Top Football Tips

THE end of the season is in sight but plenty of issues  are still to be settled today in the UK and on the Continent.

Much of the focus will be on the FA Cup Final between Man City and Watford and I've posted a separate English preview here. Kevinmac has also posted a City vs Watford match preview.

Before that Hamilton and St Mirren are fighting to avoid a play-off to stay in the Scottish Premiership while in Europe there are some big matches on the final day of the Bundesliga and La Liga. I've posted a Scottish preview covering Saturday's bottom-six games and more briefly touching on Sunday's top-six matches.

Bayern Munich have made hard work of getting over the line in the title race but just need a draw at home to Eintracht Frankfurt to freeze out Borussia Dortmund at the top.

Eintracht, Borussia M'Gladbach and Bayer Leverkusen are chasing the final CL place but I'm backing Bayern to be celebrating in front of a huge crowd. They are no value to 2-7 so let's try Bayern and both to score at 23-20 with McBookie.

Gladbach and Bayer sit on 55 points, one ahead of Eintracht, so it's really tight. Dortmund visit Gladbach hoping for a slip-up by Bayern and best bet here should be both to score but bookies are giving nothing away with a quote of 1-3.

Bayer travel to Hertha Berlin and victory should give them fourth spot. Hertha have nothing to play for and Bayer are a best 1-2 – an insult of price. It would be easier finding ice in the desert than finding value so let's again go Bayer and both to score at 13-10 with BetVictor.

In Spain Valencia will take the fourth CL spot ahead of Getafe with victory at Valladolid. Getafe should beat Villarreal at home and hope for a Valencia slip-up. At the other end Celta Vigo will stay up with victory at home to relegated Vallecano.

Last night my double was a loser but well done to kevinmac with a full house of correct tips from the Dundee United v Inverness match at prices of 2-1, 5-4 and evens. Scott Allot's members bet from Belgium also landed and well done to all the other winners.

      Watford can’t defend mr f,i can see Deeney causing City problems and i reckon he will net one,Deulofeu will also be dangerous,goals is the way to go here and i also think Watford’s over exuberance could lead to a red card in the game.

      Been mad busy so haven’t been on for a while but was a cracker of a season and brilliant title race. Antepost came in with City winning and Liverpool runner up. Had Chelsea to miss the top 4 which lost, but really should have come in had Arsenal not wilted. Auba sharing the Golden Boot as well.

      Season was full of drama & quality, not as good as Arsenal’s win at Liverpool 30 years ago but it’s up there. Well done to City-the best team won it! Gotta feel for Liverpool with only 1 defeat all season in the league which is mighty good! Very unlucky but they had a huge gap over City around December…..the game in January was ultimately the difference. City just have that championship mentality and ruthlessness. Another ‘next year’ season but they’ve played some excellent football and deserve a trophy. Klopp has a horrendous record in finals but they’re rightfully favourites for the Champs League!

      Hoping the Gunners can pull off the Europa League win. On our day we’ll beat anyone but, either way, defense needs sorting as always, & tons of players need to be offloaded. Emery has done a great job with what he’s got & a trophy would be a huge achievement! Reckon we’ll be alright next season as we’ve got the best attack around & just need that stability at the back.

      Be back with Cricket World Cup tips before it kicks off in a few weeks.

    Afternoon gents,

    FJÖLNIR VS. MAGNI (17.00KO):

    This one hails from Iceland’s 2nd tier ‘Deild One’ and it features the Urvalsdeild’s shock relegation side Fjolnir – a team who I’d be very surprised don’t bounce straight back up whilst monstering a few sides in the process!

    Magni are already finding it tough with 3-1 and 4-1 losses thus far seeing them rooted to the foot of the table – factor in that the 4-1 defeat was to Leiknir who were themselves thumped
    4-1 by Fjolnir just 4 weeks ago and the travelling side may just find themselves up Sh*t Creek.

    Two selections to consider:

    OVER 3.5 GOALS

    OVER 4.5 GOALS

    The Night Owl sees me in Paraguay with table-topping hosts Olimpia hosting a side in Guarani who are no mugs…

    OLIMPIA VS. CLUB GUARANÍ (2200KO):

    Olimpia ought to be nailing the 3 points here but I’m not sure they’ll have it all their own way – it’s been a long while since Guarani failed to score a domestic goal on the road and with the last 3 H2Hs finishing 1-5, 2-2 and 4-1 within the last 6 months, I sense it could be a cracker:

    Two selections to consider:

    Guarani goal before 54:00
    (5/6, bet365)

    Over 3.5 match goals
    (1/1, bet365)
