ITS's a busy old card tonight and there are quite a few games I'm liking the look of in Scotland and on the continent.
In the Scottish Championship I'll be on Falkirk as my NAP for the third time in three weeks as they welcome an out-of-sorts Ayr United. Been very profitable team to back in 2019 and as I mentioned yesterday look great odds double chance.
Rangers travel to Hibs in what should be another cracking match at Easter Road and I like the look of Brest vs Valenciennes for goals in French Ligue 2.
Falkirk vs Ayr United (7.5pm)
It's another Friday night match for Falkirk and like last Friday I'll be on them again to deliver today's NAP as they welcome an Ayr United side who are struggling at the moment.
The Bairns had a brutal start to the season but a busy January transfer window and an overhaul of around a dozen new players has revitalised the club.
To put that into context they collected just 13 points from their opening 19 league matches. A truly awful return for a side who should be challenging for promotion. They have since collected 13 points from their last 7 games and are now 7 games unbeaten (3 wins 4 draws).
They will be full of confidence coming into this and we've been getting great odds on them to win and double chance in 2019 based on how poor they had been during the first half of the season.
In contrast Ayr have had a really disappointing 2019, their title aspirations have all but gone and they have lost 6 of their 8 matches. The bookies have priced them up at evens which I'm delighted about as it means the value again lies with Falkirk
They are more than capable of getting three points but I'm happy to take them double chance again.
Recommended Bets
- Falkirk win or draw
- (4-5, William Hill) (NAP)
- Falkirk goal before 66 mins
- (5-6, bet365)

Hibs vs Rangers (7.45pm)
It's another must-win game for Steven Gerrard's Rangers side and they travel to Easter Road to play a Hibs side whose three-match winning run came to end by Celtic last Saturday in the Scottish Cup.
I like the look of corners here. With Hibs at home they are more than capable of racking up 4 or 5 corners and we all know about Rangers' corner exploits.
Both sides will be going for this and over 10.5 corners has a strong chance of landing.
Recommended Bet
- Over 10.5 corners
- (20-21, BetVictor)

For what feels like the 100th time this season I was one game short again on my usual French first-half goal and over 1.5 match goals. On it again tonight. Shop around (should be around 40-1 and 25-1).
