The English Championship kicks off on Friday and as usual it will be ultra competitive with plenty of shocks along the way. Mr Fixit picks out the teams he thinks will go well and look at the antepost markets

Mr Fixit looks ahead to a big night in the Europa League with Aberdeen and Everton among the teams fighting to reach the play-off round.

It’s Europa League night with Aberdeen taking a 2-1 lead to Apollon and Everton 1-0 up heading to Slovakia. We look at the Brits’ chances of reaching the play-offs.

Mr Fixit looks ahead to an exciting night of Champions League qualifying matches where Celtic are in the last chance saloon in Trondheim against Norwegian champions Rosenborg.
Posted on: 01 Aug 2017
It’s Trondheim or bust as Brendan Rodgers goes for Euro glory tonight. It’s going to be tough for the Hoops in Norway and I think there will be goals for either side.

IT’S the final round of Betfred Cup matches and only three teams are sure of their last-16 spot. Motherwell, Livingston and Falkirk have won their groups so that leaves five table-toppers and four second-placed sides to join Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen and St Johnstone in the next stage. Group B has turned into a thrilling three-horse race after Hearts’ shock midweek defeat […]

JOHNB’S been dangling a carrot recently by promising a huge antepost tip and here it is. Nothing’s ever certain when it comes to bets that need to run the whole season and with goalscorers there is the chance a player picks up an injury or plays so well he moves to a bigger club. Most people will look to Celtic, […]

ABERDEEN turned up the heat on Siroki Brijeg in the last round and face an even tougher test against Apollon Limassol tonight. The Dons were held at home before a super show in Bosnia saw them triumph. Derek McInnes’s men have saved their best Euro displays for on the road in recent seasons but may need to take a lead […]

BOOKIES have made Celtic big favourites to beat Rosenborg tonight – and the Scots champions should live up to their billing. Brendan Rodgers’s side face a tricky tie against the Norwegian league leaders who are halfway through their season but are rated 1-3 with best365 to make it through. That gives Rosenborg an advantage – as does the absence of […]

I’VE had one winner, one loser and one void from my three Betfred moneyback accas. Prices are so short on the favourites which is why I’ve adopted this tactic. Using level stakes I’m showing decent profit with a 13-2 winner and I was unlucky on Saturday with Hamilton conceding late to void my bet – and I wasn’t happy to […]

THE OPEN has been a Jordan Spieth procession and it’s difficult to see him throwing it away on Sunday. A birdie at the last for a third-round 65 gave the American a three-shot lead and also brought up my Super Single as he outscored playing partner Matt Kuchar by one. The two-time Major champion, tipped antepost by Ace Venturer at 18-1, […]

IT’S been a spectacular two days at The Open with some spectacular scoring in all kinds of weather. Jordan Spieth has been the stand-out performer and managed to shoot under par as rain and wind battered the Southport track and that was some going. The two-time Major champion is possibly the best putter in the world and when the blade […]

TWO rounds of the Betfred Cup have produced betting heaven and hell. Welcome to the new season. Last Saturday only one favourite (Partick Thistle) failed to win and I posted 13-2 and 13-10 winners. It was a different story on Tuesday with a series of shocks that culminated in eight draws and no returns. Let’s hope the group games go […]

THE Europa League has been a graveyard for Scots sides this season and Aberdeen are battling not to go under too. Derek McInnes’s men are up against it after conceding an equaliser at Pittodrie which means they have to score in Bosnia against Siroki Brijeg. I’d write off the Dons if it wasn’t for the fact they’ve won five away […]

IT might just be me but it wouldn’t be a surprise if the winner of this year’s Open is lifting his first Major. If you look over the past two years all seven Majors have been won by a first-timer – Brooks Koepka (US Open), Sergio Garcia (Masters), Jimmy Walker (US PGA 2016), Henrik Stenson (Open), Dustin Johnson (US Open), […]

BIRKDALE is likely to see a right Royal battle in what looks the widest-open Open for years. No golfer has dominated this season and both Majors have been taken by first-time Grand Slam champions. Sergio Garcia triumphed at the Masters and Brooks Koepka at the US Open to make it seven new Major champions in a row. Most of my […]

FINDING value last week when Celtic visited Belfast was tough – and it’s the same tonight. I fancied Brendan Rodgers’s side to win by three but they fell a goal short. The Scots romped into a 2-0 lead but that’s how it stayed thanks to a combo of poor finishing and great goalkeeping by Roy Carroll. It’s finished as a […]

BACKERS of favourites got off to a flyer on Saturday with Partick Thistle the only Betfred Cup jolly not to win. I started the season well with two wins out of three – a 13-2 fivefold and 13-10 Super Single. The second group matches are played tonight and teams such as Dundee and Hearts make their bow. Once again I’m […]

THE build-up has seemed to go on for ages but at least we are in The Open week. Royal Birkdale is the host for the 10th time since 1954 and alongside Royal Lytham has been the most regular visited venue. Here are a couple of the more recent Opens at this magnificent venue. In 2008 Birkdale was where Padraig Harrington […]

THERE are 15 Betfred Cup ties and 12 of them have odds-on favourites – so don’t get sucked into trying a big opening-day accumulator. Last season heralded the return of the group set-up and summer football and there were plenty of surprises with holders Ross County for example falling at the first hurdle. Many sides will treat the group stages […]

THERE have been security problems for Celtic’s trip to Linfield but on the pitch there will be no worries for the Scots. Last season’s defeat in Gibraltar is long forgotten and Brendan Rodgers will have learned from that. His first competitive game was a Champions League qualifier defeat to Red Imps but there will be no red faces in Belfast […]

ABERDEEN can restore Scottish football’s battered pride by beating Siroki Brijeg tonight. Already the Dons are our the Premiership’s sole survivors in the Europa League after Rangers and St Johnstone fell at the first hurdle. Derek McInnes has set his sights on the group stage and while that’s a tall order his men should be too strong for the Bosnians […]

THE host of this year’s Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open, Dundonald Links, has undergone a revamp since 2015. Several of the greens have increased in size and three have been levelled in certain areas to soften the contours. With this being the precursor to The Open you would expect there to be a good field but if you didn’t know […]

THE TPC Deere Run in Illinois is not the hardest course on the PGA Tour by any manner of means and in fact Jordan Spieth shot 61 two years ago and Paul Goydos hit a 59 in 2010 so expect low scoring this weekend. With water in play on five of the holes driving accuracy could be a factor and […]
