It could be a defining weekend in the Championship where four of the top five meet each other.
Coventry and Fulham square up on Saturday at lunchtime but first up tonight is league leaders West Brom's visit to Stoke City.
The Baggies have recovered from a little wobble, where they drew three in a row, to win their next two and reclaim top spot. A win would keep them ahead of the chasing pack.
Hosts Stoke have done well to break in to the top six but most of their points have been won against teams in the bottom half of the table and they were well beaten by promotion favourites Fulham in August.
West Brom appeal at 23/20.
In Scotland Edinburgh City have inexplicably been on the drift ahead of their match against Cowdenbeath. Having opened up at 7/10 they're now much more backable at 19/20. The capital club seem to put their poor early season form behind them and have 10 of the last 12 points available to them.
Cowdenbeath prop up Scotland's bottom tier and haven't won since the opening day of the season, shipping a league-high 16 goals in the process so it's hard to make a case for them getting anything at Ainslie Park.
Well done to Jamie Kennedy who landed his second winning Goals Acca of the week, this time a 13/2 European four-timer. Don't miss Friday's attempt to beat the bookies which pays 11/2.
Greg also landed a nice winner with his Bet of the Day which paid a tidy 7/4. Friday's Bet of the Day takes in matches in Germany and the Netherlands and pays 5/4.

Spain La Liga 2
20:00 Ponferradina v Valladolid
Ponferradina Win 23/10
Good luck with your bets today
Just the single for me today. Having a flutter on Twente to win away at Gronigen. Inform team against a team struggling. What could go wrong?
FC Twente to win and over 1 goal 3.40.
Going to double it up with Sunderland to win and over 1 goal. Hate backing my own team but the depth of our squad is starting to show. Playing against a pompey team that haven’t won in 7. Think Ross Stewart will cause them problems. We’re not overly relying on Mcgeady anymore, meaning he’s getting more space cos opposition can’t double up on him.
Sunderland to win and over 1 goal is 3.40
The double comes in at 11.55
do any of you know if desmonds tips will be back this week thanks .
Finn harps Dundalk o/2.5mg
Twente win
Posted last night at 4.8/1. It’s closer to 4/1 now but still decent value imo. Good luck
The goals, cards and corners challenge.
A bet I’ve had relative success on PP to enable me to get a free £10 bet for next week.
Last week four of the five picks landed.
Consists of five £10 bets in the same market. Normally odds are around evens. Need 2 of the 5 bets to land (if you count the free bets) to break even and 3 or more of the 5 bets to run a profit for the week.
Bet 1
Tuesday, 20.00
Dortmund v Sporting
3+ goals, 3+cards and 6+corners
11/10, Paddy Power
***LOST***
0/1, poor start. Maybe should have seen the warning signs with doubts over Haaland’s fitness.
Tonight I like the look of two games;
Bet 2
Atalanta v Young Boys, 17.45
3+ goals, 3+ cards and 6+ corners
10/11, Paddy Power
***LOST***
Bet 3
Man United v Villareal, 20.00
3+ goals, 3+ cards and 6+ corners
11/10, Paddy Power
***WINNER***
A late, late Ronaldo goal gets us off the mark this week.
Bet 4
Koln v Greuther Furth, Friday
3+ goals, 3+ cards and 6+ corners

Al arabi v al sadd
I’m expecting a tough game for al sadd in this one but think they’ll win thru eventually. With afif back in the side, bounedjah doing what bounedjah does and just score goals constantly and ayew now chipping in as well it’s a front 3 to be feared in that league and I think they’ll have enough to see off al arabi. Nothing in the way of a nap or nb sized stakes but I like these;
Over 4.5 fh corners
11/10 bet 365
Over 4.5 fh corners/over 0.5fhg
7/5 bet 365
Al sadd to win/score in bh/over 5 match corners
Evens bet 365
I am following website for years but football column never been so quiet! 😏

Paraguayan Segunda Division
Club de mayo to score 4-5 (HILLS) 🇵🇾 NAP/NB double stake.
Apart from the last 2 aways which they blanked they scored in the 8 previous and more importantly.
MAYO scored in all 9 recorded head to heads.
Home team are 2nd and in form so should score which gives BTTS at evens and btts and overs at 13-8 into play.
I’m sticking with the double stake on the away goal only on this occasion.
