Friday night sees the Championships, north and south of the border, step in to the spotlight with live games from Birmingham and Hamilton.
In the English Championship, Sunderland are the visitors to St Andrew's in the live match on Sky Sports. The Black Cats have found the going touch recently in the second tier, managing just one win their last four, a 2-0 victory over bottom side Huddersfield.
In fact all of their triumphs so far this season have come against teams currently residing in the bottom half of the table so they could find things tricky at 10th place Birmingham.
The Blues are on a good run of form (W4 D3 L1) with just a solitary defeat in their last eight, a 1-0 loss to second place Blackburn. that points to a home win on the cards at 11/8.
In the Scottish Championship it's bottom v top at New Douglas Park. Hosts Hamilton need to start picking up points soon otherwise themselves and Arbroath could be cut adrift at the foot of the table but they've won just once at home this season, against fellow strugglers Arbroath.
Ayr United on the other hand find themselves at the dizzying heights of the top of the table. It's not been a vintage Championship so far but Ayr are the ones setting the pace, three points clear of four teams in joint second, despite having only won half of their games to date.
What an opportunity to go six clear ahead of the other fixtures on Saturday. The 19/20 on a win for the Honest Men makes plenty of appeal, as does the even money on them finding the net at least twice. Ayr are the league's highest scorers and the Accies can lay claim to being the joint worst defence.

Gotta love a 95th minute goal to put your bet up…making for a very profitable lunchtime! Double was a bit more comfortable, coming in after 71 minutes when Tampines Rovers made it 5-0 in a match that ended 8-1…madness!!
Injuries are crippling Sunderland atm. Birmingham look a shout at 2.20.
If he starts Jay Matete at 5.00 to be carded is a great price.
Matete booked 1 min after coming on. 23.00 inplay 😎

Favourable refs in both Italy and Germany
In Italy the referee has dished out 32Y and a red in 4 league outings including 10 yellows in his sole Seria A game this season & both sides averaging over 2 cards per match.
Same in Germany,the referee is 2nd on the cards average list at over 5Y per match & both sides averaging well over 2 cards per game,infact only Leipzig have collected more yellows than these 2 tonight

Evening gents,
Quiet domestic cards across the globe in many nations as we run up to the hotly (or notly!) anticipated World Cup but there are a few games to look at…
To quote a line from a very underrated film (answers on a postcard) “when all else fails – try Wales!”
TNS VS. CAERNARFON (7.45pm)
Not sure if the away side can defend their castle from the invading Saints and I smell blood here:
TNS OVER 2.5 TEAM GOALS
(4/6, bet365) NAP ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
TNS OVER 3.5 TEAM GOALS
(13/8, bet365) NB ⭐️⭐️⭐️
TNS OVER 5.5 TEAM GOALS
(7/1, bet365) LONGSHOT ⭐️
Best of luck with all bets!
What a film,your place is twinned with Freetown in Sierra Leone
“All else fails, try Wales” – wasn’t that the Shaun the Sheep movie? 😉
I preferred the quote ” Pretty Shi**y City”………….Class film TWIN TOWN.
If it was Welsh it would be “Sion” the sheep.
Shaun I understand is a name the is Irish descent so I’m guessing the Shaun in the movie was probably a wooly fugitive from a farm in the emerald Isle .
There again sheep all look the same so he may have been using a false name to avoid capture and to blag his way into the movie scene 🐑🐑

Both teams to score 5-6 (UNIBET)
Poor league for goals normally but tempted by the stats.
Bourg have seen BTTS in 8 of their last 9 home games and conceded in all 9
** Martigues have seen BTTS in all 11 league games this season **
Martigues seen BTTS draw in 5 of their 6 away games.
5 of the 6 historic head to head seen BTTS with martigues scoring In all 6 but most were many years ago.
Prediction score draw

Boyacá Chicó V Atlético Huila
01:00
Colombian Categoria Primera B
Play off final 1st leg.
atletico huila to score 11-10 (BETFAIR SPORTSBOOK).
Bit of a longshot as Chico hardly concede any goals at home and huila come into this after a 3-0 defeat in quindío.
I’ve checked starting line ups and huila rested almost all their first choice players for that game as they had already qualified for this final.
*** Prior to that game huila had scored in 19 consecutive games ***
Of course there is a big danger of a 0-0 or 1-0 as it’s a first leg tie, that is why this is not a NAP bet, so I go with this as a best of a bad bunch of games tonight in the hope that huila can penetrate the iron curtain of the Chico rearguard
