What a weekend we've got to look forward to!
- The Masters ✅
- Grand National ✅
- El Clasico ✅
Not to mention a full card of (domestic) football in the UK and across Europe which all kicks-off on Friday night in the Premier League and the Championships north and south of the border.
In Scotland Hearts can move a step closer to a return to the Premiership with a win at home to Alloa. The Jambos have stumbled their way to the title so far and could clinch promotion this weekend if results go their way. Punters have all but given up backing Hearts after a series of let-downs. Not many will fancy will getting involved again at 1/6. KevMac has braved it out with three picks in his match preview including a 2/1 shot on a first half goal for the hosts.
Second-placed Watford put the best home record in the Championship on the line against Reading as they chase a return to the top flight. The Hornets rued a late goal at Middlesborough in midweek that cost them a couple of points but they're still nine points clear of third place Brentford.
Reading need points themselves as they try to secure a play-off berth but Tolu is siding with Xisco Munoz's side for his selections in his big match preview and Watford will be a popular pick at 5/6.
Time is running out for Scott Parker's Fulham side who have lost three on the bounce and you fear a fourth tonight could be fatal to their survival hopes.
Visitors Wolves have have had a tough season themselves. Just nine wins (only two of which by two goals) will almost certianly see them finish in the bottom half of the table and with them seemingly well clear of any relegation worries they could switch off from now until the end of the season.
Bookies make the Cottagers 6/4 favourites to win the three points but they've taken just 10 from a possible 48 at home. SlipsTips can't see Wolves losing and has added a 6/1 yellow card tip to his selections for the match.

It’s Friday so you should all know what division I’ll be heading to tonight, the Dutch second division. NAC Breda should be too strong for Utrecht’s youth side and goals is on my agenda in Volendam.
NAC Breda vs Jong Utrecht
NAC Breda to win & over 1.5 goals
Volendam vs Helmond Sport
Both teams to score
Double pays
1.79/1 (Betway/BoyleSports)
Reasoning on both games below 👇🏼
NAC Breda vs Jong Utrecht
Eerste Divisie 🇳🇱
Friday 9th April, 17:00 ⏰
NAC have won 11 of their 16 home games including 5 of their last 6.
NAC have scored 2+ goals in 11 of their 16 home games this season.
NAC have won 6 of their 7 games against bottom half sides scoring 2+ in all 6 of those victories.
Utrecht have lost 10 of their 16 away games including 6 of their last 7.
Utrecht have conceded 2+ goals in 12 of their 16 away games including their last 7.
Utrecht have lost 4 of their 5 games against sides in the top 6 conceding 2+ in all 5.
4th placed NAC Breda come into this looking to put pressure on the 2 sides above them. NAC have won 6 of their 7 at home scoring 15 goals and will look to defeat 17th placed Utrecht. Utrecht are on a poor run of form losing 11 of their last 13 games. I don’t see them picking up anything here against a Breda side who are strong at home and score plenty.
Volendam vs Helmond Sport
Eerste Divisie 🇳🇱
Friday 4th April, 19:00 ⏰
Volendam have scored in 11 of their 16 home games scoring 33 goals.
Volendam have conceded in 13 of their 16 home games conceding 26 goals.
Volendam have scored 8 goals in their last 4 home games and have conceded in their last 7.
Helmond have scored in 12 of their 15 away games scoring 22.
Helmond have conceded in 13 of their 15 away games conceding 24.
Helmond have scored in their last 10 away games and conceded in all 5 away to top half sides.
Volendam come into this as short priced favourites against a side only 2 placed below them. Given Volendam are hot favourites they should get on the scoresheet and with Helmond only 2 places below and scoring in their last 10 away games, I see both sides finding the back of the net here.

0-2 Lost
FC Den Bosch v Cambuur
Den Bosch to score @ 1.80 with BV
Over 5.0 asian goals @ 6.00 with unibet
Cambuur are 9 points clear with 6 to go, so promotion is almost in the bag. I think the pressure is off and this can be a high scoring game. Den Bosch can’t defend and under their new coach De Gier they play attacking football leaving loads of gaps. This could be a tennis score like 1-6 or something like that
Bang on !!
Top class sir
Lack of bookings in the Europa League downs my bets . LOSERS
Well done all winners
Friday tips
Focus is on 2 games today, English championship action from vicarage road and A league action from campbelltown. For my NAP I can’t see past Watford, 9 wins in their last 10 home matches, 8 of which were “to nil” suggests they should have too much against a reading side with only 3 away wins in the same 10 fixtures, all to sides in the lower half of the table. Backed Watford plenty this season and been stung a few times with them not scoring enough goals so it’s straight win for me.
For my NB it’s off to oz where MacArthur take on Brisbane roar. Home men are in good form of late winning 6 of their last 9 games and their last 3 at home by an aggregate of 8-1. They also triumphed 2-0 away to today’s visitors who after a bright start have slumped down the table to 8th from 1st, but being winless in 8 games will do that. Can’t see past the home men in this one and I’m on them straight win for the NB as well as putting together a few other bets for this match. Good luck if you follow any.

Morning lads! I am currently in dispute with Bet 365 over how many throw-ins occurred from the 80th min – End of the Man Utd match last night. After wasting my time on their live chat I have been told if I can provide a link to video evidence then they will pay me out but I can’t find anything online where I can watch the last 14 mins or so? Any suggestions would be gratefully received! Keep up the good work all of you!!
Scratch that comment managed to get the re-run on BT and case settled!
Nice late win last night on Prague goal. Sounds like they deserved it from commentary.
Today’s pick will be a roll over from last night
⚽️ Excelsior v NEC – Over Asian Goal Line 3.0 @ 1.95 – NAP ⚽️
Reasoning – great recent H2H stats and both usually high scorers – both seeing 4+ goals in 38% of games but a little less recently so due to a swing back the other way
Just checked an price is 2.07 on Unibet so definitely taking that

Fulham v Wolves
Not posted in a bit. Had a lot going on personally and not really been able to give it the time needed and not only that….. cant predict the wolves at the moment.
A lot depends on the formation and the team tonight.
Cant call it.
Ill put a bet down at about 7pm once the lineup is announced.
If we play the same back 4 as monday then there will be goals and i can see mitrovic causing us a problem. Coady and Saiss at the centre of a back 4, especially without Jonny is a bloody joke. (WE HAVE TO FIX THIS IN THE SUMMER).
If we persist with 4 at the back tonight then i would be happier to see Max Kilman although he is still apparently mourning the loss of his dad.
I expect Moutinho will return tonight.
I would like to see Fabio Silva start at the expense of Willian Jose. Willian has the ability of a 3 week old piece of toast. Just offers nothing (cue him scoring a hat trick tonight 😂)
Ill see what the lineup is.
We start badly generally and finish with a decent 2nd half so…. Tentatively
Goal in Both Halves at 11/10 has value
Both to score at 10/11 is a good shout
Over 1.5 goals and 10+ booking points each team at 11/10
BTTS, 1+ corner each team each half, and 10+ booking points each team at 7/2 is decent
Hope all OK Rich 👍
Thanks Hull…. Been a tough one. The ex wife has been is hospital with a broken neck and hip so ive had to take some compassionate leave from work and have the kids full time…… love having the girls with me…. been amazing…… works definitely wasie though 🤣🤣🤣
All getting back to normal though.
Missing going up the wolves too 🐺
Works easier even 🤣🤣
Sorry to hear that Rich and glad to hear the missus is on the mend – take care pal!
BOLIVIAN PREMIER LEAGUE 8PM
ROYAL PARI V REAL SANTA CRUZ

ROYAL PARI HT/FT 6/4 (SKY) NB
Haha was that like I got ironic.. haven’t tipped for a while. I am literally Jonah recently… I could tip england to beat San Marino and they would not win at the moment..
Thinking of this 1 tonight just need to wait and see if Mitrovic and Neto both start.
Fulham v Wolves
Over 0.5 Cards Fulham
Mitrovic & Neto at least 1 shot on target
21/20
Watford v Reading
Over 1.5 Goals
Over 2.5 Watford Corners
Over 1.5 Reading Corners
11/20
Just over 2/1 for the Double👌
Been on a bad run on of late hoping for a change in fortunes tonight.
UCD v Bray Wanderers
Over 2.5 goals at 7/10*****(NAP)
Over 3.5 goals at 7/4
Over 4.5 goals at 4/1
Looking at UCD’S stats and these are the goals totals in their last 13 games.4.4,5,4,6,6,4,7,4,4,6,3,8 not to bad.However Brays stats don’t read to good but the last time these two met it was 1-3 to bray wanderers,no reason to think they won’t carry on the goals per game,infact UCD have scored 41 goals in them 13 games so hoping for more of the same at decent prices.
Best of luck

Fulham vs Wolves
Were totally unchanged in line up from monday night.
So expect goals and some defensive blunders from the wolves tonight.
My predictions dont differ from earlier. Theres no particular NAP. I think all the above have a good chance of landing.

NAC Breda got there in the end with a 3-1 win. Had a man and goal advantage after 47 minutes but got pegged back to 1-1, two quick fire goals sealed the win. After going behind after 10 minutes, Volendam equalise on the 48th minute to bring the double up 👌🏼 double picked out for tomorrow already and will post later on 👍🏼 also put up on my Twitter earlier about a goal scorer bet for tomorrow, not an avenue I go down often but felt the price was too good to ignore, feel free to check it out 👍🏼

Cortalua probably need to win to cement a top 8 spot and have to score, and they don’t concede many ☹️.
Boca have no pressure and will finish in the bottom section.
Boca scored in 10 of last 11 away games including scoring at the top 3 in the standings, hulia Magdalena and quindio.
Boca scored in 5 of last 7 h2h here also
Bit of a longshot as won’t be surprised if it ends 1-0 but teams get nervous when they have to win as cortalua showed recently conceding to llaneros who are crap and bottom side Santander at HOME….

Advised tips
Watford to win 5/6 various NAP✅
Macarthur to win 6/4 coral NB❌
No joy with the smaller stakes stuff, shock result saw MacArthur lose 2-1 at home to Brisbane and Derbyshire never got on the scoresheet. Onto tomorrow and there’s 3 games from the A league and I like something from them all so I’ll keep the previews as brief as I can.
🇦🇺 A league
Newcastle jets v Melbourne victory
Clash of the bottom 2 here and a lot at stake, think there could be quite a few cards here and the victory grab more than their share most games, the jets are well known for corners and I’ll be having them to win that market.
Sydney v Melbourne city
Clash of what has been the best 2 teams the past couple of years and while neither are where they want to be right now they are both playing well. Fancy goals in this one. Last meeting a few weeks ago finished 3-2 to city, and while it’s 2 of the best defences in the league on show, I think there’s enough attacking talent on shoe to see both nets bulge.
Adelaide v western Sydney
Again these sides met a few weeks ago and the match finished 3-2, it’s a common theme in h2h where both side have netted in 10 of the last 11, and both have netted in 6 of Adelaides last 7 and 5 of wsw last 6. Could be a game where they cancel each other out but I doubt it.
