ABERDEEN begin life without Stephen Glass tonight and I’m surprised to see them as odds-on favourites for a Pittodrie win over St Johnstone.
McBookie price them at just 4/6 and that’s probably because it was dismal away form that led to Glass getting the boot on Sunday.
St Johnstone are back at the bottom of the table but their form has picked up a bit, losing just one of their last four in the league.
Saints are 21/17 in the double chance market tonight (SBK) and that might be worth a punt as it’s hard to tell how the Dons will react to losing their manager.
This fixture has been dull as dishwater of late, with six of the last seven seeing one goal or fewer.
That makes the half-time draw appealing (evens, Bet365) while McBookie price a one-goal winning margin for either side at 11/8.
There should be more thrills in the Champions League as Real Madrid head to PSG and Manchester City visit Sporting Lisbon.
City’s six group games produced 28 goals while Sporting’s only had two fewer so we could see some fireworks in Portugal.
Over 2.5 goals is just 4/7 at McBookie so I’m going for over 1.5 first-half strikes instead at 31/21 (SBK).
Neither PSG or Real have impressed this term, despite leading their domestic leagues. But they still boast some of the world’s best players and I’m going for the scorer market tonight.
Kylian Mbappe will be out to show why Madrid want to sign him and he’s 5/4 with Ladbrokes for anytime scorer.
Super singles
- One-goal winning margin at Aberdeen (11/8, McBookie)
- Mbappe to score (5/4, Ladbrokes)
McBookie bet builder
- Combining over 1.5 first-half goals in Lisbon with over 2.5 match goals pays 168/100.

Is this generally a league that you’d avoid btts?
Celtic and Rangers win a lot of games to nil but there’s not much between the rest of the teams in the SPFL Premiership, making it decent for BTTS. Ross County have been great value in that market, I’ve cashed in a few times by backing BTTS in their games. Aberdeen were good value for that earlier in the season but that might change now they’ve sacked Stephen Glass. Should come up with HIbs a few times now as Shaun Maloney plays quite risky football
