Manchester City top the betting in all three competitions they're challenging for and should take another step closer to a potential Treble at Wembley this afternoon.
Opponents Sheffield United have had a heck of a season under Paul Heckingbottom and are edging towards automatic promotion back to the top flight. Their run to the semi-finals of the FA Cup for today's trip to Wembley has been the icing on the cake so far but they could hardly have been handed a tougher task than to beat one of the best teams in Europe right now.
City thumped Championship leaders Burnley 6-0 in the quarter-finals and in the large expanse at Wembley could have similar joy against the Blades, especially if they break the deadlock early.
Erling Haaland helped himself to a hat-trick against the Clarets and is 9/2 to add another to his incredible tally this season.
Only Newcastle boast a better defensive record in the Premier League than City so the 5/6 on a win to nil looks a big upgrade on the 1/7 on them just to win.
Roy Hodgson has worked his magic at Crystal Palace and the Eagles are flying right now. Three wins in a row have seen them open up a nine point gap between themselves and the drop zone. What Everton would give for a run like that at the moment!
The Toffees have won just one of their last eight and are only above the bottom three by virtue of a better goal difference than Nottingham Forest. The return of Domic Calvert-Lewin might give them a boost but Paalce should be good for the three points at 21/20.
Liverpool ran riot at Leeds on Monday night and Jurgen Klopp will be hoping it's a sign of things to come for the remainder of the season. The Reds have now scored 9, 7 and 6 in single matches in the Premier League, accounting for 39% of their goal tally for the season and they could add a few more to that this evening.
When they're on song they can tear teams apart and with Nottingham Forest‘s poor away record this season we should be on for another comfortable home win at Anfield. Over 2.5 Liverpool goals pays 4/5 with over 3.5 at 2/1. Alternatively you can back ‘any other home win' on SBK at 9/4 which accounts for any win for Liverpool that sees them score four or more.
North of the border it's the last matchday before the league split in the Scottish Premiership and there's a 3-way race to finish in the top six. St Mirren (44pts) are in pole position and should cement their place with a win at even money over Kilmarnock who are still searching for the first league victory away from Rugby Park this season.
Hibs (43pts) occupy sixth place at the moment but could suffer from a ‘new-manager bounce' at St Johnstone who parted company with double-cup winning manager Callum Davidson this week after a string of poor results. The Saintees aren't out of the woods as far as relegation is concerned so still plenty for them to play for so the match at McDiarmid Park looks best left alone.
Livingston (42pts) have flip-flopped between the top and bottom half of the league all season and need a bit good fortune to secure a third top-six finish in four years. They travel to a resurgent Dundee United who's only loss in five has come against Rangers. The Arabs are well priced at 7/5 to boost their survival chances with a win.
In the east-end of Glasgow Celtic should cruise to another three points that will take them ever closer to the title. It looked like they were going to annihilate Killie last week but declared on four after just 27 minutes having also missed a penalty.
Motherwell are the team in the firing line and they'd performed admirably under Stuart Kettlewell who has guided them out of relegation trouble. But the Hoops are just relentless these days and have now amassed 102 league goals. They've scored 2 or more in a mammoth 94% of league games and scored inside the first 15 minutes in half of their 32 games to date.
Over 1.5 first half goals for Celtic has landed in 11 of their 16 fixtures at Celtic Park and is 11/10 to land today.
Who knows how things will end up in the Championship but the ball is firmly in Dundee‘s court after the 0-0 draw at Somerset Park between Ayr United and Queen's Park. That kept the Dark Blues top of the table ahead of their trip to in-form Inverness.
The Dens Park side have played one game less than their nearest rivals and can open up a three point lead with a win. That'll be easier said than done against Caley who have won six in a row. Should they be victorious they be just one point behind the leaders but will have played a game more. Follow?
The Highlanders look a bit of value at 14/5 in what has been a topsy-turvy season in the second tier but they could have one eye on next week's Scottish Cup semi-final.
Arbroath have been backed in a little to get the better of Cove Rangers and rightly so. Dick Campbell looks like he's pulled it out the back again and a win for The Red Lichties, who've only lost one of their last nine, at 3/4 would all but ensure their safety.

Racing Tips
Rizzel has picked out SEVEN fancies for Scottish Grand National Day including one in the big race!
As always, let us know your best betting tips and predictions for today in the comments section below and good luck with all your bets!
Rayo Zuliano v Zamora FC
22:00
Venezuelan Premier Division
Both teams to score 17-20 (hills) NAP/NB 2 bets, one market.
As there is hardly sod all doing tonight.
Prediction 1-1
********************
Following an interruption for reasons unknown this eventually finished 1-1.
Good night/nos da and good luck for the weekend …….
👍
Derby v Burton
This is a must win game for Derby if they are looking to get into the playoffs. The bookies have priced it up mainly on the reason they are desperate to win. Derby haven’t been scoring like they were, only 6 goals in the last 7.Their home form has been poor of late, only 1 win in last 5.
Compare this to their opposition today Burton who have scored 13 in their last 7, only 2 defeats in thrir last 5 away games, only 1 defeat in last 5 home and away games combined. Their last 4 games have seen them beat Barnsley, Sheff Wed and draw with Bolton, these are all obviously the better teams in this division.
I can see this being a very hard match for Derby and no wonder Burton have been backed in from 8/1 yesterday. I see them causing alot of problems for Derby and backing Burton to get at least 1 goal looks a very good bet.
Put this together with the fact Derby are desperate for a win you can see them attacking the game, even if they did get a couple of goal cushion they will be looking to increase their goal difference as the two sides directly above them have very similar goal difference. This points to Derby getting a few corners today, they got 10 in their last home game.
Burton to hit at least 1 corner looks are safe bet based on their recent stats.
Recommended bet today is
Over 0 goals in the match for Burton Albion
Over 4 match corners for Derby
Over 0 corners in the match for Burton
21/20 Bet365 bet builder
2.5 % of stake on Burton Albion win at 13/2 also
I was originally planning on putting a few words on Salford to score at least 2 goals today but their opposition manager was sacked a few days ago so maybe that could have an effect although I still fancy them strongly to hit the 2 goals at even money.
God luck everyone today. Have a great weekend.

Over 5.5mgs @ 5/2 (Whill)
Kingsley Westside vs Perth Red Star
7 or more goals @ 5/1 (Whill)
Cup game here, quite fancy this one for goals, Red star ( or ECU Joondalup I still like to call them 😅 ) are more than capable of finding the net against poorer opposition this morning. If they can go away to Armadale and Sorrento in the past few weeks and score 6 and 7 I don’t see why they can’t here. Not much info on Kingsley Westside, however they did play Bayswater City ( same league as red star) in the cup this time last year and lost 10-1.
Good luck 🤞

Haha- hiya mate which bits confusing you? Re read it and looks all good from my end?? Or if you think I’ve copied someone else above that’s not the case. I put Salford in my slow burner acca on Thursday saying they were my best bet. The write up above made me back the derby corners think it’s a spot on write up for reason for corners for Derby! Someone did similar write up in Porto game midweek for corners and it was a cracking tip 👏

Keeping it simple today with a treble
Liverpool
Celtic
City
All to win / over 2.5mgs
Aberdeen to score a penalty 13/2 (skybet)
Rangers haven’t conceded a pen in 50 games (FIFTY) so my logic is that the refs will want to correct that uncomfortable stat over the last few games, now that the league is done and dusted.
And the chances are far higher that’ll happen away from Ibrox, so today at Pittodrie looks like a good opportunity for a correction to occur. In fact the last time they did concede a pen, way back into let season, was at Pittodrie.
But what if they miss the pen? Wouldn’t that be typical ? Well you can easily back the miss at a big price too
Aberdeen to miss a pen is 22/1 with Hills.
Baldy, they wont miss it today game is morra. No bad odds tho!

Chilean Segunda Division 🇨🇱
BOTH teams to score 21-20 (UNIBET) NAP….
Velasquez are 4-5 favourites to win and hopefully will score though BTTS is an irregular occurrence in their games.
Linares though have seen BTTS in their last 10 games and they have scored against the current top 4 in the table this season.

Al Ahly v Raja Casablanca
20:00
African Champions League 🌍
Raja Casablanca to score 10-11 (bet365) NB…
Quarter final 1st leg this and they met at this very stage last season when it ended 2-1 to al ahly .
The 2nd leg ended 1-1.
These have met 7 times down the years with 6 ending BTTS
Al ahly only qualified by winning their last group game 3-0 while Casablanca only dropped 1 point scoring 17 goals in their 6 games.
Of course it’s a 1st leg and may be cagey.
Prediction 0-0 half time
1-1 full time
