IT'S just eight days until top-class football returns with five 2.30pm kick-offs including Dortmund vs Schalke, RB Leizig vs Freiburg and Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia M'gladbach.
Until then we'll continue to have some fun with matches from Belarus and Friday sees the start of the South Korean League with Jeonbuk Motors at home to Suwon Bluewings.
I don't follow South Korean football but a little research has taught me Jeonbuk are the dominant force having won three titles in a row.
The league was meant to kick off in early March and both sides had played a couple of warm-ups – Jeonbuk lost 2-1 to Yokohama Marinos and drew 2-2 with Sydney.
Bluewings lost to Vissel Kobe and Malaysian outfit Johor so it's no surprise Jeonbuk, unbeaten in 13 league matches at home, are odds-on favourites at 7-10 with bet365 to start with three points.
There are two games in Belarus with leaders Slutsk first up against BGU followed by Gorodeya v FC Minsk.
Slutsk have been on fire and there looks only one winner against a side that's lost four out of five. They are, however, surprisingly big at 23-20 with William Hill.
Looking at the Gorodeya game and picking a winner is not easy but the previous four meetings have gone over 2.5 goals so consider that at 29-20 at betfair.
Greg's cards and corner stats are worth a look as always so check out this week's edition of the Gambla Betting Podcast.
And well done to all the winners and to everyone who has contributed in these tough times.
Bet to Consider
- Jeonbuk (11am)
- Slutsk (3pm)
- (27-10, bet365)
Last week I played the pools using lucky numbers – but they weren't that lucky.
I managed just three score draws but as it”s a lottery this is how I'm playing it until we have real football back.
Our fate lies in the hands of the Pools Panel and it's quite difficult trying to second guess them.
Perm eight from 10 at low stakes. You can bet online before 1.54pm on Saturday.

The warm up fixtures mr Fixit has mentioned in March were AFC Champions league games and jeonbuk managed 3 red cards in those 2 games. The 2 H2h last season at jeonbuk saw a red apiece in one game and 8 yellows in the other so it looks as if these 2 (especially the home side) like a card.
50+ bp might be worth a look at 10/11 skybet.
Other bets to consider are a goal in both halves at 4/5, and Adam taggart to score anytime at 21/10, both at skybet. He was the top scorer in the league last season with 20 and 15 of those came away from home. He was an A league regular for a few years and certainly knows where the net is. Small stakes for me, I’d advise the same, it’s the first gameweek and my knowledge isn’t the same as what it is for other leagues.
My bets
50+bp 10/11 (1.5pt)
Goal in bh 4/5 (1pt)
Adam Taggart anytime 21/10 (0.5pt)
All priced at skybet
William Hill are offering Over 45 Booking Points at a better 11/10. If I’ve looked at it right cards are counted the same way as at Sky –
William Hill Booking Points
1 x Yellow Card = 10 Points.
1 x Red Card = 25 Points.
2 x Yellow Cards for the same player resulting in a Red Card = 35 Points.
cheers grant, must admit I didn’t shop around for best price this morning as I was just highlighting my bets rather than it being actual tips, and used skybet just because I have money in that account.
Cheers Sean.

Hb torshavn v streymur.
Torshavn finished 4th and boast Good home form and should comfortably win.
Streymur generally struggle away from home.
Saying this Torshavn conceded 15 in 14 homes.
And streymur scored 15 goals in 14 aways.
Last 2 head to head last season.
Streymur 1 Torshavn 0.
Torshavn 6 Streymur 4.
Streymur have also scored in 13 of last 17 visits here spanning 10 years.
Generally on matchday 1 in leagues top teams tend concede more in the first few games until they get in the groove.
The price error if having a bet is.
BTTS EVENS
STREYMUR TO SCORE A GOAL 5-4
best Btts I can see elsewhere 10-11.
Skybet often make this same error in pricing and I always look at their prices 3 or 4 days in advance before they correct these mistakes 😀

South Korean match live on BBC iplayer
🇧🇾Slutsk vs Energetik 🇧🇾
🗓Match day 8 – KO 3pm
Early surprise package Slutsk have an opportunity to maintain their lead at the top of the league and looking at this, both sides absolutely love a booking.
Slutsk have collected 25 🟨 3🟥 which is incredible after just 7 rounds of matches. They are averaging 4.4 team cards per game and with an average of 7 match cards there shouldn’t be a shortage of cards here.
Energetic are no Boy Scouts either with 21 🟨 2🟥 (avg 3.6 team cards per game)
The bookies aren’t daft though have sucked a lot of the value away. Slutsk are a best 4/6 for 30+ booking points whilst the visitors are no better than 1/2 .
I like the look of Energetic corners in this one – they‘ve hit 5+ corners in 5 of their 7 games ( avg 5.4 team corners per game) (7/3/5/6/6/2/9) and they are worth taking in to hit 5+ again today against a side who despite being top, concede plenty of corners.
Recommended Bets:
🔸Energetic 5+ corners
🔹11/10 (Skybet)
🔸60+ booking points
🔹1/1 ( Skybet)

Korea game 0-0- there’s a surprise.
Which bookie is doing the Faroes match btts- I can’t find the damn thing.
Elvis has quoted Sky Bet.
The quality of This korean game is very poor to say the least
At least we’ve got a goal and I’ll take 1-0.
As you say quality isn’t great but that’s to be expected.
Red card in Korea. Well done craneguy
Will try one last shot Jeonbuk RT9 corners 9/2 & that’s me following Gregs stance on the Koreans 😂
Pish
Nope- still can’t find the Faroes match. It’s on 365 but no btts market. Is this one of these things likely to show up 5 seconds before kick-off? Anyone know…..
Have you checked with Sky Bet who were quoted.
Bolinas the Faroes game is definitely there on Skybet.
Found it at last thanks- it might have been hiding from my tenner.
Don’t take btts bolinas.
Streymur to score a goal is now the same price 10-11 as btts.
Makes no sense taking btts.
Maybe price is better elsewhere now, not looked to be honest.
Take it easy with stake though until form lines become apparent👍

Did anyone watch the Korean game ?.
I found it horrible viewing, not the game, but the surreal atmosphere, players voices echoing, canned chanting, no handshakes, and the deathly silence when the canned chanting at full time was eerie.
I watched the cologne game behind closed doors before lockdown and that was horrible viewing also.
If I’m honest I will find it hard to watch premiership games in these circumstances even if it’s my team playing. You know when you’re watching your team and they score a dramatic last minute winner and you leap off your sofa and scream and spill beer on your wife’s new rug 😀.
Can’t see this being the case in that sort of funereal atmosphere.
Football/sport is only what it is due to the crowd participation/atmosphere.
Imagine the fa cup final with no fans.
The Ryder cup with no USA USA USA chants.
Royal Ascot with no royal procession.
World snooker final with no one except the referee there.
Test matches without the barmy army chanting “everywhere we go, people want to know ” etc etc.
The tour re France with just the 50 odd lycra warriors taking part and no idiots running after them up the Alps.
It’s sport Jim, but not as we know it.
It’s like sport that has been ravaged by a battalion of energy vampires.
Personally I don’t think watching sports without spectators is going to lift the spirits of the nation.
well Unfortunately elite level sport is a business and sky want to make their millions back
Football without fans is nothing,but it will lift my spirits
well that’s slutusk finished
