Top Football Tips

I'VE just recovered from a nervous 90 minutes watching Scotland as they edged out Israel to make the Nations League play-offs.

It's a pretty big deal considering we haven't qualified for a major tournament since 1998 – so we are wins against Finland then probably Serbia from reaching the Euro 2020 finals.

James Forrest was the star of the show with a hat-trick to follow his double in Albania and I tipped him to net at 4-1 in my preview.

I also backed Scotland to win but didn't put them in the top tips as there's nothing worse than seeing your team lose and for them to cost you money.

So while Scotland risked my health it was Wales who damaged my wealth. I did say to hold off backing them if Gareth Bale didn't start so hopefully some did.

However, Bale came on after the break and having watched Albania being humiliated by the Scots this was a shocking result for Ryan Giggs' side.

Wales beat for the Super Single double and Top Treble with Kosovo and Dundee United winning and the both to score treble was a loser so looking for a good weekend to get back on track.

I've posted a Super Single shortlist for members so let me know what you think.

Well done to all the winners last night especially Scott and Greg. They had full houses of three winners each from three tips posted – great stuff.

That's the Nations League groups finished and they were miles better than the usual friendlies but still a pain.

On Wednesday there are three more FA Cup replays – Bristol Rovers v Barnet, Hartlepool v Gillingham, Salford City v Shrewsbury. In Wales it's Connah's Quay at Newtown so not too much to look at.

Salford, second in the National League, could surprise Shrewsbury and the man the League One side will fear is Adam Rooney. I tipped the signing from Aberdeen to top score at the start of the season and his hat-trick against Aldershot last week took his tally to 16 in 21 games.

I always liked Rooney at Aberdeen and I'm taking a chance on him to score at 13-8 with Betway. To net first he is 9-2 with Paddy Power.

2pts Super Single

  • Rooney (Salford) to score
  • (13-8, Betway)

Mr Fixit's November Super Singles Total: -4.3pts

Mr Fixit's November Accas Total: -18.5pts

    Well done to you Scots Fix it! To be fair, quite enjoyed the nationals league. I think you mean Bale not Giggsy but ye they could of done with him on too!

    Fancy Salford v Shrewsbury BTTS. Could even go the distance to penalties.

    Roll on the weekend and normality.

      How can Wales even lose to Albania??even without Bale they should be beating Albania with their eyes shut crazy.Well done Greg sir on your bets great tipping,well done all winners last night.

      I wouldn’t have backed Wales if I’d seen that line-up and I hope people took my advice to wait for teams.
      Having said that they should still have beaten Albania but maybe they’re not as bad as Scotland made them look.
      It’s one reason why I hate betting on friendlies without seeing line-ups.

      That was a shocking result mr f big time,the team Giggs put out should have won that game and he knows that.Thats why i backed Wales.

    Morning gents – no NAP today and no previewed bets as it’s really slim pickings

    There are two Skybet league specials today though from Greece at 1pm 🇬🇷 (6 matches) Brazil tonight 🇧🇷 ( 6 matches) that i’ll have small stakes on.

    These are two leagues where goals are at a premium but I’m going to take a bit of a punt on total match goals given the relativity low totals that have been set and the decent number of games being played

    Last night was a great example where you just need a couple of games to go goals crazy ( 7-0 and 3-2) to give you a chance

    Recommended Bet

    Decent write up on WLB – they are on a Sallops win – if Salford can net away then I reckon they can net at home. There were a couple of yellow and 11 corners in the original game. Hope for similar tonight … GL all

    Evening gents,

    Not the best of cards as has already been mentioned – one game hailing from the Welsh Premier that could be worth a look…

    NEWTOWN VS. CONNAH’S QUAY (1945 KO):

    Newtown’s form has taken a slight dip after a cracking late September/early October and whilst it’s not catastrophic, they have been more susceptible to conceding goals having done so in 5 of their last 6.

    Connah’s can catch TNS at the the top with a win here and have been defeated just once in 12 by the Saints themselves – every chance of them notching at least once but hard to see them not conceding.

    H2H-wise, the last two meetings resulted in 3-1 and 4-0 wins to the Nomads at home – both teams netting looks great but is a tight price of 1/2 – given the average 1st goal times for both sides is 44′ and 25′ respectively, 1st half goals could be a better angle for value.

    Two selections:

    BTTS & OVERS…4/5
    (Bet365)
    🌟🌟🌟

    BTTS 1ST HALF…11/4
    (Bet365)
    🌟

    Best of luck 👍

    *Key night tonight in Brazil serie A* 🇧🇷

    with 6 matches and 3 of them
    Are really really important.

    2 most important games are the •Flamengo v Gremio
    •Palmeiras v America mg

    because Palmeiras are top of the table by 5 and have to win if Flamengo win BUT AMERICA mg need to win to get out of relegation and also both games are at same kick off time so scores will be continually checked. Flamengo have Henrique and Juan carrying knocks so they are doubtful but Henrique did score the only goal last week against santos. Flamengo only lost 1 in 10 at home and we are unbeaten in 4 games scoring in them all. We (gremio) need to win or at least draw and pray Sao Paulo dont beat vasco tomorrow night but that game means nothing to Vasco depending on America mg result as they need 3 points mathematically out of 3 remaining to be *safe*

    Looking at various markets tonight and again I’m
    Not one to repeat it but stats are screaming out. Gremio last 10 away from home have not once seen over 2.5 and 50% have seen 2/3 goals and that’s a big thing in Brazil. Value was 1/1 this morning and now drifted to 20/21. However I can’t bring myself to not back us at this big price as we are one of the best on our day and we ain’t exactly wanting to help Flamengo when we have lost the Copa Libertadores.

    4 bets tonight from myself with split stakes all on this match

    •£50 on goal after 68:59 5/6
    •£75 gremio win 3/1
    •£75 over 2.5 goals 7/5

    *Nap*

    Goal in second half of gremio game 1/3
    Doubled with
    Internacional 0.0,-0.5 Asian handicap at 1.525

    Combined 1.03/1

      Yea chief I know that but can’t see us doing them any favours. Just they seem to always win
      At high odds and the gambler in me
      Would kick myself if I didn’t do them and won. Totals at £400 which is not like me
      But just glad to
      Hit nap and small profit be got or even the 2.5 goals also. Good luck to all tonight. I for one can’t wait to see normal UK Saturday footy again.
