Fridays top tips

After two bumper nights of European fixtures, there's no football feast for punters today but we still have a few intriguing matches to tuck into.

The one EFL Championship match promises to be a tasty Lancashire hotpot as Blackburn Rovers bid to move into the play-off places with a win over Preston North End.

Six successive wins across  November and December had fans at Ewood Park dreaming of promotion but Rovers have since won just two of their last 10 in all competitions.

Blackburn need to get back on track but it won't be easy against a Preston side who are now just five points behind them in the table.

Blackburn Rovers vs Preston North End top betting tips

Lancashire derbies in the EFL Championship have been fiery affairs this season, with heaps of cards dished out in the games between Blackburn, Preston and Burnley.

The 0-0 draw between these sides at Deepdale was particularly ill-tempered, with two reds and nine yellows dished out on the day, while Preston's Milutin Osmajic was retrospectively banned for biting Owen Beck.

Bad blood could be lingering, so over 52.5 booking points looks good at 6/5 with Betfred. Osmajic will be a target for the boo boys after what happened in the last meeting and the Montenegrin is 9/4 at BoyleSports to go into the book.

The half-time draw is always a good option for a derby match and that bet pays 20/21 tonight.

Falkirk vs Livingston top betting tips

There's a big game in the SPFL Championship tonight as well as leaders Falkirk take on third-placed Livingston.

It looked like Livi were going to push the Bairns all the way for the title when they beat John McGlynn's side 1-0 at Almondale in mid-November.

But a run of three successive defeats across the festive period cost the Lions dear, and they now trail Falkirk by four points, having played a game more.

That means Livingston need to go for the win tonight, so I'm expecting a better spectacle than the 0-0 draw we saw on their last trip to the Falkirk Stadium.

Over 2.5 goals looks decent at 10/11 with BoyleSports and combining that with BTTS boosts the odds to 13/10.

Falkirk always play on the front foot so over 6.5 Bairns corners also appeals at 11/10.

Leganes vs Rayo Vallecano top betting tips

Rayo Vallecano are enjoying an excellent season in La Liga and a win tonight away to Leganes would lift them above Mallorca into sixth.

Nobody was expecting much from Rayo after they finished just one place above the drop zone last term but young head coach Inigo Perez has them flying high.

Perez's side have lost just once in their last 10 games but face a tricky task against a Leganes side who have hit form since the turn of the year.

Leganes are unbeaten in five in all competitions, a run that has included a win over Atletico Madrid and a draw with fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao.

They kept clean sheets in both those games so that's why under 2.5 goals is just 1/2 at BoyleSports. But four of Rayo Vallecano's last five matches have seen over 2.5 goals so that bet appeals more to me at 6/4.

It was a 1-1 draw when these sides faced off earlier in the season and the half-time stalemate also looks good here at 20/23.

Friday's Super Singles

  • Over 52.5 booking points in Blackburn v Preston 6/5 Betfred.
  • Over 6.5 Falkirk corners 11/10 BoyleSports
  • Over 2.5 goals in Leganes v Rayo Vallecano 6/4 BoyleSports

    Sad to see so many regulars drift away from the site in the last six months or so.

    Lots of the best tipsters like Hull and Crane have vanished and even those who still post like Macca don’t do so nearly as often.

    Shame as Paul worked hard to build up a brilliant community and would be saddened at how it’s slid. Fair play to columnists and admins for trying to keep it going, but it’s down to us, the members to try and kick it on again.

    Hopefully folk will read this and maybe give it a wee bit more of an effort moving forward. Think we would all be sad if the site was lost for good and would all miss it.

    Cheers all. And for today, Falkirk to win and btts at 5/2 looks good to me.

      I’d post more often but logging in is a joke now, put your details in then verify your human then have to put details in again. I was going to post goals in the Racing game last night in Argentina but the logging in process was annoying so didn’t bother. No point putting tips up when you have to keep logging in to see the comments.

      Think that was to cut bots and cyber attacks on the site. Agree it’s a pain but probably the only way to stop the site being hauled down or full of spam.

      Think because u need to be logged in to see comments people come to the site and see 0 comments and think I won’t bother. But then again as I wrote this I got a pop up saying I’d won a competition on Google which is clearly a scam so maybe something else at play.

    The Karlsruhe game looks primed for goals yet again. They’re away at Elversberg who’ve seen 42 goals in their 10 home matches, Karlsruhes 10 aways have seen 34 goals.

    Both teams to score 2+ could be a decent punt if the price is any good or both to score in both halves? I’ll get a price when I’m over at the shovel.

    Should goals in both Bundesliga 2 games tbf & BTTS & o2.5gls double pays 2.33/1

      Should be corners too Deano, all 4 are averaging 10+ match corners. Elversberg matches are touching 13, think both sides had 6 in their match last weekend away at Koln

    Totally agree with comments Re

    Loss of regulars
    Site management issues (long time now)
    NEVER A PROFIT LOSS shown week/month/year

    Look at ATR etc, all tipsters have a running strike rate yet we get drizzle rizzle (not personal) giving us his great write ups but no accountability.

    Solution is simple;

    Any ‘tipsters’ of any sport must be held accountable by displaying P/L on ever post.

    Allow punters to post pics (of wins /near misses etc)

    I have a lot more but that’s why I get paid well to increase sales for large companies.

    This site needs updated to encourage subscribers & interaction by way of a performance visibility…. You don’t bet a football team without checking their form/league position!!!!?????

    Lots of great input from normal guys like me just gets lost in this 2001 word press site.

    Speculating to accumulate is the name of the game, no?

    If you’re paid to post show your operations, allow punters to have a fantasy league style engagement. Simple stuff.

    I can do it all, at a price! You have my email…

    I want Mr Fixit to carry on! Deary me – delahunt hasn’t had a footy coupon up in 2 years yet still gets to write up on DR every Saturday 🤬 mental.

    Good luck all , peace out & fill yer boots on falkirk bairns tonight
