GregsGoalsTips 1

THE first silverware of the season is up for grabs in Scotland in what is a sponsors' dream with Rangers and Celtic contesting the Final of the Betfred Cup.

Will be lots said and written about the game and it's a really tough match to call. Yes, Celtic have dominated for the last 3 years but as old cliches go it's a one-off match at a neutral venue with both sides having a terrific season both domestically and in Europe.

Will give my take on the match along with my Total Goals special from the last round of games from Serie A in Brazil at 7pm.

Rangers vs Celtic (3pm)

If you're north of the border there is no escaping this game – its the biggest cup final since the last time these two met at the National Stadium.

Celtic are rightly favourites given they've won the last 9 trophies available over the last three seasons but Rangers are going toe to toe with them in the league and with this being a one-off match,anything could happen.

This is absolutely no use to anyone but no outcome in this match would surprise me – I'm staying well clear of picking a winner but do feel though the bet builder is the best avenue to take.

Both sides have been impressive going forward and with that so matchwinners in each side it's hard to imagine this match not delivering at least 2 goals.

Willie Collum is the man in the middle and he'll be desperate to keep his cards in his pocket as long as he can but I doubt he'll still show at least 4 player a card in my view and their are plenty of candidates.

Sadly the bookies are well aware of this and some of the prices I've seen for players to be booked are quite frankly embarrassing.

It should be a terrific encounter and it's a no-thrills bet builder for me that won't be far away

Recommended Bets

  • Over 1.5 goals
  • Over 3.5 cards
  • Over 8.5 corners
  • 11/10 (bet365 Bet Builder)
  • Scott Brown & Ryan Jack both to be booked
  • 7/1 (bet365)

Brazilian Serie A League Finale Total Goals  – 9 matches (7pm)

As I mentioned on this week's Gambla Betting Podcast it's the season finale over in Brazilian Serie A with all 20 clubs in action. There are still Copa positons to play for and with this being the last round of matches I've been bang on the money when it comes to backing total goals, especially for league finales.

Sky Bet are offering total goals markets on 9 of the games and clearly aren't expecting goals with markets set as low as 22+ at 8/11 which IMO is really generous for 9 matches.

I'm happy to take that on with 8 clubs still playing for Copa places or to stay in the league.

Recommended Bets

  • 22+ goals to be scored
  • 4/5 (Skybet) (NAP)
  • 24+ goals to be scored
  • 11/8 (Skybet)
  • All 9 matches over 1.5 goals
  • 16/1 (Skybet)

    The weather could have a bearing on the final today, absolutely blowing a gale through here and the rain has been a constant for a cupla days. Underfoot conditions will be extremely testing and players sliding into challenges will struggle to control the follow through….red cards and penalties very possible

    Hope it’s one of the 0-0 games not included in the goals total bet as looking good so far. Anyone know?

    I did all the 9 games on bet365 over 0.5 fhg and the one that wasn’t listed at the time was the Fortaleza game so who knows ?

    Disappointing that the highest scoring game of the evening isn’t included, still a 11 goals a half time, in with a shout

    One of the games was abandoned on 85 minutes. I’m pretty sure they won’t pay out. I backed this as well ?

    Thought it was going to be one of those days

    Old firm bet builder done thanks to Morelos and 9 out of 10 over 1.5 goals in Brazil at 24/1

    So was nice to see a late late goal to land the NAP ?? ??⚽️

      Just read the rules on skybet. They won’t pay out as the match was abandoned, meaning all bets are void

    Which match was abandoned? There’s no mention on FlashScores.

    Just paid mine out too. If you read there terms though it does say it voids the bet! Anyway god they’ve paid out! Good work Greg!

      Funny because my FlashScores as just pinged with match abandoned. Would of been harsh to the void the bets considering the goals had already gone in.

    A nice victory for punters

    Anyone who backed 22+ was paid out

    Anyone who had any other special on had their bet voided and refunded ( which is great as the bet lost) ??⚽️
