It was a tough night for punters on Thursday; A Spurs defeat, Rangers failing to beat the handicap despite being 1/16, even St Johnstone's excellent 1-1 draw in Austria would've made it a profitable one for the bookies.
But we go again and have an opportunity to punish the bookies on Friday.
The Fife Derby between Raith Rovers and Dunfermline could be an entertaining one for viewers in Scotland (live on BBC Scotland 7.45pm) on Friday night. New Pars gaffer Peter Grant has found himself on the defensive the last few weeks following a run of three games without a win. The 5-0 drubbing at Ibrox in the cup was to be expected but questions have been asked over the apparent 3-4-3 formation that left them wide open. That result came off the back of a 3-0 loss to Partick Thistle and a 2-2 with Morton meaning the East End Park side have shipped 10 goals in their last three.
We'll find out tonight if lessons have been learned.
Rovers have had the upper hand in this fixture of late especially at Starks Park where they've won four of the last five meetings including a 5-1 thumping last season and will be in confident mood after last week's 2-1 win over Aberdeen in cup.
John McGlynn's side are 11/10 to win but it could be a safer option to back them to net twice at the same price given the Pars' recent defensive record.
In England Bristol City have the chance to temporarily join the six teams currently on seven points at the top of the Championship, with a win over Swansea. The Swans have yet to record a win and boss Russel Martin took a swipe at his team's conditioning following their 3-1 defeat to Stoke in midweek. If they're not up to scratch then 13/10 on the home has appeal and Mark Walker seems to think so too in his match preview.
PSG fans will have to wait a little longer to witness Lionel Messi's debut but they've more than enough quality to take all three points on Friday at Brest. The Parisiens have won their last nine meetings with Brest, six of them without conceding. But PSG have conceded in both Ligue 1 games so far and Brest have found the net in both of their's. Brest also boast higher number of shots on target per game (6.50) than PSG (4.50) so taking the PSG win with BTTS appeals at 7/5 with Bet365.

I`m on you cards in Fife mate . Also 40 + bp in the match 1/1 looks good
Yeah will see if the return of the fans to the derby helps , looked & the prices have come in a fair bit to 6/4 20+ each and 8/13 40+bp as well, here’s hoping to a bad tempered game 😅
Rangers lack of goals spoilt my night.
I’ve had a tough week following a good weekend but hoping to get going again tonight.
Viktoria Berlin v Hallescher
I’ve backed Viki a few times and tipped them last week and they duly obliged with a 4-0 win.
This means they have now started life in 3.Liga with 3 wins, the last 2 both being 4-0 victories. Falcao and Cigerci have both been prolific so far with each grabbing 3 in 3.
Tonight they face Hallescher who played in a 2-0 defeat on Monday night. They lost to Braunschweig who VB had beaten 4-0. Football doesn’t work like this but it does suggest the following bets have value.
VB to win 6/5
VB to score 2+ 11/10
VB to score 3+ 7/2
VB to score 4+ 12/1 (half a point).
Vamos Viki.
Best of luck all.
Bristol City v Swansea BTTS
Galway Utd Win
PSG. Win
Treble 2.8/1. Paddy
Bristol City looked good midweek creating a lot of chances when beating Reading away. But always leak goals !
Galway Utd take on Athlone Town who are on a poor run and lost 6v0 last time out
PSG. No Messi yet but players will be desperate to impress with him watching
👍😁⚽️
Agreed Admin – a tough night and well done to anyone who profited!
Mine were losers with the Icelandic game ending short of goals at 5-0 and the Peruvian match a goal short from the hosts after Cantaloa grabbed a brace.
Onwards and upwards though and I’m kicking things off with a low stakes Early Bird from the Russian Youth League:

Brest v PSG
Over 3 cards in the match 6/5
Longshot over 2 cards each team 14/1
Lets hope Brest make a game of it .
For those betting on PSG v Brest game tonight Messi and Neymar are not in the PSG squad.
Messi expected to make his debut against Reims all being well. Brest had decent start to season as well picking up positive results against Lyon & Rennes, PSG at 1/5 is ridiculously underpriced though I think odds may be drifting since yesterday. Potentially be a very tight game.
Just been looking at Card Markets, at first glance line seems really good & tempting set at 4 but Eric Wattelier in the middle tonight, one of the typically most lenient refs in France. Only dealt 34 Cards in 13 Domestic League games in 2021 (Ligue 1 & 2) at an average of 2.6 a match, got notes on him as the cretin has p*ssed on my chips in the past so gonna be a no bet day for me.
GL all with your bets this evening!
Messi was always going to make his debut in a home game,it would have been havoc to unveil him in tonight’s game.
Small stakes stuff again but going to have a teatime dabble on the Bolivian 2nds game:

No certainties in betting but, despite both sides poor form of late, this is a huge price for any both to score backers…
VÍKINGUR ÓLAFSVÍK VS. FJÖLNIR (8.15pm)
These two have met a lot over the time I’ve been following the football on Iceland, rarely have they had games that have been without goals in general with 100% of the last 9 meetings seeing both sides netting and just 1 of those not hitting 3+ goals!
I’m sweet as hell on the Nap and feeling not too dissimilar about the Nb – the longshot, well, you never know:
BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
(5/6, bet365) NAP ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE & OVER 2 5 GOALS

Best of luck 🇮🇸
Noted this one myself Hull. Like the look of corners in this also
Good luck – it’s a big price for this league and certainly the H2H – almost certainly priced on Olafsvik’s standing at the foot of the table and they may be right but I’d be surprised 🤞
Where I can follow score? Not on bet365
Mmac – it’s 0-0 after ’25 so far. Sofascore, Flashscore, etc all have it.
365 in particular pull games that have late money coming into them so most likely the same here…just need goals now!
Brest are a pretty attack minded side and with psg missing a few bodies, I’ll take a punt on Brest over 3.5 corners at 10/11.
Quite happy to take this as a single and in a wee double with Raith to get 5 or more comers at 10/11.
Good luck all.
2nd divison in Peru caught my eye, especially last placed Pirata FC.
Seems to rain goals in their matches. Last five saw 27 goals in total, of which they scored 12 themself. It’s impressive to score 2+ goals in 9 of the 14 league matches and not even win once.
Unfortunately in my country I’m not able to find pre match prices for Pirata to score 2+ but i think it’ll be around 12/5 to 5/4 and i will place it as the live odds are available.

Aragua at 2-1 also look overpriced given their recent home form and they are the bigger club of the 2 historically.
Gut feeling in reality this one 🙃

Robbery of the century tonight…only 3 cards in a game where i counted 7 and i’m being generous. Referee’s must be under serious pressure not to give out cards this season. I wont be touching cards/bookings for a long while….sorry guys
AFC, I watched that game and you gotta know that certain fouls which are given a instant Yellow Card in the English Leagues quite simply aren’t given in the likes of Italy & Spain, it generally takes something a lot more cynical for referees to brandish a card. Not all leagues follow the same protocol unfortunately.
Well, I stuck my neck out on btts in Iceland but Olafsvik duly gave me a Vikingur burial by not scoring – final score 0-7 and apologies to anyone on 😔
Hey AFC. Mike Riley head of PGMOL said before the season started that refs will be more lenient on fouls and also on offsides.
