HAPPY New Year to everyone and let's hope for some good punting in 2020.

Firstly, like last year I'm offering £100 to one of my followers in a New Year's contest.

All you have to do is comment with two British teams in senior competitions (FA Cup and leagues) who you think will score 2+ goals over the weekend.

Post your selections before 3pm on Saturday or before any of your selections kick off and give odds for the double. Biggest winning double will scoop £100. Add reasoning if you want.

All my picks come from Scotland today as l try to end a poor run and I'm taking Airdrie and Raith both to score 2+ goals.

Airdrie take on Forfar where they will be looking for all three points to keep the pressure on Raith at the top of League One.

With three wins and a draw and scoring 10 times in their last four home games Ladbrokes offer 8-15 on them scoring 2+ against a Forfar side conceding nine goals in their last three games.

Next up are leaders Raith in League One at home to Peterhead. Raith got back to scoring goals last week with five at East Fife. They are averaging 2 goals at home and should add to that to stay top of the league.

Ladbrokes offer 8-13 on them scoring 2+ against a Peterhead side conceding 20 goals in their nine away games this season. Going for a straight 3pts double that pays 6-4.

Good luck with your bets today and in the £100 competition.

Teams to Score 2+ Double

  • Airdrie
  • Raith
  • (6-4, Ladbrokes) – 3pts

Both Teams to Score Double

  • Alloa v Partick Th
  • Elgin v Edinburgh
  • (5-4, Ladbrokes) – 1pt

Over 2.5 Goals Treble

  • Dunfermline v Ayr
  • Clyde v Stranraer
  • Montrose v East Fife
  • (7-2, Ladbrokes) – 1pt

Sevenfold roll-up: 26-1 – 0.5pt

January Stats: -5.5pts

      I’m afraid anyone with non-league teams included or no odds given won’t be entered.
      Desmond can’t pick a winner without odds and he states FA Cup ties and senior UK leagues only.
