It was three out of four for the British clubs on Thursday night as all but Leicester City joined Spurs in the Europa League draw which takes place at lunchtime on Friday.
Arsenal did it the hard way, coming from behind to qualify 4-3 against Benfica. Rangers impressed once more with another goalfest at Ibrox to progress 9-5 on aggregate at the expense of Antwerp. Man Utd coasted through with a 0-0 draw to win 4-0 on aggregate but Leicester were turned over on their own patch by Slavia Prague
With no seeding or country protection we should see a few cracking ties come out the bag.
Friday's Tips
On Friday The Brian Clough Trophy is at stake as well as three Championship points when Derby County host Nottingham Forest at Pride Park. Forest are the current holders and are unbeaten in seven in this fixture. But Derby have been in good winning form under Wayne Rooney, especially at home where they've won their last four.
Chris Hughton is doing a solid job at Forest too, especially against teams in and around them which has helped them get out of trouble. They've W9 D4 L2 this season against teams currently in the bottom-half. Five of the last 10 meetings have been drawn and a share of the spoils could suit both sides.
Hearts have another Friday night appointment in front of the BBC Scotland cameras. They've been far from impressive in recent weeks and won't relish a trip up to Inverness, although the home side haven't won any of their last four at home and will be missing gaffer John Robertson who is taking some time out for compassionate leave. It's likely to be another low-scoring tight affair.
In Germany Eintracht Frankfurt visit Werder Bremen live on BT Sport 2. The Eagles are the form team in the Bundesliga and haven't been beaten in the league since mid-December (W9 D2). They were deserved winners against Bayern Munich last weekend and look good value at 3/4 to win in Bremen where the home side have won just twice this season at the Weser Stadium.
The hosts have kept just four clean sheets and shipped four goals last week at Hoffenheim while Frankfurt have score two or more in their last 11 Bundesliga matches.
Jamie Kennedy includes Frankfurt in his Acca for Friday night too. It's a five-fold acca that pays 7/1.

4 draws in the PL in game week 26 – 7/1
Werder Bremen vs Eintracht Frankfurt
Bundesliga 🇩🇪
Friday 26th February, 19:30 ⏰
Bremen have only won 2 of their 10 Bundesliga home games losing 4.
Bremen have lost 2 and drew 1 at home to sides in the top half.
Bremen have conceded 2+ in all 4 of their defeats at home.
Frankfurt are the Bundesliga’s form side winning 9 and drawing 1 of their last 10 games.
Frankfurt have won 5 out of 7 away to sides in the bottom half.
Frankfurt have scored 2+ in 8 of their 11 away game including all 5 of their victories.
Unsurprisingly I’m keen on a Frankfurt win tonight and I know I won’t be the only one. Frankfurt are on an incredible run of form right now including a 2-1 victory over champions Bayern Munich last week. Bremen however, got hammered 4-0 away to hoffenheim last time out and haven’t got a great home record. Therefore, I’m on a Frankfurt win and for them to grab a couple of goals.

NAP will be from the al sadd-al duhail cup final at 1345 uk time, get it up later when more markets are available
nb now 6/4 bet 365
Any thoughts on the Oz game sean
Yeah mate fancy goals, at both ends but al sadd to prevail. Wouldn’t put anyone off backing any of Al sadd to win btts, al sadd win/o2.5mgs and btts/o2.5 and 3.5mgs, just no markets available last night when I checked.
Sorry mate half sleeping I read that as the Qatar game. Can’t make my mind up about oz yet, couple of weeks ago idve said fire the mortgage on btts/over 2.5, all 5 Perth games have seen it with 3 going over 3.5 too but 3 blanks in a row for Brisbane doesn’t inspire me with confidence, plus Perth have had a 3 week break and they will absolutely have been working on their defending in that time. Think this will be one I’ll take a back seat on and kick myself when the goals fly in 😂😂
De Graafschap v AZ Reserves
Over 3.5 goals at 5/6*****(NAP)
Over 4.5 goals at 2/1
Best of luck

De Graafschap Over 3.5 goals at 5/6
8.17/1 Longshot
Please what is the meaning of 5/6 am new
5/6 is the odds for the bet. If you put say £6 on you would win £5 returning £11.
10.00 Perth Glory v Brisbane Roar
Checking previous games H2H for Goals/corners/cards, will be going
with the following bets from Skybet…
Over 1.5 Goals, Over 8.5 Corners, Over 25 Booking Points @ 6/5
…and longershot
Over 2.5 Goals, Over 10.5 Corners, Over 35 Booking Points @ 4/1
GL with any bets
Also adding
4+ Corners and 10+BP each team @ 5/4 (Skybet)
Louis 5/6 means if you put £6 you win £5 and of course you always get your stake back if you win. The way I used to remember it was that to win the first amount(number) I have to gamble the second amount(number).
By the way the word Evens means 1/1
All morning bets down.
always divide the 1st number into the second number and multiply that by your stake

Fornaroli to score first @ 15/4
Penalty bets – score / miss @ 9/2 & 18/1 respectively
All with Bet365
Fornaroli scores the 2nd for a winner @ evens to cover the others ✅
How the ref does not give a penalty in the first half is beyond me!? VAR even showed the foul!
Sterling is Skybet EVENS boost for shot on target, I’ll be waiting till he’s definitely starting before placing it
3 corners away from 9+ corners acca in Serie A last night, 3 game finished on 8 corners….& 3 goals away from 2+gls acca with Internacional the only goal less draw in the 10 games. Close but nice cigar, Internacional lost league by 1 point as the top 2 both failed to win, Internacional had couple goals chopped off, one in 96 mins by VAR
Regensburg – Paderborn over 2,5 math goals odds 1,80
match goals
Very good draw for Rangers,Slavia Prague
Not a given. If they have shut Leicester out for 2 games.
Not a given but with Gerrard as manager he knows European football inside out and won’t be as clueless as Rodgers was with Leicester.
5 to 6 is the odds Louis
Still not many markets available for Qatar cup final, more will be available “inplay” in the 15mins before ko especially with bet 365 but there’s no guarantee I won’t be busy at the time so I’ve dug these out using coral and skybet.

Good evening
Lovely to see how it really is different this time. Even the site picking up my side ^^
Due to a touch of superstition I couldn’t post before the bayern game last week but we were 150 for the title now we’re down to 80 (@tipico germany). With Bayern and Leipzig still on international duty… Just sayin’ ;)
But back to reality…
Eintracht Frankfurt to win & over 1,5tgs… Super Single could be my NAP. I just can’t see it not happening.
With André Silva returning to full throttle training, Sow back after 5 yellows, Younes getting better each game.
Also, because too big to ignore.
Some small interest on:
2:0 HC Frankfurt WIN pays 5.50 (@tipico germany)
Should max. be around 3.80 imo
Best of luck with your bets!
What’s HC?
Handicap I believe meaning Frankfurt start the game down by 2
I never do any team -2 .Too much but have done it on Asian H,cap.
I am very sorry. It happened again.
I am assuming Werder Bremen have a 2-0 lead.
Sorry, just read that. Sadly, that’s exactly what it meant.
2 games I like for goals tonight:
Swiss Challenge league: Aarau vs Winterhur 19.00
Last 5 H2H’s have gone btts and over 3.5 goals, 4 of those played in 2020.
Aarau 5 of last 7 home games btts and o2.5 and scored in 6 of last 7 home games
Winterhur have scored in 5 of last 6 away games
BTTS and o2.5 bet365 10/11
Austria ligue 2: Linz vs Klagenfurt 19.25
Last 3 H2H’s btts and o2.5 goals, 2 played in 2020.

Saturday morning A league tips
2 matches tomorrow in oz, first up sees western Sydney wanderers take on Adelaide. Contrasting form for these 2, wsw are unbeaten in 8, while Adelaide have lost 4 of their last 6, and have conceded 12 goals in their last 3 away games. Bookies make the home men favourites and I’d have to agree and if you believe in following trends then those last 8 games for WSW read WDWDWDWD- surely a W must be next. Despite the obvious differences in form theres probably not actually much between these 2 and I fancy another hard fought game which leads me to 1 thing- cards. Although neither are particularly dirty teams they both have a player inside the top 10 for cards shown this season, graham do trans and joe calletti and they will be in direct opposition to each other. Wouldn’t be a surprise to see either or both find their way into the refs book. Alongside this info is the no of cards these sides have received, wsw have 17 in 8 games, Adelaide its 15 in 8 so both are around the 2 per game mark and that’ll do me if they keep that going.
For the 2nd match where Melbourne victory take on western United I’m inclined to wait for team news. When I saw the victory starting line up midweek I thought they looked like they were finally getting towards putting their first choice XI on the pitch, only the full backs were missing and then they had to make 3 subs by half time 2 of which were central defenders so they could have possibly their entire first choice back 4 missing tomorrow and it’s because of this I’ll be waiting on the line ups. The other injury was to Marco rojas, a major creative player for them and if he’s missing plus their defence then it will dramatically alter their chances.
Advised tips
Wsw v Adelaide
Wsw double chance
Wsw over 0.5 cards
Adelaide over 1.5 cards
23/20 bet 365
Over 0.5 fh cards
Over 1.5sh cards
5/6 hills
Each team 20+ bp
6/4 bet 365 (using betbuilder at hills it’s 13/10 on #your odds it’s only 5/4- skybet are only evens)
As with most of my tips if you don’t want to follow all these are ranked in order of my preference.
Melbourne victory v western United
Advised tip- wait for team news. If victory are close to full strength then I fancy them to get something out this game despite their lowly position and gestede to get on the scoresheet.

Penerol are a bit more careful in defending so hoping Liverpool drag them into a shootout.
