SlipsTips shares a selection ahead of Partick Thistle’s clash with Airdrie in the Scottish Championship on Friday night.
Partick Thistle vs Airdrie (Friday, 19:45)
Friday night’s offering from the Scottish Championship will see Partick Thistle face off with Airdrie at Firhill.
The hosts have made a quietly impressive start to the season and will come into this clash off the back of back-to-back wins over Ross County and Raith Rovers.
In contrast, Airdrie are still targeting a maiden league win of the season after new manager Danny Lennon’s first game in charge ended in a 1-0 defeat at Arbroath last time out.
Given the pair’s contrasting starts to the season, it’s no surprise to see Partick Thistle as general 8/13 favourites here with most firms.
However, packaging up a home win alongside over 1.5 goals pays even-money (1/1) with William Hill and that looks like a worthy boost in price.
As already mentioned, Partick have posted a pair of wins over Ross County and Raith Rovers in recent weeks, hitting three goals in each of those respective victories.
What’s more, Mark Wilson’s men also defeated Ayr United in a Scottish League Cup last 16 tie at Firhill last month, running out 2-0 winners on that occasion.
With Thistle appearing to be heading in the right direction and building momentum, a home game with Airdrie looks like an ideal opportunity to put another three points on the board.
Not only did the Diamonds lose at Arbroath a fortnight ago, but they also came away empty-handed from a 2-0 defeat at Dunfermline on the second weekend of the season.
On top of that, Airdrie have drawn each of their two league games at home this season, so confidence is likely to be low heading into this match.
It’s also worth noting that Partick claimed top honours from two of the four meetings between the pair last season, hitting multiple goals in each of those two triumphs.
With all that in mind, I’m more than happy to propose a Partick Thistle success alongside over 1.5 goals on Friday night at an eye-catching even-money with William Hill.
