Friday doesn't offer much from a betting perspective. Such is the dearth of action that we need to dip in to the English League 1 for some live football.
Oxford's Kassam Stadium is the destination for the Sky Sports cameras as United host Lincoln City. Both sides are struggling for form but Lincoln's draw with Sunderland on Saturday kept them in touch with the top three. Tolu doesn't expect it to be a classic in his match preview and suggests that there won't be much between the side.
Early on Friday there's action in Australia, where Melbourne City welcome Western Sydney Wanderers in a match live on BT Sport. The A-League always generates some interest on the site so it's great to have Tolu cover this one for us too.
The World Cup qualifiers come around again on Saturday but it's Sunday before England and Scotland are back in action.
Gareth Southgate's men got their campaign off to a comfortable if unspectacular start with a 5-0 win over San Marino while John McGinn got Scotland out of jail with a stunning overhead kick to level the score at Hampden Park and I make no apologies for re-posting it here :)

Friday's Racing Tips
Alan Thomson continued his excellent form, nailing a 7-2 nap yesterday and has four bets on ‘finals day' at Musselburgh
Good luck with all your bets on Friday!
In December 2020 we sadly 
No European World Cup qualifiers tomorrow (decide yourself if thatās good news or bad news) however Iāve found a couple of games in both the Dutch and Portuguese second divisions that I like the look of.
MVV vs Almere City
Both teams to score
Estoril Praia vs UD Oliveirense
Estoril to win
Double pays
1.31/1 (Betway)
Full reasoning on both games below šš¼
MVV vs Almere City
Eerste Divisie š³š±
Friday 25th March, 17:45 ā°
MVV have scored in 12 of their 14 home games this season including their last 5 on the bounce.
MVV have conceded in 11 of their 14 home games this season.
Both teams have scored in 9 of MVVās 14 home games including in 4 of their 5 games against the top 8.
Almere have scored in 13 of their 14 away games this season scoring a league high 36.
Almere have conceded in 13 of their 14 away games this season conceding 31, no side in the top half have conceded more.
Both sides have scored in 12 of Almereās 14 away games including all 8 against bottom half sides.
14th placed MVV host 3rd placed Almere in what promises to be a high scoring game. With Almere scoring plenty they should be able to find the net at least once. However they struggle to keep clean sheets on the road and with MVV on a good run of form at home, I can see them also netting.
Estoril Praia vs UD Oliveirense
LigaPro šµš¹
Friday 26th March, 20:00 ā°
Estoril have won 7 of their 12 home games this season losing only 1.
Estoril are unbeaten in their 6 home games against bottom half sides winning 4.
Estoril have won their last 6 league games on the bounce including their last 3 at home.
Oliveirense have only won 3 of their 12 away games this season losing 6.
Oliveirense have lost 5 of their 6 away games against top half sides.
Oliveirense have failed to win any of their last 6 games losing 4, including their last 3 away from home.
Top of the table Estoril will look to go 12 points clear and make it 7 wins on the bounce. They face an Oliveirense side that are third bottom and who are winless in their last 6 and losing their last 3 away. Looking at the stats here the home side should be able to take all 3 points and get one step closer to promotion to Liga NOS.

Friday š¦šŗ A league tips
Todayās match sees Melbourne city take on Western Sydney Wanderers. Both sides come into this in good form, WSW have won their last 3, while city are one or the 2 sides in the best form alongside Adelaide at the moment winning their last 5. The 2 sides met at the start of this month with city prevailing 2-0 with a double from Jamie mclaren and I expect to see something along similar lines happen again- city to win, score 2+ and mcclaren to net. The wanderers do most of their best work away from home and have only lost once away all season but I think the men from Melbourne should have enough to take the 3ptd here, and as theyāve been keeping clean sheets of late in a similar sort of fashion to their parent club from Manchester then if they score 2 that should be enough for the points. Adding a wsw card to my nap to boost the price, as theyāve still not managed a game without one and have a few candidates good for a yellow.
For the nb itās the aforementioned Jamie mcclaren to find the net as well as a bet from the Qatar cup final. Mcclaren is in great form netting 11 in 11 games this season, with 8 of those coming in the 5 game win streak city are on.
In Qatar I like al rayyan to take care of al sailiya in the cup final. Also on a 5 match win streak they should have too much for todayās opponents and while it wonāt be a rout I expect them to just shade it against a side whose only win in the last 5 was in last weeks semi.

Super League Rugby returns on Sky Sports tonight to provide a very welcome break from international football!!
If you’re never watched it or don’t have any knowledge or interest in it just give it a go while football is quiet. You won’t regret it!
Not only is it a rapid, hard hitting, non-stop 80 minutes of action but it also provides some great value and a variety of betting angles!
Wingers score tries and these are 2 of the most prolific in the league. That’s the only information you need.
St Helens v Salford 6pm
Regan Grace anytime @ 5/6
2+ tries @9/2
3+ tries @19/1
Tommy Makinson anytime @ 1/1
2+tries @6/1
3+tries @25/1
I’m expecting a try a piece for these lads with anything else a bonus.
Good luck š
on it ,
how much your putting for anytime tries
Kevin Naiqama has scored two hat tricks in previous meetings against Salford Iām on the following trio of bets which are decent value
Anytime try @ evens
Score a brace @ 7/2
Score a hat trick @ 20/1
Also, some value can be found in super league new boys Leigh on what would of been a tremendous atmosphere should crowds be allowed against local rivals and the biggest draw in rugby Wigan, Wigan have a few players out and Leigh +10 represents value at 10/11 for me
Kiran I’ll be splitting my pot as such;
35% each on the any time tries
10% each on 2+
5% each on 3+
That way both scoring once gives an overall profit. Fingers crossed for a couple of early ones š¤
Regan Grace anytime 5/6ā
Tommy Makinson anytime 1/1 ā
Main bets land for a good start to the season š
Good info keep it up.

Dc John boy no disrespect but just give up
Every time I look on here for the past 2/3 years
At your tips you post losers and a few times Iāve followed
Just give up. Numerous amount of times. Serious. No thought. Just silly betting, chasing, no research.
Av won a few Bob following his picks..wheres your tips?
Dc has had some cracking bets win,I for one have taken some of his tips and won.I think you will find a lot of tipsters are having a rough time this year given the circumstances.No need to pull anyone down especially from someone who doesnāt post a tip.
Couldnāt agree more macca , the irony is DC put a winner up two posts before if Iām not wrong, and 2 goals away from a 48/1 winner. Takes a bit of bottle to put your own tips up on here win or lose , and I have massive respect for anyone who does so through nothing more than the love of betting, football, and this forum.
Will eagerly await your nap for tomorrow plums š
Just the one winner out the 4 draws and that was at 2/1,small loss over all but only small stakes for interest nothing worth napping today,what i have noticed though is there are loads of goals being scored in the AFCON qualifiers,a lot more than usual,i reckon that’s down to the footballing situation around the world at present.Some games your getting 5/1 for over 1.5 first half goals and the over 2.5 goals market some games have been 9/4 and finished with 5 goals.

Saturday morning š¦šŗ A league tips
Tomorrow sees top take on bottom in the first match as the mariners face Melbourne victory. Iāll keep this brief for this one- victory are an absolute shambles from top to bottom at the moment and anything other than a mariners win would be shock of the season in my eyes. Victory have 1 win in their last 14 away games, and have conceded 17 goals in their last 4 games, and still canāt get their strongest XI on the park. Mariners now have the rest of the top 6 breathing down their neck due to games in hand and recent form and know 3pts is a must from this game as 4 of their next 5 games are against those sides in the top half. Mariners to win and score 2+ for me. Second up sees Perth take on the Newcastle jets. Banged the drum for both sides this season for various markets- Perth glory games for goals and the jets for corners, but Iām giving both those a swerve tomorrow and just going for the straight Perth win. Neither are in great form but the jets have lost their last 4 games, while glory have only lost once at home to top of the league mariners, and with the travel and everything involved with a trip to the other side of Australia I think the home men win this.

6Nations – France v Scotland
Final game in Paris to decide the championship after the games was rescheduled due to the French Covid outbreak. This game should never have been moved for me and France should have been punished and Scotland awarded the win but here we are. Lots of equations but France need to win by 21 points and with a bonus point to win the championship. I donāt see that happening and recent history suggests it also. I always back is to win but will be tough so instead Iāll be on the 15 point handicap and with rain pouring now gives me more confidence. Taking either hooker to score as well as the rain means the forwards will be heavily involved:
Scotland +15 handicap (NAP)
Julien Marchand anytime try @ 13/5
George Turner anytime try @ 4/1

Another Oscar Tip:
Best Original Screenplay: Promising Young Woman at 10-11 William Hill
This has been priced wrongly odds will shorten on this. Skybet going 4-11.
No luck once again tonight with Almere not scoring, no matter how much research I do just absolutely nothing clicking right now which is extremely demoralising. Apologies to those who followed.
Fortunes will soon change gregg you can tell you do your research pal š
