LAST night was incredible where my top tips were concerned with last-minute goals bringing up the single, treble and both teams to score tips – before a 96th-minute Barnsley equaliser at Sheffield Wednesday beat the treble.
Unless you look “off coupon” the choice tonight isn't great but hopefully my three tips will again give you a run for your money.
For the Super Single I'm keeping backing Cesc Fabregas to score. The former Arsenal star always provides a goal threat and I've tipped him to net the opener at 5-1 if Lionel Messi doesn't start.
In the absence of Messi against Mallorca at the weekend Fabregas hit a hat-trick and even if the Argentine starts he has a chance of hitting the target. Fabregas is 11-10 with Titanbet.
For the treble I'm starting with Barca at 4-11 with Titanbet. They were by far the better team in the first leg against PSG with the injury to Messi rocking them.
PSG will need to at least score to have any chance and if they attack too much Barca will pick them off.
Next I'm taking a chance on Rochdale at home to Southend in League Two. New Southend boss Phil Brown is still waiting for his first win after replacing Paul Sturrock and suffered disappointment at Wembley against Crewe at the weekend with defeat in the Johnstone Paint Trophy Final.
Rochdale on the other hand and after worrying about a relegation battle a few weeks ago are now looking up. On defeat in six has moved them to within three points of Southend and their last two matche shave been impressive wins against Fleetwood and Exeter.
This isn't a banker by any means because you'd imagine Brown will have an effect at some point but Rochdale are worth a look at 6-5 with Titanbet.
Complete the treble with another side who face a tough test at home. Partick Thistle v Morton is the biggest game of the season in the First Division and victory will move the Jags five points clear of their rivals with a game in hand.
Thistle need to bounce back from the agony of losing Sunday's Ramsdens Cup Final to Queen of the South but you could see players weren't focused on that one – this is the game that matters.
At Firhill Thistle have won 14 out of 15 games and that record suggests they are worth the risk at 1-1 with Titanbet.
Morton will be slightly fresher and are unbeaten in three games against the Jags this season and that has to be taken into account. My concern about Morton is they've conceded exactly two goals in their last three games and it's worth noting Thistle have twice won this fixture 5-0 in the last three seasons.
Last night's both teams to score fourfold came up at 6-1 and I've go another 6-1 chance for tonight.
I tipped both Champions League ties elsewhere so start with them add the two Scottish games. Thistle v Morton has produced 11 goals this season with both scoring in each. This will either be a high-score thriller or a no-score bore – let's hope it's the former in front of a crowd that should hit around 8000.
Complete the fourfold with Annan v Queen's Park in Division Three. This season's meetinggs have finished 3-2 to Queen's away and 2-2 twice.
Last season it was 5-2 and 2-3 at Annan and in total eight of the nine meetings between the clubs have seen both score and only one of nine has been under 2.5 goals.

Lays of the Weekend
Lay Malaga to beat to beat Osasuna @ 2.14
Barring those folks with money on a Borussia Dortmund win, anybody watching Malaga’s stoppage-time capitulation in Germany would have felt sympathy for the Spaniards. Until the match entered added time, Manuel Pellegrini’s side looked to have pulled off the perfect Champions League away performance but then it all unravelled in a manic two-minute spell. To rub salt in the wound, replays showed that Felipe Santana’s winning goal should have been flagged offside. Having won only one of their six previous La Liga games to boot, Malaga must somehow pick themselves off the canvas for this date with Osasuna. They’ve also lost their last three following European dates.
Lay AC Milan to beat Napoli @ 2.18
Due to a succession of frustrating draws throughout February, second-placed Napoli let leaders Juventus prise open an ominous nine-point gap at the Serie A summit. With the title seemingly out of their grasp, Napoli’s main goal is surely to stop the advancing Milan beyond them and claiming that all-important second automatic Champions League spot. Three wins on the spin have certainly aided that cause greatly, ensuring that the visitors to the San Siro will start this game four points clear of their third-placed hosts. The sides have drawn their last two top-flight meetings but, with the attacking trio of Goran Pandev, Blerim Dzemaili and Edinson Cavani in such top goalscoring form and Mario Balotelli suspended for the hosts, Napoli can go one better.
Lay Heracles to beat Groningen @ 2.06
These Dutch Eredivisie sides last met in December and on that occasion Groningen, currently one place above their hosts in the table, ran out comfortable 2-0 winners. That made it two successive wins for Groningen in this fixture and represented their third win over Heracles in the last four encounters. Furthermore, the form table shows Heracles suffered defeat in four of their last six games and the last two of those in succession. In contrast, Groningen are on an upward curve having strung together two straight victories, while only tasting defeat once in their last four matches.

Milesey, saying you had a good night I’ll post the Europa League tips right now.
Here Milesey, you being an extremely senior executive with Betfair n all the free publicity they get on this site, you could put a word in and get a comp up with even better prizes than PP…think of the good publicity/new customers u might attract…help secure ya an even bigger bonus this year!! ;-)

Plenty of your competitors bigger than Betfair do it..never a good thing to be complacent or ignore the bread n butter!! ;-) whats ye CE’s name I’ll write to him and suggest it…maybe give me a nice free laaarge bet! ;-)
Guido, you’ve got Milesey started now. Of their kind Betfair are the biggest but remember they’re not a bookie. Meant to say we had our 5 millionth visitor today, don’t think it was that long ago when we were celebrating 4m.
Why do you only have 1,269 subscribers, and being one of them, don’t think i’ve ever receieved anything ?
Milesey
Milesey, that was the figure for the newsletter sign-up which we don’t do now. Should really be taken down by admin. It was 1269 after the site had been up for a couple of months. We used to send out a cracking newsletter free to subscribers on a Friday with bets, stats, features etc. But it was too much work with everything else I have to do on a Friday.
“” bigger then Betfair ? “” and who is bigger ?

Gilly, did you do my Raith tip last night or did Mr H put you off, a tip he ended up taking himself to get a double up, haha! :)
2 lines down with Barcelona to win and over 2.5 goals would u adam and eve it :(
I shy’d away from it Greg, which ended up making me look like a plonker! Decided to go all in on the Dortmund game and thank god that they somehow managed to pull it off!! Will definitely take in your tips a lot more in the future from now on!
Not at all, was just a suggestion! nice one, a win is a win, not so good for the heart though! Haha!
Well done Mielsey with your treble! :)
Well Paul, good decision to opt with Partick, not sure how the game panned out but that’s pretty much them promtoted, cracking crowd there too I believe!
Greg, just got the impression this was much more important to them than the final last Sunday. Also believe they were on a nice win bonus. That’s the title just about decided I think and as you say there was a bumper crowd.
