Top Football Tips

INTERNATIONAL week trundles on today with another pretty uninspiring card.

There's a shedload of EFL Trophy ties and goals is likely the way to go when betting on those matches.

My Cologne bet had the whiff of failure last night as Duisburg pulled off a shock by beating the table-toppers to move off the bottom.

Well done anyone who managed a winner, including HullShaker, Kyle b and Lockhart, on a tough set of fixtures.

It’s a no bet day for me as I concentrate on research for the Nations League games starting Thursday. The return of proper football can't come quickly enough.

      Both teams are riding high at the top of the table with Scarborough curently setting the pace and I am anticipating goals i n this fixture. Both sides respective home and away games are averaging over 2.5 a game with both struggling to gather victories with a clean sheet in tact. This has included Scarborough failing to keep the ball out against lowly North Ferriby and Mickleover whilst Stalybridge have conceded in there last 5 and in 75% of there home games this season. I cant see either side keeping the other out and will chance the extra goal at even money.

      **WON** – Prefer the smaller cards, a lot less faffing about to do than on a typical weekend.

    Sooo Lodeiro starts for Seattle which is a huge bonus for the home side, gonna depart or international duty after the game but no Ruidiaz so Bruin makes a rare starting appearance leading the line. No Quioto and Elis so I expect Houston to struggle offensively. Expect plenty of crosses to be flying in the box and im going to take a punt on Bruin to get his big ass forehead on the end of one of them, surely will be looking to impress in the Peruvians absence in a game Seattle should win.

    Fully agree @kyle-b – both Stalybridge and Scarborough can’t keep their sheets clean at the moment and I think the price on offer for BTTS is more than fair, and certainly far bigger than I anticipated. Alongside that game, the FA Cup qualification replay between Met Police and Tiverton appeals. I fancied goals on Saturday when these two sides drew 3-3, but markets were limited. With a quick turnaround, I don’t see any reason why we won’t see a similar game tonight with both sides keen to get into the first round proper of the FA Cup.

    Lastly, a little nod to another FA Cup qualifier I fancy tomorrow. I’ll be off in to watch Taunton as they welcome a St Albans side who I have often relied on for goals over the years. Taunton are in frankly cracking form, especially on their own (admittedly dodgy) turf. I really fancy them to take the game to a St Albans side who are often susceptible at the back no matter the opposition. BTTS & Overs is currently priced at 4/5, and I’ll be having a pop at it if tonight’s efforts don’t leave my pockets empty.

    Stalybridge v Scarborough

    Afternoon gents – a decent day yesterday and hopefully carry on the trend into Tuesday with a jam-packed lower league card.

    One game stands out for me and it involves my local side North Ferriby who look in dire straits as they travel to a decent Bamber Bridge outfit…money for nothing may be a push too far but can’t see a lack of action!

    No time to trot out the stats but bags of potential with all 8 of BB’s last game have seen ‘overs’ get the green light and 10 of The Villagers last 12 going the same way – really keen on the prices here and two selections stand out:

    OVER 2.5 MGS…8/13

    ENGLISH football league trophy action tonight and I’d be lying if I said I’ve had a good look through these games. Down south early this morning so not had a chance and that’s usally o.k when you know about the teams but not when clubs will ring the changes and there are u21 sides involved

    No NAP today or featured matches , however, these matches are still worth a punt on the skybet specials for goals that i thought be worth sharing

    Evening all

    no luck with the Scottish Reserve league cup yesterday. 2/3 and the match that I expected goals in (QoS v M’well) managed only 1.

    On to tonight; Scottish Reserve League 2…
    2 matches; featuring bottom 2 teams.

    Of the 16 games to date, there have been 82 goals(not including last night) and tonight’s matches involve Berwick ( v Airdrie ) who were skelped 9-0 by Livingston ( who play Raith Rovers tonight) last week.

    simple doubles for me

    Berwick v Airdrie
    Raith v Livingston

    Over 3.5 mgls double 2.26/1
    Over 4.5 mgls double 4.39/1

    Airdrie win and >3.5 mgls
    Livingston win and >3.5 mgls
    Double 3.2/1

    Betway odds…also tempted to go on smaller stakes for higher goals..2 point stake (£10) on each of the above.

    Good luck all tonight 👍

      Absolutely the right way of looking at it Opti – if we choose to bet then we have to accept those losses along the way…all that matters is the bigger picture and a profit (even a marginal one) over time.

      Met Police utterly dominating a Tivvy side wrecked by a sickness bug. The lad who bagged two for Tivvy on Saturday missed the game and Tiverton only named 3 subs. Sounds like they’ve been under the cosh all game. Wish I’d known about the Tiverton squad beforehand as it definitely puts a different complexion on the game.

    I’m going to have zero time tomorrow so been having an early look through Wednesday’s card – it’s flatter than a witches tit but another game from the black, satanic milltowns of Northern England might just churn out some value…

    PONTEFRACT COLLIERIES VS. MORPETH TOWN:

    The potential star of the show here is the away side Morpeth; a team very much in the ascendency and a Northeastern outfit that looks to be a growing force.

    FA Vase winners in 2016-2017, Morpeth have begun this campaign with real conviction – 24 points from a possible 27 and with 2-3 games in hand on their nearest 5 rivals, they sit atop the Non-League Division One table and are the team to beat.

    I won’t say I’m too familiar with the side but I’ve clocked their form a few weeks back; website checks and Twitter reccy’s tell me a lot about a teams aspirations and for the size of the club, Morpeth have a pretty impressive infastructure which reflects their recent successes and vision.

    There is a great link to a ‘match preview’ on Morpeth’s feed which offers a fantastic insight into visiting side ‘Colly’s’ history as a club which, although not entirely relevant to the betting man, gives a fantastic history lesson about the hosts:

    http://www.morpethtownfc.com/match-preview-pontefract-colliers-v-morpeth-town

    With the form, dominance and momentum they have, it may well pay to side with Morpeth but the hosts preponderence for goals in games also flags interest; 6-2-5-3-4-1-2-8-3-6 match goals in their most recent 10 is not a reflection of a tight defensive unit – add this factor in and a couple of selections shine through:

    MORPETH 23/20
    (Bet365)
    🌟🌟🌟🌟

    MORPETH WIN AND OVER 3.5 MGS…15/4
    (Bet365)
    🌟🌟

    Best of luck 👍

    Evening y’all back from my sabbatical let’s start October in grand style; I was thought a brutal lesson last month and last week but I have been able to pick up the pieces together which sees me in Brazil Seria A.
    Not a fan of the Brazilian league but one game which I just can’t help but notice the H2H stats between them
    BOTAFAGO vs VASCO DA GAMA
    The last 5H2H between this two has seen 2-3, 2-3, 2-3, 3-5, 1-2 which surprises me given the value for BTTS/OVERS, well i think the bookies got this wrong hoping for the trend to continue by 1:00am.
