Scottish football is bracing itself for VAR's debut in the Premiership tonight at Easter Road.
Willie Collum is the man entrusted to oversee the smooth introduction of the technology for tonight's clash between Hibs and St Johnstone. Let's see how that goes!
Few bookies have priced up VAR related bets but Skybet go 10/3 on there being a red card and 15/8 that a penalty is taken.
As for the game itself, the Hibees are 8/13 to win. Lee Johnson's side had been going well until a 1-0 defeat to Dundee Utd stopped them in their tracks. They were thumped 6-1 at Celtic Park last weekend but they've got a good recent record against the Saintees, winning four and drawing the other of the last five meetings.
It's a similar story for St Johnstone who have lost their last three having gone three without defeat. By all accounts, it was a pretty dire performance at Livingston last week so a big improvement will be required to pick anything up in the capital tonight.
In terms of a bet, let's look to a BetBuilder.
Surprisingly, Hibernian lead the way on the corner count in the Premiership, racking up an average of 8.00 per match (6.40 at home). Contrast that with St Johnstone who have won the fewest corners, just 3.09 per game.
The Saintees are also the worst disciplined team in the league with 34 yellows and one red in 11 games. The worst offenders are Ryan McGowan (5 cards), Alex Mitchell (4) and Daniel Phillips (3).
Referee Kevin Clancy is averaging 4.50 yellows per game and has flashed two red in his six Premiership matches.
With all that in mind a BetBuilder of Over 5 Hibs Corners, Over 1 St Johnstone Cards, Over 3 Match Cards pays 23/20.
Super Single
- Over 5 Hibs Corners, Over 1 St Johstone Cards, Over 3 Match Cards 23/20 Bet365

Hearts generally kick anything that moves above grass level against Celtic anyway but I’ll be on Hearts cards after this statement…..
Defender Alex Cochrane is urging his Hearts team-mates to get into the faces of Celtic at the weekend and take bookings if they need to stop the champions being on top.
That’s par for the course Smokey Joe.👍
The same Alex Cochrane that was sent off at Celtic Park in August, announcing this like he’s changing his attitude from being a fair guy 😂
Nick Walsh is the ref and Steven McLean is on VAR, the ref who gave Celtic hee haw last wk. Gonna be interesting how it’ll work here, could be penalties & red cards galore this wknd in SPL

Good morning, guys,
Today’s MAIN bet
Bohemians FC over 1.5 team goals – Irish Premier League – K.O. 19:45
Hibernian over 0.5 team goals – Scottish Premier League – K.O. 19:30
Double @ 116/100 with W/Hills
Bohemians play a Finn Harps side that has conceded 2+ goals in 14
of their last 15 away fixtures. Although not prolific scorers, Bohemians
have netted in 10 of last 12 home games, and 19 of last 24 fixtures.
H2H stats also look favourable, with Bohemians netting in 14 of 15
home games, whilst netting 2+ goals in 11 games.
As for the Hibernian pick, Hibs have netted in their last 14 home games,
whilst St. Johnstone have conceded in their last 14 away fixtures, only
keeping 1 clean sheet in their last 26 away games,
Good luck with all bets today!!
Bohs have a new manager, Declan Devine ex Derry City, in the dugout tonight too Willie so I think we’ll put in a much improved performance.. we’ve announced Keith Buckley is returning to the club next season as Captain too, so a lot of players will be playing for their future at the club over the final 3 games.. c’mon the gypsies! BoL
Thank for the extra info Fitzy, hopefully bag a couple against a
side that’s been haemorrhaging goal recently.
WON – 2nd goal for Bohemians on 90 mins seals this one.
The PP special came in again last night at 4/1. Mitrovic 2 SOT & Barnes 1. Wednesday was a Trossard SOT away from 8/1 and he hit the bar just after his 1st SOT, Zaha 2 came up in the later game.

Weekend EPL Sat
Chelsea v Man Utd
Man Utd double chance at 8/11 (Nap) b365
Draw at 5/2
Man Utd beat Spurs midweek 2-0 and you have to say Spurs were truly shocking and that was a Conte team in a big game easily beaten.United played well and pressed them for 90 mins which was surprising given the amount of games coming up.In the last 10 matches between these 2 Chelsea have only managed to win once and that was an F.A cup,the last 4 meetings have all been draws and they come when Man Utd were shockingly poor,so what we know is United don’t fear Chelsea,the 8/11 on offer for United not to lose this game is big,also going to do the draw.
Prediction 1-1
Man City v Brighton
Man City to win -2 Asian Handicap at 2.030 b365
What you have to look at when taking a team on the handicap is what’s the chances of the opponents scoring,looking at Brighton’s recent performances i’d say slim.City lost last time out against fierce rivals Liverpool and a 4 point gap opened up at the top of the table,expect a response here.
Prediction
4-0
It was a shocking round of fixtures for goals midweek and all teams in Europe have 7 games to play between now and the 12th November expect plenty more injuries etc etc
best of luck
Our game against Newcastle should be fun….after what happened against United (they deserved the win) I can see a very confident Newcastle side taking all 3 points
They was shocking Spursman,i was surprised by Ten Hags pressing game given the amount of games coming up it could come back to haunt him with injuries time will tell,It looked to me like Conte had gone to Old Trafford to play for a draw.
I haven’t looked at the market yet but I feel United exerted so much effort on Weds night that it’ll be Chelsea’s turn to have a go on Sat evening, so Chelsea corners will be the way to go.. United are obviously still a work in progress and I’m not sure they’ve another performance like that in them in the same week, hope I’m wrong, but I think Chelsea wil win this.. fully agree with the City bet, Brighton should be put to the sword
At least under Pochettino they went for it in every game….then again he had an in form Alli, Kane and Son. Conte doesn’t have the quality he had at Chelsea to fight on all fronts so he’ll have to pick his battles so he’ll have to pick his battles
Poch is a good manager,when they lost the Champions league final it really affected the squad,the Chairman should of backed Poch in the transfer market that summer but he chose not to and it proved costly.
I wouldn’t go near Chelsea corners at the moment Fitzy. They were generally high until change of manager. Hardly any in some of the games since Potter took over. I think with corners in this type of game, your’e best going in play. Get involved if they’re flowing but if they ain’t save your money. Most likely bets for this game IMO are under 2.5 goals, 0:0 half time and Maccas United double chance is a decent shout.
Cheers Evens, haven’t researched a thing yet but that’s good to know
Seen a guys inshop bet wi Coral on Twitter, £100 on Arsenal to be top of the league at xmas at 25/1. They’ve only got 4 games to play before xmas and 1 of the games is Forest at home, surely hone and hosed, that city arsenal postponed game is probably godsend for him
