Few teams are in better form than Burnley and Scott Parker’s side will be looking to take another big step towards promotion when they host Sunderland tonight. Saturday’s 3-1 FA Cup success at Reading made it 14 games without defeat for the Clarets and a win tonight would send them to the Championship summit. Promotion specialist Parker has Burnley purring […]

Manchester United seem to have turned a corner under new boss Ruben Amorim but the last two games will count for nothing if they slip up at home to rock-bottom Southampton tonight.

Arsenal have the chance to fire themselves back into the Premier League title race as they prepare to renew hostilities with Tottenham in the North London derby tonight.

Nottingham Forest’s incredible run in the Premier League faces an acid test tonight as leaders Liverpool come calling. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side couldn’t be in better form heading into this clash, with their FA Cup win over Luton making it seven successive victories.

The FA Cup third-round action continues tonight as Dagenham & Redbridge bid to pull off the first major shock at Millwall. The closest we came to an almighty upset at the weekend was Tamworth holding Tottenham inside 90 minutes, although the Premier League side finally got the job done in extra-time. If National League outfit Dagenham & Redbridge manage to […]

It’s another busy day in the FA Cup third round and the pick of the ties sees Manchester United head to the Emirates to take on Arsenal. The Gunners are BoyleSports’ 7/10 favourites with home advantage but the last outing for both clubs might have the bookies sweating a little bit. Mikel Arteta’s side lost for the first time at […]
Posted on: 10 Jan 2025
The FA Cup third-round draw has thrown up a couple of ties for the romantics today as Accrington Stanley head to Anfield before Salford City make the short trip to the Etihad. But the bookies make the League Two sides rank outsiders and it’s hard to see either springing a shock away from home against the Premier League giants. Liverpool […]
Posted on: 10 Jan 2025
It’s all change at West Ham United with Graham Potter replacing Julen Lopetegui in the dugout but the new manager won’t have much time to make an impact before tonight’s FA Cup tie at Aston Villa. Everyone knew Lopetegui was a goner from the start of the week yet it took the Hammers until Wednesday night to finally sack him, […]
Posted on: 08 Jan 2025
Premier League sides enter the FA Cup tonight and Everton desperately need a confidence boost when they host Peterborough United in the third round.

Posted on: 07 Jan 2025
Armchair fans will be expecting another a thriller tonight as Liverpool lock horns with Tottenham Hotspur in the EFL Cup semi-final, just a few weeks after sharing nine goals in the Premier League.

Posted on: 06 Jan 2025
It’s semi-final time in the EFL Cup and the first leg of Arsenal’s clash with Newcastle tonight is a tricky one to call. The Gunners have yet to lose at the Emirates this season so it’s no great surprise to see them as BoyleSports’ 8/13 favourites with home advantage, although a sickness bug has hit Mikel Arteta’s squad. Newcastle have […]
Posted on: 05 Jan 2025
Two form sides collide in the Premier League tonight as Wolverhampton Wanderers host Nottingham Forest in what should be a thrilling Midlands derby. The arrival of new boss Vitor Periera has sparked Wolves back to life and they’ve moved out of the drop zone after collecting seven points from his first three games in charge. But the Molineux men now […]
Posted on: 04 Jan 2025
Manchester United are in freefall under new boss Ruben Amorim and have a daunting game today as they head to Anfield to take on Premier League leaders Liverpool.

Posted on: 03 Jan 2025
It’s a busy day in the Premier League and Tottenham Hotspur fans will be fearing the worst when in-form Newcastle United come calling. The Magpies were superb in their last outing as they eased to a 2-0 victory away to Manchester United, a team in equally poor form to Ange Postecoglou’s struggling Spurs. I cashed in by backing Wolves to […]
Posted on: 02 Jan 2025
Falkirk have the chance to move nine points clear in the SPFL Championship title race tonight and it’s hard to see them slipping up at rock-bottom Airdrieonians. The Bairns dropped two points last Friday in a breathless derby with Dunfermline as the Pars came from behind three times in a 3-3 thriller. But that didn’t damage their title push as […]
Posted on: 01 Jan 2025
Rangers boss Philippe Clement heads into the second Old Firm derby of the season under intense pressure after watching his side fall 14 points behind Celtic in the title race.

It was a case of close but no cigar for Arsenal in 2024 but they will be hoping to kick off the new year with a win at Brentford to keep them in the Premier League title hunt. While the Gunners made plenty of progress in England’s top flight and the Champions League last term, they ended the season without […]
Posted on: 30 Dec 2024
Happy Hogmanay to one and all, here’s hoping we can find some winners today before ringing in the new year. There’s a few fixtures in the UK and Partick Thistle’s trip to Cappielow to take on Morton in the SPFL Championship is the pick of the games. Morton have been a tough nut to crack in recent weeks and head […]
Posted on: 29 Dec 2024
The festive games keep coming thick and fast in the Premier League and there’s a cracker tonight as Manchester United host in-form Newcastle.

But while the […]
Posted on: 28 Dec 2024
Ange Postecoglou isn’t feeling very festive with Tottenham Hotspur in the midst of an alarming slump and faces a must-win game when Wolverhampton Wanderers come calling today. A run of just three wins in 12 games has piled pressure on the Aussie and his side look vulnerable with injuries mounting up in defence. Spurs could head into this game without […]
Posted on: 27 Dec 2024
It’s a strange Saturday with no top-flight British football being played but there’s a huge clash in Italy as Serie A leaders Atalanta take on Lazio in Rome. A stunning run of 11 successive league wins has taken Gian Piero Gasperini’s side to the summit but the title race is close, with fourth-placed Lazio only six points behind them. The […]
Posted on: 26 Dec 2024
Arsenal look like being the only creditable challengers to runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool and they should keep their title hopes alive with a home win over struggling Ipswich Town tonight. With Manchester City forgetting how to win games of football and Chelsea dropping five points in their last two matches, the Gunners are the only team who seem capable […]
Posted on: 25 Dec 2024
There’s a feast of festive football today and it will be fascinating to see if Santa has brought a change in fortunes for Manchester City. The Premier League champions were a team in freefall heading into Christmas, with Pep Guardiola’s side winning just once in 12 games in all competitions. That has left them lagging behind leaders Liverpool and City […]
Posted on: 24 Dec 2024
Merry Christmas to one and all but if you’re looking to escape the festivities for a while there’s a couple of intriguing games at the Arabian Gulf Cup today. It was a mixed bag in Group A yesterday with Qatar letting me down but hosts Kuwait delivering as they claimed a surprise 2-1 win over the UAE. Now it’s over […]
Posted on: 23 Dec 2024
With European football on hold for a few days as we count down to Christmas, punters need to look further afield for their football fix. Thankfully, there’s an international tournament going on in the Middle East to help fill the void over the next couple of days as teams slug it out in the Arabian Gulf Cup. The group stage […]
Posted on: 23 Dec 2024
Birmingham City have been playing catch up in the League One title race but have the chance to hit the summit tonight as they visit struggling Crawley Town. The Blues have two games in hand on leaders Wycombe and have played three fewer than third-placed Wrexham so this is their chance to make a statement. Both title rivals dropped points […]
Posted on: 22 Dec 2024
It’s another big day in the Premier League title race and the clash between leaders Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur should be a Christmas cracker. Tottenham’s last two games at home have been 4-3 thrillers, with Ange Postecoglou’s side coming out on top once and losing the other. The victory came against Manchester United in the EFL Cup in midweek but […]
Posted on: 21 Dec 2024
Manchester City’s remarkable slump shows no sign of stopping and they face another tough game today on the road at Aston Villa. Even when Pep Guardiola’s side were in much better shape last term they lost at Villa Park so it’s hard to make a case for them in the midst of a run that has seen them win just […]
Posted on: 20 Dec 2024
There’s Friday night festive football in the SPFL Premiership tonight and it’s a tough one to call as Motherwell host Kilmarnock. A look at the table would tell you the Steelmen should be favourites, given they’re riding high in fourth place and sit eight points ahead of Killie with a game in hand. But Derek McInnes’ men are always a […]
Posted on: 19 Dec 2024
They’ve saved the best for last in the EFL Cup quarter-finals as tonight’s clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United should be a cracker.

Posted on: 18 Dec 2024
It’s quarter-final time in the EFL Cup and it’s hard to see crisis club Southampton springing a shock against Liverpool. Boss Russell Martin was axed on Sunday night after his rock-bottom side crashed to a 5-0 defeat at home to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. Spurs were a team in dismal form heading into that clash yet scored five […]
Posted on: 17 Dec 2024
Livingston have fired themselves right back into the title mix in the SPFL Championship and have the chance to move just two points behind leaders Falkirk tonight with a win at Airdrie.

Posted on: 16 Dec 2024
The Premier League treated us to some unbelievable drama over the weekend and the thrills should continue tonight as in-form AFC Bournemouth look to pile pressure back on West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui. Just over a week ago it looked like Lopetegui would be the next Premier League manager to be axed but he earned himself some breathing space by […]
Posted on: 13 Dec 2024
Arsenal dropped more points in the Premier League title race last weekend but should return to winning ways today when they host struggling Everton. Mikel Arteta’s side can’t afford many more slips if they’re to reel in leaders Liverpool and will be confident of seeing off Sean Dyche’s side at the Emirates. The Gunners are unbeaten at home this term, […]
Posted on: 12 Dec 2024
A run of six EFL Championship games without a win has left Derby County hovering too close to the drop zone for comfort so they will be desperate to get back on track with a win over Portsmouth tonight.

Posted on: 11 Dec 2024
Ange Postecoglou left Glasgow as a hero but returns to the city tonight for Tottenham’s Europa League clash with Rangers as a man under serious pressure. Tottenham fans warmed to the former Celtic manager’s cavalier football when he replaced the dour Antonio Conte but they’re now getting sick of watching entertaining defeats. Spurs threw away a 2-0 lead in Sunday’s […]
Posted on: 10 Dec 2024
It’s crunch time for some of Europe’s biggest clubs in the Champions League and Manchester City can ill afford another stumble when they take on Juventus tonight.

Posted on: 09 Dec 2024
Liverpool haven’t put a foot wrong in the UEFA Champions League so far and should chalk up another win tonight in Girona.

The Reds will be fresh after their weekend derby with Everton fell victim to the weather […]
Posted on: 08 Dec 2024
The stakes couldn’t be higher in tonight’s Premier League clash with the West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers bosses both needing a win to save their skins. West Ham’s 3-1 loss at fellow strugglers Leicester last Monday left Julen Lopetegui on the brink and it was then Gary O’Neil’s turn to feel the heat when Wolves crashed 4-0 on the […]
Posted on: 08 Dec 2024
Some Tottenham Hotspur fans have started to turn on Ange Postecoglou and things could get ugly for the Aussie if his side lose at home London rivals Chelsea today. Travelling supporters gave their manager both barrels after Thursday’s 1-0 loss at Bournemouth made it three games without a win in all competitions. Injuries and suspension have hit Spurs hard so […]
Posted on: 06 Dec 2024
The Merseyside derby should be a cracker today as Everton host Liverpool for the last time at Goodison Park in the Premier League. With the Toffees moving to a new stadium at the end of the season, this will be the final Goodison derby unless the teams are drawn together in the FA Cup. Liverpool lost 2-0 on their last […]
Posted on: 05 Dec 2024
Burnley have the chance to go top in the EFL Championship tonight but won’t have it easy as in-form Middlesbrough come to Turf Moor. The Clarets went through a sticky spell where they only collected three points in four games but the response has been tremendous, with four successive wins taking them up to second place. With leaders Sheffield United […]
Posted on: 04 Dec 2024
The midweek Premier League card comes to a climax tonight and the clash between AFC Bournemouth and Tottenham Hotspur has the potential to be a cracker. Spurs remain maddeningly inconsistent and they were booed off at the weekend after following up their stunning 4-0 win over Manchester City with a 1-1 draw at home to Fulham. Ange Postecoglou just can’t […]
Posted on: 03 Dec 2024
Manchester City’s shock slump has seen them go seven games without a win but the bookies reckon they will finally get back on track at home to Nottingham Forest tonight. Kwiff price Pep Guardiola’s side at just 8/25 while Forest are 27/5 outsiders but those odds look a little off after watching the champions turn in another dispirited display at […]
Posted on: 02 Dec 2024
There’s a full Premier League card this midweek and the pick of tonight’s two games is Ruud van Nistelrooy’s dugout debut at Leicester City. The Dutchman has a tough job on his hands after Saturday’s 4-1 loss at Brenford left the Foxes hovering just a point above the drop zone. But he will fancy his chances of getting off to […]
Posted on: 01 Dec 2024
The Scottish Cup third round threw up a few surprises over the weekend but it would be a major shock if Championship leaders Falkirk slipped up at East Kilbride tonight.

Posted on: 30 Nov 2024
Liverpool are going from strength to strength under Arne Slot and a win at Anfield today would move them 11 points clear of Premier League champions Manchester City.

Posted on: 29 Nov 2024
It’s a pretty quiet day in the Premier League with most of the big boys in action tomorrow but Arsenal’s trip to West Ham has the potential to be a cracker.

Posted on: 29 Nov 2024
There’s Friday night Premier League football this week and the clash between Brighton and Southampton should be a good watch. Two of the youngest managers in the top flight face off as 31-year-old Fabian Hurzeler takes on Russell Martin, who is just eight years his senior. Both like to play attacking football but while it’s working nicely for the flying […]
Posted on: 27 Nov 2024
Ruben Amorim makes his Old Trafford bow tonight and the new Manchester United boss should get up an running with a Europa League win over Bodo/Glimt.

Posted on: 26 Nov 2024
The revamped Champions League throws up plenty of blockbuster games and there’s a cracker tonight as European champions Real Madrid head to Anfield. The season couldn’t have started any better for Liverpool, with Arne Slot’s side topping the table in the both the Premier League and Champions League, having lost just once in 18 games. That’s the kind of form […]
Posted on: 26 Nov 2024
Manchester City’s shock slump continued with a 4-0 battering by Tottenham on Saturday but the bookies still make them heavy favourites to beat Feyenoord in the UEFA Champions League tonight.

Posted on: 24 Nov 2024
West Ham United boss Julen Lopetegui already has the air of a dead man walking and it’s hard to see a revival starting tonight when he takes his side to Newcastle. The talk earlier this week was that the Hammers were already sounding out a successor, with former Dortmund boss Edin Terzic the name in the frame. The Hammers have […]
Posted on: 23 Nov 2024
The long wait is finally over as Ruben Amorim prepares to make his Manchester United bow today against Ipswich Town. The Sporting Lisbon boss was announced as manager at the start of this month but waited until the international break before taking the reins. Results under interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy proved their expensive squad had underachieved in Erik ten […]
Posted on: 22 Nov 2024
Manchester City went into the international break on their worse run under Pep Guardiola but the bookies are banking on them roaring back to life at home to Tottenham Hotspur today.

Posted on: 21 Nov 2024
Action in the EFL gets back underway tonight, with an intriguing Championship clash between Plymouth Argyle and Watford taking top billing.

Tonight they face a Watford side sitting fifth and […]
Posted on: 20 Nov 2024
Arsenal Women have responded well to their Champions League battering by Bayern and can seal a quarter-final slot by beating Juventus in London tonight.

But […]
Posted on: 19 Nov 2024
With the UEFA Nations League action finally over, it’s back to club football for the foreseeable future, kicking off with the women’s Champions League tonight.

Craig Bellamy continues to go from strength to strength as Wales boss and will finish his maiden UEFA Nations League campaign unbeaten if his side avoid defeat against Iceland tonight.

Posted on: 17 Nov 2024
Scotland have sparked their Nations League campaign into life in the last couple of games and head into tonight’s clash in Poland with an outside chance of reaching the quarter-finals. For the Scots to jump above both the Poles and Croatia to pinch second spot they will need to win in Warsaw and hope group leaders Portugal do them a […]
Posted on: 16 Nov 2024
Lee Carsley’s reign as England boss comes to an end today and he should sign off with the win that returns England to the top tier of the UEFA Nations League. The Under-21s gaffer has done a decent job as caretaker and Thursday’s impressive 3-0 victory in Athens returned the Three Lions to the top of Group B2. Carsley kicked […]
Posted on: 15 Nov 2024
Craig Bellamy has made an impressive start to his reign as Wales boss but faces his biggest test yet with a trip to Turkey in the Nations League.

Posted on: 14 Nov 2024
If Scotland are to escape relegation from the UEFA Nations League top tier they probably need to take a least a point from Croatia at Hampden tonight.

Posted on: 13 Nov 2024
Lee Carsley continues his long goodbye as caretaker England boss in the Nations League and will be out for revenge in Athens tonight. The Wembley loss to the Greeks remains the only blot on Carsley’s copybook, with the Three Lions easing to a couple of victories over Finland and another win in Dublin against the Irish. His decision to play […]
Posted on: 12 Nov 2024
There’s a Battle of Britain in the women’s Champions League tonight as Celtic take on Chelsea at Parkhead. But the bookies reckon it’s a mismatch instead of a potential firecracker, with Betano pricing the Hoops at a massive 35/1 for a win and the Blues 1/50 hot favourites. With the English giants top of Group B after two wins and […]
Posted on: 12 Nov 2024
It’s a busy night in the EFL Trophy and one of the most interesting ties sees Manchester United’s Under-21s head to Huddersfield Town.

Posted on: 10 Nov 2024
The action for punters is always a little lean heading into an international break so we’re off to Argentina tonight for some top-flight action.

The leaders are in excellent form, losing just once […]
Posted on: 09 Nov 2024
Arsenal desperately need a win today to get their season back on track but it won’t be easy in a London derby against Chelsea.

Posted on: 08 Nov 2024
Manchester City are in the middle of a surprise slump and if they lose at Brighton and Hove Albion today it will be the first time Pep Guardiola has suffered four successive defeats.

Posted on: 07 Nov 2024
The Friday night action in the EFL Championship comes from Vicarage Road as Watford look to keep up their strong home form with a win over Oxford United.

Posted on: 06 Nov 2024
Tottenham Hotspur have a perfect record so far in the UEFA Europa League but face their biggest test so far with a trip to Turkey to face Galatasaray tonight.

Posted on: 05 Nov 2024
Arsenal desperately need a Champions League win tonight to get their stuttering season back on track but won’t get it easy as they take on Italian champions Inter Milan at the San Siro.

Posted on: 04 Nov 2024
Ruben Amorim’s long-term goal at Old Trafford is to knock Manchester City off their perch and he has a chance to strike an early blow tonight while still in the dugout at Sporting Lisbon.

Posted on: 03 Nov 2024
There’s another London derby in the Premier League tonight and it should be a decent watch as Fulham and Brentford lock horns at Craven Cottage. Marco Silva’s men have hit a bump in the road recently, collecting just one point from their last three in the league, but they’ve been tough games and the two defeats came to Manchester City […]
Posted on: 02 Nov 2024
Philippe Clement looks like a dead man walking at Rangers and if his side lose to Motherwell in the League Cup semi-final today it could bring an end to his rollercoaster reign.

Posted on: 01 Nov 2024
This could be a big day in the Premier League title race, with the top three all in action and Arsenal looking a bit vulnerable as they head to Newcastle.

Posted on: 31 Oct 2024
There’s a big game in the EFL Championship tonight as Luton Town and West Bromwich Albion both look to put slumps behind them with a win.

Posted on: 30 Oct 2024
There’s no British action tonight but some of the big boys are in action in Serie A, with three games to feast on.

Posted on: 29 Oct 2024
It’s a massive night in the SPFL Premiership title race as Aberdeen look to pile the misery on a Rangers side in poor form.

Posted on: 28 Oct 2024
The EFL Cup gets back underway tonight and the two last-16 ties see Championship clubs visit Premier League opposition. This tournament often throws up a few shocks, with top-flight managers often prioritising league games ahead of a cup run, and it will be interesting to see what kind of team Southampton boss Russell Martin fields against Stoke City. Martin was […]
Posted on: 27 Oct 2024
Blackpool head into tonight’s League One clash with Wigan Athletic off the back of three successive defeats, including a 5-1 thrashing by Peterborough.

Posted on: 27 Oct 2024
It’s a big day in the Premier League title race as leaders Liverpool head to the Emirates looking to pile on the pain for injury-hit Arsenal.

Posted on: 25 Oct 2024
Southampton already looked doomed to the drop and they could suffer a heavy defeat at the Etihad today if Manchester City are in the mood.

Posted on: 24 Oct 2024
Nottingham Forest started the season as fourth in the betting for Premier League relegation but a win at Leicester City tonight would send the soaring above Spurs, Chelsea and Brighton to fifth place. Nuno Espirito Santo inherited a squad with plenty of talent and has now found the right balance for his starting XI, with Forest losing just one of […]
Posted on: 23 Oct 2024
There’s a cracker of a tie in the Europa League tonight as Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce host Manchester United. The self-styled Special One has lost a bit of lustre since being sacked by United in 2018, with his only success coming in the Conference League with Roma. His Fenerbahce reign hasn’t got off to a sparkling start either, with the Turks […]
Posted on: 22 Oct 2024
It has been nice to hit a hot streak, with all three Super Singles landing for three days in a row, so hopefully the run will go on with some winners in tonight’s Champions League games.

Posted on: 21 Oct 2024
The Champions League gets back underway tonight and it will be interesting to see how Arsenal respond to their first defeat of the season.

Posted on: 20 Oct 2024
Crystal Palace have arguably been the big underachievers so far in the Premier League and they desperately need a win at Nottingham Forest tonight to spark their season into life. Oliver Glasner had the Eagles flying after taking over last term and they finished the campaign as one of the form teams in the division. But Palace just haven’t clicked […]
Posted on: 20 Oct 2024
Chelsea and Liverpool have both been performing above expectations so far in the Premier League and today’s clash at Anfield has the potential to be a cracker. Most people expected the Reds to have a season of transition with Arne Slot stepping into Jurgen Klopp’s sizeable shoes but the Dutchman has them sitting top of the pile. Liverpool’s only slip […]

The Premier League returns after the international break and Erik ten Hag can’t afford another slip-up today when Manchester United host Brentford. Plenty of top-flight managers would have been looking over their shoulder during the break as it’s the perfect time for boards to dig out a P45 and usher in a new man at the helm. But Ten Hag […]

There’s a cracker in the EFL Championship tonight as title favourites Leeds United host a Sheffield United side who have yet to taste defeat in the league. Only goal difference is keeping the Blades off the summit so I’m surprised to see them as big as 10/3 for a win at Elland Road with Betano. Leeds sit fifth but would […]

Exeter City are making push for the play-off places in League One and a win tonight on the road at Shrewsbury Town would move them up to fourth place. The Grecians have never got beyond the third tier of English football before but they’re giving it a go under Gary Caldwell after mid-table finishes in the last couple of seasons. […]

It’s all about the women’s Champions League tonight and it will be fascinating to see how Arsenal react against Valerenga just a day after head coach Jonas Eidevall resigned. I backed Bayern Munich to beat the Gunners in their last Euro outing but was still surprised how easy it was for the Germans as they strolled to a 5-2 victory. […]

The UEFA Nations League has brought Steve Clarke plenty of pain so far and Portugal will be out to pile on the misery at Hampden tonight. Scotland have suffered three successive defeats in their group, putting up decent performances in every game before suffering late heartbreak. But the Portuguese have won every match so far, including a 3-1 triumph away […]

Craig Bellamy has yet to taste defeat as Wales manager, even though Friday’s 2-2 draw in Iceland must have hurt a little after his side threw away a two-goal lead. I went for goals in that game and wasn’t disappointed as Bellamy’s policy of attack led to plenty of chances at both ends. He has now overseen draws with Turkey […]
Posted on: 13 Oct 2024
Greece bust plenty of coupons with their 2-1 win at Wembley on Thursday night and that defeat has seriously hampered Lee Carsley’s hopes of landing the England job full-time. Another slip in the UEFA Nations League away to Finland tonight would prove fatal but Betano make the Three Lions 1/4 hot favourites to bounce back with a win. With Finland […]
Posted on: 11 Oct 2024
Scotland are on the worst run in their history and the bookies don’t fancy their chances of ending the agony in Croatia tonight. Steve Clarke’s side qualified for Euro 2024 on a wave of optimism after starting their qualifying campaign with an unprecedented five successive victories, including a 2-0 triumph over Spain. But it has all gone wrong since then, […]
Posted on: 10 Oct 2024
Craig Bellamy has got off to a promising start as Wales boss and will be looking to keep the feelgood factor going when he takes his side to Iceland tonight in the UEFA Nations League. With a home draw against Euro 2024 quarter-finalists Turkey and a win on the road Montenegro under his belt already, Bellamy has got the Welsh […]
Posted on: 09 Oct 2024
Lee Carsley’s England audition has gone pretty much to plan so far and it would be a major surprise if Greece threw a spanner in the works at Wembley tonight. The interim boss has been handed a kind run of games to press his case for a permanent job with the Three Lions slumming it in the second tier of […]
Posted on: 08 Oct 2024
It’s all about the women’s Champions League tonight as Arsenal and Manchester City take on a couple of Euro heavyweights. The Gunners are the only English side ever to get their hands on the trophy but that triumph came way back in season 2006-07. They are away to Bayern Munich tonight and will be hoping for a repeat of the […]

Falkirk’s run as SPFL Invincibles is over but they’re still on track for a second successive promotion after beating Championship title rivals Ayr at the weekend. John McGlynn’s side 43-game unbeaten league run ended at Raith Rovers but they responded in the best possible way as a 2-0 home victory over the Honest Men moved them level on points with […]
Posted on: 06 Oct 2024
It’s slim pickings for punters today as we head into the international break but there’s one game in League Two as Braford City host Newport County. A win would take the Welsh side into the play-off places but they would already be there if it wasn’t for their poor away form. Nelson Jardim’s men have lost four of their five […]
Posted on: 06 Oct 2024
Erik ten Hag is living on borrowed time at Manchester United and he could be forced closer to the exit if his side lose away to Aston Villa today. After a 3-0 battering from Tottenham last weekend it looked like Porto would hammer the final nail in his coffin when they came from 2-0 down to lead United 3-2 on […]
Posted on: 04 Oct 2024
Southampton have made a miserable start to the Premier League season and things should get even worse today when they take on high-flying Arsenal. While the Gunners are now favourites for the title, Saints are leading the odds for relegation after taking just a point from their first six games. Manager Russell Martin has turned on his players after the […]
Posted on: 04 Oct 2024
It’s back to the domestic action tonight after a feast of European football over the last few days. But there’s still a huge game in the EFL Championship as leaders Sunderland take on title favourites Leeds United. The Black Cats are still outsiders for the crown yet a win tonight would take them six points clear of Daniel Farke’s side. […]
Posted on: 03 Oct 2024
The heat is on for Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag as he takes his side to Portugal tonight for a crunch Europa League clash with Porto. Whenever the Old Trafford has faced intense calls for his head, he has somehow managed to pull a win out of the bag but it won’t be easy at the Dragao Stadium. United […]
Posted on: 01 Oct 2024
It’s another big night in the UEFA Champions League and Bayern Munich’s trip to Villa Park takes top billing. This clash is a repeat of the 1982 European Cup Final and Aston Villa fans will be hoping that’s an omen as they beat the Germans giants 1-0 that night to be crowned kings of the continent. These clubs have gone […]
Posted on: 30 Sep 2024
It’s matchday two in the UEFA Champions League and the best game for neutrals could come in Dortmund as Celtic roll into town. The Hoops impressed in their Euro opener as they routed Slovan Bratislava at Celtic Park but last season’s runners-up present a massive step up in class. Brendan Rodgers can take some heart from the fact Borussia have […]
Posted on: 29 Sep 2024
Southampton’s Premier League return hasn’t gone to plan so far and they head to Bournemouth tonight after collecting just one point from their first five games. It looked like Saints would get their season up and running last time out when they led Ipswich at home but Russell Martin’s side then conceded a late leveller. Poor defending has cost them […]
Posted on: 29 Sep 2024
Things couldn’t have gone much better on Saturday as it kicked off with a 13/1 card bet landing and ended with Lawrence Shankland scoring a stoppage-time goal to bring up all of our super singles. Here’s hoping our luck holds today and the big Premier League game sees Manchester United host Tottenham, with pressure building on Erik ten Hag again. […]
Posted on: 28 Sep 2024
Manchester City dropped their first Premier League points last weekend and have another tricky game today as they take on Newcastle at St James’ Park. Only a last-gasp equaliser kept City at the top of the table as title rivals Arsenal came within a whisker of an epic Etihad win with 10 men. Pep Guardiola also suffered a blow as […]
Posted on: 27 Sep 2024
Luton Town have been looking more like themselves in recent weeks and will be out to make it three EFL Championship wins in a row when they visit Plymouth Argyle tonight. There was a hangover after Premier League relegation for Rob Edwards’ men as they went five games without a win in all competitions at the start of this season. […]
Posted on: 26 Sep 2024
Tottenham Hotspur are the favourites for the Europa League and they kick off their campaign at home to Qarabag tonight. Ange Postecoglou has made a rod for his own back by claiming he always wins a trophy in his second season but the bookies reckon he could live up to that boast in Europe. The Aussie was feeling the heat […]
Posted on: 24 Sep 2024
The revamped UEFA Europa League gets underway tonight and the pick of the games sees Dutch side FC Twente head to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United. Erik ten Hag’s side flopped miserably in the Champions League last term, finishing bottom of their group, but they are second favourites behind Spurs to win the second-tier competition this term. With […]
Posted on: 24 Sep 2024
There are plenty of David v Goliath ties in the third round of the EFL Cup tonight thanks to the new seeded draw. And the most intriguing one comes at Adams Park as League One Wycombe Wanderers bid to pull off a shock against Aston Villa. With Unai Emery’s side juggling Premier League and Champions League football this season, I’d […]
Posted on: 22 Sep 2024
Fleetwood Town have made a slow start to their League Two promotion push but a win over whipping boys Morecambe tonight would lift them up the table. The Cod Army were relegated last season and boss Charlie Adam is looking to take them back up at the first attempt. But Fleetwood have won just two of their first five games […]
Posted on: 21 Sep 2024
THE top two collide in the Premier League today at the Etihad as Arsenal complete a tough run of away games with a clash against Manchester City. The Gunners have claimed a 1-0 derby win at Tottenham and ground out a 0-0 draw at Atalanta in their last two outings, with their defence and keeper David Raya stealing the show. […]
Posted on: 20 Sep 2024
IT’S a big weekend at the bottom of the Premier League table as the four favourites for the drop all face each other. Freefalling Everton are in desperate need of a lift after taking no points from their first four games and crashing out of the EFL Cup to Southampton on penalties. The bookies still think Sean Dyche’s men will […]
Posted on: 19 Sep 2024
AFTER a feast of Champions League football over the last three days, it’s slimmer picking for punters today. But there’s a League Cup quarter-final in Scotland and it’s a tough one to call as Dundee United head to Fir Park to take on Motherwell. Both teams have made decent starts in the SPFL Premiership, with United sitting fourth and Well […]
Posted on: 18 Sep 2024
The UEFA Champions League football continues tonight and Arsenal will be looking to build on the derby win over Spurs as they take on Atalanta in Italy.

Posted on: 17 Sep 2024
It’s another big night in the UEFA Champions League and Manchester City’s opener will bring back memories of the greatest moment in the club’s history. Pep Guardiola’s men beat Inter Milan by a single goal in the showpiece two seasons ago to get their hands on the European Cup for the first time. And it’s the Serie A giants who […]
Posted on: 16 Sep 2024
The UEFA Champions League gets up and running tonight and the pick of the games sees Liverpool head to the San Siro to take on AC Milan. It’s a repeat of the 2005 final, which is regarded as one of the greatest games of all time after the Reds came from 3-0 down in Istanbul to shock the Serie A […]
Posted on: 15 Sep 2024
The idea of a game between Birmingham City and Wrexham being a Hollywood blockbuster would have been laughable a few years ago. But tonight’s League One clash at St Andrew’s will be big news across the Atlantic as it pits Tom Brady against Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Wrexham’s rise up the leagues under their movie star owners probably played […]
Posted on: 14 Sep 2024
The next few games will go a long way to shaping Arsenal’s season, with today’s derby against Spurs followed by their Champion League opener away to Atalanta then a showdown with title rivals Manchester City at the Etihad. Mikel Arteta would have wanted a fit and firing squad for those massive tests but skipper Martin Odegaard will miss all three […]
Posted on: 14 Sep 2024
The Premier League returns today, and the action kicks off with a must-win game for Manchester United at Southampton. After clinging to his job by his fingernails at the end of last season, Erik ten Hag needed to get off to a decent start in the new campaign. But after scraping a 1-0 win over Fulham at Old Trafford the […]
Posted on: 12 Sep 2024
There’s second-tier action on both sides of the border tonight, with Sheffield United’s trip to Hull City taking top billing. The Blades have made a decent start in the EFL Championship since relegation from the top flight, with two wins and two draws in their first four games. Hull have drawn three of their league games so far and new […]
Posted on: 11 Sep 2024
It’s another quiet night as we come out of the international break but there’s a game in the EFL as Doncaster Rovers look to stretch their lead in League Two at Harrogate Town.

It’s slim pickings for punters today with the international football grinding to a halt but there are some club games to fill the void. The Emperor’s Cup has reached the quarter-final stage in Japan and Sanfrecce Hiroshima host Gamba Osaka as they bid to keep their dreams of a double alive. Sanfrecce had been on track for the treble but […]
Posted on: 09 Sep 2024
Lee Carsley got off to an impressive start as England interim boss on Saturday in Dublin and will be looking to build on that display when Finland come calling in the UEFA Europa League. Taking on the Republic of Ireland away from home was a tricky opener given England’s poor record on Irish soil but the game was won inside […]
Posted on: 08 Sep 2024
It’s another busy night of UEFA Nations League action, and Craig Bellamy will be looking to claim his first win as Wales boss on the road in Montenegro. Bellamy’s reign kicked off with a creditable 0-0 with Turkey on Friday, although it was also a missed opportunity given they were up against a side down to 10 men for the […]
Posted on: 07 Sep 2024
Scotland’s slump has continued into the UEFA Nations League and it’s hard to see things getting any better when they take on Portugal tonight. Despite playing well against Poland at Hampden on Thursday and rallying from 2-0 down, a daft stoppage-time challenge from Grant Hanley gifted the Poles a late penalty winner. It’s now just one win in 13 games […]
Posted on: 07 Sep 2024
England begin life after Gareth Southgate as Lee Carsley takes charge for tonight’s UEFA Nations League clash with the Republic of Ireland. Carsley could have easily been in the other dugout tonight, as the former Republic midfielder was heavily linked with the Irish job before Heimir Hallgrimsson took charge. He’s now leading the Three Lions on a temporary basis, but […]
Posted on: 05 Sep 2024
A new era begins for Wales tonight as Craig Bellamy leads the Dragons into battle for the first time in the UEFA Nations League. The former Liverpool and Newcastle striker will be desperate to get off to a winning start but it won’t be easy as Turkey head to Cardiff. The Turks caught the eye at Euro 2024 as they […]
Posted on: 04 Sep 2024
The UEFA Nations League kicks off tonight and Scotland are in desperate need of a lift when Poland come to Hampden. The Tartan Army marched on Germany in huge numbers this summer in the hope Steve Clarke’s men would make history by reaching the knockout stages of a major tournament for the first time. Instead they suffered a case of […]
Posted on: 04 Sep 2024
It’s slim pickings for punters again today, with the quarter-finals of the J.League Cup taking top billing. Sanfreece Hiroshima are on course for a domestic treble as they sit top of the pile in the league, albeit only on goal difference from Machida Zelvia, and are also in the quarter-finals of the Emperor’s Cup. But they have a tricky tie […]
Posted on: 02 Sep 2024
There’s a host of EFL Trophy ties for punters to tackle tonight and several Under-21 sides from the top flight are on the road at tricky venues. These games are a far cry from life in the pampered academies as they take on grizzled pros from the lower leagues and it will be interesting to see how Arsenal’s Under-21s get […]
Posted on: 02 Sep 2024
It’s slim pickings for punters today as we head into the international break but there’s one fixture in League Two to sink our teeth into. Salford City host Milton Keynes Dons and it’s a big game for both teams as they bid to get rolling after poor starts to the campaign. These clubs have ambitions to play at a higher […]

Armchair fans are in for a treat today with two of the biggest fixtures in British football taking place on a Super Sunday that lives up to its name for once.

Posted on: 30 Aug 2024
Brighton and Hove Albion have made a great start under new boss Fabian Hurzeler but today’s trip to Arsenal is the ultimate test of their progress under the young German. The Gunners have also won both their Premier League games so far and last week’s 2-0 victory at Aston Villa was a major statement of intent as they look to […]
Posted on: 29 Aug 2024
Luton Town were among the favourites for promotion in the EFL Championship this season but have collected just a point from three games so far. Relegation from the top flight seems to have sapped confidence a little and Rob Edwards badly needs his players to get back to winning ways against QPR tonight. These sides faced off just a few […]
Posted on: 29 Aug 2024
The mood music has changed at Chelsea after Sunday’s mauling of Wolves and Enzo Maresca will be looking for another win against Servette in Switzerland tonight. The Blues are in command of their UEFA Conference League play-off after winning 2-0 in the first leg and they followed that up by romping to a 6-2 victory at Molineux. There was a […]
Posted on: 28 Aug 2024
It’s another big night in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers with four more play-off ties coming to a conclusion. Dinamo Zagreb look home and dry as they lead Qarabag 3-0 but the other three ties are still in the balance and the pick of the games sees Bodo/Glimt head to Red Star Belgrade. The Norwegian side have never reached the […]
Posted on: 27 Aug 2024
Three Champions League play-offs come to a conclusion to night and the pick of the ties sees BSC Young Boys head to Istanbul to take on Galatasaray. I tipped the Turks to win the first leg with their Swiss opponents in awful form domestically but Young Boys rose to the occasion and edged a 3-2 thriller. The bookies still don’t […]
Posted on: 27 Aug 2024
In one of the more interesting La Liga games this week, we have Athletic Bilbao hosting bottom-of-the-table Bats at San Mames on the 28th of August. Athletic Bilbao aren’t enjoying a solid La Liga start. Coach Ernesto Valverde’s players failed to win both of their opening games. However, we should note that one of those matches was a game against […]
Posted on: 27 Aug 2024
Matchday #3 in La Liga is approaching and Atletico Madrid are taking on Catalan side Espanyol on the 28th of August at Estadio Metropolitano. Despite the lavish spending, Atletico Madrid failed the opening domestic league test. The game versus in-form Villarreal ended 2-2, but we do believe the Mattress Makers have what it takes to be considered in the title […]
Posted on: 26 Aug 2024
The second round of the EFL Cup is here and we will get to see AFC Wimbledon vs Ipswich Town clash on the 28th of August at the famous Cherry Red Records Stadium.

The EFL Cup match between Birmingham and Fulham will be played on the 27th of August at St. Andrew’s Stadium.

Posted on: 25 Aug 2024
Real Mallorca will have to face lacklustre Sevilla on the 27th of August at Estadio Mallorca Son Moix. Sevilla aren’t enjoying a solid start to their 2024/25 La Liga campaign, as coach Xavier Pimienta’s players didn’t win either one of their two opening league games. Real Mallorca didn’t win a game either, but at least coach Jagoba Arrasate’s players didn’t […]
Posted on: 25 Aug 2024
Rayo Vallecano takes on the difficult Catalan challenge on the 27th of August at Estadio de Vallecas in a can’t-miss La Liga showdown.

Posted on: 25 Aug 2024
Juventus are hoping new boss Thiago Motta can inspire them to the title this season and he faces his first road trip in Serie A tonight with a visit to Hellas Verona.

The Yellow Submarine is taking on the Celta Vigo challenge this Monday in a game that will be held at the mythical El Madrigal, now also known as Estadio de la Ceramica.

Posted on: 24 Aug 2024
Enzo Maresca got his first win as Chelsea boss in midweek but faces a tougher task getting off the mark in the Premier League at Wolverhampton Wanderers today. The 2-0 UEFA Conference League play-off victory over Servette was far from convincing and the Blues were booed off at half-time with the score still level. Lots of fans are still unhappy […]
Posted on: 23 Aug 2024
It’s matchday two in the new Premier League season and the fixtures computer has handed Arsenal an early test of their title credentials away to Aston Villa. Unai Emery’s side defeated both the Gunners and Manchester City at home last term en route to a fourth-placed finish that has handed them a crack at Champions League football. Aston Villa kicked […]
Posted on: 23 Aug 2024
Catalan side Espanyol will take on the difficult Real Sociedad challenge on the 24th of August at the famous Cornella-El Prat, also known as Stage Front Stadium. Espanyol come into this game as the team that’s at the bottom of the pit. However, with the home-field support behind them this Saturday, coach Manolo Gonzalez’s boys will be looking to put […]
Posted on: 23 Aug 2024
The Black and Yellows began their post-Marco Reus era with a 1-4 win over lacklustre Phonix Lubeck a couple of days ago and it seems that coach Nuri Sahin’s boys are eager for more. With a mind-blowing 86.0% possession in the game at Volksparkstadion, Sahin’s players showed their rivals no mercy. Surely, Borussia Dortmund want to have a solid start […]
Posted on: 23 Aug 2024
Hansi Flick’s Barcelona takes on Athletic Bilbao on the 24th of August in what is undoubtedly going to be the most interesting La Liga game this week. The hosts will not only have the home-field advantage on their side, but coach Flick’s boys’ confidence is undoubtedly flying off the charts after that beautiful come-from-behind 1-2 win at Mestalla last week. […]
Posted on: 22 Aug 2024
After a busy few days of European qualifiers it’s back to the domestic action tonight and there’s a cracker in the EFL Championship as Leeds. Yorkshire derbies are always pretty fiery and there’s a lot at stake for Leeds United as they bid to get their promotion push up and running. Daniel Farke’s side were title favourites in the ante-post […]
Posted on: 21 Aug 2024
Chelsea’s season is only one game in but fans are already fearing the worst and the mood will darken even further if they slip up in tonight’s UEFA Conference League play-off with Servette. It has been another chaotic transfer window at Stamford Bridge and new boss Enzo Maresca seems to have been left with a bloated and imbalanced squad. A […]
Posted on: 20 Aug 2024
IT was a great night for the MFT team in the Champions League qualifiers on Tuesday with every recommended bet landing in our match previews and all three Super Singles also coming up trumps for me. Here’s hoping there’s more of the same tonight and Rangers fans will be thinking about what might have been as they watch Dynamo Kiev […]
Posted on: 19 Aug 2024
It’s crunch time in the Champions League qualifiers as the play-offs begin and the pick of tonight’s ties sees Red Star Belgrade head to Bodo/Glimt. The Norwegian champions have never graced the group stage but are hot favourites to see off the Croatians after demolishing Polish side Jagiellonia Białystok in the last round. Red Star Belgrade won’t be pushovers, though. […]
Posted on: 18 Aug 2024
Leicester City bounced back up to the Premier League at the first attempt but have been installed as favourites for the drop ahead of their opener at home to Tottenham Hotspur. The Foxes won the Championship last term, but they have since lost manager Enzo Maresca and star player Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea. Former Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper has […]
Posted on: 17 Aug 2024
Manchester City are favourites to claim a stunning fifth successive Premier League crown and they get their title defence underway today with a trip to Stamford Bridge. While City have been the picture of stability under Pep Guardiola, Chelsea have been the kings of chaos since American Todd Boehly replaced Roman Abramovich in the boardroom. There seems to have been […]
Posted on: 16 Aug 2024
Ipswich Town are back in the big time after a 23-year absence but they have a daunting Premier League opener today as Liverpool come to Portman Road. Back-to-back promotions have seen Kieran McKenna’s side rocket from League One to the top flight and it will be fascinating to see how they cope with the big step up. A lot of […]
Posted on: 15 Aug 2024
The Premier League gets back underway tonight and all eyes will be on Old Trafford to see how Manchester United are shaping up when they take on Fulham.

Posted on: 14 Aug 2024
St Mirren and Kilmarnock both need to produce something special in Norway tonight to keep their hopes alive in UEFA Conference League qualifying. Scottish clubs have rarely made it past this stage in recent years and the bookies are banking on that sorry run continuing tonight. St Mirren were outsiders against in-form Brann before a ball was kicked and they […]
Posted on: 13 Aug 2024
REAL MADRID look like the team to beat in Europe this season and we’ll get an early idea how strong they are when they take on Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup tonight. Carlo Ancelotti’s side were in formidable form last season as they won both La Liga and the Champions League, with city rivals Atletico the only team to […]
Posted on: 12 Aug 2024
IT’S another big night in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers and Rangers know a Hampden win over Dynamo Kiev will take them into the play-offs. I backed the Ukrainians to win the first leg in Poland after they demolished Partizan Belgrade 9-2 on aggregate in the second qualifying round. That bet looked good when they led 1-0 at half-time but […]
Posted on: 11 Aug 2024
AFTER a lean end to last week it was pleasing to land five winners across the weekend, including a 7/1 card bet at Aberdeen on Sunday, so hopefully our luck will continue today. The opening weekend of the EFL Championship threw up some thrilling games and there should be another one tonight as Luton Town face Burnley at Kenilworth Road. […]
Posted on: 10 Aug 2024
CHAMPIONS Celtic got off to a flying start in the SPFL Premiership last weekend and are heavy favourites to rack up another three points on the road at Hibernian today.

Posted on: 09 Aug 2024
ALL eyes will be on Wembley this afternoon for the traditional curtain raiser to the top-flight season as Manchester City take on Manchester United in the Community Shield.

Posted on: 08 Aug 2024
FRANCE were favourites for Olympic gold before a ball was kicked this summer in the men’s tournament and take on Spain tonight in what should be a thrilling final.

Posted on: 07 Aug 2024
KILMARNOCK and St Mirren both take on Norwegian opposition tonight as they bid to take a big stride towards the play-offs in UEFA Conference League qualifying.

Posted on: 06 Aug 2024
UNION SAINT-GILLOISE fell at the first hurdle in their last crack at UEFA Champions League qualifying and will be desperate to avoid a repeat when they take on Slavia Prague this season. When the Belgians faced Rangers two years ago it was their first European tie since the 1960s and things looked good when they beat the Ibrox side 2-0 […]
Posted on: 05 Aug 2024
REACHING the Champions League group stage would give Philippe Clement’s Rangers rebuild a massive boost but they face two tough hurdles in their bid to grab the Euro millions. First up is a third-round qualifier against Dynamo Kiev and the Ukrainians head into the game on a high after thrashing Partizan Belgrade 9-2 in the last round. With a brutal […]
Posted on: 04 Aug 2024
ABERDEEN have made a strong start under new boss Jimmy Thelin but the acid test comes tonight as they kick off the SPFL Premiership campaign in Perth against St Johnstone. The Dons cruised through their League Cup group, winning all four games and scoring 15 goals in the process. But the toughest side they faced was Championship outfit Airdrie and […]
Posted on: 04 Aug 2024
THE fixture computer has thrown up an absolute cracker for the opening weekend of the SPFL Premiership season as Dundee United host city rivals Dundee after unfurling the Championship flag. There hasn’t been a derby for the last two years with these sides passing each other in jumping between divisions and absence certainly hasn’t made the heart grow fonder. Dundee […]
Posted on: 02 Aug 2024
SCOTLAND’S top flight gets back underway today and all eyes are on Tynecastle as Rangers kick off against Heart of Midlothian. It has been a traumatic summer for Gers with a construction balls-up forcing them to relocate their home games to Hampden for the first couple of months. Boss Philippe Clement was also told he had to sell before he […]
Posted on: 01 Aug 2024
THE SPFL season gets back underway tonight and promoted Falkirk will be out to make a splash as they host Queen’s Park in the Championship. John McGlynn’s men went the entire league campaign unbeaten last term as they romped to the League One title and ended a four-year exile from the second tier. That momentum seems to have carried into […]

SCOTTISH clubs have a bad habit for falling at the first hurdle in Euro qualifying but Kilmarnock and St Mirren are still very much in the race as they head into their second legs tonight. The bookies wrote Killie off after they were drawn against Belgian club Cercle Brugge but I thought they had underestimated Derek McInnes’ men and took […]
Posted on: 30 Jul 2024
THE Euro qualifiers keep coming thick and fast, with the clash between Maccabi Tel Aviv and FCSB taking top billing tonight. Champions League qualifying was good for me last night as all three Super Singles landed so hopefully there’s some more value to be found. The tie between Maccabi and the Romanians is one of the few still in the […]
Posted on: 29 Jul 2024
IT’S another big night of Champions League qualifying but the Welsh and Irish sides in action need a miracle. Shamrock Rovers trail Sparta Prague 2-0 heading into the second leg in the Czech Republic while The New Saints have an even bigger mountain to climb as they host Ferencvaros looking to overhaul a 5-0 deficit. Lots of other ties have […]
Posted on: 28 Jul 2024
AFTER a busy weekend of fixtures, it’s slimmer pickings for punters today with a couple of games in Scandinavia taking top billing. Last year’s runners-up Brondby are back in action in Denmark’s top flight and will be desperate for three points against Vejle after being held to a draw in their opener. That clash with Viborg was a thriller as […]
Posted on: 27 Jul 2024
THERE’S one final group game to play in the Scottish League Cup today and it should be a cracker as Motherwell host Partick Thistle. Both teams were heavy favourites to qualify from a group that also included League One side Montrose plus Clyde and Edinburgh City from the bottom tier. But the Jags have left themselves with a mountain to […]
Posted on: 26 Jul 2024
THE group stage of the Scottish League Cup comes to an end this weekend and all eyes will be on Easter Road today to see how Hibernian react to last week’s shock defeat at Kelty. It looked like David Gray was getting off to a good start as permanent boss when he led the Hibees to 5-0 and 5-1 victories […]
Posted on: 25 Jul 2024
THE Belgian title race was a thriller last term with Club Brugge pipping Union St-Gilloise by a point in the Champions’ play-offs – despite finishing 19 points behind them in the regular season. They ended the campaign by losing just once in 14 games in all competitions and that defeat came in the semi-final of the Europa Conference League as […]
Posted on: 24 Jul 2024
SCOTTISH clubs enter Euro qualifying tonight and the bookies reckon both Kilmarnock and St Mirren face a difficult night. Killie are trying to reach the Europa League groups but the odds are stacked against them and they kick-0ff with a tough tie against Cercle Brugge. To stand any chance you suspect they will need to win tonight’s first leg at […]
Posted on: 23 Jul 2024
THE Olympic football gets underway today and the big boys will be looking to lay down a marker in their opening group games. It has been a brilliant summer so far for Spain with Luis de la Fuente’s vibrant young side blowing away everyone to lift the trophy at Euro 2024. But that success may effect their Olympic chances, given […]
Posted on: 22 Jul 2024
IT’S another busy night of action in the Scottish League Cup and Aberdeen’s clash with Airdrieonians at Pittodrie has the potential to be a cracker. New Dons boss Jimmy Thelin has made a decent start with comfortable wins on the road at Queen of the South and East Kilbride. Now he leads the side out for his first competitive game […]
Posted on: 21 Jul 2024
SCANDINAVIA has been a happy hunting ground of late, with five of the last six Super Singles landing, and the pick of today’s action sees dethroned Danish kings FC Copenhagen kick off the new campaign at Lyngby. After winning the title in 2022 and 2023, the capital club could only finish third last term behind Brondby and champions Midtjylland. But […]
Posted on: 21 Jul 2024
THERE’S plenty of football across the globe for punters today but I’m sticking to Scandinavia after all three Super Singles landed in Friday’s games. It’s the opening weekend of the league season in Denmark and it will be interesting to see how Brondby respond at Viborg today after last term’s title heartache. A disastrous 3-2 loss at home to Aarhus […]
Posted on: 19 Jul 2024
THE group stage of the Scottish Cup League Cup always throws up a few surprises as the big boys get up to speed in what are essentially pre-season warm-ups. We saw a few shock results last weekend and in midweek as the likes of Dundee United and Motherwell failed to beat lower-league opposition on the road. But most of the […]
Posted on: 18 Jul 2024
SCANDINAVIAN football takes centre stage again today and Swedish leaders Malmo will be looking to bounce back from a rare defeat when they visit Sirius. The champions crashed to a 2-1 loss last weekend at Mjallby and that has left them just four points ahead of Djurgardens. having played a game more. That loss ended a seven-game unbeaten run so […]
Posted on: 17 Jul 2024
IT’S another busy night of Europa League and Conference League qualifiers with most of the ties for British and Irish sides still in the balance. Derry City are flying high in the League of Ireland but their Euro hopes are hanging by a thread after losing 2-0 the Magpies in Gibraltar last week, That came off the back of a […]
Posted on: 16 Jul 2024
EUROPEAN club qualifiers take centre stage for punters today and the clash between Crusaders and Caernarfon Town is the pick of the ties. Welsh club Caernarfon had a memorable European debut last week as they claimed a 2-0 victory in the first leg at The Oval after the bookies had written them off. They now have a great chance to […]
Posted on: 15 Jul 2024
THE group stage of the Scottish League Cup threw up a few shocks at the weekend and we could see some more tonight in the next round of games. Two of the games we flagged up as potential shocks on Saturday delivered, with second-tier Falkirk beating Premiership side Dundee United and League Two East Fife battering Championship outfit Morton. With […]
Posted on: 15 Jul 2024
AFTER the drama of the Euro 2024 and Copa America finals, it’s a much quieter day for punters today with the pick of the action coming in the Swedish and Finnish leagues. Fallen Swedish giants IFK Gothenburg find themselves sitting just a point above the drop zone and face a tricky game on the road at sixth-placed Hammarby. The home […]
Posted on: 14 Jul 2024
ENGLAND have battled their way through to a second successive European Championships final but the bookies reckon slick Spain will get their hands on the trophy. Gareth Southgate’s men were tournament favourites before a ball was kicked but they haven’t been playing like champions and lady luck has been smiling on them. The performance against the Netherlands in the semi-final […]
Posted on: 13 Jul 2024
THE Scottish football season gets back underway today and the League Cup group stage usually throws up a few shocks with some of the big boys going in undercooked. The pick of the games today sees Falkirk host Dundee United and it’s a match that pitches last season’s League One Invincibles against the team that won the Championship. In addition […]
Posted on: 12 Jul 2024
ROSENBORG used to be the dominant force in Norwegian football but it’s six years since they last won the title and they head into tonight’s clash with Sarpsborg sitting nearer the drop zone than the top. They’re up against second-bottom Sarpsborg on the road but only four points separate the sides in a congested bottom half of the table. A […]
Posted on: 11 Jul 2024
IT’S a busy day of European club qualifiers and one of the ties pits Wales against Northern Ireland in the Conference League. Caernarfon Town welcome Crusaders to the Oval and it’s an historic night for the Welsh club as they are playing European football for the first time. Crusaders have far more experience, having racked up 54 appearances in Euro […]
Posted on: 10 Jul 2024
ENGLAND are just one more win away from the final of Euro 2024 but even the most blinkered of fans will admit Gareth Southgate’s side have reached the semi-finals more by luck than design. They’ve needed late goals to force extra-time in both their knockout ties and the Three Lions only got past Switzerland in the last eight thanks to […]
Posted on: 09 Jul 2024
WE’RE down to the last four at Euro 2024 and tonight’s semi-final between Spain and France has pitted total football against total boredom. I had a punt on the French to win the tournament at 4/1 before a ball was kicked but I’m amazed my bet is still alive given how poor Les Bleus have been. They’re scored just three […]
Posted on: 08 Jul 2024
FOR the second day in a row it’s Scandinavian football taking centre stage, with Djurgardens’ trip to Norrkoping the pick of the games. Djurgardens have done well to keep in touch with Malmo at the top but the leaders are now 10 points clear at the top after yesterday’s 5-1 win at home to Halmstads brought up two bets for […]
Posted on: 07 Jul 2024
IT’S time to take breath at Euro 2024 with a lull before the semi-finals but there’s plenty of club football for punters to get stuck into today with most of the action in Scandinavia. The Swedish title race is in danger of turning into procession with Malmo already seven points clear of Djurgardens at the top. The leaders have played […]
Posted on: 06 Jul 2024
ENGLAND have found a way to reach the Euro 2024 quarter-finals without playing well but they’ll need to up their game tonight to see off an impressive Switzerland side. While Gareth Southgate’s men needed a last-gasp Jude Bellingham overhead kick to force extra-time against Slovakia in the last 16, the Swiss pretty much strolled to a 2-0 win over champions […]
Posted on: 05 Jul 2024
MOST of the big boys are still standing as the quarter-finals get underway at Euro 2024 and that has led to some mouth-watering clashes. The two games being held today are worthy of semi-finals and hosts Germany are up first as they battle Spain. Julian Nagelsmann’s side impressed once more in the last 16 against Denmark, although they needed a […]
Posted on: 04 Jul 2024
IT’S all about the League of Ireland today unless you’re a night owl willing to stay up until 2am for the first Copa America quarter-final. The chase for glory in Ireland has turned into a two-horse race with Shelbourne and Derry City surging clear of the rest. Just two points separate the top two but third-placed Waterford are a further […]
Posted on: 03 Jul 2024
THERE’S no Euro 2024 or Copa America games for punters to sink their teeth into today but there’s still an international feel with club games taking place all across the globe. The action kicks off at 11am in the J-League where Sagan Tosu are fighting for survival after a horror run of five defeats in their last six games. That […]
Posted on: 02 Jul 2024
FEW sides impressed me more than Austria in the Euro 2024 group stage and Ralf Rangnick’s men should have too much class for Turkey in the last 16 if they hit the same form. You would have got great odds on the Austrians topping Group D before a ball was kicked, given they were pitched into the same section as […]
Posted on: 01 Jul 2024
FRANCE have yet to hit their stride at Euro 2024 but will need to click into top gear when they face a dangerous Belgian side in the last 16 tonight The French will be kicking themselves for finishing second in Group D behind Austria as it has left them in the tougher half of the draw. They only have themselves […]
Posted on: 29 Jun 2024
GARETH SOUTHGATE had cups of beer launched at him after England’s last outing at Euro 2024 but he’ll be hoping fans are raising a glass to him in celebration after tonight’s last-16 clash with Slovenia. The Three Lions managed to top Group C but the manner in which they did it left plenty of punters unimpressed and some vented their […]
Posted on: 28 Jun 2024
THE knockout stages get underway at Euro 2024 today and hosts Germany will be looking to keep the party going by knocking out Denmark. After crushing Scotland 5-1 in their opener, the Germans have failed to hit the same heights and needed a late goal to salvage a 1-1 draw with the Swiss in their final game. But roared on […]
Posted on: 27 Jun 2024
COSTA RICA have provided the only Copa America shock so far by holding Brazil to a draw and will now bid to spring another surprise against Colombia. The Central Americans shut out Uruguay in their final warm-up game and repeated the trick in the Group D opener to frustrate a star-studded Brazilian attack. But they will need another disciplined defensive […]
Posted on: 26 Jun 2024
FOOTBALL fans will be having Euro 2024 withdrawal symptoms today but thankfully there’s a couple of Copa America games to fill the international void. Hosts America went into the tournament off the back of some worrying friendly results but Gregg Berhalter’s men delivered in their opener by easing to a 2-0 victory over Bolivia. They now face a Panama side […]
Posted on: 25 Jun 2024
THE group stage comes to an end at Euro 2024 tonight and there should be plenty of thrills with seven of the eight sides in action still in with a shout of reaching the last 16. Most of the drama should come in Group E where Belgium, Romania, Ukraine and Slovakia all head into the final clash sitting on three […]
Posted on: 24 Jun 2024
ENGLAND sit top of Group C heading into the final game against Slovenia tonight but fans are far from happy after two underwhelming displays from Gareth Southgate’s men.

Posted on: 23 Jun 2024
ALBANIA were written off as no-hopers when the Euro 2024 draw was made and they ended up in the same group as Spain, Croatia and Italy. But they head into their final game with the Spaniards still in with a chance of reaching the last 16 thanks to a dramatic stoppage-time winner in their 2-2 draw with the Croats. A […]
Posted on: 22 Jun 2024
SCOTLAND have a date with destiny at Euro 2024 today as they bid to beat Hungary and make history by reaching the knockout stages of a major tournament for the first time.

Posted on: 21 Jun 2024
BELGIUM were the only big gun to lose in the first round of Euro 2024 fixtures so they desperately need to get back on track when they face Romania in Group E today. But they are up against a Romanian team on a massive high after a stunning 3-0 win over Ukraine in their opener so it’s a match fraught […]
Posted on: 20 Jun 2024
FRANCE’S clash was the Netherlands was always going to be a must-watch at Euro 2024 but there’s even more interest now as we wait to see if the masked avenger will play a part. It looked like Kylian Mbappe’s tournament was at risk after he broke his nose in the win over Austria but he’s set to play on with […]
Posted on: 19 Jun 2024
ENGLAND took the points but not the plaudits in their Euro 2024 opener and fans will be hoping for a more convincing display when the Three Lions face Denmark this evening. Jude Bellingham brought up one of Sunday’s Super Singles when he bulleted home an early header against Serbia but that was as good as it got for the English […]
Posted on: 18 Jun 2024
SCOTLAND have been left stewing since their mauling in Munich but now have the chance to make amends as they face Switzerland in their second Group A game. The Tartan Army were in party mode ahead of the tournament opener against the hosts but the atmosphere soon fell flat as the Germans raced into a 3-0 lead by half-time. The […]
Posted on: 17 Jun 2024
THE first round of group games at Euro 2024 comes to an end tonight and Portugal’s superstars will be looking to lay down a marker against the Czech Republic.

Posted on: 16 Jun 2024
MOST of the big guns have come out firing at Euro 2024 and France will want to do the same when they kick off against Austria tonight.

Posted on: 15 Jun 2024
ENGLAND get their Euro 2024 campaign underway tonight and Gareth Southgate will be looking to silence some of the doubters with a win and a good performance against Serbia.

Posted on: 14 Jun 2024
IT’S the first full day of fixtures at Euro 2024 and the pick of the three games comes in the middle as Spain take on Croatia in a Group B cracker.

Posted on: 13 Jun 2024
THE long wait is finally over and Euro 2024 gets underway tonight as Scotland bid to pull off one of the tournament’s greatest shocks against hosts Germany in Munich.

Posted on: 12 Jun 2024
THERE’S a brief lull in the international football today before Euro 2024 gets underway but punters have some Irish top-flight football to tide them over. It’s tight at the top with just two points separating Shelbourne and Derry City, although the leaders do have a game in hand. Both are on the road tonight and Shelbourne have the tougher assignment […]
Posted on: 11 Jun 2024
THE USA are preparing to host the Copa America but pressure is building on boss Gregg Berhalter and he needs a positive performance when his side face big guns Brazil late tonight. The Americans crashed to an embarrassing 5-1 loss against Colombia in their last friendly and they’ve only won once in their last five outings. So the last thing […]
Posted on: 10 Jun 2024
PORTUGAL crashed to defeat against Croatia in their second warm-up game for Euro 2024 so they will be desperate to bounce back against the Republic of Ireland tonight in their final run-out before heading to Germany. Roberto Martinez’s side breezed through qualifying by winning every game but had an easy group and faced a step up in class against the […]
Posted on: 09 Jun 2024
ICELAND bust plenty of coupons by stunning England at Wembley last week and will be out to disrupt another big gun’s Euro 2024 preparations when they take on the Netherlands tonight in Rotterdam. Two of my Super Singles landed on Friday but Iceland stopped it from being a clean sweep as they stunned Gareth Southgate’s men with a 1-0 victory. […]
Posted on: 08 Jun 2024
FRANCE remain second favourites for Euro 2024, although the bookies might be revising those odds after England’s pitiful display against Iceland at Wembley on Friday night. I’ve backed Les Bleus to win the tournament at 4/1 so I’ll be tuning in tonight for their final friendly against Canada tonight to see what kind of shape they’re in. It took the […]
Posted on: 07 Jun 2024
IT”s another busy day of international friendlies as some of Europe’s big guns play their final friendly before Euro 2024. Spain are dark horses for glory in Germany this summer and will be out to grab a few goals when they take on Northern Ireland in Mallorca. The Irish claimed one of the biggest victories in their history when they […]
Posted on: 06 Jun 2024
ENGLAND bring the curtain down on their Euro 2024 preparations with a Wembley friendly against Iceland tonight and will be looking for a convincing performance as much as another victory. The Three Lions beat Bosnia 3-0 at St James’ Park on Monday but that scoreline flattered them and only a handful of fringe players boosted their chances of featuring at […]
Posted on: 06 Jun 2024
THE internationals keep on coming today but we finally have lots of competitive games to bet on in the Asian and African World Cup qualifiers after so many friendlies. Backing winners can be tricky when teams have nothing to play for – although yesterday was a profitable one for me as all three super singles landed in friendly wins for […]
Posted on: 04 Jun 2024
FRANCE are one of the favourites for Euro 2024 and Les Bleus will be out to show why so many people fancy them when they take on Luxembourg in a friendly. Most firms have Didier Deschamps’ men just behind England in the betting which seems a little bit off given the French have won two World Cups and two European […]
Posted on: 03 Jun 2024
IT”S another busy night of international friendlies and Scotland fans will have one eye on Dublin as Euro 2024 rivals Hungary take on the Republic of Ireland.

Posted on: 03 Jun 2024
EURO 2024 is looming large with the big kick-off less than two weeks away and England will be looking to boost morale with a friendly win over Bosnia at St James’ Park tonight.

Posted on: 01 Jun 2024
THERE will be a party atmosphere in Bergamo today as Europa League winners Atalanta bring the curtain down on a memorable season with their final Serie A fixture.

Posted on: 31 May 2024
ALL eyes are on Wembley tonight as Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund slug it out in the Champions League Final.

Posted on: 30 May 2024
IT has been a desperately disappointing domestic campaign for FC Copenhagen and they find themselves in a play-off tonight just to reach the Europa Conference League.

But they best they […]

Posted on: 28 May 2024
OLYMPIACOS have never won a European trophy so there will be the mother of all parties if they defeat Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League Final tonight.

Posted on: 27 May 2024
SCANDINAVIA was a happy hunting ground yesterday with all three Super Singles landing so I’m going to kick off Tuesday’s tips in Sweden as leaders Malmo host Elfsborg.

Posted on: 26 May 2024
WITH the major European leagues shutting down for the summer, the focus switches to Scandinavia and there’s a couple of games in Sweden for punters to sink their teeth into today.

GIRONA have been the La Liga surprise package this season and head into their final game tonight against relegated Granada with a Champions League slot in the bag.

Posted on: 22 May 2024
THE SPFL Premiership play-off final gets underway tonight with Ross County heading to Kirkcaldy for another nerve-shredding 90 minutes against Raith Rovers.

And Thistle […]
