JUST one side beat my treble last weekend and it happened to be the shortest-priced side on the line. Berwick failed to win at junior side Culter in the Scottish Cup while there were comfortable wins for West Brom and Coventry. My Top Treble this weekend starts with Liverpool at home to Fulham – and I make no apology for […]

OWEN SCOTT of William Hill has been working hard to pick out some trends from this weekend’s SPFL games and here’s what he’s come up with. Ross County v Celtic Celtic failed to win on their three trips to Dingwall last season. Ross County to win or draw (21-10, William Hill) Aberdeen v Hearts Aberdeen have won their last four […]

JERMAIN DEFOE should edge ahead of Martin Chivers and become Spurs’ record Euopean scorer in tonight’s return meeting with Moldovans Sheriff Tiraspol. I’ll be on the England man, who has six Europa League goals in four games, to score first at 9-4 with bet365 and Ladbrokes and he’s so hot you can’t find bigger than 1-2 at Betfred to net […]

LAST week wasn’t great but at least Martin Kaymer gave us a run for our money and almost an each-way place. Hopefully we can recoup some of our money at the Turkish Airlines Open which has enticed favourite Tiger Woods (9-2, general), Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood and Charl Schwartzel and loads of other top golfers. Ian Poulter seems to be […]

THERE will be fireworks tonight hopefully on and off the pitch. In the week it was revealed Premier League goal tallies this season are the lowest ever (2.4 a game) the Champions League clashes promise a feast rather than a famine. The likes of Man City, Bayern Munich and PSG (depending on team news) are expected to rattle in the […]

Tonight, Pittodrie, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 ABERDEEN were comfortable 3-0 winners at Firhill earlier in the season and are 8-11 with the likes of Ladbrokes to complete the double. That price has been falling and Partick Thistle are up to 9-2 with BetVictor, McBookie.com and others. The Dons should win but it’s worth noting Thistle’s only victory in […]

Today, Goodison Park, 1.30pm, live on Sky Sports 1 EVERTON and Spurs have started the season pretty well and it’s tough to pick a winner when they clash at Goodison. Both have lost just once this season and a draw at 12-5 with bet365 must have a chance. Spurs haven’t won any of the last six meetings at Goodison with […]

Stadio Olimpico, Sunday, 7.45pm Live on BT Sport 1 ROMA continue to surprise having made it a record 10 Serie A wins in a row from the start of the season on Thursday night. It wasn’t easy though as they edged out a defensive Chievo side 1-0 and it’s obvious they are missing injured skipper Fransceso Totti. Torino are next […]

I’VE had a bit of success on the overs market in recent weeks and I fancy a treble on Sunday. Let’s start with Verona who I’ve highlighted recently. There have been plenty of goals in Serie A and eight out of 10 of Verona’s league games have been over 2.5 goals. They’ve been playing some good stuff and scored 13 […]

SINCE bookies started the both teams to score markets and coupons has a bet been so popular. I’m talking about the score and win market. Prices range roughly from 2-1 to about 10-1 and it’s those odds that have attracted punters. People are talking about the market everywhere I go and it’s a popular topic of conversation on the site. […]

Today, the Emirates, 5.3pm, live on Sky Sports 1 ARSENAL failed in a £40million bid for Luis Suarez in the summer – and tonight we could find out why Arsene Wenger wanted to sign the Uruguayan enigma. The Liverpool star has netted two in two at the Emirates and heads to London on a high after a sparkling hat-trick against […]

I WAS hoping for a Derby winner last week but ended up with a losing treble. This weekend I’m starting my search for a treble with West Brom in the Premier League at home to Crystal Palace. . West Brom have been impressive for most of the season and won at Old Trafford of course. Last week they were well […]

OWEN SCOTT of William Hill has been up all night digging out stats for this weekend’s Scottish games. Here are some of the trends he’s spotted in the Premiership and William Hill Scottish Cup. Celtic v Dundee Utd Anthony Stokes has scored five goals in his last four matches against Dundee Utd. Stokes to score and Celtic to win pays […]

THE only online bookmaker listing first-scorer prices on all SPFL games are McBookie.com and this weekend they have priced up nine of the Scottish Cup ties involving two league teams. It’s a great service and we’ve teamed up with the Scots firm to look at some of the best bets from this week’s Scottish Cup action. Also, leave your pick […]

THE WGC-HSBC Champions tournament at the Sheshan International Golf Club in Shanghai has certainly pulled in the players this week. What with 18 Major winners and 40 of the world’s top 50 taking part picking a winner is going to be tough but I’ll give it a good shot. I’ve backed Henrik Stenson (16-1, various) for the last few months […]

SIX of the last seven meetings of the Edinburgh rivals have brought up under 2.5 goals with the exception being the 5-1 Scottish Cup Final. This season Hearts have only scored more than one goal twice and of them was a 3-3 draw with Queen of the South in the League Cup. Eight out of 12 of Hibs’ games this […]

IT’S a big night of football across Europe and in Spain and Italy in general. Here’s some team news and thoughts on the match ahead of my top tips going up in the morning. Valencia coach Miroslav Djukic needs a win after his side’s 4-1 thrashing by local rivals Villarreal. They host bottom club Almeria who have lost five consecutive […]

Monday, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 IF ever a game suggested an away win it’s this one – but we know Championship games don’t always go the way we expect. Take Derby v Birmingham on Saturday for example. It was my headline tip of the weekend and the Racing Post’s as well as other tipsters. I’m pretty sure the […]

IT’S difficult to forget Paolo di Canio’s sliding celebration as his Sunderland side won 3-0 at St James’s Park last season. It’s Sunderland who are on the slide now and I can see Newcastle wreaking revenge in today’s big derby. Gus Poyet has replaced Di Canio but didn’t exactly make the ideal start to life as his side crashed to […]

LAST Sunday saw goals galore in Italy – and at Hamburg – helped land me a btts/over 2.5 goals fourfold and I’m kicking off today’s offering back in Serie A. First pick is over 2.5 goals at Juventus v Genoa. Past meetings suggest both teams will score but Genoa have netted just four in four away games this season so […]

THE first El Clasico of the season between Barcelona and Real Madrid kicks off at 5pm and I’m approaching it the same way I did Newcastle v Liverpool last weekend. I looked at the stats and predicted a goalfest with my over 3.5 goals prediction coming up with the 2-2 draw. Picking a winner between these two star-studded sides is […]

QPR badly beat up my treble last weekend when they conceded a 93rd-minute equaliser to Millwall so I feel I’m due one. I’m kicking off with Derby at home to Birmingham and won’t Steve McClaren be popular with fans if he returns them to the Premier League. The former England boss wasn’t their No.1 one pick to replace Nigel Clough […]

OWEN SCOTT of William Hill has been again burning the midnight oil to search out some stats and facts about this weekend’s SPFL games. He starts with tonight’s Highland Derby between Ross County and Inverness and I hope this info helps when you’re considering your weekend wagers. Ross County v Inverness (Friday) The home side has not lost in the […]

CAUTION is advised as usual on Europa League games because we know a lot of favourites will prove to be a letdown. One way to go is to back both teams to score or over 2.5 goals as generally matches produce more strikes than Champions League matches – unless you have Zlatan Ibrahimovic in your line-up. I’m starting with both […]

AFTER Sunday’s success with a fourfold that paid 11-1 in some places I’m back with an over 2.5 goals combo. To be fair there isn’t much difference between the btts and over 2.5 goals – only a 1-1 draw will bring up btts and not overs – but prices are usually bigger on the overs. So let’s start with Coventry […]
