History will be made at Hampden Park on Saturday for either St Johnstone or Hibernian who go head-to-head for the final piece of silveware of the 20-21 Scottish season.
For the Saintees, the chance to complete a phenomenal cup-double-winning season and add only the third major trophy to their list of club honours. For the Hibees, the opportunity to win a second Scottish Cup in just five years after a 114-year wait for their previous one in 2016.
St Johnstone have had the upper hand in recent meetings, including a 3-0 Hampden win the Betfred Cup semi-final but Hibs are favourites to lift the trophy at 7/10.
Both sides have ended the season in good form and as proven back in January the Saints can be more than a match for the Hibees on their day. Hibs are far too short to be backing at Hampden where they've had more bad days than good recently so Callum Davidson's men look the value bet. They're 21/10 to win inside the 90 minutes or you'd like the insurance of them lifting the trophy by any method then take the 21/20 to be new holders of the Scottish Cup.
We've canvassed the opinion of our feature tipsters for the Experts' Tips for the Scottish Cup Final so don't miss it.
In England Bournemouth and Swansea have slender first leg leads to defend in their semi-finals against Brentford and Barnsley respectively.
The Cherries face a tough trip to Brentford, who, with Ivan Toney on board, will fancy their chances of turning things around at home in front of 4,000 fans and could be worth getting on side with at 11/8 to book a date at Wembley next weekend.
SlipsTips tackles both matches in his BetBuilder Tip of the Day with a corners double across both play-off matches.
There's a full card of matches in the National League and that's the focus of Desmond's goals bets for Saturday after nine out of 10 fixtures saw Over 2.5 Goals last Saturday
Don't miss the chance to back goals in La Liga either where the season reaches a thrilling climax. Atletico hold a two point lead over Real Madrid so must better their city rivals' result to be crowned champions of Spain. There was a glut of goals last weekend so it could be worth looking to the total goals markets again.
Greg MacLean's been in brilliant form and he's got another Bet of the Day Double for us on Saturday. It includes a match from the Japanese J1 League which kicks-off at 9am so make sure you get on it early.

Saturday's Racing Tips
Rizzel was in brilliant form on Friday with three winners. Today he visits Lingfield for his two selections.
Good luck with all your bets on Saturday!
In December 2020 we sadly 
One for sunday in Italy.
Build your odds bet on WH
Spezia v Roma:
Spezia over 0 cards
Roma over 1 card
Roma over 0 1st half cards
7/4
Spezia have at at least one card in their 18 home matches this season (had at least 2 in 16 of those)
Roma have had at least 2 cards in 12 of last 14 away matches.
Hoping its a bit spicy from the start and Roma get one in 1st half.
Its 13/8 both teams to have over 1 card, looks decent 2 given the stats.
Good luck with your bets over the weekend🤞

St Johnstone v Hibs
I can see both teams getting a few corners in this match , this could lead to a header or two on target
Header scored 21/10 Hills
Both teams to score a header is a massive 25/1 with Hills and is worth a punt imo
Also on 40 + booking points in the match 1/1 Skybet
My last correct score bet as expectations has not been met in the last couple of years. It has been a bet for fun after all but as all things in life it comes to an end. In case all games comes in the bag may it be a tribute to Mr Fixit /RIP

Not posted in a while but thought I would get involved in the final day excitement.
Werder bremen v monchengladbach – 14:30
Moenchengladbach win – 13/10
A game that matters for both teams, in all likelihood it will take a win for Werder Bremen to have a chance at staying up and a win for Moenchengladbach to have a chance at securing a spot in the Europa league qualifiers. Werder Bremen are in shocking form though, they haven’t won in their last 9 and have lost 8 of those.
Moenchengladbach are in poor form as well to be honest and their away form has been woeful winning just 4 away games all season. It’s worth noting though that 3 of those wins have came against the 3 other teams currently sitting in the bottom four with werder Bremen.
I just think Moenchengladbach will edge this, they’ve managed to scrape their few away wins against the bottom teams this season and werder Bremen have so much pressure on this game and are in such poor form I see them falling short.

LA LIGA FINALE 5PM
Today La Liga may finally have somewhat of a refreshing change as champions and not the usual boring two, however something tells me this is not a foregone conclusion. With all thats on the line and how corrupt football is i can see some questionable decisions being made to decide this race. With this in mind im taking cards and penaties to be awarded..

It’s the start of the NBA playoffs tonight and I’m looking at advising a best bet in every playoff game
Miami Heat at Milwaukee Bucks (19:00)
Game 1
BAM ADEBAYO over 5.5 assists
5/6 william hill
If the Heat want to win this then Bam will need a good game, he averaged 5.4 assists for the season and had 8, 10 and 4 in 3 games against the Bucks
Paddypower giving a £5 Risk Free £5 Bet Builder For The First Weekend Of The Nba Playoffs (minimum 2 legs, minimum 1.2 odds for each leg) – Money back as CASH if it loses.
Another “trick” with this promo – Place a 4 leg bet builder (each leg must have minimum odds of 1.2). If 3 out of 4 legs come in but the other loses, you’ll get a £5 CASH refund PLUS you’ll also get a £5 FREE bet tomorrow.
Anyone got any ideas for a nice 4 fold bet builder? 😉
