Tonight, Selhurst Park, 8pm, live on Sky Sports 1 SOMETIMES you look at a fixture and all you see are nils. No thrills or spills – just nils. However, games that promise to be dull on paper can surprise. For example who would have predicted St Mirren 4, St Johnstone 3 – a game that cried out unders – or […]

IT started so well on Friday with a couple of good wins on the Newcastle-Liverpool game but after that my top tips failed to match Friday’s success. A 93rd-minute equaliser for Millwall against QPR beat the Top Treble and Ross County never got going at Kilmarnock to leave me with eight winning Super Singles out of 12. I’m still looking […]

St James’s Park, Saturday, 12.45pm, live on BT Sport SINCE the days of Kevin Keegan and Liverpool 4, Newcastle 3 results the fixture has been much anticipated on the English card. It rarely fail to deliver thrills and spills and there has never been a 0-0 between the pair in the Premier League and more recently the last four meetings […]

IT’S great to have a full card to choose but whether that makes it any easier to pick a winning treble we’ll see. I immediately ruled out English League Two games after being beaten by them over the last two weeks. That was despite being tempted by Hartlepool who have notched three good away wins in a row and back […]

ROMA have been the story of the season in Italy and tonight their title credentials are put to the test against Napoli. It’s first v second but Roma have been almost untouchable this season, winning seven out of seven and conceding just one goal while banging in 20 at the other end. Not many people backed Roma to challenge after […]

IT’S the European finale as far as World Cup qualifiers go with four top spots still up for grabs. Belgium, Italy, Germany, Holland and Switzerland are through while Russia, England and Spain and almost certain to join them with wins on Tuesday night. The closest fight for first place is in Group G where Bosnia and Greece are locked on […]

OWEN SCOTT’S been digging out some winners for us over the past few weeks. Here the William Hill man looks at the Scottish lower-league stats this weekend in the absence of Premiership matches. Alloa v Falkirk Alloa have won their last two matches without conceding a goal. Alloa to win to nil (7-2, William Hill). Dumbarton v Dundee Dundee have […]

LEAGUE TWO sides Mansfield and Wimbledon beat my treble last weekend – and have I learned my lesson? Well, no! I’m starting my line this weekend with another League Two side who have caught my eye in the shape of Dagenham and Redbridge – but to be fair there are no top-flight or English Championship games to choose from. The […]

HERE is this week’s SPFL first-scorer column from McBookie.com. There were a few winners last week but it’s Tony who has scooped the £10 free bet after predicting Anthony Stokes would score first in the Celtic v Motherwell clash. McBookie.com are the only online bookmaker listing first-scorer prices on all SPFL games. It’s a great and we’ve teamed up with […]

ENGLAND need two wins to guarantee a trip to Brazil – and should claim the first of them tonight against Montenegro. Roy Hodgson’s side are taking the qualification battle to the wire after a lacklustre campaign that’s seen them beat only Moldova and San Marino. However, the table-topping English remain unbeaten after home and away draws to Ukraine and a […]

MONDAY was fairly quiet but a winning Super Single saved the day after my attempt at landing a fairly obscure treble failed. The teams on the card are more familiar to us on Tuesday but there will be the usual problems with trying to find winners with some sides playing weakened teams and others without players on international duty. Take […]

UK-WISE we have tonight’s Partick Thistle v Hibs Premiership match and the JP Trophy ties ahead of Friday’s World Cup qualifiers. They’re not games to spend your wages on my advice would be to keep stakes small. In fact, do you know what would be good? Team news is so important when looking at JP games that anyone, maybe a […]

Ayr v Rangers, Sunday, Somerset Park, 12.45pm, live on Sky Sports RANGERS’ eight-goal haul against Stenhousemuir took their season’s tally to 32 in seven outings. At this rate they’re on course to net a whopping 150 plus which is unheard of. McBookie.com offered 100 league goals at 2-5 but that’s now 1-20 and 135 is just 1-4 from 7-2. William […]

FLEETWOOD beat the treble last weekend after blowing a lead against Exeter. That was a pity but I’ll be going for three successful top trebles in a row if Malaga have beaten Osasuna. Sometimes I worry about backing sides in League Two in England and Scotland because there’s a school of thought results in this divisions are less predictable. But […]

OWEN SCOTT’S SPFL stats pack has been proving popular – plus his specials on Rangers. Here are some interesting facts dug out by the William Hill man ahead of this weekend’s matches. Celtic v Motherwell Celtic have won the last six ties at home to Motherwell without losing a goal. Celtic to win to nil pays 13-10 at William Hill. […]

CELTIC keeper Fraser Forster could find himself on a plane to Brazil if England qualify for the World Cup after punters backed him into 4-1 from 5-1 to make the tournament. Forster, dubbed “The Great Wall” by the Spanish press after his performance against Barcelona in the Champions League last November has continued to impress against the best in Europe. […]

MAN UTD and Man City are aiming to bounce back from weekend shockers as they continue their Champions League adventures on Wednesday. United were stunned by West Brom to make it three defeats in six league matches while City crashed 3-2 at Aston Villa – the same scoreline that saw them stunned by promoted Cardiff. United possibly have the toughest […]

THE SPFL weekend card is completed by St Mirren v Aberdeen and there’s no doubt the money will be on the away team. Aberdeen are scoring goals and not conceding – while Saints are still looking for their first win of the campaign. The Dons have kept five successive clean sheets and at the other netted nine goals in three […]

EVERTON are the only side still unbeaten in the Premier league and their record should remain intact tonight against Newcastle. Roberto Martinez’s side have started the season well despite the loss of Merouane Fellaini and David Moyes to Man United. Bringing in Romelu Lukaku on loan from Chelsea was a superb piece of business and he is 4-1 with bet365 […]

THERE are some big games this weekend – but none bigger than Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid (9pm). Gareth Bale may or may not be involved but one thing’s for sure his presence has fired up Cristiano Ronaldo to play even better. Ronaldo famously has a goal-a-game career record with the Spanish giants but since his club splashed £86million on […]

MY Saturday treble landed for the fourth time last weekend – so that’s a 50 per cent hit rate at odds of no shorter than 15-4. The ROI is huge and last week’s selections – Swindon, Mansfield and Hamilton – gave us a nice 5-1 winner. I’m hoping to make it five out of nine this weekend and start in […]

LAST week William Hill’s Owen Scott pointed us in the direction of several winners with his excellent SPFL Stats Pack. He flagged up Kris Boyd to score anytime at 6-4 and Motherwell draw no bet at 4-5 among others. He has done his homework again this week to come up with these beauties that may help you make a choice […]
