IT'S the time of the year when English clubs get all excited about Easter and decide to pack in two games in three days.
Championship, League One and League Two clubs are in action with Ayr v Ross County the only game in Scotland.
On the Continent there are a few big games and the usual lower-league fixtures in France and Holland so loads to look at.
It may be Good Friday but it's a bad Friday for me as my full concentration is on Saturday's games and filling my Daily Record pages.
I've picked out a couple of trebles and will add reasoning if I get time early in the afternoon. There are some lunchtime kick-offs down south so beware of that.
Last night my goals double was a loser but Eintracht Frankfurt qualified for the Europa League semis on away goals to land the 18-5 treble I put up last week.
Well done to all the other winners – and check out today's tips from the likes of Greg, Desmond, HullShaker and Scott Allot.
Due to the smaller Saturday card there is no Saturday Super Single shortlist or VIP tips this week.

A cautionary note about Derby’s trip to Birmingham. Both teams need points for opposite reasons. Birmingham’s pts deduction sees them in another potential relegation scrap and Derby have to keep pressure on top finish top 6. Birmingham were doing ok until that points deduction with some good scalps being had. I’d think that any league position above the relegation slots with a little to spare is Birmingham’s aim. They’re a lot more consistent than their previous few campaigns.
Derby are a bit ropey away from home this season and technically, since we have to play Bristol who like us have a game in hand. If Derby win all their games, they’ll finish at least in 6th. ( Provided we do the biz against Bristol ). I think we’re going to be relying on other teams to drop points though. I don’t like the ” this is in our own hands ” situation. We’ve not coped that well with pressure games yet. Rotherham could of been a banana skin but wasn’t, then we had Brentford who made us work to stay in the game and Blackburn scalped us with 2 goals.
I won’t be betting on this game. Clean sheets are still a problem for Derby and it depends on who turns up as to what result comes. I think if I was to steer towards something, then I’d say BTTS is a good possibility and be cautious of the lack of contribution to the corners count that Derby are making. It might be worth a few quid to bet on Birmingham to win more corners and win the race to 3 or 5 corners.
Good luck guys.
Good morning, also a bad Friday for me because we don’t have a bank holiday today
Eerste divisie – Friday
Two bets on Friday with all 4 teams still able to reach or get a better position in the play-offs.
Cambuur v Eindhoven
Both teams have all to play for as place 11 will get you in the play-offs as it stands. Eindhoven saw BTTS in their last 6 games with 4 going over. Cambuur scored 12 goals in their last 3 games with the last 3 going over 2.5
Over 2.75 asian goals @ 1.78
Almere v Telstar
Almere can still finish in 5th place which will give them 2 games less in the play-offs. They are on a 5 game winning streak and scored at least 3 goals in their last 3 home games. With 4 games to go Telstar can get in the play-offs by winning the 4th period. They have been in some high scoring games lately with 3-4, 2-3, 4-2 wins in their last 5 games.

Main bet for me is in the UAE 🇦🇪 Al Jazira entertain bottom dogs Dibba Al Fujairah. Home side are priced up at 1/10 so obviously no value there but backing the away side to find the net in reply could pay dividends.
The home have scored in 19/20 & conceded in 16/20, 15/20 have seen BTTS with 13 of those 15 seeing 3+. 8/12 victories seen them concede also
The away side have scored in 16/20 & conceded in all 20 matches, 16/20 have seen BTTS with 15 of those 16 seeing 3+. 11/14 losses have seen them net in reply.

Shocking stuff inIceland last night and inconceivable to predict a 0-0 draw pre-KO but that’s what it was with Valur playing half the game with only 10 men after a rare 1st half red card scuppered things.
No excuses and I’m as gutted as anyone as I had my money where my mouth was – Jim Burnside, I’ve replied to your comment and wondered when you’d drift back in like a bad fart!
Onwards and hopefully upwards – it’s a great card and plenty to go at but I can’t help think there’s value in a travelling Bury side with a bit of confidence back in their sails as they travel to South Wales…
NEWPORT COUNTY V BURY:
Some shameful stuff still going on behind the scenes at Gigg with staff and players still unpaid although rumours of a 50% pay award (from last month mind!) being subsidised by the EFL late yesterday.
Aside from the desperate financial situation, the one correlation with our sudden dip in form was the loss of playmaker and mazy dribble-king Danny Mayor but he’s back today and could make all the difference against a County side who are pushing hard for a playoff place.
His style of play has been the perfect foil for fellow midfielder Jay O’Shea this season and I wonder if his return could re-open the scoring book for JOS in a tense game that may well feature a penalty as a direct result of Mayor’s many forays into the box.
Two selections:
Bury over 1.5 team goals
6/5, bet365) 2 Points
Jay O’Shea ATGS
(2/1, bet365) 1 Point
Also adding this goals longshot:
West Brom
Newport
Fylde
Leyton Orient
Maidstone
Ashton
York
Chippenham
Over 2.5 match goal 8-fold

Morning all
Happy Easter 🐥🐥
🌟🌟 shortees nap 🌟🌟
I have to admit with it been near end of season and results meaning an awful lot, it has been harder than usual to narrow down my selections from 4/5/6 that I have had on paper but I’ve went with these:
Birmingham v Derby — over 1.5 goals 1/3
Last 4 games each have seen this achieved and that’s 8 in total and last 4 head to head also seen this achieved. Sky bet championship is having A LOT of over 1.5 goals recently and even first half goals also so im happy to take this as last 5 from 7 H2H have seen a 1-0 half time scoreline
Carlisle v Lincoln — Over 1.5 goals 1/3
this was a SERIOUS contender for my nap single at 2.5 goals. Anyway stats wise this is mental. Carlisle last 10 all seen 1.5 achieved. Carlisle last 5 at home all seen BTS and all seen OVER 2.5 Serious record. Lincoln has one of the best away records for grabbing goals and scoring in each of their LAST 10 away. That’s serious stats there and LOOK yourself for extra confidence.
Northampton v Macclesfield — over 1.5 goals 1/3
Pure dog fight this one and last week Northampton got the 2 goals but didn’t concede ffs. They will host the worst defence in the league and Macclesfield have conceded 70 goals and last 10 have seen the 1.5 achieved which speaks volumes. Northampton last 4 in a row have achieved the market and Macclesfield are 2 points clear of the drop and if they want to be safe you have to score goals and its all out attack as Yeovil lie below them and a win for them would move them clear and if Macclesfield lost then they go down to that spot. Don’t care who wins as long as 2 goals.

Swansea and Rotherham been involved in a few “high” scoring games of late. Think the home side with a good record at the Liberty will run out winners here – hopefully with Rotherham also netting. GL all
Lyon v Angers BTTS & Overs 11/10
Was surprised to see this as over Evens. Lyon are in a bit of a mess at the moment losing and conceding 8 in 3 games – with the manager saying he is leaving next year. Angers are scoring and conceding. 3/4 H2Hs have seen BTTS & Overs (BTTS in the other) and 9/last 12 teams games have seen BTTS & Overs.

Mr Bullseye glad you’re on. Any thought she on the boxing over the weekend?
I’ve got Allen straight win and a last leg in a treble also over7.5 rounds @5/6.
Cheers
Yeah thats pretty much spot on. Browne mainly looks for the big shot where Allen has a bit more finesse with head movement and weaving. Allen’s money shot is the overhand right and if it connects on the button the fight can finish at any moment but usually he needs to find the range for it first. He laid out Nick Webb with it and broke Bracamonte’s nose with it leading to the TKO in round 7. I can definitely see Garcia-Granados going over 9. As usual Garcia will be looking for the left but Granados’ chin is decent so it will probably be a points win. Gutted I’m gonna miss the whole UK card as working but my bet is going to be Khan to be knocked down against Crawford 1/3. No explanation necessary 😂 that punch resistance is just non existance and Crawford will time him at some point with a shot. Good luck today mate.
Crawford to catch Khan at some point a certainty Bully/drogers – totally agree.
Plucky fighter is the Bolton lad and his speed will land plenty of lighter strikes in the initial rounds but his natural style just leaves him wide open.
Crawford in rounds 7-9 at 11/4 would be my outside pick. Best of luck!
Any thoughts on* not she
Also Garcia-Granados over 9.5 in a double.
Had Frankfurt and Valencia in last night, waiting on Bristol City, WBA, Barnsley, Exeter, Crewe and Mansfield.

Sheffield United no missing a couple strikers?
I know Billy Sharp is out so Gary Madine will come in. Not sure about the other striker you’re talking about.

Weekend Premier league tips
Man City v Tottenham
Over 3.5 goals at 11/10*****(NAP)
Over 4.5 goals at 12/5
Over 5.5 goals at 5/1
I fully expect City to win this game with some to spare.Having been knocked out midweek they will be looking for revenge and should get it as Spurs can’t play like that two games in a row,City know they can hinder Spurs top four ambitions so will be out to do so.How long can City go before they are good enough to reach a Champions league semi or final.Defence needs sorting.
Wolves v Brighton
Wolves to win at 3/4
Brighton are fighting for their lives (or you would think they should be) but they are playing really poor at the minute and i don’t see how their form is going to change,Wolves job is already done but if they want Europe they need to win and given the price for the homeside and Brightons form i’m taking the home win.
Sunday
Everton v Man Utd
Man Utd to win at 13/10*****(NAP)
This is an absolute must win game for Man Utd,everything hinders on winning this game,by that i mean next seasons European campaign,Player signings and probably the managers job in which my own personal opinion is they made a big mistake bringing in Ole Gunner Solksjaer.Whilst he has the heart of the club in his mind he is not clued up enough to run such a big club,it’s ok knowing how they should play but tactical wise he just isn’t experienced enough at this level,it’s a big risk and one that could put United back years.Everton is not an easy place to go but as i have said United need this game more than anything so you would expect 110% and a result.Bet of the weekend for me this one.
Best of luck

I see the Birmingham/Derby game BTTS came in after just 6 minutes. Birmingham also had 9 corners against Derbys 4, so I’m guessing they won the race to 3 and 5 corners. 2-2 it ended and judging by how the top 8 results are coming, only Sheff Utd and Aston Villa are the big winners.

Had a fiver on A gl & 4 corners each half in the 3pm games at Leeds, WB & Barnsley on Skybet specials at 28/1 that came in so thought ad chance ma luck and stuck ma free fiver on same bet on the late games at Lyon, Norwich & Alaves and thanks to a late Lyon OG on 89 mins that came in tae at 33/1. Hopefully a sign for the long wknd. The way it’s going might stick a fiver on Shef Utd to win the league 😂
Think I may have found a bet for early in the morning in Japan. Gamba Osaka v Oita Trinita.
Gamba have lost their last 4 home games and sit 15th in the league while Oita are flying lately winning their last three away fixtures and are 3rd.
Gamba’s Last five home games have had an average of 4.5 goals, and score an average of 1.75 goals whilst conceding an average of 2.75 goals a game.
I reckon o2.5 4/5, BTTS 8/13 and Oita win 12/5! are all overpriced imo. O2.5 & BTTS is evens too.
I might be missing something but it’s worth a punt.
