The Scottish Cup takes centre stage in Scotland this weekend and it kicks-off tonight at New Douglas Park, Hamilton where Premiership side Hearts are the visitors.
The Accies looked doomed just over a month ago, defeat at Ayr Utd left them six points adrift at the foot of the Championship table and 10 points from the safety of 8th place. But they've gone on a run of six unbeaten which has seen them close the gap to three points, secure a place in Scottish Challenge Cup final and get the better of Premiership side Ross County in the Scottish Cup.
So they'll be in confident mood ahead of the Jambos' visit to South Lanarkshire.
Hearts last lifted the trophy in 2012 but have reached the final in three of the last four seasons, losing to Celtic (twice) and Rangers at the final hurdle. You wouldn't back against them making it to the Hampden showpiece in June once more. They're 8/1 on the outright market and as long as they can avoid the two Glasgow giants it's not a bad each-way bet.
Despite Hamilton's recent upturn in form Hearts should swot them aside. Skipper and top scorer Lawrence Shankland is suspended after seeing red in their 3-0 win over Hibs in the previous round but the Jam Tarts should have enough in reserve to progress.
Hearts are just 2/5 to win but there are a few potential ways to approach this one. Hearts/Hearts on the half-time/full-time market are 6/5 but Hamilton could prove stubborn to break down.
Although they're unbeaten in six Accies still aren't scoring many so a Hearts win to nil appeals a bit more at 5/4.
In the Championship the Sky Sports cameras are at St Andrew's tonight for the midlands derby between Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion.
Baggies boss Carlos Corberán has distanced himself from speculation surrounding him becoming the next Leeds United manager but it's a testament to the job he's done at the Hawthorns since taking over in October that he's already being linked to high-profile positions in the top flight.
His side got back to winning ways at Coventry last weekend following defeat to league leaders Burnley and a disappointing FA Cup exit at the hands of Bristol City.
It's now all about promotion and taking points from games like tonight's.
Birmingham secured just their second win in eight thanks to two late, late goals in a 4-3 win over Swansea at the weekend but they've struggled against teams currently in the top 10 – the only one they've beaten is tonight's opponents, but that was when West Brom were struggling earlier in the season.
Corberán's revitalised men look a good option tonight at 11/10.

Shame seeing so few write up’s nowadays,it was great getting local knowledge on some games ,especially from a couple of guys who were really good with their info on the Aussie A league,hope it builds up again,
Good luck anyway guys.
There’s a definite downturn in the no of folk contributing recently.
Going to sound like a dig probably is but In my opinion the whole site needs modernising, used to be my go to site for tips but hardly bother looking these days. Same old tipsters with a huge focus on Scottish football and some of them with their own page like Desmond well I would dread to think what the profit and loss looks like, maybe an area this place could improve show the p/l of tipsters?
Such a shame that it’s been left to get to this state.
N Aspinall v P Wright Darts Prem League 7.45
Not much footie on tonight going to have a punt on the darts. Watch a bit of darts I fancy Aspinall to win this on current form and recent H2Hs. Aspinall+2 legs first to six a think has a good chance.
Aspinall+2 legs 5/6 ladbrokes Good luck Guys 👍👍👍👍 final score 3-6
Schalke v Wolfsburg 7.30 German Bundesliga
Fancy Wolfsburg here they sliped up in their last two games, one of them was against Bayern and the still scored two. The play bottom of the table Schalke who have let in 11 in their last 5 games. Wolfsburg be hoping to get back on track the night this could be the perfect place to go.
Wolfsburg score 2+tgls 19/20 GoodLuckGuys

LOST – A goal short in Cyprus.
Two Main bets for the weekend and a few side bets
Leeds v Man Utd (Sunday)
Leeds double chance at 5/6 (NAP)
Over 3.5 goals at 13/8
Liverpool v Everton
Draw at 10/3 (NAP) Monday
Under 2.5 goals at 11/10
Jordan Pickford to be carded at 5/1 (Super Banker)
We all know Liverpool’s form hasn’t been great but there is light at the end of the tunnel as Diogo Jota could feature in this match and to add to that Diaz, Van Djik and Firminho are all close to returning. This game would still be a tight game even if Liverpool were firing on all four cylinders, add to that Everton are now a Sean Dyche team then the word tight goes up a notch. Everton had a remarkable win against Arsenal in their last outing but this game represents a tougher test as it’s played at Anfield there will be no hiding place and the Liverpool players won’t get away with not turning up, i don’t envisage many goals here (if any) so the under 2.5 line appeals hell of a lot i could Nap that but i’m quite confident on draw being played out. Jordan Pickford also appeals to be booked as Everton will run the clock down as per.
Sat

Wolves to win at 31/20

Nice v Ajaccio
France for me tonight. Nice have been in great form since changing their manager at start of the year, won 4 drawn 1. They went to Marseille last week and won 3-1. Ajaccio are pretty much the opposite, last 6 games won 1 lost 5. Conceded 15 in those 6, though 7 were to Monaco. Their win was against bottom of the league, who were also down to 10 men. Ajaccio missing a couple of key players as well, including recent captain who is suspended
Nice to win and 2+ goals, 11/10 at bet365
I think Nice win at 4/7 makes a solid selection for double /acca as well
Good luck all
Afternoon gents,
West Midlands for me tonight…
BIRMINGHAM VS. WEST BROM (8.00pm)
Derby games very rarely anything but tight and think this one will be exactly that – I’m thinking cards, corners and potentially a 90 minute draw result could be the way:
BOTH TEAMS TO RECEIVE 1+ CARD
OVER 9.5 MATCH CORNERS
(6/5, bet365) NAP ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
BOTH TEAMS TO RECEIVE 2+ CARDS
OVER 9.5 MATCH CORNERS

FULL TIME RESULT = DRAW
BOTH TEAMS TO RECEIVE 2+ CARDS
OVER 9.5 MATCH CORNERS

A longshot as Larne only conceded 4 at home in 12 games.
Glenavon like scoring and conceding in equal measure though 41-46 in 24 games.
Glenavon scored in 16 of last 17 away games and 4 head to head here in last 2 seasons were
2-1. 2-1. 3-2. 1-1
Prediction 2-1

Best bet of the weekend easily West Brom victory tonight at evens bet365. Marc Allbrighton was some signing for them on loan he made an excellent debut last week Brandon Tomas Asante back from 3 match ban on the bench is another useful tool to have. This West Brom side beat these easy tonight imo. No need to go into stats on the Baggies think it’s 10 wins in last 13 dance C.C took over from Steve Bruce.
Sheff Wed tomorrow at 12/5 is the one for tomorrow if this one goes in tonight
