Saturdays top tips 3

Plymouth Argyle have been the shock troops of this season's FA Cup but it's hard to see them springing another surprise at the Etihad.

The Championship strugglers have claimed the scalps of Brentford and Liverpool during a memorable march to the fifth round.

Their league form has also picked up under Miron Muslic, with just one defeat in six, but taking on Manchester City away from home may be a bridge too far.

The FA Cup represents City's only chance for silverware this season so I'd imagine Pep Guardiola will field close to his strongest side.

Manchester City vs Plymouth Argyle top betting tips

City remain inconsistent, with five wins and five defeats in their last 10, but those losses have all come against top-class teams (PSG, Arsenal, Liverpool and Real Madrid).

They've been winning the games they should be winning, with Chelsea and Newcastle suffering comprehensive defeats at the Etihad in recent weeks.

Plymouth will set up to frustrate but if City score early then over 3.5 goals for Guardiola's side stands a chance at evens with BoyleSports.

The corner markets hold more appeal for me and over 4.5 flag kicks for City in the first half looks good at 23/20.

Crystal Palace vs Millwall top betting tips

There's another Premier League v Championship FA Cup tie as Millwall head across London to face Crystal Palace.

The Lions have picked up form since Alex Neil took the reins and will be feeling confident after losing just once in their last nine games.

But Palace have also hit their stride, with a midweek thrashing of Aston Villa making it four wins in their last five.

It's hard to see Millwall living with Oliver Glasner's front line if the Eagles boss picks his strongest team.

Eberechi Eze scored the winner against Stockport in the last round and the playmaker is a tempting 2/1 for a goal today.

Jean Philippe Mateta should lead the line again and the target man also appeals at 6/5 for over 1.5 efforts on target.

AFC Bournemouth v Wolverhampton Wanderers top betting tips

There's just one all Premier League tie in the FA Cup today but it should be a cracker as Bournemouth host Wolves.

The Molineux men shocked the Cherries by beating them 1-0 in the Premier League last weekend but a first-half red card played a big part in how that game panned out.

If Andoni Iraola's men keep all their players on the park they should be too classy for Wolves and a Bournemouth win in 90 minutes with over 1.5 goals pays evens at BoyleSports.

This should be an open game so I also like BTTS and no draw, which pays 5/4.

Rangers v Motherwell top betting tips

Barry Ferguson's first game as Rangers boss was an emotional rollercoaster as his side came from 2-0 down to beat Kilmarnock 4-2 at Rugby Park.

The former skipper now makes an emotional return to Ibrox this afternoon as Motherwell come calling.

The Steelmen also have a new man in the dugout, with Michael Wimmer overseeing a defeat and a victory in his first two games at the helm.

Cyriel Dessers scored twice in that midweek comeback and is just 4/5 for another goal at BoyleSports. But backing him to net with his head is a decent long-odds option at 8/1 with Bet365.

The corner count could rack up for Gers and over 8.5 home flag kicks appeals at 20/21.

  • Jean-Philippe Mateta over 1.5 shots on target 6/5 BoyleSports

      Hello

      What’s this freeze bet?

      Is it new

    • lep72 11 months ago

      Go on skybet and go to accumulators were you will see acca freeze. You have to do at least five selections with a maximum bet of 20 pound. You can only freeze one selection, so you can do a decent price with four favorites and freeze your best price and when it is frozen it’s now a winner. It’s been going since last season. I had a great run on it during September and October especially betting against man city, winning over five grand but skybet took it off me. So now I have an account with my son in-law on skybet to access it. Good luck if you are doing it. Was unlucky last night with Cardiff not getting the first goal as other teams won. Hope this helps you pal

    • maccathered 11 months ago

      Cardiff should of had a penalty, if that was Prem league it would have been given.

    • lep72 11 months ago

      Thought we were unlucky Macca especially with the chance just before they scored, the Cardiff Sub hit it at Martinez either side and it was a goal

    Treble @ 7/5 (bet365)

    Inverurie vs Rothes over 2.5mgs
    Deveronvale vs Brora over 2.5mgs
    Dundee vs St Johnstone over 2 cards

    Small stake

    Treble @ 6/1 (bet365)

    Inverurie vs Rothes over 3.5mgs
    Deveronvale vs Brora 4.0 Asian line
    Dundee vs St Johnstone over 3 cards

    Have the cards bets running I posted yesterday for the weekend that is my main bet and is still holding its price but will be taking this today. Should be goals in the two games with Rothes conceding goals all over the place and Brora banging them in, taking 5 off Deveronvale last week. Expect a few cards in the Dundee game too.

    Good luck 🤞
