LEAGUE football returns on Friday and there are big games in Scotland, England and France.

The Scottish lower leagues finally kick off with antepost favourites Hearts tackling a Dundee side who should be their closest challengers having signed Charlie Adam and Graham Dorrans.

Hearts still harbour a grudge at the way they were relegated last season and will be determined to return to the top flight at the first attempt.

Robbie Neilson is back in the hotseat after returning to the club he left in 2016 and his experience should see them over the line.

They are a best 1-4 with William Hill to win the league and 13-20 at Betway to pick up the points. If you thinks that's short try both to score at a much bigger 19-20.

The Jambos will be disadvantaged by no fans as Tynecastle would have been sold out for this one but I'll be watching the game closely live on BBC.

I'm optimistic we'll see a good game to start with and plenty of goals – and let's hope the season is played to conclusion with all the problems clubs are facing.

While I can't see past Hearts for the title McBookie's 6-4 offer on Dundee to finish first without the favourites is worth a look.

McBookie have the biggest selection of anteposts on the Scottish lower leagues and make Hearts' striker Liam Boyce 5-2 favourite to be top scorer ahead of 9-2 Steven Naismith and 9-1 Stephen Dobbie.

SlipsTips has posted a Hearts vs Dundee preview with predictions to check them out.

In the English Championship it's Derby vs Watford while in France we have Dijon vs Rennes and Nimes vs PSG.

Scott Allot has posted VIP Tips and the Derby games is featured. Check his post out if you're a member.

Rennes top the table after an unbeaten six-game start to the season and should see off a side with just one victory.

PSG have won four in a row after recovering from a pandemic-troubled start to the campaign and should be convincing winners at a Nimes side lucky not to be relegated last season.

Nimes have conceded 10 in three meetings to the champs who hammered Angers 6-1 last time out. I'm backing PSG -1 at 19-20 with Betway and Rennes to win.

There wasn't much on the go on Thursday but well done to any winners.

    I’m expecting hearts v Dundee to be a bit of a battle tonight, both sides have been mothballed for 7 months and will be chomping at the bit, plus they have an early chance to lay down a marker in what should be a 2 team title race. Therefore it’s cards for me and a William hill build your odds.

    Hello guys someone to explain to me what this means Derby vs Watford
    1.5 AAH DERBY in simple terms.

    • Drumtips 4 years ago

      Believe it could be 1.5 alternative Asian handicap don’t bet this market often so I’m not too sure but I think it means that if derby either draw or lose the game by 1 goal the bet wins if they lose by 2 or more it’s a loser. could be wrong on that so correct me if I am👍

  12. Alves 4 years ago

    Rooney is 2/1 to have a shot on target from outside the box, not seen any derby games this season but presume he’ll be on free kicks??

    • nb89 4 years ago

      Scored a free kick in the last game. He’s been playing up front last couple of games as well.

    • Mr Fixit 4 years ago

      He scored one in his last game so yes. Can’t remember who but someone tipped him at a big price to score from outside the box.

    • Alves 4 years ago

      Cheers, will take the 2/1 on offer for shot on target from outside the box if he’s starting 👍

  20. grayer1967 4 years ago

    Flash scores has Rennes with 7 players out for tonight game so may have a bearing on the game!!

    • sean567 4 years ago

      I noticed that too, saying PSG will be without 9 and at least 5 look like first choice starters as well

    • BaDkO 4 years ago

      4 of the missing players for Rennes were not available for their last League 1 match as well.
      To me it looks like the key missing players are Da Silva and N’Zonzi (both due to yellow cards).
      On a positive note, Terrier seems to be out of the injured list and back into the squad.

    • Mr Fixit 4 years ago

      Rennes have also sold Raphael to Leeds and brought up in a couple of new players.
      Should have enough in the squad to win this.
      PSG are without several players but again squad should be deep enough to get the job done.

  21. florescum 4 years ago

    Main bet today
    Umea- Trelleborgs 1x/ home or draw

    Everton v Liverpool
    Jordan Henderson to be booked at 4/1*****(NAP)
    Wouldn’t usually nap a player to be booked but this nailed on to me.Henderson will be seething after that defeat to Villa and he will fired for this one.Make no mistake he will be loud in this match and will look to set an example,just hope he doesn’t get sent off.I heard there’s a derby in Scotland but that’s a soft compared to playing the bitters.
