After a mini-break in the Premier League most clubs are back in action this weekend as the FA Cup reaches the fourth round and first on our screens are Manchester United at home to Middlesbrough tonight on ITV.
United last lifted the trophy in 2016, which is their only success in the competition in the last 17 years, and looks like being their best route to silverware this season.
Visitors Boro might be 8/1 shots to win inside the 90 minutes but they'll travel to Old Trafford in good spirits and good form which has seen them emerge as promotion contenders in the Championship.
A lot will depend on how Ralf Rangnick approaches the match. He sent out a strong starting XI for United's victory over Aston Villa in the previoud round and after a few weeks of rest he'll be able to do so again.
United are usually slow out the blocks and the time of the first goal is set at 27:00 minutes with Bet 365. The Red Devils have scored before the 27th minutes in just 6 of 31 games this season so the 5/6 on offer for no goal before 27 minutes could be the best bet.
In Scotland, Arbroath v Kilmarnock is the unlikely highlight of the lower league matches this weekend. Arbroath have had a phenomenal season that sees them sit top of the table after 22 games but they face their biggest test of the season tonight when rejuvenated Kilmarnock visit Gayfield Park.
Derek McInnes has been backed in the transfer market by the Killie board and they'll expect nothing less than promotion back to the Premiership, preferably as champions.
Killie's best work has been done away from home this season and the good news for them is that infamous seaside weather at Abroath looks set to be pretty benign tonight. That could help Kilmarnock and their superior squad rise to the ocassion and overtake the Smokies at the top of the table.
On paper Kilmarnock have the best squad in the division but they need to prove their superiority on the pitch and although this will be tight, they can nick it at 29/20.

Australian A league Friday morning tips
Adelaide v Sydney
3rd meets 6th here with both teams having ok if unspectacular starts to the season. One thing Adelaide have been spectacular in tho is picking up cards- every game this season(11) they’ve picked up at least 2 and it’s this piece of form I’ll be using as the basis for all 3 tips. I can’t decide on a NAP or NB so I’m splitting evenly what I would put on those across all 3 here. I’m also banking on the home men to net, Sydney have conceded 2+ in their last 3 outings ang haven’t kept a clean sheet in Adelaide since 2018 (6 visits). The reds should be boosted by the return of winger of Craig Goodwin who returns from international duty and he has 6 goals in his last 5 appearances for the reds and should help them in the goals and corners department.
Adelaide to score
Adelaide over 3.5 corners
Adelaide 20+ bp
6/5 bet 365
Each team 20+bp

NURNBERG v Fc Ingolstadt
NURNBERG over 5 corners 4/5
The home side have knocked up 6,6,6,6,7 respectively against teams in the lowly positions in the division . This evening they entertain basement boys ingolstadt, whom are erratic in achieving corners but not in conceding them! 5,6,7,9,7 respectively in their last 5 outings! Exercising a little caution here, bearing in mind its the first game back after a mini break. Smaller stakes, and although I believe NURNBERG are capable of probably another corner , over 6 pays 6/4, I’m happy to stick with the above.
French Championnat National 1800 All games Over 1.5 match goals 13/1

Poland Ekstraklasa.
19:30
Zaglebie Lubin v Legia Warsaw
Zeglebie Lubin over 10 MATCH corners 20/21.
Legia Warsaw over 5 TEAM corners 10/11
Legia Warsaw over 6 TEAM corners 13/8
( if the opportunity arises inplay will add over 9 MATCH corners (4/7 far too short ).
The home side have been reasonably consistent on home corner counts, averaging just over 5 across the board in the league. Sitting below them in the bottom quarter of the division are Legia Warsaw. Result wise it’s a true reflection of a poor season to date, but corner stats totally contradict their current predicament ! Prolific away corner stats against bottom half positioned teams ( 6,10,9,10,14 ) have steadied upon new management installed in October , with recent stats yielding 6,7,5, but these stats are against opponents sitting in the top 8 of division ! Legia are Conceding around 4.5 corners on their travels.
Again exercising a little caution, both sides are returning from a winters break, and Zaglebie installed new management in December!
Six matches I like the look of for tonight:
Marseille v Angers btts 6/5
Hertha Berlin win 6/5
Getafe win EVENS
Arbroath v Kilmarnock btts EVENS
Xamax v Schaffhausen btts 61/100
Konyaspor win EVENS
Six-fold Odds – 61/1
Good luck all tonight!
Hi Guys,
If anyone is doing Greg McLean football bet of the day
The double can be placed at Bet365 at just over EVENS (1.04/1)
and they do the early pay- out for 2 goals ahead.
Good Luck Tonight!!!
Arbroath v Killie- u3 goals and u10 corners 5/1 B365.
South America opens up it’s footballing doors a little wider tonight and there’s plenty to go at!
After a fair bit of deliberation, I can’t but ignore this one in Peru and reckon the bookies have written off the away side’s chance of scoring far to easily…

Looked at that one Macca – remember when Caballero were in the top flight before a few sessons ago now mind.
For what it’s worth, newly promoted sides tend to get off to good starts in the Primera!
