MAY 5: SERIE A BETTING TIPS

Napoli v Inter, Sunday, 7.45pm ON the face of it this looks like a real glamour fixture but regular viewers of Serie A will know all too well just how much Inter's star has fallen. When Andrea Stramaccioni's team beat Napoli back in December they went second in the...

MARCH 15: MR FIXIT’S TIPS

MARCH 11: MR FIXIT’S TIPS

MARCH 10: MR FIXIT’S TIPS

ANYONE who read my Daily Record column yesterda will know I'm backing Man United to beat Chelsea in the FA Cup today. United are simply the best side in England at the moment while the Blues blow hot and cold. Alex Ferguson will still be furious at the way...

MARCH 4: MR FIXIT’S TIPS

FEB 28: MR FIXIT’S TIPS

AFTER a couple of busy nights there's not a lot happening on Thursday. Club Brugge should win their derby against at lowly Cercle Brugge but best price is 7-10 at Betway. The bigger Brugge side did well to draw 2-2 at Anderlecht at the weekend and need the points...

FEB 26: BARCELONA v REAL MADRID TIPS

IT'S a packed card tonight but there is no doubt the most-viewed match will be the Spanish Cup El Clasico second leg. The first leg was more fascinating than fabulous and a 1-1 draw means it's all to play for at the Nou Camp. Since that game Barca's crown...

FEB 25: MR FIXIT’S TIPS

THERE are some decent matches tonight and let's start with West Ham v Spurs – and it's one I was struggling to make up my mind about. Spurs should be good enough to nick a win but Upton Park isn't the easiest place to visit with the bulk of...

FEB 11: MR FIXIT’S TIPS

Aston Villa v West Ham (Sky Sports 1, 1.30) Man United v Everton (Sky Sports 1, 4.0) ALL eyes will be on Man United today as they bid to win the title by beating Everton. Sir Alex Ferguson's side will roar 12 points clear of Man City after the...

FEB 3: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

JAN 31: MR FIXIT’S TIPS

JAN 21: MR FIXIT’S TIPS

I'VE tentatively tipped Everton to win at Southampton tonight but have no problem going with Benfica at Moreirense. Unbeaten Benfica face a side at the bottom and with just one with this season. More tellingly they lost 5-0 at second bottom Setubal last time out. Obviously Benfica are fairly...

JAN 20: MR FIXITS TIPS
