Southampton's club-record 25-game unbeaten run came to an end at Bristol City on Tuesday and boss Russell Martin will be aiming for his side to bounce right back at West Bromwich Albion this evening.
That defeat saw the Saints surrender second place to Leeds United but Martin was philosophical in the aftermath, preferring to focus on how his side will respond than dwell on the loss.
It doesn’t come much more difficult than a trip to the Hawthorns at the moment, where West Brom have won five on the spin the league, keeping four clean sheets in the process. Only Huddersfield and runaway league leaders Leicester City have won there this season in the Championship.
The Baggies are bang in contention for the Play-Offs, sitting fifth, four points ahead of Coventry City but there’s a list of clubs down to 10th who are chasing, so they need to keep ahead of the pack.
Southampton were 2-1 winners when the sides met at St Mary’s and the bookies make them favourites tonight at 11/8 with the hosts at 19/10 but it’s the draw that appeals in this one, with a share of the spoils perhaps suiting both sides.
Southampton could find it difficult to pick themselves up again whilst West Brom would no doubt settle for a point against one of the top three sides in the league so far.
Raith Rovers went five points clear of Dundee Utd when they won 1-0 at Tannadice back on December 16th but it’s been a tale of woe ever since.
Just one win in the next six has followed, meaning United can go seven points ahead of Rovers if they win at Starks Park tonight.
It’s been a spectacular collapse by Ian Murray’s side who have also crashed out of the Scottish Cup and Challenge Cup in that period.
United have stuttered a bit themselves but not on the road where they remain unbeaten (W9 D2) and have conceded just three goals in the league.
Based on current form the bet has to be with the league leaders at 19/20.

Did you see any darts .Must be one of the worst sports to view live.I was in the VIP area at Aberdeen a few years back never seen much too far away.
Only missed it 3 times since it started Alva,love the darts despite the lottery of a good view. Grew up watching it on caravan holidays 😂
Fram Reykjavik vs IR Reykjavik
Over 3.5mgs @ 6/5 (bet365) Nap
Over 1.5 FHG @ 6/5 (bet365)
( Can be combined in a bet builder for 2/1 for anyone looking for bigger odds )
Like the look of this game for goals. Has been plenty in Iceland the last few weeks and very few games see a lack of them. Premier league Fram take on division 1 IR but expect both teams to contribute.
Since restarting in the cup games at the start of January Fram have played 4 and seen 20 goals in those games with over 3.5mgs landing in each. IR have played 5 and seen 26 goals, only one game seeing two goals. The over 2.5mgs @ 1/2 is a good price for any goals acca in my opinion.
Over 2.5mgs @ 9/5 (bet365) in the four listed cup games tonight appeals quite strongly and il have a stake on that too.
Good luck 🤞
Looks a good shout Bigwigg – was tempted with btts 2nd half at 6/4 for the Nap. Good luck 👍
Sat
Brentford v Liverpool

League of Ireland season kicks off tonight, my team Bohemians are not fancied for much this year but let’s hope we get off to a good start.
St. Patricks Athletic look good value at 7/5 to get an away win at Galway. The recently promoted side have good form at home but stepping up to the premier division it’ll be a tough test against Pats who will be battling for the title.
Elsewhere not much value around. I’ll be having a punt on Bohs at home to Sligo but that is purely out of bias.
As always good luck to all :D
