IT'S been a packed week of football and we can take our foot off the gas ahead of the international break.
Not much to look at on Monday with one FA Cup tie – Oxford City vs Northampton – and a string of lower-league games across Europe.
National League North Oxford have netted in 15 of their last 16 FA Cup matches but Northampton should have too much class for their opponents after making the fourth round last season and winning promotion to League One. Oxford are a best 8-11 with bet365 to win while both to score pays just 8-15 at William Hill.
I didn't do much on the FA Cup over the weekend with so many non-league teams involved but there were plenty of goals and I enjoyed watching the highlights on the Beeb.
Lincoln scored some crackers on Saturday against Forest Green and I'll have a look at the highlights later of Torquay 5, Crawley 6.
Pretty sure it will be a no bet day for me on Monday as I take an early look at Tuesday's Betfred Cup games and consider if Scotland can win in Serbia in what will be their most important game for 22 years.
Well done to all the winners on Sunday including some good ones in the early Motherwell vs Celtic match. Sean567 tipped both sides to score a header at 12-1 while cocker was on Moi Elyounoussi to notch with a header for Celtic at 10-1.
I had Motherwell vs Celtic both to score and Rangers -1 on a treble with both to score at Man City vs Liverpool and that landed easily at 5-2.
If it hadn't been a treble I'd have been more ambitious with Steven Gerrard's men who look pretty unstoppable against the type of Scottish teams who have caused them plenty of problems over the past couple of seasons.
Two out of three on my Italian games beat my btts treble even before the start of Valencia vs Real Madrid which had landed before half-time.
Again we had some nice winners from Kevin Mac and SlipsTips on their match previews.
And later maccathered's over 1.5 Aston Villa goals at 9-4 was a beaut.
Manchester City and Liverpool played are joint favourites to win the title at 13-8 with Coral after playing out their 1-1 draw.
And after inspiring Aston Villa to a 3-0 win at Arsenal Jack Grealish is odds on at 4-7 to make the England squad for the European Championship finals next summer and 6-4 to start the first game at the tournament which is hopefully against Scotland.
Ross Barkley is 3-1 to make the squad and that looks a steal. If I was Gareth Southgate he'd be in for sure and has made such a difference to Villa's team since joining from Chelsea.
Good luck if you decide to have a bet today. I'm sure there will be a few suggestions on the comments section – I'm nicking out for a haircut then a few holes as it's a cracking day up here.

Jong Utrecht v Roda JC – Monday
I like Roda to score at least twice in this game. They had a tough run of games with 4 games played in 13 days. The last game was 8 days ago, so they will be well rested for this one. Roda also have striker Falkenburg back from injury who is a decent striker on this level. It is his first season in the Eerste divisie after years in the Eredivisie. I think he will start together with Alberg and Croux in attack. With these 3 players they should be able to create some chances.
Jong Utrecht have played 9 games this season and conceded at least twice in 7 of their 9 games. They had results like 5-2, 2-3, 1-4 and 3-2 in their last 5 games and we could see something similar tonight. They conceded 2+ in all 4 home games this season.

Any thoughts on the QSL Cup games Sean…Am Thinking Al Gharafa should take care of Al Ahli Doha…maybe win + >1.5mgs?
2 out the 3 games are dead rubbers mate the top 3 in the group are thru it’s just Umm salal and al rayyan with anything to play for, so for me it’s best left alone as you’ve no idea what sort of teams will be fielded.
@sean567 thanks for the info.
Cheers Sean…will do mate 👍
Pete, Al gharafa name a mostly reserve side, while al ahli go reasonably strong.
Thanks Sean, was bored, so had a nibble at my original bet…
So far, so good..
Nice one. Goes to show the unpredictability of that tournament just now. Al ahli went from 3/1 to 10/11 after team news yet go 2-0 down.

Mr F, will there be a Masters comp this year? Also will there be any previews on the site?
There will be a Masters preview for sure. Admin will decide about the contest.
I’m backing DeChambeau – can’t really see past him as he could destroy some of the holes.
I might do Hatton ew too.
No worries Mr F, the comp is always good fun! DeChambeau too short for me. I like Koepka’s odds, had a punt on Molinari EW at 100/1. Jordan Spieth’s Augusta record shouldn’t be ignored and looks big at 66s although he is playing muck!
DeChambeau is 9-1. That will do for me along with a couple of eachways.
Evening gents,
Strange day of ups and downs yesterday with the early penalty coming in followed by a car-crash corners bet but the later Brasilian returned a decent price for 4 or more goals!
Peru for me this evening and I’m sweet on the hosts as they take on the big-hitting but slightly ailing Alianza:

América Women v Queretaro Women
Today at 21:45
Mexican Women’s Liga MX
Btts EVENS (hills) NAP.
Before lockdown I wouldn’t fancy queretaro to score but since their form has picked up.
Queretaro scored in last 10 games and in 12 of 13 post lockdown.
They were on a 5 match win streak until a draw with leaders Monterey last time out.
They scored in last 6 aways and scored 3 at atlas and Guadalajara who are above America.
Favourites America are 4-9 to win so should score.
They have conceded in 9 of last 13 games .
That also conceded in 7 of last 9 homes.
🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Get back on that winning streak please,let’s just keep it simples
Mr F, I wish to appreciate your efforts in keeping this site running, this includes the monetary costs and other sacrifices you have made to sustain it. My day is incomplete without coming here to keep abreast of some very insightful tips. I wish to also recognize the regulars whose contributions are indelible, it is one united family in quest to get the best value of our stakes. In the light of this am humbly suggesting that a provision be made where contributors will air their views on their best selection for the matches of the week (in terms of winnings, cards, corners, BTTS etc). This will definitely increase our winnings “cos there are more matches to predict. This will not foreclose the daily thread but will serve as a recovery tool for looses encountered in daily bets due to limited number of matches available for prediction. More so I will suggest that you publish your PayPal account so that those of us whose games pulls through can make some donations in form of an appreciation to your efforts.
Thanks for the kind words. I’m not looking for donations but you can join for £5 a month and get access to all tips including VIP Tips. That helps with the costs.

Patriots Vs Jets – Pick under 42.5 points – BET365 @ 10/11
Slew of injuries on both sides, the Jets can barely put up points. Defensively this matches New England favourably, the Jets are horrible throwing the ball and somehow even worse at running the ball. The last 4 games they have failed to put up more than 10 points in each game.
New England this year have just been way off, Brady leaving, the most covid opt outs. No hands on Belicheck training camp has handicapped this team drastically. However there has been several close games which could’ve swung in our favour if not for one or two plays.
With only 3 starting wideouts I expect us to game plan Damien Harris significantly he’s been a sensation at running back, hits the hole hard with two 100 yard rushing games in the last four. I expect the Patriots to control the clock and run hard for a low scoring affair.
Potential to add a double for New England -10 points as well as the Jet’s are that bad.
Sorry guys, absolute **** by Roda
just the way it goes mr O…….. you are never far off in holland keep ’em coming sir………….
