FIRST game post-split in the Scottish Premiership is an interesting one and it looks a must-win for Motherwell. They travel to Hamilton tonight needing to make up seven or eight points to avoid a relegation play-off – possibly with a Rangers side bossed by their previous manager Stuart McCall. Accies will be gutted at failing to make the top six […]

IT’S always disappointing to lose a Super Single but Thursday’s felt like it was beaten by a referee’s mistake. So now I know how Celtic are feeling after their weekend injustice. The decision to send off Dynamo Kiev’s Jermaine Lens for a first-half dive when he seemed to win a penalty was harsh and there and then I felt my […]

I PUT up an over 3.5 goals Trixie yesterday and here’s the reasoning behind the bet. It’s based on stats and two out of three would land a nice profit but it’s a speculative bet and my unit stake will be 0.25 points. Napoli to win are my Super Single as they head to Cagliari on the back of 1 […]

I’VE been saying for weeks the Premier League title race is over and the only thing that might change that is a defeat for Chelsea tonight. On current form it’s possible but having read the team news I can’t see the leaders losing with Man United missing key men and having to play Wayne Rooney in a deeper role. If […]

THE Voice of Value was a popular contributor during Cheltenham and the Grand National and here are his thoughts on today’s Coral Scottish Grand National from Ayr. He says: This has been a good race to me over the years, particularly with Merigo (twice) and Al Co last year. I was at the winning post in 2012 when Merigo won […]

ONE Championship club is guaranteed a spot in the William Hill Scottish Cup semi-final as Hibs meet Falkirk in the first semi-final at lunchtime today. Hibs, who lost the 2012 and 2013 finals, are 20-23 at boylesports to beat Falkirk inside 90 minutes and 2-5 to qualify for the Final. Falkirk are 10-3 at bet365 and 7-4 with Hills to […]

ARSENAL couldn’t be in better nick ahead of tonight’s FA Cup semi-final against Championship side Reading. The Gunners have won eight in a row to rise to second in the table and with a Champions League spot virtually guaranteed they can concentrate on retaining their trophy. Arsene Wenger has almost a full squad available and it’s no surprise to see […]

BLACKPOOL are down but they’re not out in the English Championship and I’m starting my both to score treble with them at home to Fulham. The Seasiders’ last four have brought up the market as have Fulham’s and earlier in the season they drew 2-2. Brentford need three points in their play-off chase after one win in five and six […]

FIRST we had Dundee beating Dundee Utd – now could it be Man Utd mauling Man City. Dee, as I predicted last Wednesday, turned their tables on neighbours who had dominated recent meetings and it’s a similar story with the fierce English rivals. United fans could have been forgiven for looking at the fixture list at the start of the […]

I HAVEN’T quite made it to Augusta yet – one leg to go – but when I do I expect Jordan Spieth still to be leading the way. The young American, one of Ace Venturer’s outright tips, lit up the tournament on day one with a sparkling eight-under 64 and leads the field by three. Spieth, who would have equalled […]

WE’RE off and running now JB Holmes has got my first win of the year. After a string of placed winners over the past few months I was wondering if I was ever going to land a winner – so to do it with a 28-1 shot was great. And it came just in time for the first Major of […]

BRENTFORD are one of my picks today and I also fancy both to score in their meeting with Nottingham Forest at Griffin Park. The Bees’ last six have seen both to score totalling 24 goals and they beat Forest 3-1 at the City Ground earlier this season. Forest’s play-off hopes are over after back-to-back defeats but they should still pose […]

MY antepost tips Chelsea have the Premier League title sewn up in my opinion but Man City won’t give up the chase. The champions can return to second spot by beating Crystal Palace tonight but will still trail the Stamford Bridge men by six points with a game more played. It’s a must-win for City and I expect them to […]

MY only tip on Burnley-Spurs has been both to score and all the stats you need to know are on the goals thread. It should be a cracker at Turf Moor between two teams who prefer to attack than defend. Harry Kane should be confident after making his England debut and scoring and it would be churlish to ignore him […]

IT was two out of three on the goals tips yesterday. The goals single won at 3-4 thanks to over 1.5 PSV goals and I also flagged up over 2.5 PSV goals at 11-4. My 2+ goals treble also came in at 5-2 thanks to Bayer Leverkusen, Atletico Madrid and Man United but the both to score treble was a […]

WITH the English card curtailed by Easter celebrations on Saturday I’m going for a Scottish both teams to score treble. Let’s start with a match between two teams who have been on fire since the turn of the year – Elgin and East Stirling. Both have soared up the League 2 table and both have netted in their last seven […]

AFTER four successive meetings with Dundee United it’s a trip to St Mirren tonight for Celtic. It might be different oppositon but I expect similar sort of results. After a 1-1 Scottish Cup draw at Tannadice, Celtic dumped United 3-0, 4-0 and 2-0 and 3-0 has a nice ring about it in Paisley. That pays 7-1 at Paddy Power and […]

The Midlands punter recently commented on the fact he was on holiday […]

WE can’t often say Scotland WILL win a game but on Sunday that’s the case. There’s not a lot to gain for Gordon Strachan whose side face world football’s biggest minnows in the shape of Gibraltar. He won’t get any credit unless his side net more than seven and they’ll be slated if they succeed by fewer than four goals […]

I’M going for a Scottish both teams to score treble tonight and let’s hope the teams are in the mind. My first pick is based purely on stats but it’s difficult to ignore the fact all three meetings this season between East Fife and Berwick have finished 3-2 – all to the away side. East Fife are favourites tonight but […]

IT’S international week but before we get into those games there are some lower-league matches in England and Scotland tonight plus Conference and League of Ireland clashes. I’ve taken a good look at the card and for the Super Single have split stakes on Rochdale to win and Rochdale not to lose at League One rivals Oldham. Rochdale boss Keith […]

IF Barca-Real is the big game on the Continent there is no doubt match of the day in England on Sunday is Liverpool v Man United. It will be a contrasting contest to that of the one at the Nou Camp but hopefully no less exciting between two fierce rivals. For me it’s about what United team will turn up. […]

Barcelona v Real Madrid, Nou Camp, Sunday, 8pm FORM goes out of the window in derbies so it’s always tricky trying to predict matches such as El Clasico. Barcelona v Real Madrid games are always anticipated even though they seem to come around much more usual than in past seasons due to many meetings in cup contests. Luis Enrique has […]

THERE isn’t an outstanding Premier League match on Saturday but there are some interesting ones. The big game takes place on Sunday with Liverpool hosting Man United and I’ll post a separate preview on the match. Arsenal look best bets on Saturday as they head for off form and injury-hit Newcastle. The Gunners, who played well in Monaco despite crashing […]

IT’S a big weekend in the SPFL with Celtic v Dundee Utd going to war for the fourth successive game and Hearts having a chance to win the Championship. After six reds in three meetings a sending-off at Parkhead on Saturday will be a popular pick while Hearts will be champions if they beat Falkirk and Hibs fail to take […]
