football handicap betting tips

Bristol City have tumbled out of the top six in the EFL Championship and will be desperate to get back on track away to Watford tonight.

The Robins were on song after three wins on the spin but they've since suffered back-to-back defeats against Stoke and Blackburn.

That has seen them drop down to seventh and it won't be easy responding against a Hornets side who have picked up some form.

Watford vs Bristol City top betting tips

Watford sit in 12th place but a win tonight would move them level on points with Bristol City and they head into the game in decent spirits.

Javi Gracia has lost just two of his five games since returning to the helm and they've banked four points from their last two outings.

With Bristol City coming off the back of two defeats, backing a Watford win could pay off tonight and it's priced at 11/10 with BOYLE Sports.

Hornets stopper Kevin Keben shares the enthusiasm of his near namesake and has picked up three yellow cards in his last four games. I would love it, just love it, if he picked up another card tonight at odds of 9/2 but I'm not sure if he'll start after missing the midweek draw with Ipswich.

The Robins haven't picked up any cards in their last two matches so I'm going to bet against both teams having two or more cards at 8/13. Adding on under 4.5 match cards boosts the odds to 4/5.

Airdrieonians vs Partick Thistle

There's a game in the SPFL Championship as well tonight as bottom club Airdrieonians bid to put the brakes on Partick Thistle's title push.

The Diamonds are still without a permanent manager after Danny Lennon's ill-fated reign was brought to end after just a few months in charge.

Stand-in boss Aaron Taylor-Sinclair managed to halt their 12-game winless run but Airdrie were outclassed last weekend in a 3-0 loss to leaders St Johnstone.

Partick sit just three points behind Saints at the top so it's no surprise to see them as 8/15 hot favourites tonight.

The Jags won 5-0 against Queen's Park in their last outing so backing them at -1 in the handicap could pay off tonight at 6/4 with BOYLE Sports.

Logan Chalmers has been a huge threat for Thistle all season, chipping in with eight goals, and he's a decent 7/4 for anytime scorer tonight.

Elche vs Real Sociedad

The pick of tonight's European action sees Real Sociedad travel to Elche for an intriguing La Liga match.

Sociedad are on a high after their derby victory over Athletic Bilbao while Elche have gone four without a win in the league after starting in style while with a seven-match unbeaten run.

The momentum appears to be with the Basques after three successive wins in all competitions and they look worth a punt tonight at odds of 9/5 with BOYLE Sports. Sociedad are also decent value at 10/11 just to win either half.

The caveat is that Elche are unbeaten at home this season and Sociedad's rivals Bilbao could only draw 0-0 on their visit.

BTTS has only landed in one of Elche's last four games so try betting against that tonight at 10/11 with BOYLE Sports.
