SCOTT ALLOT'S stint in the hotseat ended with a Super Single winner thanks to Portsmouth.
He was unlucky with his Top Treble that was beaten by Liechtenstein surprisingly scoring as they lost in Macedonia.
Thanks again to Scott for looking after things while I was away and well done to all Saturday's winners including HullShaker with a full house of goals tips from Bolivia.
I've returned to a quiet card with really just the Nations League games to look at including Poland v Italy, Russia v Turkey and Israel v Albania.
There's no getting away from the fact these games are glorified international friendlies – as illustrated perfectly by Croatia v England the other night.
There are also the real friendlies and that means having a look at Scotland v Portugal. I was on a ferry back from Zeebrugge on Thursday night so missed the defeat in Israel.
P&O had already subjected as to an 80s disco night and bingo so reckoned showing the Scotland game was a step too far.
Going by reports it was a dire display and it's unlikely to get any better against Portugal even if they are minus stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Bernardo Silva.
Skipper Andy Robertson will be the only first-choice defender in the line-up and inexperienced Aberdeen duo Mikey Devlin and Scott McKenna are likely to be in central defence.
If Portugal are serious about this friendly they'll win it and I'm tempted to do them as a hefty Super Single at just below evens but before doing that I want to see their starting line-up.
For now I'm going Portugal draw no bet and adding Russia not to lose at home to Turkey and Kosovo draw no bet at the Faroes. Russia have continued their World Cup form with some decent results and should win while progressive nation Kosovo have started the Nations League with seven points from three games and shouldn't lose here.
It's not the most ambitious of trebles but I'm simply easing myself back in this week ahead of the return of league action. And as they say a win's a win.

Good morning gents,
Any insight on the San Jose game in Bolivia this evening @Hullshaker?
I see they hammered the opposition 8-0 on home turf a few months back. A few more goals today maybe?
Morning Phil – goals look the way but my dearly beloved Bolivian league has moodswings wider than Mrs Hull on a full moon so watch out 👍
Cheers hull, this is true as it can be seen by looking at the H2H’s.
Can go either way.
San Jose look imperious at home but I don’t think there’s much value in the prices with 3 home team goals still comfortably odds on – just my two cents!
4 fold for me today bankbuilding

What do you mean by score and win? Both Tams To Score and Result, or specific players? Forgive me if I’ve overlooked something, but the winning team has to score in order to win …
Like those Mr h – btts paddy andselection to win.
Here’s hoping for a decent Sunday Al, lowest double in the trixie is 15/2 🤞
Paddy any winning team has to score too win yes but this bet needs the losing team too score to 👍🏻 good luck
It will be win and both to score.
Used this as my main quadruple, 3 home sides (1 down, Sparta 2 up) win only with Portugal first half win making a 10-1 long shot.
Morning gents,
It’s been a dire week so was pleased as punch to land the Bolivian goal gamble last night – the
4-2 scoreline secured all 3 winners at 17/20, 2/1 and 9/2…hoping to continue that form today with a game that could provide an early Christmas present…
CARTAGENA VS. SANTA ROSA (1800 KO):
Delving down into the 2nd tier of Costa Rican football in search of goals here and it’s a game that holds all the ingredients; both home form and historical H2H’s indicate we could be in for a cracker as Santa roll into town!
The two sides have met 11 times over the course of the last 26 months giving an average of a meeting every 15 weeks and making these H2H stats relevant, recent and reflective of potential outcomes.
In time order, starting with the most recently played, those last 11 games have seen 3-5-7-6-3-3-5-1-5-4-3 match goals with Cartagena scoring 2-4-4-4 teams goals in the most recent 4 since September 2017.
Form-wise, Cartagena are without a loss in 13 and will be looking to consolidate top spot with a win against a Santa outfit who sit in mid-table obscurity – the hosts are in fine scoring form having hit the net 3-4-1-5-4-3-2-0-3-5 times in their last 10 successive games and may just have too much for the travelling side.
Two selections to consider:
OVER 3.5 MGS…6/4

Romania btts & overs 15/8
From a personal standpoint, it’s one of the most unappetising Sunday cards that I can remember. Until I stumbled upon the Serie C games in Italy, I hadn’t planned to have a bet. However, there is a squeak of value for goals in these leagues if you can find the right games. One or two have stood out – but I’m keeping stakes low.
Novara were relegated from Serie B last season and look to have started the season in good form. They scored 5 goals in two away Coppa Italia games to Serie B opposition, while a 1-1 draw and 0-3 away win in Piacenza mean they have started the league campaign well, too. They visit Carrarese today, a side whose opening 5 games have all gone O2.5 Match Goals (a real rarity in this neck of the footballing woods). BTTS has landed in 4 of those 5 and I think this one should see goals.
The second game actually initially stood out more than the above. Albissola’s form is superficially dire having lost all four of their league games, while a 2-2 draw and 2-0 defeat in cup action hardly inspire confidence in them. However, I’m taken by their home form. Maybe their ultras are particularly boisterous, but either way something clearly gets them going at home. They have scored twice in all three home games this season (2-2, 2-3, 2-3), compared to just the 1 goal in 3 away games. Their home form when promoted from Serie D last season was also impressive, (17 games, 13 wins, 1 defeat, 36 goals scored).
Visitors Piacenza have a muddling formbook to tackle, with 2-0, 3-4 and 3-0 wins halted by the formerly mentioned Novara last time out. I fancy them to score here against Albissola’s defence, but the fact Piacenza have twice conceded 3 goals already this season should encourage Albissola at home.
Half Stake:
Carrarese v Novara
Albissola v Piacenza
O1.5 Match Goals Double @ 87/100 (SkyBet)
Small Stake:
BTTS & O2.5 Match Goals Double @ 6/1 (Bet365)

LINFIELD WOMEN VS. CRUSADERS WOMEN (1300 KO):
Won’t trot out much in the way of reasoning and it’s by no means anything more than an interest bet but Linfield could be looking to sign off in style with a goals tally to match the last home H2H scoreline of 7-0.

NOT much of a card today but I do feel there is value to be had in UEFA nations matches. There are two matches I like the look of
Faroe Islands v Kosovo (5pm)
One of the big success stories in international football this year has to be the rise of Kosovo – They only became a FIFA member two years ago and their inclusion in the Nations league has seen them prosper as they have two wins and a draw from their three matches so far. Looking back further, over the last 12 months they have won 6 of their last 7 games
When you look at where these players play their club football, it gives you an idea just how good these players are (Lazio, Weder Breman, Genk, Brondby) a far cry from the level most of their opponents today play their trade.
They’ve already beaten this Faroe side 2-0 at home and I feel they have more than enough quality to do the double. Confidence must be sky at the moment as they look to hit 10 points and win their 7th match rom their last 8
Recommended Bets
Kosovo to beat Faroe Islands
10/11 (Ladbrokes) (NAP)
Lithuania v Montenegro (KO 7.45pm)
The good people of Lithuania must think I have something against them as I’m tipping them to get beat yet again, They’ve been poor in this nations league and power puff in attack.
They finally managed a goal in the 90th minute against Romania on Thursday only to lose a goal in the final minute to go down 1-2. Their 14th defeat in their last 17 games.
The visitors went down to two Mestrovic goals against Serbia but this will be much easier and I expect them to inflict yet another defeat on this poor Lithuania side

Anyone on here from Scotland??
I put up some team news earlier – it’s Hendry and McKenna in central defence and not Devlin and McKenna but just as bad.
A young, inexperienced team apart from Naismith really and the result is down to Portugal’s attitude.
Anyway I’m heading to the office so will see the game there.
Aye me!
Aye son where all Jock Thamson’s bairns what’s up Mac?
Any team news on the Scotland friendly???the price of Portugal is massive and it’s tempting me to pile on it but don’t want to do that until i can get some team news,if Portugal go strong then the price will disappear when team news is announced.
yeah would be good to know, at the same time I think even Portugal’s B team could beat Scotland tbh, no offence intended but just can’t see the Scots doing anything in this game
Portugal school boys would beat Scotland
Mac though no teams news has been leaked as yet to my knowledge it is not Scotland that’s the concern with who they pick I’d say it’s more about how Portugal and there players approach this Friendly tie.
Hope this helps.
My mind says 🏴 0.4 🇵🇹

CÉSAR VALLEJO VS. SPORT LORETO (2100 KO):
You know your footballing life has gone to sh*t when the only team seperating you from bottom place is none other than Willy Serrato – probably THE worst form club in South America.
Such is the card that fate has played Sport Loreto and it’s fair to say that a trip to top side Cesar Vallejo is not top of tgeir current ‘to do’ list.
I’ll stop short of writhing about with reasoning but suffice to say there’s plenty of appeal for goals as the hosts look to build on the 4 and 5 team goals scored in their last 2 games AND the 4 and 6 team goals scored in the last 2 H2H’s!
