THERE are two more Champions League ties tonight but Chelsea have little or no chance of joining Man City in the last eight.
The Blues start 3-0 down to Bayern Munich in Germany while the other tie is evenly balanced with Barcelona and Napoli drawing 1-1 in Italy.
I correctly predicted over 2.5 goals at Man City and Raheem Sterling to score first but Juventus couldn't find the third goal that would have knocked out Lyon.
I've picked out my Champions League tips and they are reasoned on a separate preview.
We have a new tipster on board in the shape of ex-Racing Post Scottish football tipster Mark Walker so check out his Premiership selections here.
It's a tough card in the Premiership with three games on Saturday – Hamilton vs Ross County, Livingston vs Hibs and Motherwell vs Dundee United. St Johnstone vs Aberdeen has been postponed after Dons players incurred the wrath of Nicola Sturgeon by breaking lockdown rules.
Three draws and three games under 2.5 or 3.5 goals wouldn't be a massive surprise but for a treble I'm on Hamilton and Hibs not to lose and Motherwell draw no bet.
Accies may have lost 5-1 at Celtic last week but boss Brian Rice admitted he saw positives and they had chances.
Hibs started with a win and can at least draw against a Livingston side who were pretty powderpuff as they went down 1-0 at St Mirren.
Motherwell lost 1-0 at Ross County and that was a big disappointment to a side that finished third last season. They missed a penalty and several clearcut chances before having a man sent off. Boss Stephen Robinson will have given them a rocket and I expect a reaction.
There are Champions League and Scottish Premiership match previews on the site from the usual suspects so check them out.
Bayern Munich vs Chelsea Match Preview & Predictions
Barcelona vs Napoli Match Preview & Predictions
Kilmarnock vs Celtic Match Preview & Predictions
And spare a thought for Scott Allot who put up detailed thoughts on St Johnstone vs Aberdeen before it was called off. At least he won't be wrong.
Well done to all the winners last night and enjoy having a punt on Saturday's games.

First up a trip to oz where Perth glory take on Melbourne victory. The glory know a win here guarantees them a play off spot and right now the victory are a shambles having lost 5 in a row for the first time in the clubs history with the most recent being a demoralising 3-2 defeat to the worst team in the league when they led 2-1 with 7 mins to go. Based on current form I can’t see anything other than A win for the boys from Perth with a few goals to boot. Captain fantastic Castro will still be out and there will be a doubt over right back franjic but other than that they have a full squad to choose from. I’ve watched the victory’s last 2 matches and other than broxham and rojas they have little about them at all. Simple win imo.
Advised tip
Perth win
Perth o1.5tgs
Perth o3.5 corners
6/5 bet 365 NAP
Next bet is from the spfl where livi take on hibs, and I’m looking at corners in this one. With the formations both sides are likely to use and the fast paced plastic pitch I fancy both to manage at least 4 apiece. First game back last week saw both hit 5, and the 3 meetings last season saw 16,10,15
Livi v hibs both teams 4+ corners each
10/11 skybet NB
As with most goals lovers I’m really taken with bodo/glimt, so final bets come from their match. The no of goals they’ve scored has been highlighted numerous times on here so I won’t go thru it all again but 2 I’m looking at for tomorrow are landing with alarming regularity. I said last week they remind me of al sadd of last season in that they score for fun but can’t keep a clean sheet for love nor money and I’ll be on them to win with btts. Another feature of their games this season has been fh goals. 7 of their last 8 have seen at least 2 fh goals with them scoring at least twice in 6 of those. Worth taking again today I feel.

Yesterday’s NAP from oz was a winner and thanks for the kind words on Thursday night from those who commented.
Your nap sir

Great to see Mark Walker join the team. Have read him in the racing post for years. Great knowledge of Scottish football. I have won a few pounds down the years following his tips. Like himself, I fancy Hibernian to get the win tomorrow.
He certainly knows his Scottish football and had a good following in the Racing Post.
Unfortunately like many others in the newspaper industry he’s been the victim of cutbacks but we’re lucky to have Mark on board.

Poor day so far let down by a missed penalty & red card.
Belarus – I like the look of 6+ corners for Rukh Brest @ 5/4 at home to Zhodino.
Rukh have had 9,9,7,2,5,6 from their last 6 homes while Zhodino have conceded 6,6,8,7,5,3 in their last 6 aways.
Both side could do with 3 pts ….it would keep Zodino in 4th place and if Neman lose in the earlier game the gap will close to 1pt while Rukh sit in 10th but only 4pts behind Zodino .
They are 9pts clear of Gorodeja who sit just above the relegation zone but play BATE after this so a win here would probably ease any danger of Rukh being dragged into a relegation mire.
I envisage an open game with both teams going for it which suits the bet well.
9 corners for Rukh….👍

Cannot see how Chelsea are going to stop Bayern tonight.Lampard has to totally change his side tonight maybe be a good thing.The defence is as leaky as a tattie sack with no leadership in for a torrid time me thinks.
Trying to remain optimistic but I think it’s going to be a humbling score.

Shock of the season downs the NAP today but the NB and the bodo bets more than back it up. Would’ve been nice if bodo held on for the win but can’t complain with the fh goals landing at good prices. Well done all with a winner.
