Results for Fri 17 July 2026

A quiet green Friday. Five of the nine landed outright, but at prices this short a card like this only pays a little when two of them miss, plus 0.29u on the day, and it was Bahia that made it green.

Bahia were the bet we leaned on hardest, the one true outlier on the board with a pair of books alone at 1.98 on the minus one line while the rest of the market sat around 1.61. They paid it back in full, seeing off Chapecoense two goals to nil to clear the handicap with a goal to spare. Close to a full unit from a single bet, and without it Friday reads red.

The two that stung were the kind you take on the chin. Charlotte Independence’s second string could not find a way past Appalachian and went down nil-two, a Draw No Bet that only ever needed a point it never threatened to take. Changchun Yatai were the sore one with one-five at home to Wuxi Wugou, a quarter-line favourite taken apart, and there is no soft landing on a night like that. The rest of the margins fell our way. Lionsbridge drew two-two inside the ninety before the tie slipped away in extra time, and a Draw No Bet is settled on the ninety, so that stake comes back whole. Nueva Chicago’s one-one returned half the stake and won the other half, the quarter line doing precisely the job it is there to do.

Temperley, Ferro Carril Oeste, Juventude and Atlético Ottawa saw to the rest were three clean South American favourites and a Canadian draw that the plus-a-half line turned into a winner. Five wins, a half, a push and two losses reads a shade better than plus 0.29u looks, but that is the arithmetic of short-priced favourites: the strike rate carries the book and the occasional Bahia stretches it. On Friday, it held.
