HARRY REDKNAPP would probably advise bunging a wad on Spurs tonight even if he says he’s not great with figures. The White Hart Lane boss has spent the week on trial over tax avoidance charges but will still pick the side for tonight’s FA Cup clash at Watford. Redknapp, as he did in the previous round and for the Europa League, […]

AFRICAN NATIONS matches have been tough to call so far with one of the favourites Senegal already out after two defeats. No game has been decided by more than one goal but that trend may end tonight when tournamant favourites Ivory Coast face Burkina Faso (7pm, live on Eurosport). In their opener I tipped Didier Drogba to score first and […]

Nou Camp, Wednesday, 9pm, live Sky Sports 2 BARCELONA got the better of Jose Mourinho yet again last week and should complete the job on Wednesday. Pep Guardiola’s men lead 1-0 from the Spanish Cup quarter-final first leg and I can’t see any way back for their rivals. The defeat and manner of it earned Mourinho boos from the Bernabeu […]

Anfield, Wednesday, 7.45pm, live Sky Sports 1 KENNY DALGLISH’S weekend rant was done mainly to charge his troops for tonight’s Carling Cup showdown with Man City. The Reds were awful against Bolton on Saturday but should be up for a titanic tie in front of their home fans that has the carrot of a Wembley spot at the end of […]

DOUGIE FREEDMAN says Cardiff’s bottle will crash tonight – but will he be right? His Crystal Palace side head for Wales leading 1-0 from the first leg of their Carling Cup semi-final with the prize of a showpiece date with Man City or Liverpool at stake. Cardiff are by far the better side on league form but Freedman, who rested nine […]

MY 13-1 lucky for some Sunday success seemed lucky for many going by the response. I picked five out of five and I’m going for a repeat performance. I was tempted to add a few more from the Blue Square Premier but let’s not get greedy. However, at the end of this piece there are two extra selections for the […]

IT was a decent enough Sunday after a tough Saturday. My both teams to score fivefold came up, I tipped Man United to win at Arsenal, Gareth Bale at 9-2 to net for Spurs and Didier Drogba to score first at 11-4 for Ivory Coast in the African Nations Cup. It was a bit of sweat on the both teams […]

Sunday, 4pm AFRICAN CUP favourites Ivory Coast kick off their campaign with what should be an easy win against Sudan. I say should but that was the case for second favourites Senegal yesterday but they crashed to a shock defeat to Zambia. So Ivory Coast can’t take anything for granted and I reckon that result will have given them a warning they […]

FOR me this line has to start with Arsenal v Man United. There were of course 10 goals in the last meeting between the sides when United won 8-2. And there could be plenty more at the Emirates between two sides who struggle to keep clean sheets. On the continent I’m starting with one that pays a best 10-11 with […]

SUPER SUNDAY and Clash of the Titans – they are phrases often overused. But this weekend the tags are spot on. First we have Man City v Spurs followed by Arsenal v Man United in a spectacular double header. The earlier matches between the sides this season produced 16 goals so hopefully there will be plenty more thrills and spills. […]

LIBYA scored just six goals in six games to qualify for the finals so don’t expect a goalfest when the action gets under way tonight. Opening matches of tournaments are often cagey and co-hosts Equitorial Guinea will do well to break down a stubborn defence that conceded just one goal in six qualifiers. Guinea will be backed by a fanatical […]

All games Saturday 3pm (except Norwich 12.45) ONE day it will happen – either Norwich or Blackburn will keep a clean sheet in the Premier League. Hopefully Saturday”s not the day as for the second week running they form the basis of my both teams to score line. Both did the business last week with Blackburn beating Fulham 3-1 and […]

All games Saturday 3pm I’M starting this week’s line with a struggling team who can’t stop scoring. We’re talking about Hibs who lie second bottom of the SPL despite netting in their last five games. They followed a 3-2 Scottish Cup win at Cowdenbeath by handing boss Pat Fenlon his first three points with another 3-2 success at Dunfermline. Strikers […]

THE January blues are really kicking in – so the best way to cheer punters up is by picking a winning SFL treble. Once again we have been doing our homework and hopefully have come up with a line that will bash the bookies. We kick off in the Irn-Bru First Division and focus on Falkirk’s away trip to face […]

IVORY COAST are the 6-4 favourites to win the African Cup of Nations but bookies and punters are in disagreement over the biennial tournament. The West African team, which boasts the talents of Didier Drogba, the Toure brothers, Cheick Tiote and Gervinho among others have long been regarded as the most star-studded of squads but have failed to live up […]

I’M delighted to announce William Hill as the new main sponsors of MrFixitsTips.co.uk. Hills are tremendous supporters of Scottish football, epitomised by their headline sponsorship of this year’s Scottish Cup. They’re also one of the few online bookies who take bets on loads of Scottish football markets including the Scottish Junior scene. William Hill replace bodog who had been with […]

THERE were just nine winners in midweek – including a 25-1 cracker. We’ve had a 50-1 tip and this was the second biggest bet365 super single winner of the season. So well done Tyrone who predicted Real Madrid HT/Barcelona FT at 25s. He’s in the hat with the other eight others to win a £10 free bet with bet365. Guy Walker […]

Bernabeu, Wednesday, 9pm, live on Sky Sports 2 WEAKENED sides are usually played in Spanish Cup ties but not when Real Madrid and Barcelona clash. These rivals are meeting as often as the Old Firm nowadays – this is the eight game in seven months – but it’s still a mouthwatering prospect with quality such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo […]

Dunfermline v Inverness, Wednesday, 7.45, live on Sky Sports 1 INVERNESS have failed to beat Dunfermline this season but should get the better of them tonight. Terry Butcher’s men have been held three times by the SPL bottom dogs but will feel they’d have won the tie at home but for an early sending-off for Kenny Gillet. With 11 men […]

KILMARNOCK and St Mirren slipped up against First Division opposition in the Scottish Cup and hope to get it right at the second attempt. The Rugby Park men were a penalty kick away from exiting at Dundee while Saints failed to break down a stubborn Hamilton defence at home. Killie have home advantage as they try to book a last-16 […]

THERE were plenty of surprise results in Serie A at the weekend but hopefully it will all go to plan in Naples. Napoli are a best 1-3 at bet365 and William Hill to beat a Bologna side who have improved lately but still sit one place above the drop zone. That 1-3 isn’t the most attractive price but one thing […]

DW Stadium, Monday, 8pm, live on Sky Sports 1 MAN CITY travel to Wigan tonight and need a win to stop a slump turning into a mini-crisis. The title and a consolation Europa League run could be all that’s left for Roberto Mancini’s men if they fail to overturn a Carling Cup deficit to Liverpool. City have lost three of their […]

I STARTED my both teams to score treble with the Milan derby and it’s a match I think AC will win. The Serie A leaders are eight points clear of rivals Inter who have recovered from a shocking start with seven wins in eight. However, AC are unbeaten at home having conceded just four goals all season and look too […]

IMAGINE being a Swansea fan and looking at the opposition teamsheet and seeing the names of Robin van Persie and Thierry Henry. It would be enough to make you spring a leek! Only Man Utd have left the Liberty this season with three points but with that man and Robin up front who would bet against the Gunners. Arsene Wenger […]

BLACKBURN have been unlucky since they beat Man United but have scored in successive defeats to Stoke and Newcastle. Rovers still haven’t kept a clean sheet this season and both teams have hit the target in their last six games. The trend should continue against a Fulham side who followed up their defeat of Arsenal by hitting Charlton for four […]
