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
Posted on: 10 Dec 2022
ENGLAND have been building up an impressive head of steam at Qatar 2022 but they will need to topple the defending champions and the best player in the world to keep their dream alive today. Gareth Southgate’s record at major finals is hugely impressive and victory over France would take the Three Lions into a third successive semi-final. However, the […]

It promises to be tight as Argentina lock horns with the Netherlands in the FIFA World Cup quarter-final so cards and fouls look the best options for punters

It promises to be tight when Portugal and Switzerland face off in the World Cup last 16, with foul bets looking the best option for punters
Posted on: 03 Dec 2022
ENGLAND’S form heading into Qatar 2022 did little to suggest they were contenders but Three Lions fans are now dreaming of glory again. Gareth Southgate’s men ended their six-game run without a win by battering Iran 6-2 in their World Cup opener and have since kept successive clean sheets in a draw with the USA and a 3-0 victory over […]

The World Cup group stage finishes today and a grudge match between Ghana and Uruguay takes centre stage. The Black Stars are out for revenge after a Luis Suarez handball on the line robbed them of a historic semi-final spot back in 2010. A draw will be enough for Ghana if South Korea fail to beat Portugal while Uruguay need […]

Australia have defended like lions at this FIFA World Cup so Argentina will need to be patient in this last 16 clash and rely on Lionel Messi to carve them open

Switzerland haven’t offered much in the way of excitement at this FIFA World Cup so expect another tight game as they face off with Serbia for a place in the last 16
Posted on: 30 Nov 2022
ARGENTINA have the chance to complete their Group C salvage mission today, with a victory over Poland enough to book their spot in the last 16. McBookie make them 45/80 hot favourites with the Poles as big as 6/1 and the draw paying 31/10. A point is enough to guarantee Poland’s slot in the knockout stages so I’m expecting them […]

Japan need to go for it against Spain in their final FIFA World Cup group game so it bodes well for goals and corners
Posted on: 29 Nov 2022
What a day it promises to be at the World Cup with two politically charged matches bringing Group B to a climax. Wales v England is always a fiery fixture but extra spice has been added with a place in the knockout stages up for grabs. The Dragons need a four-goal win to guarantee a last-16 slot so I’m expecting […]

Mexico have yet to score at the World Cup but the handbrake will be off for their must-win game with Saudi Arabia and we should see goals at both ends
Posted on: 28 Nov 2022
BRAZIL look worthy World Cup favourites but will have to break down a stuffy Swiss side today without talisman Neymar. Having tipped the in-form PSG star for top scorer I was gutted when he went down injured during the 2-0 opening win over Serbia. But Brazil won the 2019 Copa America with him sitting on the sidelines as Richarlison made […]

Wales are fighting for their World Cup lives so backing cards for the Dragons looks a good option in their do-or-die clash with England at Qatar 2022
Posted on: 27 Nov 2022
Free-scoring Spain will be confident of flooring Germany with a KO blow in tomorrow’s Group E clash of the titans. The Germans crashed out in the group stage at Russia 2018 and now face another early exit after a shock 2-1 defeat to Japan in their opener. The contrast with Spain couldn’t be starker after Luis Enrique’s men started their […]

THE World Cup has treated us to plenty of shocks so far and Scottish minnows will be hoping that’s an omen ahead of some David v Goliath clashes in the Cup. The main attraction for the romantics comes at Balmoral Stadium as Cove host minnows Dunipace. The East of Scotland side are facing a huge step up in class having […]

QATAR 2022 was supposed to be Lionel Messi’s Last Dance but he’s in danger of becoming a World Cup wallflower as Argentina flirt with an embarrassing early exit. Saudi Arabia brought Messi and Co back down to earth with a bump in the Group C opener as they came from behind to end a 36-game unbeaten run from Lionel Scaloni’s […]

Canada should go on the attack once more when they face Croatia at the World Cup so back the Maple Leafs for shots at goal

BRAZIL will be out to justify their status as World Cup favourites when they get their Group G campaign underway against Serbia today. Having watched bitter rivals Argentina come a cropper against the Saudis, Tite’s side will know they can’t take their eye off the ball. Neymar will be their main man and the PSG star looks good value for […]
