DROP down from the rain-sodden East Pennines through Diggle, Delph and Dobcross and you’ll come across the small town of Mossley. Keep heading south-west for another 4 miles and you’ll hit Ashton-under-Lyne .. home of The Nash and site of departing coaches for the main event for every Red Rose-blooded local. CURZON ASHTON vs MOSSLEY (7.45pm) It’s Cup Final day […]

SUNDAY sees a pretty impressive looking card but it has been said on the site so many times before, less is often more and, yes, a bigger card means more opportunities but it also offers up more traps to avoid! Hopefully, I can avoid the bogeys and home in on a few birdies with selections from the EPL and South […]

GREAT stuff in Peru with Binacional running out 5-0 winners but there’s trouble brewing closer to home. Bury vs Colchester I’ve not the time to get fully into the politics now but there’s a cloud hanging over Gigg that is much more complex than the usual cold cover that blows down off the Pennines. This isn’t just a blot on […]

TWO matches that interest me this evening – one international featuring the Three Lions and the other hailing from Peru’s Primera Division. Montenegro v England (7.45pm) There seems to be a train of thought Montenegro are a bit of a joke side and some small province cast away in relative seclusion but, while the footballing standard may be questionable, don’t […]

IT’S a great looking UK card and I’ve carved out three games where I reckon the home side stand a fantastic chance of scoring at least a brace of goals… CHORLEY VS. LEAMINGTON NLN table-toppers Chorley have hit a minimum of 2 goals in 8 of their last 9 home matches and ought to nail this one against an ailing […]

THREE games I like the look of today and will list a brief run-down rather than a detailed write-up as time is really limited for me at the moment – folk can make their minds up from there but all are confident picks. OLIMPIA v DEPORTIVO SANTANÍ (11.15pm): Love the look of this one and although there are no guarantees in […]

IT’S been a great weekend and I’m setting my sights on this one from the Paraguayan top flight to extend that run of form! CERRO PORTEÑO v SOL DE AMÉRICA (10.15pm) Cerro looked great in the early stages of the Apertura and they’ve gone on to justify my early optimism with a crackling start to campaign which sees them sitting […]

ALL roads lead to Chile this evening and it’s destination Santiago – The Estadio Santa Laura-Universidad SEK to be precise – where I fancy hosts Espanola to grab a couple of goals at a tasty looking price. UNIÓN ESPAÑOLA VS. HUACHIPATO (11.00pm) Both sides have had a decent start but after 4 games, it’s Espanola who look the more solid […]

ICELANDIC League Cup action for me this evening and with plenty to play for, I reckon this one looks a gem of an early price and would expect it to go off at evens or less VALUR VS. AFTURELDING (6.00pm): Initial thoughts are always going to be centred around a very strong Valur outfit and I’ve been a massive fan myself […]

THIS evening’s card has got the lot; European, South American, Nordic and plenty of upper and lower domestic league action to boot! I’ve looked at pretty much everything but have settled on a humble cup tie much closer to home for the main selection and will roll up a combination of the above for a crack at a team goals […]

GOALS may well be the route to success for this evening’s picks and I’m taking on two Icelandic Cup games featuring 1 Deild sides playing host to top-flight opposition. HAUKAR v BREIDABLIK (6pm) Haukar’s 2019 cup exploits have been pretty rank thus far and, with 3 consecutive losses, I can’t see them having too much luck against tonight’s visitors! Breidablik […]

It’s not the brightest of cards but there could just be a glimmer of (Northern) light for those roaming further afield in their quest for goals… HVÍTI RIDDARINN VS. ÁLAFOSS (8.00pm) I’m heading for the land of fire and ice and taking on a game hailing from the League Cup ‘C’ Group 4 featuring two teams who just love a […]

BRIEF post here gents and apologies for the lack of substantive reasoning – really pushed for time! Cheltenham v Bury A strange Tuesday night fixture for us which has been moved forwards to make way for the Cheltenham Festival next week – in all honesty, we could do without having had a busy few weeks including our rare cup run […]

SUNDAY’S approach to targetting goals proved a good choice with a combined total of 11 goals across the two Icelandic picks and it’s a theme I’m sticking with for Monday with my sights set on 3 matches… CARSHALTON ATHLETIC VS. HARLOW TOWN (7.45pm) I’ve backed Carshalton on a couple of occasions this season and they haven’t let me down – […]

HullShaker goes to Iceland and South America in search of goals
Posted on: 02 Mar 2019
IT’S a Saturday card that is literally jam-packed with action and although the UK card offers a veritable feast of sweet selections, I’m heading to Chile for something a little more savoury and may have spotted a potentially tasty bit of value! UNIVERSIDAD DE CHILE VS. HUACHIPATO (11.00pm) Let’s start with a little bit of a history lesson and whilst […]

AFTER a shocker of a week, I’m hoping the weekend’s fixtures will mark a turning point and have picked out selections from South America, Iceland and a goals acca from closer to home! BLOOMING VS. REAL POTOSÍ (11.30pm) Every chance that the hosts will be looking to gain the advantage from their own recent home form and their opponents woeful […]

ALL paths lead to Paraguay for my main Friday selections and I reckon the hosts will be too hot to handle for the visitors. CERRO PORTEÑO v NACIONAL (11.45pm) Cerro continue their great vein of form and have carried on where they left off in the Clausara with a superb start which sees them 2nd top in the Division Profesional […]

BRIEF write-up but the Bolivian goal-radar is pinging loud and clear with this evening’s game in La Paz… THE STRONGEST VS. CLUB DESTROYERS (10.30pm) There’s every chance that Destroyers may be on the receiving end of a Strongest backlash after the hosts Libertadores exit courtesy of Paraguayan side Libertad. It’s a fixture with a cracking history of goals and H2H […]
