THE first team not on my Top Treble this weekend are Scunthorpe after beating me two Saturdays on the spin.
As we all know they threw away a 3-0 lead to draw at Dagenham after a match that was suspended for five minutes then restarted in appalling conditions.
To be fair to Scunny having watched the highlights the equaliser was a joke and would never have been scored on a playable pitch. The League Two title chasers will probably win at off-form Hartlepool but I'm not touching them with the proverbial barge pole.
When I put up my Super Single shortlist what struck me was the number of aways – eight out of 10 with one on neutral ground – and that makes it a tough card. There is also transfer deadline-day moves to factor in so keep eye on that before putting on your bets.
I'm still struggling to find homes I really look and for the Top Treble I've decided to take a chance on three of the aways that featured on that list. The prices are good enough to do a Trixie if you prefer.
So let's start with Derby at a Birmingham side who have won just two of their 14 Championship games at home. When a Brum fan tips his side for the drop – and they're only five points clear of safety – you know something's wrong.
Lee Clark's men are skint and but have brought in centre-half Aaron Martin on loan from Southampton. They haven't taken a point from their previous four and face a Derby side who showed their battling abilities by coming back from 2-0 down to beat Yeovil 3-2 in midweek.
Derby have bounced back well from successive defeats to Wigan and Leicester and having strengthened with the signing of highly-rated Patrick Bamford they should bag the spoils here at well over 1-1.
The one downside is County have won just once on their last 25 visits to St Andrew (a worse record than Tiger Woods) but boast the second best away record in the league and it's probably the worst City side they've faced in that spell.
Staying on the Championship and I'm backing leaders Leicester at Bournemouth. Leicester have emerged unscathed from a tough set of fixtures with an eight-point lead and will be tough to catch.
Nigel Pearson has defied the doubters and his side have won their last five in impressive style. Dean Court isn't the easiest place to go but Leicester look good to me at around 1-1.
Complete the treble with another recent favourite Brentford at Shrewsbury. The Bees have climbed to the top of the table with five wins in six and pack a real punch in front of goals.
That could be bad news for Shrewsbury who have sunk into the drop zone and conceded 11 goals in their last four games – including exactly three in their last three. I'm on Brentford, who have lost just twice away, at just under 1-1. And I fancy a cheeky bet on them to score 3+.

Hi all
It is all cautious bet in the Turkish League due to the winter break.
I have decent looking treble that pays around 6/1 from Turkish Super League.
First up is Kayserispor V Kasimpasa KICK OFF 13:30
Kayserispor sit 2nd bottom without a win in 6. D3 L3. They have a few injury problems most importantly the young highly rated midfielder Sefa Yilmaz with a broken leg. Also defender Sereno banned for this game. During the transfer window they have sold another highly rated young and very talented right back Salih Dursun to Galatasaray.
On the other hand Kasimpasa sitting 5th in League table with a game in hand also without a win in 6 but the form reads D5 L1. The form of the two teams tempting a bet on Draw in this game however I believe Kasimpasa will be too strong for Kayserispor. Their game in hand is against Besiktas. The Turkish FA decided to void the game they have won against Besiktas and ordered a replay as a result of the Kasimpasa defender Ryan Donk’s most weird act of defending! Donk held another ball thrown to the pitch, and threw it to hamper Almeida’s effort. The Dutch player changed the course of the play with his illegal interruption, but the referee only showed him the yellow card and refused to award Beşiktaş a penalty. See the link below.

I know a lot of us frustrated with Fenerbahce after they have failed to score the 3rd last week. But for a straight win odds of shade under evens for them deserves a punt.
They play away to Eskisehirspor who lost away to Bursaspor 3-1 in their last league game and 4-1 to the same opponent prior to that in the Cup. They played Bursaspor for a 3rd time in a row in midweek and really struggled against Bursaspor who played over 75 mins of that game with 10 men. A very bad refereeing decision in the injury time awarding a penalty for a hand ball helped them to win that game 1-0. But Bursaspor with 10 men had more than a handful of chances to score in that game.
Eskisehirspor are definitely leaking goals at the moment, I feel they will continue to do so against a very strong Fenerbahce side.
Fenerbahce will be without injured Emenike and former Eskisehir player Alper Potuk (who was also out in the last game) an important attacking midfielder. But they still have enough firepower in Musa Sow, Pierre Webo, Dirk Kuyt and a very attacking left back Caner Erkin to defy the odds of 19/20 . Also worth mentioning Eskisehir has played the tough cup game in midweek.
PS Caner Erkin could be on his way to Premiership next year. Won’t be surprised at all with his qualities.
Unfortunately the last leg of the treble is on Sunday but again I believe it will be worth the wait. Karabukspor to beat Elazigspor @ a very generous odds of 8/13 :)) They are as short as 30/100 in Turkey. Then again Turkish odd compliers are ridiculous.
Karabuk only lost 1 in last 10 league games, beating Fenerbahce along the way and they were unlucky not to take all 3 points away to Kasimpasa last week. I have mentioned them in this thread before as being really unlucky their results were not reflecting the way they played.
Elazigspor were the whipping boys losing 10 in a row conceding so many lost the count until recently. They have won last two in the league both being home games. Their away form reads P8 L7 W1 that win coming the very first day of the season. They have also played Galatasaray in the cup midweek so I expect a few tired legs. They also have important midfielder Serdar Ozkan banned for the red card he received against Gala.
BETS:
Kasimpasa win@ 6/5
Fenerbahce win @ 19/20 Alternatively Fenerbahce over 2.5 team goals @ 3/1 or safer over 1.5 goals @ 10/11
Karabukspor win @ 8/13
Good Luck
For those who does not want to wait until Sunday for the treble can add UMM-SALAL from Qatar League. I have flagged them up many times here since they have appointed a new manager which they have won 5 in a row under him.
Umm Sala are available @ 6/4 tomorrow.
