WHEN looking at today’s European card I didn’t mean to pick a French treble – it just happened that way. The first team to catch my at a decent price were Rennes who are out to continue their magnificent form at home to Montpellier. The Brittany side are on a nine-match unbeaten run (seven wins and two draws) – and […]

THERE is a full card of Premier League matches on Tuesday and Wednesday and it’s a tricky-looking set of fixtures. Out of the 12 teams in action on Tuesday only two are odds on – Man Utd at home to Stoke and Swansea at home to QPR. They should both win with the double paying 6-4 at McBookie and BetVictor. […]

I’M hoping for a goal-laden Sunday and start my line early with the Den Haag v Ajax clash. Ajax have netted exactly four goals in their last three league games against Heerenveen, Cambuur and Dordrecht and won 4-0 at Den Haag last season. The hosts have conceded 13 in six outings and there’s more chance of finding a hill in […]

I’M not messing about with the English Premier League card this weekend – it looks tough to pick winners so I’m firing on a weighty double on Man Utd and Chelsea. United entertain Hull full of confidence after last week’s smash-and-grab win at Arsenal and Chelsea must feel they take on anyone after smashing Schalke 5-0 away in the Champions […]

THERE are 16 ties in the Scottish Cup fourth round and seven of them are crackers. Five all-Premiership ties were drawn as well the Sunday showdowns between Rangers v Kilmarnock and Hearts v Celtic – four sides who should be in the top flight. It means at least seven very good sides will exit and there is every chance of […]

IT’S a big weekend in the William Hill Scottish Cup with some cracking ties in the fourth round. There are five all Premiership matches and on Sunday it’s Rangers v Killie and Hearts v Celtic. William Hill’s Owen Scott has looked out some stats and special bets that may be of interest. Remember though these are not tips. DUNDEE V […]

FOUR teams have already qualified for the knockout stages of the Europa League and may others will join them in the penultimate round of group matches on Thursday night. Red Bull Salzburg, Dynamo Moscow, Fiorentina and Legia Warsaw are all certain of their places in the last 32 are looking to seal first place in their respective groups. Celtic could […]

IF Concord Rangers played in the SPFL would they be called the Flying Scotsman? Of course they wouldn’t. The Conference South team aren’t named after the ill-fated jet but instead a beach near their Canvey Island base. Concord will be unknown to most as this is the first time they’ve qualified for the FA Cup and they host Mansfield in […]

IT’S back to normal and there’s a full Scottish card to look at with five Premiership games and Hearts v Rangers on Saturday and one on Sunday. William Hill’s Owen Scott has looked at the games and come up with some stats and prices that may help you with your bets. These remember are not tips. CELTIC v DUNDEE David […]

THERE are big live games in England and Scotland today with Arsenal facing Man Utd at 5.30pm and Hearts taking on Rangers at 12.45. So let’s start with the early on that’s been tagged a title decider. It’s too early of course for that but unbeaten Hearts will move nine points clear of their Ibrox rivals with a win and […]

I’VE said a few times recently that Brooks Koepka was one to watch and last week he came up trumps for us in Turkey at 35-1. I also tipped Henrik Stenson and but for a triple-bogey seven in the first round he could have been challenging for the title but ended up third for a place so good weekend all […]

IT’s a big day for Wayne Rooney who will be honoured with his 100th England cap in the qualifier against Slovenia. Daniel Sturridge is again missing for England so skipper Rooney has a great chance of breaking the deadlock at 18-5 with McBookie and BetVictor. The Man Utd star is 11-10 at bet365 to net at any time. Three wins […]

THE Euro 2016 qualifiers start back tonight and two stars of the last round meet at Celtic Park. Scotland maintained their good form under Gordon Strachan by drawing in Poland while the Irish picked up a point away to Germany. In terms of importance this is the biggest game of Gordon Strachan’s reign. England will pitch up at Celtic Park […]

THE countdown to the big Euro 2106 qualifier between Scotland and Ireland on Friday is on. It should be a cracking contest and I’ll put up tips late on Thursday night. I can’t see Scotland losing the game and if they take their chances they should win but I’m expecting goals, cards and thrills and spills between two fierce rivals. […]

I WAS about to celebrate a wire-to-wire win last week when Graeme McDowell blew the WGC-HSBC Champions last week. After leading for three round the Irishman missed a 10-footer on the last to force a play-off. Meanwhile, Bubba Watson holed from sand at the last to make the play-off then won it against Tim Clark. McDowell’s place gave me 15-2 […]

CELTIC will tempt many at a best 5-6 with Betfred and others away to Aberdeen (12.30pm) but it could one of the champs’ toughest tests of the season. The Dons beat Celtic twice last season – 2-1 – and usually give them a decent game at Pittodrie. However, one stat against the home men is the fact they’ve beaten the […]

THE big game on Saturday is Liverpool v Chelsea (12.45pm) and while I don’t think the visitors to Anfield will win I don’t expect them to lose. Chelsea are unbeaten this season but have had a few wobbles and a 1-1 draw at Maribor in the Champions League was a disappointing result. Liverpool lost at Real Madrid but their display […]

OWEN SCOTT’S dug out some more beauties for this weekend’s Scottish league matches. The William Hill statsmeister has looked at past games and come with the facts that matter. Remember these special bets from William Hill are no tips – just info that may point you in the right direction. MOTHERWELL v DUNDEE UTD (Friday) Five of the last six […]

CUP draws are almost as exciting as the games themselves these days which pretty much sums up the state of Scottish football. After Celtic and Rangers were paired in the League Cup semis on Saturday the fourth round pairings of the William Hill Scottish Cup drew gasps from those who witnessed it. Celtic have another cracker as they travel to […]

ANDY MURRAY’S out of the Paris Masters and sitting with his feet up after at least clinching a place in the ATP Finals in London. The tennis action continues today with Milos Raonic, conqueror of Roger Federer, facing Tomas Berdych as he fights for his London place. It’s an action-packed sports card with loads of rugby, golf and darts action […]

A FEW weeks back backing Man City to win the derby would have been no-brainer but now there is no concensus. I’ve seen people tipping the home, away and draw as well as both teams to score, overs and unders. Doubts over City come after back-to-back defeats to West Ham and Newcastle and four wins 12 games which certainly isn’t […]

THE Scottish card on Saturday is dominated by the third round of the William Hill Scottish Cup. Joining the likes of Rangers, Dunfermline, Morton and Raith are lesser-known names such Hurlford, Linlithgow, Bo’ness, Edinburgh City, Brora and Nairn. It would be easy to dismiss the junior and Highland and Lowland League sides but the standard isn’t as bad as people […]

OWEN SCOTT picked out stats for each of the Scottish League Cup quarter-finals and landed three winners and a near miss. The William Hill man spends hours each week looking for trends on the Scottish games and remember these are pointers not tips. His three midweek winners were Lewis Macleod to score and Rangers win (19-5), Aberdeen to win to […]
