The Manchester Derby sets us up nicely for a cracking day of football in the lunchtime kick-off at Old Trafford.
United are a huge 4/1 to win – almost unheard of for the Red Devils at home. Despite Man City's recent dominance of English football United have only lost one of the last five derbies (W3 D1 L1) and you have to ask if Pep Guardiola's side are worthy of being 4/6 favourites away to their rivals?
A 2-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace last week followed an unexpected exit from the Carabao Cup at the hands of West Ham has raised a few questions at the Etihad and they'd have wanted to have been in better shape for their trip across Manchester.
United can draw level on points with City if they win and with the irrepressible Cristiano Ronaldo in their ranks anything is possible. The Portuguese superstar bailed out Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side once more in midweek in Italy with two goals and he's 21/10 (SBK) to find the net again. That took his tally to nine in 11 games since his return and he's in such a rich vein of form that he's hard to ignore when the stakes are so high, from a betting point of view.
Chelsea should take care of struggling Burnley at Stamford Bridge but with Lukaku, Werner, Kovacic and Alonso out it hard to get excited about short odds of 1/4. Absences didn't deter them last weekend as they thumped Norwich 7-0 so they'll be popular with punters on the handicap.
The Blues have the best defensive record in the league, conceding just three in 10 and another clean sheet in Malmo helped us to a winning Super Single on Wednesday. 10/11 on yet another Chelsea win without conceding looks a good angle to attack this match.
In Scotland, Aberdeen look like they've turned the corner. Two wins and a draw from their last three games has given boss Stephen Glass a reprieve but can they be trusted to beat Motherwell at 3/4? Well are five without a win but the topsy turvy nature of the Premiership this means it's tough to have confidence in the Dons to get the job done.
Hearts v Dundee Utd is match of the day at Tynecastle. The Jambos lost their first league game of the season last week but it's been on the cards after a series of draws and they've won just two in eight now. Dundee Utd are level with them on points and you couldn't rule out a win for them at 9/2.
The day's other Premiership match is a battle of the Saints but don't expect a classic. Three of the last seven meetings between St Johnstone and St Mirren have finished 0-0 and five of those seven have been Under 1.5 Goals. No goalscorer pays 6/1 while Under 1.5 Goals is 7/4.

Brentford vs Norwich

5.67 / 1 @ Paddy Power
One for Sunday. Paddy have Celtic women priced 9/5 to beat Rangers women. I know Celtic won at least one of the encounters last season, possibly both, and they just beat rangers away in the cup last week as well, so that seems generous given they are at home for this one. It should be a tight game so not a nap just an inviting price. Unfortunately they aren’t offering a DNB market

* and the big
Up and out early this morning so a chance to look at the early card and quite fancy a bit of this one from the Japanese J League:
VISSEL KOBE VS. TOKUSHIMA VORTIS
(6.00am)
Certainly no expert in these leagues but this one looks to have a bit of value about it.
Kobe’s home record and recent form in general is strong as opposed the visitors who sit perilously above the drop zone. Add to this, the hosts dominate H2Hs in recent years so looks a no brainer.
But, the away side have to fight here so will have to go for it – I don’t wonder if there’s an angle on corners in a fixture that doesn’t usually hold too many goals – prices look pretty high and can be broken down via the betbuilder function:
KOBE OVER 3.5 CORNERS
VORTIS OVER 2.5 CORNERS
(1/1, bet365) ⭐⭐⭐
OVER 9.5 CORNERS
(2/1, vet365) ⭐
Best of luck!
Right theory, wrong outcome with the hosts bombing on the corners. Final score 1-0 and 1-7 on corners 👎
Up an atom!”
Exactly Recoba 😂
Saturday goals tips
Chelsea to win
Chelsea over 1.5tgs
Chelsea over 4.5corners
Burnley over 0.5 cards
23/20 paddy power NAP
Over 1.5tgs double
Fulham-queens park
117/100 hills
The form guide
Much like Liverpool, this lands most Chelsea home games. 3/5 so far and the 2 that didn’t in one they were just a corner short, the other they lost 1-0 to city. With 4 of the chasing packing going head to head and slitting each other’s throats this is a good opportunity for the blues to take 3pts and watch others fall.
I always find the championship pretty tough, but Fulham are on fire. 5 wins and 20 goals in their last 5 is good in any league but all the more impressive given the championship is a constant grind of Saturday-midweek-Saturday and there’s very few if any “easy” games.
In Scotland top of league one Queen’s Park take on bottom boys east fife. The spiders have hit a bit of a dip and only won 2 of their last 8, but they’ve scored 2+ in 5 of those and face an east Fife side who have lost all 6 away games conceding 22 goals and 2+ in all 6. (And 3+ in 5) They also conceded 2+ in 2 of their 3 cup games this season as well.
Smaller stake bets
An unbeaten bundesliga record goes on the line today when Bayern take on Freiburg but it’s not for the home men. The visitors are in fine form coming into this one, and have the best defensive record in the league. I can see that run ending today but not without a fight and they’ve managed to net in the last 6 games against Bayern picking up 4 draws. The men from Bavaria are hardly watertight at the back this season conceding 9 in their last 3 games and only recording 3 league clean sheets from their 10 games so far so I’m going for a home win and both teams to score.
As mentioned above east Fife have conceded 3+ in 5 of their 6 away league outings this season so I’m having a small pop on queens to net 3 as well. Good luck today folks.
Bayern to win both teams to score
6/5 various
Queen’s Park to score 3+
11/8 bet 365
All over your Chelsea bet. The corner short was last week v Norwich . In fact they got the 6th corner but a penalty was awarded which they duly missed. I would not advise the handicap market here Burnley made things hard for Liverpool a few weeks back and will prob get chances.I am going to follow all your above bets they look good . May the Gods be with us.
Hi Chelsea girl glad to hear you think the same. the corner short was against Villa where they managed 4, last week they hit 5 v Norwich. Assuming both sites I used for corner stats and bet 365 were correct.
Hi Sean i stand corrected it was because i had o 5 Chelsea corners v Norwich.
The Manchester derby – a fixture steeped in history and a chance for the Blue half of the city to clash with the Red half of London.
Who knows with United at the moment – they are good but crap at the same time with a cracking squad on paper but the consistency of weak tea and management that couldn’t lift the skin off a rice pudding.
For all City’s strength, you just don’t know what you’ll get with them either, they could hit 6 or they might not turn up.
For these reasons and more (it’s a derby after all so everything will probably go out of the window) I’m steering clear of WDW and goal markets and opting for corners and cards.
The Nap has a fair old chance whilst the Nb pays 5/2 on 365’s betbuilder so the 3/1 from williamhill appeals and is easier to input 😂
I’m also adding a couple of longshots for smaller stakes but wouldn’t be too surprised if they were there or therabouts:
BOTH TEAMS OVER 1.5 CARDS
(6/5, williamhill) NAP ⭐⭐⭐⭐
BOTH TEAMS OVER 1 5 CORNERS EACH HALF

Agree on the cancelo card as well hill it was the only city player I went for. Chucked a freebie at mcguire shaw Fred and cancelo at 50s.

I would be surprised if Ronaldo starts he only played on Tues night,he’s getting on now.
I know, just thinking that myself Mac as soon as I posted it.. 🤭 Oh well.. 👍
It’s a game which is going to require every Man Utd player to track back Ronaldo can’t do that so i would be surprised if he started but then again it’s Solksjaer in charge.
I’ve got nothing against Solksjaer, but for me he’s just not the manager for Utd.
Ronaldo will be playing all right total madness if he does not start.Fred and MacTom would not play for me. Lingard and Matic in.
Obviously Ronaldo was going to start lol

Of course its a o brainer !
Solskjaer can’t win either way lads with some people if he didn’t start and united lost (which they might do either way) the same folk will jump on and say he ain’t got a clue for not starting Ronaldo , everyone’s too quick to jump on the band wagon regarding United, that said Solskjaers still nowhere near good enough to get the best out of this talented squad!

Poor day today some weird results,cards markets were poor in the Man Utd game and Roy Keane hit the nail on the head saying one yellow card for Man Utd in a derby game showed how bad Man Utd were.Then to top that off Daniel Farke has just been sacked as Norwich manager which is a shock as i thought his job was safe as houses,Neil Warnock has just been sacked by Middlesbrough maybe he’s gonna be Farkes replacement lol.
Well done all winners
on Talksport on Wednesday night around 6p.m when they were previewing the Champoinship matches it was mentioned by someone ( might have been Sam Matteface ) that there was a strong rumour that Warnocks job was under threat , and his replacement was rumoured to be Chris Wylder….
Yeah that has happened so the rumours were correct,but Farke getting sacked is a big shock thought he had a job for life at Norwich.

Yes shame about Farke being the next to go rather than Ole or Dean Smith after the great Nuno prediction. So who is the next one out?
Ole or Dean Smith,but i would say Dean Smith next surely he is favourite and Ole has come into 6/4.Believe me Farke was a shock sacking.
