It's crunch time in the Scottish League Cup with the group stage coming to a conclusion this weekend ahead of the big SPFL kick-off.
Nobody has nailed down their place in the knockout stages yet but we've seen some high-profile casualties yet again with St Johnstone and Dundee United failing to qualify after suffering two defeats.
Most of the other Premiership sides are in a decent position heading into the final round of games but a slip-up could prove fatal today as the minnows seek more scalps.
League Two Forfar tops Group H but St Mirren can knock them off the summit by beating the Loons in Paisley today.
Over 2.5 goals has come up in two of Forfar’s games and also landed when the Buddies battered Arbroath 4-0 in their only home game so far.
But that bet pays just 4/7 here at William Hill and the scorer markets offer better value, with Mikael Mandron 13/10 at McBookie for a second goal this season.
Livingston also sit second in Group C and can only finish top if Hamilton slip up at home to Cove Rangers.
But a victory over Clyde would take Livi to 10 points and that should seal one of the best runners-up slots.
David Martindale’s side battered Cove 5-0 in midweek and should grab a few more goals against a Bully Wee side who have shipped 10 already.
Over 2.5 Livingston goals looks decent value at evens with Betfair while Bruce Anderson appeals at 11/10 for anytime scorer (McBookie).
We should see goals as Accies take on Cove and over 1.5 first-half strikes pays 9/5 at Midnite.
The clash between Ross County and Kelty in Dingwall also promises a few thrills.
Both teams have been scoring for fun and backing over 3.5 goals pays 6/4 at SportingIndex while Simon Murray is evens at McBookie to take his tally for the new season to six.
Kilmarnock are second in Group F as well but Derek McInnes’ men just need a win at Albion Rovers today to finish top.
Dunfermline, who sit top but have played all their games, won 3-0 at Cliftonhill so I fancy Killie for a win to nil today at 13/10 with BetVictor.
There’s a Fir Park shoot-out for top spot in Group G as East Fife head to Motherwell.
The League Two side have claimed shoot-out wins over Queen’s Park and Queen of the South but Well have looked good so far and a home win to nil appeals at 6/5 (BetVictor).
There's a cracker in the Women's World Cup as Brazil face a France side looking to bounce back from a shock draw with Jamaica.
As impressive as Pia Sundhage’s Brazilians were in their 4-0 win over Panama, the quality of the opposition has to be taken into consideration. And we’ll get a better idea of their credentials after today’s clash with a French side who sit three places above them in FIFA’s world rankings.
It’s a tough one to call but the half-time stalemate looks good at 11/10 (VBet) while Brazilian winger Ary Borges is overpriced at 23/5 (SpreadEx) for an anytime scorer after netting a hat-trick in the opener.

My Tennis plays today
U Humber -1.5 Games v A Vukic 1.83, Bet365 (NAP)
Was really impressed with Humbert in his 7-6 6-4 victory over number 2 seed De Minaur. Vukic doesn’t particularly have the greatest return game and in baseline rallies I would favour Humbert to get the better of most. I struggle to see what Vukic can do to hurt Humbert in this match up really. He would have to serve incredibly well and hit a large number of winners which I think he may struggle to do over a sustained period. Even if this was close and went to 3 sets every chance Humbert can cover this line.
A Zverev v A Fils Over 21.5 Games 1.85, William Hill (NB)
I think this could be a little closer than the odds suggest. Fils was excellent yesterday in his crushing 6-0 6-4 victory over the number 1 seed Ruud and is a player with huge potential. He seems to be really enjoying the conditions in Hamburg and playing some great tennis having yet to drop a set this week. The same can also be said for Zverev and he is still the favourite in this match up but I would not be at all surprised if there is either a very close set (7/5 or 7/6) or if Fils even takes this to 3. Although Zverev is playing well he is still not quite at the level yet he was before his injury last year and as long as Fils continues to serve well with his usual aggressive game he will prove to be a real test for Zverev here.
L Djere v Z Zhang Over 22.5 Games 1.92, Unibet
Both players have been playing some great tennis this week and this should be a very good match. Djere continued his impressive head to head record against Musetti winning 7-5 6-3. Zhang after beating Hanfmann followed up that victory against another German player Altmaier in straight sets 6-4 6-4. The slow and damp conditions in Hamburg have really suited the powerful Zhang game this week as it allows him to hit through his opponents. Zhang often has moments in sets where he is pretty unplayable so I can see this one being either a very close 2 setter or most likely going to 3. Djere is a great player to back on Clay when underdog but he is never really someone I would trust as favourite.
Good luck everyone today with your bets
£45m for Scott McTominay 😭😂😭😂😭😂 after £100m for Declan Rice….and them down south say it wasnt them that priced everyone else out of football but but but them pesky Saudis

M Arnaldi -1.5 Games v A Popyrin 1.93, Pinnacle
I wasn’t going to get involved in this match as I thought the lines set were about correct. However, Pinnacle have increased the odds on this one from 1.81 this morning to 1.93 so it is now a play for me. This will likely be a very close match but Arnaldi has improved so much over the past 12 months I just give him the edge in this match up. He will get a lot of balls back and there is a potential that Popyrin will start to over hit his shots in frustration which he can do sometimes. Even in a close 2 setter or 3 sets and there is every chance he can cover such a small line.
M Arnaldi v A Popyrin OVer 22.5 Games 1.85, Coral
As per above I do think this match will be close. I also think there is a potential for at least a tie break here so the overs is very much in play. Both players have been serving well this week so there may not be many break opportunities in this one.

Slips Tips selections have certainly been performing early bells so far this season for him
5 out of 6 up to now…
If your paying for the tips then they should be winning, nothing less.
He’s very consistent, humble,never gets carried away when he wins either@boabee8867
To me if your paying for tips then they should be winning consistently, that’s my opinion.
Harry Kane now 1/3 to join Bayern and 9/4 to stay at Spurs, wish they would hurry up with it. Man Utd sign Rasmus Hojlund for 70 million.
Tonight’s boxing ….
Finally a fight to be excited about. Its been a while.
Errol Spence Jr v Terence Crawford for the undisputed welterweight championship of the world.
Anyone expecting a classic? Then don’t!
This, for me, is similar to the Mayweather v Pacquiao fight – in that case – it was always going to points, and mayweather was always going to win.
This time, its slightly different. Both fighters are actually well-matched, however it’s a case of who you prefer.
Crawford is favourite, which I understand, but Spence should have the mental edge in this. It’ll be close. Maybe even controversial.
Fight to go the distance is 4/7. Spence to win on points was 5/2 with Bet365 a few minutes ago.
Either way, there will be a rematch!
GL All 🤞
Spence being tight at the weight, his issues with the Car crash, unconnected eye injury, and being quite inactive as a result of these means Crawford will win this for me.
I think he beats Spence anyway without those issues.
Crawford Comfortable points victory or possibly even a late stoppage wouldn’t surprise me.
