I DIDN'T have a bet on Wednesday and it felt pretty boring. On nights off there's nothing better than watching the footie with livescore or flashscore or whatever on your phone and waiting for goals to come in.

Most of the games were in the Spanish Cup and Northern Ireland Cup and I don't know enough about those leagues to put up tips without doing loads of research – and I'd rather spend my time looking at the weekend card.

One game caught my eye tonight and that's Sporting at second-tier Famalicao in the last 32 of the Portuguese Cup and on paper there is huge gulf between the teams. They've met twice with Sporting winning both games 3-0.

I don't know how strong a side Sporting will field but a possible bet is the Lisbon side to win with over 2.5 match goals. That pays 17-20 at sportingbet and I having read HullShaker's comments about the game I've decided to risk it as a Super Single. It would be better seeing line-ups but the stats say it should land.

I've got a single for Friday and a preview of the Inverness v Rangers game will be added tonight.

    Quick couple of words as kicks off sharpish and might just be worth a look…

    ATLÉTICO PARANÁ VS. SAN MARTÍN TUCUMÁN (12.30 KO):

    Tucuman sit rooted to the foot of the table after 5 games – 2 draws followed by 3 successive losses.

    Not sure they’ll be too much reprieve tonight either with Parana looking to add more points to the 8 a cumulated so far.

    With the away side conceding 2-3-2-1-2 goals so far, I reckon this one might be worth a nibble…well it is Parana after all…

    PARANA OVER 1.5 TGS…11/10

    One of my favourite leagues, the A-league is back and after watching the opening weekend I’m happy to start placing bets on it.

    Adelaide vs western Sydney

    Last week’s game with Adelaide didn’t exactly tick all the boxes in terms of goals and it’s not a surprise considering they lost two of there top goalscorers from last season and it was quite noticeable as the strike force hasn’t gelled yet and don’t really look like they know each others game. Sergi Gaurdiola looks like he could be a quality player, he has the typical Spanish technical ability and if he gets chances he will tuck away a few in this league but his teammates need to find him on the pitch, however they do have Henriquie Silva a player with A-league experience and he looked very lively last week and against a western Sydney side that shipped in 4 in its last two games one being in the FFC cup I can’t see them keeping a clean sheet this week.

    For this one I’m backing

    Adelaide to win evens
    Henriquie Atg 13/8
    Adelaide to score over 1.5 5/6

  13. radu 7 years ago

    Sriwijaya – Gresik – Sriwijaya to score in both halves @ 1.77
    Roskilde – Vejle – 2nd Half Rosilde to score 1 or 2 goals @ 1.80
    Pau – Sedan
    – Pau home in 1st Half (2w , 2d , 1l – 4-3)
    – Sedan away 1st Half (1w , 1d , 3l – 1-5)
    – Pau 1st Half scored at least 1 goal in last 3 home games
    – Sedan 1st Half conceded at least 1 goal in last 3/4 away games
    Bets :
    – 1st Half Pau to score @ 2.15 (NAP)
    – 1st Half Pau DNB @ 1.77 (NB)

  22. HullShaker 7 years ago

    Afternoon gents,

    Two games that like the look of tonight…

    FAMALICÃO VS. SPORTING CP (20.15 KO):

    First of my games has been covered by Mr F – hadn’t seen til just now and to add a bit to that write-up, Sporting have scored 3-2-4-1-1-3-2-1-2  team goals against far ‘superior’ sides than Famalicao.

    As mentioned, the home side sit a couple of divisions lower and have conceded 2-3-0-0-3-2-3-1-2-2 goals in their own most recent games.

    Two selections to consider:

    OVER 2.5 TGS…23/20
    OVER 3.5 TGS…3/1

    The second game sees a ‘short trip’ to Venezuela:

    DEPORTIVO LA GUAIRA VS. MONAGAS (22.00 KO):

    9th placed La Guaira host 3rd placed Monagas here and the away side can leapfrog Athletico Venezuela (a team they beat 1-2 away a few weeks back) into 2nd place.

    La Guaira love to concede a goal or two and have let in: 3-0-2-2-1-2 goals in their last 6 outings.

    Monagas lost their last game 2-0 but prior to that had won their last 4 scoring 2 or more goals in each.

    I was really fancying Monagas to take this one at huge odds but can’t ignore the H2H picture where La Guaira have won a massive 6 out of 7 played over the last 3 seasons – in fact, they scored either 3 or 4 goals in each of the last 3!

    2 selections to consider:

    BTTS…10/11
    OVER 2.5 MGS…19/20

    Best of luck with all bets ?

      Surely it’s not based on results.

      who knows, are the managers allowed to manage at chelsea?

      Rumours he was to be sacked but Chelsea have rubbished them. Doesn’t take many bets for odds to tumble in these markets.

    Night owl bet

    Risky one but I’m gonna take a punt on it

    Brazil Serie A

    Ponte Preta vs Vitoria 11.30pm

    Ponte Preta come into this sitting in 11th and with a reasonably strong home record of P14 W9 D2 L3 F24 A16
    Vitoria sit down in 11th with an away record of P14 W3 D4 L7 F16 A21

    The odds tonight reflect this with Ponte Preta being odds on favourites but it’s the recent form which has caught my eye. Ponte Preta come in on the back of a 3 match losing streak losing away to 7th and 13th and at home to 3rd scoring once and conceding 7 times. Given the strength of home sides in this league then this isn’t too surprising though 3rd placed Atletico Mineiro are by no means the strongest side away from home.

    Vitoria come into this match in decent form having taken 9 points from their last 6 (Ponte Preta have managed just 5) and they’ve won their last 2 against 17th and 10th. They beat 10th placed Chapecoense 4-1 away last time out which was a very good result given it was only their 3rd defeat in 15 at home.

    H2H is all a bit historic though Vitoria are unbeaten in their last 7 meetings and have won 3-0 twice and draw 0-0 in their last 3 trips to Ponte Preta

    Vitoria over 1.5tg @ 4.00
    Vitoria over 2.5tg @ 13.00 small stakes

    • richard 7 years ago

      Evening Crane – the Palmeiras bet must have a shout given form they’re in just now so price looks good but I’ve taken btts @ 1.80 – just couldn’t ignore H2H stat of this coming up in last 7 H2H and 14 of the last 15 H2H

  32. jim burnside 7 years ago

    Wot an absolute dross performance fr sporting here against a team divisions below them need 2 goals in 15 mins.hating this game.

    • richard 7 years ago

      I know MrF flagged it up but Sporting are definitely not playing a strong side tonight so was happy I walked away with a void bet in 1st half as I took over 1 on the goal line

    • Mr Fixit 7 years ago

      That’s why I should have left it too – as you say probably needed to see teams.

    • HullShaker 7 years ago

      Agreed, thst’s the problem with stats-based bets (as mine was) although to be fair, even factoring in a weakened team as I did, they still should have done much better.

  33. dc john boy 7 years ago

    Was thinking about a no bet day but think I have spotted a wee gem in Argentina Primera B

    • Mr Fixit 7 years ago

      Got to agree with Elvis – some days are no bet days.

  37. HullShaker 7 years ago

    Safe to say I’ve had better nights betting and not for the first time I’ll be looking for a shot at redemption with the Night Owls – over to Brasil for a couple of 23.30 KOs…

    PALMEIRAS VS. CRUZEIRO 

    Palmeiras are a consistent team and have scored 2+ goals readily over the course of the campaign – of note here, is their home scoring form and they have failed to net at least twice in only 1 of their last 5 home games.

    H2H’s are edged by Cruzeiro but the overwhelming denominator is both teams netting – this has been a green light in every single one of the last 7 stretching back over 3 seasons!

    BTTS pays 4/5 but I’m fairly confident that Palmeiras will get more than 1 so it would be foolish to stick at that.

    2 selections:

    PALMEIRAS OVER 1.5 TGS…4/5

    BTTS & OVER 2.5 MGS…13/10

    ———————————————-

    PONTE PRETA VS. VITÓRIA:

    Short and sweet here.

    The most recent H2H in June finished 1-1 and I think BTTS is the bet to be on here.

    Ponte Preta have scored at home in the majority of home games and in all of the last 5 whilst Vitoria are happy to net away from home and have done so in each of their last 5 away fixtures.

    1 selection:

    BTTS…4/5

    ———————————————-

    I’ll be on each selection as singles and also a BTTS double paying 2.24/1

    Good luck ?
