FESTIVE cheer was in short supply at Aberdeen across Christmas and New Year as Jim Goodwin’s men slumped from one bad result to another. The Dons have taken just one point from their last five league games so under-pressure boss Goodwin desperately needs to deliver a victory at home to St Johnstone today. The Red Army are growing restless but […]

Crisis club Everton have been leaking goals so Manchester United could get plenty of joy in this FA Cup tie

Premier League games continue to come thick and fast for punters and there are some tasty fixtures on tonight’s card. The most intriguing one is at Elland Road as Leeds host West Ham with both sides fighting against the drop. Few people expected David Moyes’ side to struggle this term but a horror run of five successive league defeats has […]

Sparks usually fly when Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers collide so go for fouls and cards in this Premier League Midlands derby

Liverpool have been looking vulnerable in defence so goals look on the cards when they face a dangerous Brentford side in the Premier League
Posted on: 31 Dec 2022
IT’S slim pickings for punters in the SPFL this weekend with most of the action saved until Monday. But we still have some decent games in League One and Two today as 2022 draws to a close. Alloa let me down last weekend when I tipped them to beat Clyde as they could only draw 2-2. That made it three […]

You would have got pretty long odds on Arsenal topping the Premier League pile at the end of 2022 but that’s guaranteed to happen even if they lose on the road at Brighton. Nobody had the Gunners as title contenders after a late wobble last season saw them miss out on the Champions League places. But Mikel Arteta recruited wisely […]

VAR presides over an Edinburgh derby for the first time so betting on cards and a penalty could pay off when Heart of Midlothian and Hibernian collided at Tynecastle in the SPFL Premiership

Manchester City have been scoring freely in the festive fixtures so struggling Everton may have to revert to foul means in a bid to stop them in this Premier League mismatch
Posted on: 28 Dec 2022
IT’S another big midweek for Celtic and Rangers, with both sides looking to avoid a slip-up ahead of the New Year derby at Ibrox. The Hoops have the tougher fixture away to Hibs, with Celtic winning just once in their last nine visits to Easter Road on league duty. I’m going for corners in this one, with both meetings in […]

Kilmarnock and Aberdeen both desperately need a win in the SPFL Premiership so expect plenty of cards in a tight contest at Rugby Park
Posted on: 26 Dec 2022
We saw 12 corners in both clashes between Hibernian and Celtic at Easter Road so backing plenty more in this SPFL Premiership clash looks the best option for punters
Posted on: 24 Dec 2022
IT will be interesting to see how Aberdeen react today after two crushing Pittodrie defeats against the Old Firm in the last week. While the Dons deserved nothing from an ultra-defensive display against Celtic, they were well worth their 2-1 lead over Rangers heading into stoppage time. But Scott Arfield’s incredible late double left them devastated and Jim Goodwin will […]

MICHAEL BEALE’S Rangers reign has got off to an exciting start and the stats suggest more thrills in Dingwall tonight. After coming from behind to seal 3-2 wins over Hibs and Aberdeen, the new Ibrox boss faces another test on the road at Ross County. It ended in a 3-3 draw when Gers last came calling and the last seven […]

Goals have been pretty scarce in clashes between Brentford and Tottenham Hotspur so it could pay to bet on a cagey game as they return to Premier League action

Clashes between Aston Vill and Liverpool have delivered plenty of thrills in recent seasons so this Premier League encounter promises goals on Boxing Day

Michael Beale has delivered plenty of thrills so far as Rangers boss and the stats suggest another goalfest in this SPFL Premiership clash with Ross County
Posted on: 20 Dec 2022
JIM GOODWIN has taken pelters for parking the Pittodrie bus so it will be interesting to see how he approaches tonight’s visit of Rangers. The bookies had BTTS at short odds when Celtic came calling at the weekend, based mainly on how free-scoring the Dons had been at home. But Goodwin set up so defensively his side failed to dirty […]

Free-scoring Burnley head to Old Trafford in fine form so there could be goals at both ends as they bid to spring a shock against Manchester United in the Carabao Cup
Posted on: 17 Dec 2022
CELTIC fans headed into the World Cup break with a smile on their faces after watching the Hoops open up a nine-point gap at the top of the Premiership. Ange Postecoglou could hardly have asked for a better start to their title defence with his side racking up 14 wins from 15 games. The only blip so far has been […]

LIONEL Messi’s World Cup dream goes on the line again tonight as Argentina take on a Croatia side who have already shocked favourites Brazil. Just hours after the Croats had dumped Neymar and Co on penalties, the Argentines edged out Holland in another shoot-out after blowing a 2-0 lead. Messi was the main man once more, providing a goal and […]

Rangers will get a lift from Michael Beale’s appointment as manager so they look good value in both the match and corner handicap when struggling Hibernian come calling for the SPFL Premiership restart

Morocco have been FIFA World Cup shock troops but France should have too much firepower for a defence that has been decimated by injuries ahead of this semi-final
