Ivan Toney’s return for Brentford has grabbed a few headlines and the England striker is 5/4 to mark his return with a goal today.

The 27-year-old served an eight-month ban for betting offences but reports are he’s been keeping himself in good shape and bagged a hat-trick for the Bees’ B side at Southampton earlier in the month.

Toney’s reappearance might be the shot in the arm that Thomas Frank’s side needs to get them out of a run of seven without a win (L6 D1) in all competitions.

Victory over Nottingham Forest would see them leapfrog their opponents and move away from the danger of the drop zone.

Forest come in to the game in good form under Nuno Espirito Santos. Wins over Newcastle and Manchester United were followed by booking a place in the fourth round of the FA Cup, although it took two attempts and extra-time against Blackpool.

It’s a big ask to win three games in a row in the Premier League and Forest don’t have a great away record so a Toney-inspired Brentford can land the spoils at 4/5. With their top scorer back on board two or more Bees goals also appeals at the same price.

In the lunch-time kick-off Crystal Palace make the short trip to North London to take on Arsenal.

Manager Roy Hodgson came in for some criticism following Palace’s FA Cup exit at Everton and it’s hard to see things getting any easier for the veteran today.

The Gunners are long overdue a win and after a bit of a break should be raring to go. They’re 11/10 to score in each half today.

The weather has already affected fixtures in the Football League and in Scotland so check the fixture list before placing your bets today.

There’s no doubt that Coventry City are the form team in the Championship. Mark Robins’ men are nine without defeat (W6 D3) including a fine 3-1 win over league leaders Leicester City last time out.

They’ve a double bill against Sheffield Wednesday coming up, facing them today then next week in the FA Cup fourth round, both at Hillsborough. The in-form Sky Blues look well priced at 13/10.

The sorry state of affairs at Reading is having a major impact on the pitch. Last week’s match was abandoned thanks to a fan protest, the first team have been forced to re-jig training in order to avoid the costs of undersoil heating and it’s reported that Charlie Savage can’t play another match otherwise he’ll trigger a £2,000-a-month pay rise.

Amid so much turmoil it could be worth backing against the Royals who are at Wigan today. The Latics have had their own problems this season. But for an eight-point deduction they’d be 10th in the table – 11 places higher than Reading – and can avenge a defeat to today’s opponents just before Christmas.

Stevenage have scored in each of their last 12 league games and while they’re not prolific in front of goal they’ve a good record at home where they’ve only lost one of 12. They host Barnsley today and the Tykes have scored two or more in eight of their 12 away matches so this one looks primed for goals with Over 2.5 at 19/20.

92% of Notts County’s home matches have seen Over 2.5 goals and after we saw them share 10 goals with Grimsby last week it makes sense to go for goals when they host Stockport today.

They’re both the top scorers in League Two and when they met just before Christmas the game ended 2-1 to league leaders Stockport. Over 2.5 today pays 3/5.

A pitch inspection is planned ahead of Rangers’ visit to Dumbarton and should it go ahead the Gers should comfortably book their place in the last 16. It’s hard to find much value when they’re 1/16 to win but the BetBuilder which includes Dumbarton not to score (Under 1 goal) and Rangers to score more than two pays 21/20.

St Mirren, Motherwell, Hearts and Hibs all play teams at least two divisions below them and four wins for the Premiership sides pays 6/4.

Airdireonians could provide a tricky afternoon for St Johnstone. The Saints haven’t made it past the fourth round since they lifted the trophy in 2021 and if there’s to be an upset anywhere it could be in North Lanarkshire at 11/4.

Goals should be guaranteed at Ross County where Partick Thistle will be aiming to lay some ghosts of their disastrous play-off collapse of last season. Over 2.5 pays 8/11.

    Post from yesterday for anyone interested, prices been cut a little but still plenty value.

    Also looking at Airdrie at home to St Johnstone, been in good form recent weeks and again around 5/2 mark.

    Early one for tomorrow, Scottish cup Livvy v Raith……how on earth are raith 27/10 at a team who haven’t won in months. Raith been in good form albeit a blip or two in recent weeks, but surely worth a punt at those odds. In the same vein surely Partick away to Ross Co at 5/2 for same reasons is worth a look as well. Prices may well shorten so might be worth an early go at them (weather permitting of course).

    Raith win 27/10 NAP
    Partick win 5/2 NB
    Raith/Partick double touch under 12/1 LONGSHOT.

    BOL

    Cesena
    V
    Pontedera
    19:45
    Italian Serie C 🇮🇹

    Pontedera to score 13-10 HILLS NAP **
    BTTS 13-8 BETFAIR SPORTSBOOK NB **
    BTTS and over 2.5 goals 9-4 SKYBET

    Bit of a longshot as Cesena are top and don’t concede many goals especially at home.
    Ponty are no mugs though and have won their last 7 away games admittedly at lower placed sides but winning is a habit.
    They scored in 11/13 away games this season all told.
    Reverse game ended ponty 1 Cesena 3 and ponty scored in 4/5 head to head in last 2 years or so.

    Cesena average about 2 goals a game so if ponty score I’m confident the 3 bets will come in 🤣.

    Prediction 2-1.

      A bit of light hearted banter, I think the only one who lacks a bit of class is you sir with your post. Happy Hunting.
