IT was a case of ‘job done' for Engand and Scotland on Friday as they both secured the wins needed to take a step closer to Qatar 2022.
Barring a catastrophe against San Marino, England booked their place in the finals with a resounding 5-0 win over Albania while Scotland ensured their participation in the play-offs, with a game to spare, thanks to a 2-0 win in Moldova.
Tonight the pressure is off Wales who have already secured a play-off spot thanks to their Nations League exploits but they'll be pushing to finish second in Group E which could see them seeded in the draw.
At 1/5 to win they're one of several short-priced nations on Saturday in another round of mis-matched fixtures which sees the likes of Turkey (1/100), Belgium (1/25) and France (1/20) at ridiculously short prices. Each should secure comfortable wins and a Treble of Over 2.5 Goals in each of those matches pays a tad over 9/10 at Bet365.
Domestically there's little to choose from on Saturday but Exeter (8/11) at home to Oldham should be a solid home win while Walsall (31/20) could beat the odds against Harrogate. Top of the table Forest Green handed the Saddlers their first defeat in nine in the EFL Cup in midweek and look overpriced against a Harrogate side who's results have dipped in recent weeks.
After a disasterous start to the season Dunfermline have appointed John Hughes as their new boss following the departure of Peter Grant. Yogi's first match is at Inverness for whom he secured their highest ever league finish and the dizzy heights of European football so they'll know all about the impact their former gaffer can have at East End Park.
The Pars are long overdue a win and under Hughes it won't be too far away. It may not come against the in-form Highlanders but there will be worse 9/2 shots on today's coupon.
Tommy Wright's Kilmarnock were reminded just how tough it will be to escape the Championship last week when Partick Thistle left Rugby Park with all three points. Today they've a chance to get things back on track with a win at Morton.
The hosts have drawn five of their last seven and have yet to win a league game in six at Cappielow. Killie on the other hand are unbeaten away from home and should bounce back with a win at 19/20.

No joy last night but looking for a turn of luck in this Northern classic from the ND1 – Ponte Carlo (and nearby Cas Vegas) here I come…
PONTEFRACT COLLIERIES VS. HEBBURN TOWN (3.00pm)
It may not be a glamour tie but there’s a fair chance of goals as both sides fight it out at the wrong side of the table.
Both of the last 2 H2H’s featured 4 goals (4-0 and 2-2) and could be more of the same this afternoon:
OVER 3.5 GOALS
(6/5, bet365) NAP ⭐⭐⭐
There could be goals in all of the division’s games to be fair so maybe worth rolling up the following:
DAVENTRY
PONTEFRACT
OVER 2.5 GOALS DOUBLE

DAVENTRY
LINCOLN
PONTEFRACT
STOCKSBRIDGE

My team Alloa are a ridiculous price of 23/10 at home to Montrose & must be backed, won 2 of last 3 league games beating Airdrie & Queens Park away then drawing with Falkirk away last week. Won at Montrose earlier in the season, win lose or draw 23/10 is a gift, Merry Xmas.
Didn’t see this till end of 1st half…Got 12/5…cheers
All bets down today
Well done all winners
Hi Guys,
Late post again today, been out doing the dreaded Xmas shopping with the missus.
Anyway today going for Morton Thorsby to be carded @ 14/5 with Skybet – usual 10 points on
Been watching this player in Serie A playing for Sampdoria, 6 ft 3in attacking mid-fielder,
ungainly tackler and jumps for headers with arms up, elbows flying. Has picked up 6 yellows
in 11 appearances in Serie A already.
Good Luck with all bets tonight!!!
Great shout
Brilliant mate that didn’t take long
22nd min yellow for Morton, a player to keep an eye on for cards!
Well done

Hi Guys,
With Morton Thorsby obliging with the early card, going to re-invest
£10 of winnings, max stake allowed, on the Skybet Price Boost on
Belgium, France and Netherlands all to win
boosted from 1/3 to Evens
France win means they qualify, unbeaten in last 12 games, Kazakhstan
no wins in last 12 games
Belgium win means they qualify, unbeaten in last 36 home games, Estonia
8 defeats, 2 draws and 2 wins in last 12 away games.
Netherlands need a win to ensure qualification, Montenegro have nothing
but pride to play for and will finish in 4th placed irrespective of their next
2 results. Hopefully 3 comfortable wins for favourites.
Good Luck Tonight!!!
LOST – How the Netherland’s managed to throw away a 2 goal lead with 10 mins to go beggar’s belief,
other games landed easily.

Will have a dabble at this tonight. Kazakhstan don’t have anything to play for but can still imagine it’s going to be a tough night for them. They have picked up 20+ booking points in their last 7 games , one being a friendly, and 30+ in all 4 away group games.
Kazakhstan 30+ booking points @ 2/1 (skybet)
Good luck 🤞

It doesn’t matter who Hamilton play home or away get on the opposition they are the worst team I’ve seen in the championship for 4 years not even a match for the top juniors can’t believe they were in premier league not long ago, Alloa are a better club than them 👍
