International matches mean a much-reduced domestic card this weekend but there's still plenty for us punters to get involved in.
Ireland‘s progress under Stephen Kenny will be given a stern examination this evening (5.00pm) by the world's highest ranked team, Belgium. Kenny went 13 games without a win when first installed as Irish boss but since then they've lost just once in their last 10 and that was thanks to a spectacular late double by Ronaldo for Portugal.
There's plenty of positivity around the squad but the only team of note they've played in that run is Portugal, with whom they also drew 0-0. Outside of that, wins against Luxembourg, Qatar, Azerbaijan and Andorra don't exactly have Europe sitting up and taking notice and they could fall short tonight.
There's no De Bruyne, Lukaku, Mertens or Eden Hazard for Belgium as Roberto Martinez takes the opportunity to hand some international experience to fringe players in his squad but there should still be plenty of quality on show from the Belgians and they look a good price at 21/20.
England welcome Switzerland to Wembley as Gareth Southgate seeks to fine-tune his squad for Qatar later in the year. The Three Lions qualified for the World Cup comfortably and are always a formidable proposition on home soil.
The Swiss topped Group C ahead of Italy to book their place in the World Cup finals but the Italian's shock exit at the hands of North Macedonia hasn't done much to enhance the form book. They qualified with the joint lowest goals tally (15, same as Spain) and were held to a 0-0 draw at Northern Ireland.
In front of a packed Wembley they might frustrate England but Southgate's men should prevail at 7/10.
In Scotland, Kilmarnock have been all the rage this week and have been tipped up elsewhere on the site by Mark Walker and KevMac.
They host Partick Thistle, who, having put themselves in a position to challenge for the title, have collapsed in recent weeks.
The opposite can be said for Killie who have won three on the bounce and enjoy a two-point lead over long-time leaders Arbroath. While everyone else in the league have been taking points off each other Derek McInnes' side have picked up 16 points from the last 18 to move in to pole position. Killie's odds are shortening all the time. They opened up around even money but are now just 3/4.
Annan have served us well in recent weeks and we can cash in again when they host Albion Rovers today. They've now won seven of their last eight and can take a step closer to securing second place with a win at 4/5 over Albion who have won only twice this year.
Plymouth have been flying in League One, winning six in a row without conceding to consolidate their play-off claims. They travel to Ipswich who are unbeaten in nine with four wins and five draws. The Tractor Boys aren't conceding many either, losing just two goals in their last 10 so it could be a tight one at Portman Road. Argyle look a lively outsider at 15/4 or 4/5 on the Double Chance market.

Without my usual favourites playing today, I’ve had to dig a bit deeper. Today I turn my focus to Kilmarnock. I’ve noticed a lot of admin have already mentioned them on here but I’ll put my reasoning on also.
🏴Kilmarnock vs Partick Thistle 🏴
🔘Bet: Kilmarnock 2+ goals: 6/5 (Bet365)
💰NAP 5pts ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🔘Bet: Kilmarnock win and 2+ Goals: 17/10 (bet365)
💰NB 3pts ⭐️⭐️⭐️
When I first saw the price on Killie I became suspicious thinking the bookies knew something I didn’t. But I’ve checked Killie squad news and there’s no Covid outbreak or injury crisis. The bookies just have it wrong I think. It’s way too generous.
Killie are in superb form, they’re really clicking into gear at the right time. Their big money squad is delivering at the business end of the season and I can’t see them slipping up at home today.
They’ve won 5 of their last league 6 games, scoring 2 in all 5 wins. They’ve also scored 2+ in their last 4 home games.
They play a Partick team in free fall. Partick have gone from potentially title pushing to whipping boys in recent games, conceding 10 in their last 3 games (1-4 v bottom of the league Dunfermline, 0-4 at home to off form Hamilton and 1-2 to Morton) and with Lafferty, Mackenzie and Shaw in their ranks and scoring goals, they look a strong selection to score 2+ goals again. Partick’s confidence must be shot to pieces and the last place you’d want to go is away to the league leaders.
I toyed with Killie for the win at 1/1 but With Partick’s leaky defence, I’ve gone for goals instead at a lovely odds against price. I wouldn’t put anyone off betting on the win (or even Killie win and score 2 goals at an extremely generous 17/10) but I’m happy to stick with Killie goals for the NAP.
I bet Killie at the start of the week at Evs and 11/4 HTFT now every man and there dog is tipping them this can only go 1 way now 0-0 🤣🤣🙈🙈
Deb – I hope not! I was on them early as well, hence the good price. In fact, I placed the bet when Partick were 3-1 down at HT to Dunfermline. We’ll see what happens. Good luck. 👍🏻
FootieMad – excuse my ignorance but you’ll have to fill in a few blanks for me.
What/who is DT? Is someone taking my tips from this site and writing them as their own in another site? 🥴
“DT” usually refers to a stumpy bald Irishman who steals other pundits tips & then sells them on to his gullible followers.
If you search this site for the phrase “Channeling My Inner Coleen Rooney”, you’ll see how Mr Fixit himself caught “DT” stealing and reselling Paul’s, Greg’s & Alan’s hard work for well over £20K IIRC.
ChrisBax – I’ve just typed it in to search and read the article – WOW! What a real eye opener. It’s all starting to make sense now why people were/are so suspicious over accounts they suspect to be him.
I’ve got nothing against people selling their own tips if they can make people profit but stealing others as their own from a free site is despicable.
Now I understand why craneguy used to go so hard at that SAMMY account. 😂👍🏻
Most here are day to day punters looking for opinions to formulate their own bets.
People who sell tips or pass tips from here on as their own have no place here.
If someone asked me for an opinion on a bet and offered me money for my thoughts I would be pretty offended to be honest.
(Because they would probably lose their stake 😂) and would feel guilty about selling duff goods.
Gambling is dangerous enough without discipline so why spoil a bit of punting fun by paying a 3rd party for advice.
If you need to pay for tips you are gambling for the wrong reasons.
Just my opinion, everyone will have their own take and reasons for gambling though.
There are enough knowledgeable punters here from different backgrounds and betting styles to bounce off without paying for tips.
I’m droning on aren’t I 😂.
Off to watch some tier 4 Welsh footy now, someone has to 🏴⚽
Good luck with your punts today peeps..
There;s a law coming soon that states anyone charging for tips have to have near a 100% strike record and i don’t think any paid tipster can match that.They will have to provide evidence and full accounting of monies gained from payed tips and if they are found not to be near their percentage then hefty fines and even prison sentences oh and also they will be taxed lol,the reason for this is the government are looking to stamp it out.
🚓🚓🚓🚓
It’s true though parsley,all twitter tipsters etc are going to be banned it was talked about in parliament last week,especially affiliate tipsters who a lot of people don’t realise that these kind of tipsters earn 30% for tipping tips that will lose there’s millions of them and the not so clever people follow these blind,they put up big fake wins to entice people.So you can stick ya taxi.
Looks like a polis car to me 😁😁
My bad i need glasses lol

ICT v Dunfermline 3pm
Dunfermline scored 4 lto and in their penultimate game laid siege to Mortons goal but could only manage a 1-1 draw.. so spirits must be high having climbed off the foot of the table and a win today could even see them move out of the relegation play off place.. they beat ICT away in November, so will fancy their chances again today.. going for these;
1+ Dunfermline goal and X2 19/20
2+ Dunfermline goals 9/4 (bet365)
1+ FH Dunfermline goal 31/20
2+ FH Dunfermline goal 10/1 (small stake)
3+ FH Dunfermline goal 66/1 (v small stakes)
All Ladbrokes bar 2+.. BOL
Hi,Arbroath v Raith
Arbroath are improving week by week especially at home ,expecting us to score at least 2goals today but main bet would be Arbroath corners 6+. 5/6. 7+ 6/4
Bit breezy here again so that usually contributes to the cause 👍 good luck today everyone
Who is that with Smiler ?
Chelseagirl this seems to be with SkyBet the odds are the same there
Good morning everyone. I have been a bit under the weather the last couple of days, so there’s only one bet for me today and with it being non league day that’s where I am going.
National League
Altrincham v Aldershot
Altrincham fell with a bit of a bump last week losing 2-0 at Southend to end a decent run. The team was freshened up for their midweek match at home to Chesterfiield and they got back to winning ways against arguably one of the strongest sides in the division.
Aldershot aren’t a happy outfit at the moment and although reading the forums I believe they are bringing 500-600 fans up to Greater Manchester which is a magnificent effort, I believe that Altrincham who rested their main striker in midweek will be too strong for them.
Just for added interest Duncan Ferguson’s son made his debut for Altrincham on Tuesday at centre half and by all accounts played well and should keep his place.
Altrincham to win was evens on bet365 this morning
both teams to score double
carlisle v bristol rovers
port vale v sutton
ladbrokes 3/1
NAP
One that may of slipped below people’s acca radar for today:
Dumbarton v Montrose 17/20 Sky Bet
Dumbarton have lost their last 6 games and sit 2nd bottom of Scottish L1.
The last time these met Montrose enjoyed 14 shots to 5 and 7 corners to nil in a 1 each draw dominated by Montrose.
Graham Webster for Montrose is in the form of his life netting 14 times in 26 games.
Friday: “Never bet on early kick-offs, teams with a first leg lead, Tottenham Hotspur or….international friendlies!”
Saturday: Headline Nap is Belgium… V Ireland in an international friendly 🤣🤣
Over 2.5mgs double @ 7/5 (bet365)
Beaconsfield vs Wimborne
Morpeth vs Ashton Utd
Kaapo u20 vs Poxyt u20
Over 4.5mgs @ 8/5 (bet365)
Good luck all 🤞
Slybet doing game of 2 halves promo on England game – bet £10 (in my case) in first half (at odds over 1.5) to get £10 free bet.
same theme as a lot of people, i.m on Kilmornuck ( local term, lol) watching there odds every week as i took the 7/4 that Bet365 offered to lift the pot at the end of the season as soon as Del McInnes took the reigns .
Bet365 initially opened up 11/10 on Sunday night for todays event, more importantly lets hope the perform on the day today.
No hard feelings against the Killie, even tho i,m an Ayr man..lol. ( 13 miles down the road )
Chelsea girl it’s with skybet 👍

good lucks if you play
Be warned about Ireland v Belgium. It is a friendly in Dublin against a very weakened Belgium side. Ireland have improved considerably of late and goalkeeper and defence are where they’re strongest. Obviously Belgium could show up and put a few past them but it is NOT The banker it seems. Ireland +1 is a better value bet in my opinion. A lot of these games end up in a draw.
totally agree taking england match to be dead draw too. swiss are in excellent form
Nice1 Kris av just cashed out my HTFT for only 11 quid short of full returns I’ll let the win roll.
Well done wi your 2 up already 👏👏
We’ll in, Deb. 👍🏻
After a sticky week mid March, things are getting back to normal now. Nicely in profit this month again. I hope you are too. 😃

Both bets sewn up after 46 mins thanks to bet365 early payout. A welcome 11 points profit today. I don’t think we’ll see those odds on Killie again so it’s good we took advantage when we did.
Well done all winners 👍🏻
Footymad – Tell him he’s more than welcome but should save his cash and get his tips for free on here from the many amazing tipsters. 👍🏻

Last night’s boxing didn’t go to plan with Mikael Zewski appearing to injure his hand in the early rounds and therefore unable to throw much. I’m surprised he wasn’t pulled out before the 9th round stoppage tbh. Hopefully tonight will see a winning acca 🤞
For tonight’s boxing I’ve gone for a 4-fold paying just over 3/1 with Sky.
Louis Green v Harry Scarff to go the distance (4/11)
Maxi Hughes v Ryan Walsh to go the distance (4/11)
Ebanie Bridges v Maria Roman to go the distance (2/9)
Josh Warrington to beat Kiko Martinez on points (4/5)
GL all 🤞
I followed these picks and woke up to a nice profit this morning.
Great tipping thanks very much
Especially when you consider how poor quality DT’s personal tips actually are.
There’s a reason DT steals everyone else’s tips ….. 😉
Altrincham v Aldershot
Altrincham left it late but scored with a few minutes left in the game. I had the single at evens and it’s the first winner for me on here so all ended well.
A bet i like and what that will almost certainly win Ukraine to win the Eurovision Song contest at 5/6,who else is gonna win it.
I take it the Russian grannies aren’t taking part this year, wonder what they are up to these days 😂
Im sure Pukin will have them doing something vile.Jokes aside though i can’t see anyone else winning it Europe standing together and all that.Nul pwa for Russia

Finished 2-0 in Brazil, BTTS lost 🇧🇷👇
Arbroath bets sailed in it will be the same next week we will score at least 2 v thistle don’t know about the corners as their pitch is a total disgrace ,
