynard)
FOOTBALL: Manchester United to beat Basel to nil
"Basel ended a three-match spell without a victory by beating FC Sion 5-1 at the weekend having trailed at half-time but I seriously doubt they are going to trouble the visitors to St. Jakob-Park and a sort of stats-based, trends-type wager appeals to me as the best bet." (David John)
CRICKET: Josh Hazlewood top Australia bowler (1st inns)
" He’s got a better record than Starc at the Gabba – albeit not by much – and the rain that offers hope to England with the ball should also play right into Hazlewood’s hands." (Dave Tickner)
GOLF: David Lipsky to win the Hong Kong Open
"Lipsky finished fifth and 24th in the two events held in China during the spring, further underlining his comfort levels in the Far East (his mother is Korean), and he looks a knocking each-way bet at 66/1 generally." (Ben Coley)
GREYHOUNDS: Sawpit Sunshine (T1) to win the 8.36 Swindon
"Sawpit Sunshine (T1) can gain compensation for a big run in defeat a week ago by landing the 685m contest at 8.36. Dave Hunt's dog led until the dying strides when second over this trip in 41.98 (+15), a repeat of that effort may suffice in this company and he has a good chance to steal a march again with a nice make-up on the rails inside a slow starter." (Chris Oliver)
