MR FIXIT asked me to come up with a nice bet for tonight and you can't get much nicer than Nice.

They travel to Rennes in the French league aiming for three wins in a row and are as big as 5-1 with William Hill and BetVictor.

Rennes are of course hot favourites but have only won one in six and in midweek lost to third division side Quevilly in the semi-finals of the French Cup.

So their spirits will need lifted but they might find Nice nasty after back-to-back successes against Lorient, who beat leaders Montpellier last night, and St Etienne.

Backing the win could be too ambitious so look at Nice plus one at 23-20 with Stan James. It kicks off at 8pm.

In Spain, Getafe entertain Sevilla (8pm) and hopefully it will be as tasty as the visitors' oranges.

Sevilla have won four out of five and are 7-4 with Coral to pick up the win but Getafe have taken maximum points from their last three home games against Sporting, Valencia and Real Sociedad so it's no banker.

If pushed I'd side with Sevilla but a better bet could be Alvaro Negredo to score at any time. He is 19-10 at unibet and has hit four in four games.

Looking at other games on the card I'll be on leaders Shamrock Rovers at 8-13 with Betfred home to Derry City (7.45pm)  in the Irish League, Helsinborg (4-7, various) should beat GAIS (6pm) in Sweden and Slovan Liberec (5-6, various) can win at Banik Ostrava (6pm).

Recommendations

Nice +1

(23-20, Stan James)

Negredo to score

(19-10, unibet)

      Danny, once the British leagues are finished we’ll start to look elsewhere and hopefully you’re right about the Scandinavian leagues.

    Danny stop shouting please

  5. Mr Chris Guy 12 years ago

    Om getting crappy odds of 6/4 for Negredo anytime so think I’ll have to do first and last at 11/2

    • Mr Fixit 12 years ago

      Chris, Robredo’s a better price!

  6. Mr Chris Guy 12 years ago

    Crappy odds at Boylesports. I have money sitting in my account so want to use that

    Just so ya know shamrock rovers v Derry is setanta cup 1st leg semi final, wouldn’t be a huge cup but rovers still would have a bigger squad compared to Derry

    • Mr Fixit 12 years ago

      Nobby, I’ve stuck them on a silly treble for a bit of interest. Got them with Helsingborg and Nice +1 which was Scott’s tip.

  8. Mr Chris Guy 12 years ago

    Ive gone £60 Negredo first and £60 Negredo last at 11/2. Only need him to score first or last for £270 profit.

  9. dave 12 years ago

    tonight i have gone for BTTS
    Ostrava v Liberec
    Aarhus v Aalborg
    Rennes v Nice
    Stabaek v Honefoss
    Viking v Molde
    £40.00 pays £757.47 with william hill,,
    i dont know why but the rennes match is 11-8 for BTTS,
    am i missing something they both have good form,and have both scored plenty latley,,

    • Mr Fixit 12 years ago

      Dave, I noticed Scott tipped Nice +1 at Rennes and I’ve backed that. I had a look at some sites after that and any tips I saw were for 1-0 Rennes. But Nice’s current form suggests they’ll score and maybe take something from the game.

    Rennes first team squad have all gone on a ‘team-building’ holiday, their second squad are away on tour so playing tonight, will be the remaining ground staff and the first five spectators to turn up.

    Paul quick one, interested in knowing about perming bets as like u say u hit the bar usually with the btts. If I perm any 5 and all 6 how much would this cost? Assuming I usually put 2quid on it?? Is it 6x2quid? Are the returns good?? Or is it just enough to cover ur bet… Cheers!!

    • Mr Fixit 12 years ago

      Matt, how much you win depends on the odds. For example if you pick six teams at 2-1 and five win your return is 31-1. However, to cover 5 from 6 and all six is seven bets. If you’re staking £2 that would be 7 bets at roughly 30p so about a tenner back if one wrong. Perms should always be used when odds are big, for example on first scorers multiples and draws, or if you are happy for a small return with one wrong. Punters such as Chris Guy are not interested in perms because they want to hit the big ones. It’s down to individual preference.

    Okay thanks for that, ill have a bash at them one day haha. I wish I could hit them like chris guy but the money is an issue haha. Good luck to the fella though!!
