MAY 15: ST JOHNSTONE v CELTIC PREVIEW

Posted on: 14 May 2015

PLENTY of people backed against Celtic last weekend simply because they’d wrapped up the Premiership title. But their games against Aberdeen are never meaningless so it was no surprise he champions played like their lives depended on it – especially matchwinning skipper Scott Brown. Celtic have two league matches remaining and Ronny Deila has stated he’ll rest some of his […]

GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S TIPS

Posted on: 13 May 2015

THE European Tour moves to Spain this week for the Open de Espana at the Real Club de Golf El Prat, half an hour to the north of Barcelona and the Greg Norman-designed course is one of Sergio Garcia’s favourites courses in the world. I tipped Emiliano Grillo for the Volvo China Open and finished a credible tied third after […]

MAY 13: REAL MADRID v JUVENTUS PREVIEW

Posted on: 12 May 2015

AS expected Barcelona cruised into the Champions League Final last night – so will be treated to an all-Spanish final for the second year running. Last season Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid and they’re hoping to complete an El Clasico line-up in Berlin by overturning a 2-1 deficit to Juventus. Juve did well to win in Turin but 2-1 is […]

MAY 12: BAYERN MUNICH v BARCELONA PREVIEW

Posted on: 11 May 2015

BAYERN MUNICH are a biggest 20-1 with bet365 to complete a miraculous Champions League recovery on Tuesday and the price looks about right. Barcelona lead 3-0 from last week’s first leg and are no bigger than 1-41 with 888sport to reach the Final. At that price only weighed-in MPs who have lost their seats will be able to afford to […]

MAY 10: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE/GOALS TIPS

Posted on: 09 May 2015

I WAS looking at putting up a minus one treble but prices on the sides I fancied were so short I’m taking their games to go over 2.5 goals instead. The teams in question are Porto and Wolfsburg at home to Gil Vicente and away to Paderborn respectively. Porto have covered the -1 handicap in their last three home meetings […]

MAY 9: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE/GOALS TIPS

Posted on: 09 May 2015

I’M starting with a lunchtime Premier League clash that should provide goals from both teams. Everton have been in good nick with six successive wins and that’s bad news for Sunderland who need the points with tough away games at Arsenal and Chelsea to follow. I reckon Everton will win and if they score first Sunderland will have to come […]

MAY 8-10: SPFL STATS AND SPECIALS

Posted on: 08 May 2015

IT’S the start of the Premiership play-offs on Saturday and McBookie are offering 8-15 one of the Championship clubs will win the final against a top-flight side – probably Motherwell but maybe Kilmarnock. The firm make the Premiership club the 11-8 favourite once the four teams are broken down. It means Hibs and Rangers are both 9-4 with Queen of […]

MAY 8: MOTHERWELL v KILLIE PREVIEW

Posted on: 08 May 2015

IT’S last-chance saloon for Motherwell tonight as they try to escape the relegation play-off place. They must beat Kilmarnock to close the gap to three points or start planning for nervy a showdown against QoS, Rangers or Hibs. Well could have the perfect visitors with Gary Locke’s men losing six in a row and the home win pays 13-10 at […]

GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S SAWGRASS TIPS

Posted on: 06 May 2015

IT’S back to stroke play this week thankfully with the Tournament Players Championship at Sawgrass. With 49 of the world’s top 50 taking part and 56 of the top 60 and quite a few players in top form (McIlroy, Spieth, Rose, etc) this looks like it could be a great tournament. With three top-fives from his last four stroke-play starts […]

MAY 6: BARCELONA v BAYERN PREVIEW

Posted on: 05 May 2015

PEP GUARDIOLA returns to Barcelona tonight and for once he could leave the Nou Camp a broken man. Bayern Munich’s coach is sure to be given a hero’s reception but the team he left behind have been growing in stature and take a giant leap to the Final. Guardiola knows more about Lionel Messi than most but it could be […]

MAY 5: JUVE v REAL MADRID PREVIEW

Posted on: 04 May 2015

WE could be set for another all-Spanish Champions League Final (7-5, William Hill) with Real Madrid and Barcelona favourites to negotiate tricky last-four ties. First up tonight Real visit newly-crowned Italian champions Juventus and tomorrow Pep Guardiola faces his former side as Barcelona tackle Bayern Munich in what should be a cracker. Real are a best 4-9 at Betfred to […]

MAY 3: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE/GOALS TIPS

Posted on: 03 May 2015

STATS wise the game that should produce goals today is Spurs v Man City with 35 netted in the last seven meetings between the teams. City have actually won the last three 4-1, 5-1 and 6-0 with Sergio Aguero netting seven times in those clashes so he will be backed at 1-1 with bet365 and Ladbrokes to net again. However, […]

MAY 2: ENGLISH FOOTBALL PREVIEW

Posted on: 02 May 2015

NIGEL PEARSON is feeling the pressure – why else would he brand a reporter an “ostrich”. But while the Leicester boss reckoned the hack had his head in the sand it’s rival boss John Carver who has been burying his head in his hands. A run of seven defeats in a row has dragged down Newcastle and another at Leicester […]

MAY 2: SCOTTISH FOOTBALL PREVIEW

Posted on: 02 May 2015

WE finally get the excitement we craved in the Scottish Championship as Hibs try to pip Rangers to second spot and avoid an extra two matches which cold be crucial. Rangers are the visitors to runaway champions Hearts while Hibs travel to Falkirk in a repeat of the Scottish Cup semi-final they lost a few weeks ago followed by a […]

MAY 2: CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM NEWS

Posted on: 02 May 2015

IT’S the final day of the Championships season and there are still some issues to be settled. Watford will clinch the title if they beat Sheffield Wednesday at home but could still be pipped by Bournemouth. Middlesbrough and Norwich have clinched play-off places but Ipswich and Derby still have work to do with Brentford and Wolves hoping to take advantage […]

MAY 1: CELTIC v DUNDEE BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 30 Apr 2015

DUNDEE UTD could clinch the title for Celtic on Saturday if the Bhoys dump Dundee on Friday. Odds on the double – a Celtic win and Aberdeen not to win at Tannadice – pays 13-10 at bet365. The first part should come up without any hassle and it would be the biggest irony of the season if the Tangerines handed […]

MAY 1-2: SPFL STATS PACK

Posted on: 30 Apr 2015

IT’S a big weekend in Scotland with Celtic potentially clinching the title on Saturday and the fight for the play-off places continues in the lower leagues. The big question is who will finish second – Hibs or Rangers – and avoid an extra tie against Queen of the South. As ever William Hill’s Owen Scott has put together some stats-based […]

APR 30: ITALIAN & SPANISH BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 30 Apr 2015

NAPOLI are aiming to make it four wins in a row and stay in contention for a Champions League spot tonight. Empoli are unbeaten at home since January 26 but haven’t won a Serie A game since March 22. Last weekend’s 2-2 result at Atalanta was their second straight draw and dropped the Tuscan outfit to 16th place but 12 […]

APR 29: LEICESTER v CHELSEA PREVIEW

Posted on: 29 Apr 2015

IF I was Leicester boss Nigel Pearson I’d field a weakened side against Chelsea tonight. Give up the points and put everything into beating Newcastle on Saturday lunchtime and drag the Geordies into the dogfight. The Foxes have climbed off the bottom and out of the top three with four successive wins but even at full strength will struggle to […]

APR 28: ENGLISH FOOTBALL PREVIEW

Posted on: 27 Apr 2015

LIVERPOOL’S Champions League hopes are slim – but they’re not dead after back-to-back defeats for Man United. The Reds trail their rivals by seven points with a game in hand so must defeat Hull tonight. Brendan Rodgers’s side struggled to break down West Brom at the weekend but should have better luck against a side just a point clear of […]

APR 27: BOURNEMOUTH v BOLTON PREVIEW

Posted on: 26 Apr 2015

BOURNEMOUTH must have hoped playing two days after their promotion rivals would be an advantage but they couldn’t have wished for better results on Saturday. While Watford booked promotion to the Premier League by winning at Brighton, Middlesbrough’s dramatic defeat at Fulham and Norwich’s draw at Rotherham means Eddie Howe’s unfashionable outfit will seal their spot in the top flight […]

APR 26: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE/GOALS TIPS

Posted on: 25 Apr 2015

SOMETIMES stats are there to be beaten and that was the case with Berwick v East Fife on Saturday. The sides had met four times this season with three 3-2s and a 4-1 so both to score looked a no-brainer. But Berwick, who hit four the previous weekend at East Stirling, failed to keep their side of the bargain as […]

APR 25: SPFL STATS PACK

Posted on: 24 Apr 2015

OWEN SCOTT has taken a good look at the Scottish card and come up with some stats-based special bets. These are not tips but may help when picking your teams for Saturday. All prices from William Hill. DUNDEE v ST JOHNSTONE St Johnstone have not conceded a goal in any of their last four victories which includes a 1-0 win […]

APR 25: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE/GOALS TIPS

Posted on: 24 Apr 2015

BERWICK battered four past East Stirling last week and should be in the goals again when East Fife visit Shielfield. The clubs have met four times this season with all four producing five goals with both scoring – including three 3-2s. East Fife occupy the final play-off spot in League Two and while Berwick are four points behind a victory […]

APR 25: CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM NEWS

Posted on: 24 Apr 2015

FOUR teams are fighting for the two automatic promotion places from the Championship and Watford and Middlesbrough could take giant steps to sealing their spots on Saturday. Leaders Watford should win at Brighton and I expect Middlesbrough to leave Fulham with three points. Norwich must win at Rotherham to keep the pressure on but the hosts of course need the […]
