THE Everton v Liverpool game didn't live up to its billing and it's amazing how many times that happens on the Monday night Premier League game.
Liverpool netted late to win the points but I needed both to score to complete a treble. I also tipped a draw so I was robbed at the end and a red card and there should have been one.
I didn't have any other bets on a day where Johnb grabbed the headlines with a fantastic 94-1 treble and I pass on my congratulations to him.
There's plenty to look at on Tuesday and I've posted a separate preview on Celtic v Partick Thistle and elsewhere there are four games in the Bundesliga where it's beginning to look a straight fight between Bayern Munich and shocktroops RB Leipzig for the title. Those two meet on Wednesday.
Borussia Dortmund are well off the pace and will need to go on a run of wins to have a chance of getting back in the mix. Dortmund are just 2-7 at Paddy Power to beat Augsburg tonight and consider them to win to nil against a side that's netted just twice in five games.
Five favourites are at home in Spanish Cup second-leg ties so team news for these will be vital. Guijelo 0, Atletico Madrid 6; Toledo 0, Villarreal 3; Huesca 2, Las Palmas 2; Valldolid 1, Real Sociedad 3 and Cordoba 2, Malaga 0 were the first-leg results.
There are a couple of matches to look at in Scotland and England and I'm starting my Top Treble with Peterborough at home to Notts County in their FA Cup replay at home to Notts County.
Peterborough are going well in League One while County have lost six in a row in League Two but came back from 2-0 down to earn a replay.
Crucially though the winner faces a lucrative trip to Chelsea and Peterborough boss Grant McCann is likely to field an unchanged team as he chases that big prize.
Add Borussia Dortmund, unbeaten in 28 matches at home, to beat Augsburg in the Bundesliga and the riskiest part of the treble is Atalanta at home to Empoli in Serie A.
Atalanta have gone off the boil slightly with no wins in three but still sit sixth in the table and this is the perfect chane for them to get back on track against fourth-bottom Empoli.
My only other bet is a goals treble but I may add a Super Single later once team news is confirmed for the Celtic game and Spanish Cup ties.

Congrats John B ?
Snap with the draw and red card Mr F – really poor game overall though.
Two games tomorrow that look good for goals…have had a good look but can’t be mithered putting reasoning up:
BOSTON VS. CURZON ASHTON
ABERYSTWYTH VS. BANGOR
OVER 2.5 MGS DOUBLE…1.3/1
???
Best of luck ?
@hullshaker that’s 2 games I’ve just looked at but when I saw Bala away to airbus uk, I thought ” I wonder if hullshaker has noticed it “. Not a great price at around 1/2 but Bala have got some solid wins under their belt this season and airbus have been dreadful A shadow of their former self. It used to be TNS or Airbus for the welsh title , now its TNS and probably Bala. The state of the league kinda reminds me a bit of Celtics last few seasons when Rangers were not in it. They never had to spend much or improve much because they had the squad to win the title with no competition, so why bother spending. I seem to recall I pointed you towards Bala about 3 weeks back.
Evening nathan, totally agree re Airbus – used to be THE(or one of a couple of) Welsh sides that were dominant a few years ago.
Game looks good but wanted only 1 Welsh game to double up with Curzon and plumped for the other one.
Good luck.
4-2 to Bala, shame Celtic -1.5 a/h wasn’t covered, I’d of had a nice little treble and quad come in.
Unlucky with the Hoops’ goals pal
Another one worth a look tomorrow – Trinidad & Tobago Treble with each game licking off at 22.00…
DEFENCE FORCE VS. CLB SANDO
MORVANT VS. CENTRAL
PNT FORTIN VS. W CONNECTION
Each looks pretty sound for goals and will be on the following:
OVER 2.5 MGS TREBLE…2/1
?
*although they could be tasty games, I’m not sure how much ‘licking’ will take place ?
i think the late nights are getting to ya hull
Think you’re right Kelly ?…so what’s next for you on the challenge front?
maybe a few bets over next few days if anything stands out, not a lot happening with xmas coming, then its football madness from St Stephens day
Whatever you end up doing, I hope it brings a smile and a few €’s into the coffers…good luck Kelly
Where the last Trinidad game Hull Shaker ?? Can’t find it ???
Moss – it’s gone AWOL…nowt on Twitter usually until after games either so case of watch this space!
In-play double for anyone fancying a late punt…
ALL BOYS OVER 2.5 MGS
TIGRES OVER 0.5 MGS
Ought to be 1 in each with 35+ left ?
DOUBLE PAYS 1.2/1
???
Well, the All Boys game ended up with 4 goals but I reckon Tigres could be playing ’til the middle of next week and neither team would score…rubbish effort from me this evening and apologies if anyone had a go.
Worse derby have seen in years,fitness won that game imo everton looked knackered second half
im having a first half corner day seen as the goal wernt coming yesterday.
Like the look of over 4.5fh asian corners at celtic, sociedad and dortmund
celtic 1.75
sociedad 1.77
dortmund 1.90
in a treble also 10 pays out just short of 60.
good luck all
celtic let down for a single and the treble. sociedad and dortmund both delivered the goods
After an awful day.. We try again today, let’s see what may come up
Aberystwth, Stalybridge > 2.5 MGS 1.4/1
Also fancy Bala Town to find the net a couple of times against Airbus … no odds on 365 yet tho …

My first preview of the week comes from Germany as two of my all time favourite teams in the BTTS and over 2.5 goals market come head to head with unbeaten Hoffenheim welcoming Werder Bremen to town.
Here are my key facts (there are a few of them…) for this one.
19:00 Hoffenheim vs Werder Bremen
Prediction 2.2
Key Facts
* Hoffenheim have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 11 home league fixtures including 4 of their last 6
* Hoffenheim remain ubeaten and sit 3rd in the league with 6 wins and 9 draws so far
* Hoffenheim have scored in 14 of their last 15 home league fixtures
* Hoffenheim scored 2 or more in 10 of those 15 fixtures
* Hoffenheim have scored 2 or more goals in 5 of their last 6 home league fixtures
* Werder have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 6 away league fixtures
* Werder have seen BTTS in 19 of their 23 most recent league fixtures. 17 of those 19 also went over 2.5 goals
* Werder have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 10 away league fixtures
* Werders clean sheet in their last away league fixture (at Hertha) was only their 3rd in their previous 46 away league fixtures
* Werder are unbeaten in their previous 4 league fixtures, picking up 8 points in the process. They lost 8 of their previous 11 league fixtures
* Werder have scored in 28 of their last 34 away league fixtures in the past 2 years. More recently, they have scored in each of their last 6 on the road.
* Each of the last 12 (TWELVE) meetings between these two sides have seen BTTS. 9 of those 12 also went over 2.5 goals
* Werder are unbeaten in their last 11 meetings with Hoffenheim.
* Werder have scored at least 2 goals in their last 5 away meetings with Hoffenheim
* Each of the last 6 meetings between these two sides in Hoffenheim saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals
* 28 goals were scored in those 6 fixtures
Best Bets – BTTS @8/15
BTTS and over 2.5 goals @4/5
Final Verdict
Historically this game has been a BTTS banker for 2 years now and given both sides current form, it is no surprise to see short odds on both of my favourite selections here.
Still, I expect the goals to flow and I will be making the BTTS and over 2.5 goals selection my NAP for Wednesday while a cheeky 2.2 draw is not out of the question with Hoffenheim loving a draw this season (9 out of 15) against a Werder side showing some signs of improvement in recent weeks (unbeaten in 4) and decent form on the road, including, you guessed it…a couple of 2.2 draws, most recently at Darmstadt and Hamburg.
Fancy both to score as well.

Just seen your post joe ?. Coral got 1 over on me ther ?
The Turkish cup has seen goals today!! With results as follows 2-3, 3-2, 0-4 and the other game sits at a modest 4-2 at half time!!
Boluspor vs Besiktas is the remaining game that kicks off at 5pm. Be cautious with this at it could easily be a low scorer!!
Boluspor are a good team to bet on and they can score and concede where as besiktas’ last 3 games have had 3 goals
Over 3.5 MGS 2/1
Over 4.5 MGS 9/2
Over 1.5 FHGS 13/8
Over 2.5 FHGS 6/1

Preview #2
19:45 Inter vs Lazio
Prediction 2.2
Key Facts
* Inter have seen BTTS in 6 out of 8 home fixtures this season and in 12 from 15 at the San Siro since April
* 10 of those 12 also went over 2.5 goals
* Inter have scored in each of their last 17 home league fixtures
* Inter have kept only 4 clean sheets in their 17 league fixtures this season
* Inter have scored 2 goals or more in each of their last 4 home league fixtures
* Lazio have seen BTTS in 7 of their last 10 away league fixtures
* 5 of those 7 games also went over 2.5 goals
* Lazio have scored in 9 of their last 10 away league fixtures
* Lazio have kept only 3 clean sheets in their last 15 away league fixtures
* Lazio have kept only 4 clean sheets in their 17 league fixtures this season
* 4 of the last 5 meetings between these two sides have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals
* Each of the last 6 meetings between these two sides at the San Siro have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals
* 9 of the last 12 meetings between these two sides have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals
Final Verdict
Neither side are particuarly adept at keeping clean sheets and when these two sides meet, goals are usually on offer and I expect a similar outcome here with 7th placed Inter hosting 3rd placed Lazio.
Inter have scored in all but 1 home league fixture in the past 14 months and with Lazio in good form, I expect goals at both ends.
9 of the last 12 meetings have seen BTTS with all 9 of those games going over 2.5 goals and that’s my best selection here.
Best Bets
BTTS and over 2.5 goals @ 10/11
Test
here’s my final preview for Wednesday.
19:00 FC Cologne vs Bayer Leverkusen
Prediction – 2.1
Key Facts
* Leverkusen have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 9 away league fixtures
* 14 of their last 19 Bundesliga matches have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals
* Leverkusen have scored in each of their last 19 away league fixtures
* Leverkusen have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 7 league fixtures
* Leverkusen are in a poor run of form, losing 5 of their last 9 league fixtures
* Leverkusen have lost 5 of their last 8 away league fixtures
* Leverkusen have conceded 2 goals or more in 7 of their last 9 away league fixtures
* Leverkusen have conceded 16 goals in their last 9 league fixtures
* Koln are unbeaten in their last 9 home league fixtures
* Koln have scored in 7 of their last 9 home league fixtures
* Koln have lost only 3 of their last 20 league fixtures since April
Final Verdict
It;s a derby match and while Koln are not particularly strong in my goals markets, visitors Leverkusen are and I expect the contrasting styles of these two sides to produce an entertaining and hotly contested local encounter.
I’m backing BTTS @3/4 with a strong level of confidence while the 5/4 on BTTS and over 2.5 goals does tempt with Leverkusen so consistent in these markets lately and so damn leaky at the back.
The visitors are struggling for form and I fancy they could be taken down by the hosts with BTTS @3/4 the main pick from this one.
Best Bets
BTTS @3/4
BTTS and over 2.5 goals @5/4

As For the Aberdeen game. -a crazy score of 9-1, even more surprising was it was Motherwell who dished out the hammering! Aberdeen will blame the wind or the rain or the fact it was played on grass!
Been looking at Peterborough all day and everywhere I look has them to win comfortably and thinking of lumping on, worth it guys?
Have you read my post?
I have Mr F! Will be deciding shortly but will probably go for it, cheers :)
Great start by Peterborough anyway.
Anyone on the members bet – have a bad feeling about Hamburg so after Dortmund and M’gladbach goals I’ve covered the bet – 3.5pts on Hamburg not to score.
And that was the wrong call! I don’t mind though – and I assume most people on it would have let it run and of course still need a Dortmund goal.
Great stuff ??
I thought Jordan Hendersons post match comments last night were a credit to him and he certainly set an example to managers how he conducted himself. Fair play to him.

celtic not burying a 2nd goal sung my treble and quad. brackley won 1 nil, Peterborough 2 nil, Bala beat airbus 4-2.
Late goal from Atalanta brings up a 5/1 in play treble too!!
6 more Turkish cup games tomorrow so I’ll be on some of those for goals hoping they folllow today’s trend
Night Owl:
Two midnight kick-offs – both in Trinidad &Tobago – but only one that interests me…
POLICE VS. ST. ANN’S RANGERS (00.00 KO):
7th plays 8th here and I’m hoping that neither team come quietly!
Police had a disastrous October but have at least picked up points in more recent games with a few wins under their belt during this period.
St Anne’s are without a win in 7 and have lost 6 and drawn just one in that spell whilst conceding a shit-load of goals.
In fact, both teams have seen some serious goals this season and that’s exactly what I’m on the hunt for tonight…
Recent match goals for both sides are as follows:
Police: 4-8-4-2-3-5-3-5-2-4-4-6
St Anne’s: 2-2-4-5-2-6-4-4-2-3
Three selections to consider:
OVER 3.5 MGS…5/6
?????
OVER 4.5 MGS…15/8
???
POLICE WIN AND BTTS…6/4
???
Best of luck ?
I’m gonna wait and hope there isn’t an early goal!!
Sithee over in San Fernando nate!

Haha let’s go
If you don’t mind me asking, where does the name nate pesh come from?
Haha my names Nathan but from young people called me nate and i put it together with pesh which is short for Pesci (joe Pesci) after his performance in goodfellas ??
You’re a funny guy nate…??✒✒
im on it@hullshaker?
Small stakes but see Over 1.5 FHGS is up to 7/4 with 10 gone…couple of dubloons on this ?
i did it 5/4 from start after reading your preview?
Got on over 2.5 MGS @ EVENS
1 short for the in-play 1st half quota…hoping for more action in the second 45 ?
Like pulling teeth waitn on goals here
Not looking great Jim ?
Wot I nvr noticed hull bcos I nvr checked is still Anne’s havnt evn scored in last 2 games and these 2 hav played twice in last 7 months and only managed 3 goals between them.
H2hs didn’t concern me to much as league goals around the time hadn’t taken off in general as they since have in T&T games in general.
St Annes got one in the end ironically but 1-1 means a big fat lost.
Apologies to anyone on.
Utter sh1te from me again tonite stenny failed to score an dortmund failed to get a second ………
