With the Premiership sides getting up to speed, the chances of shocks in the League Cup group stage get smaller with each passing game.
But plenty of big clubs know one more slip-up in the final two rounds of fixtures could end up costing them a place in the tournament's knockout stages.
Livingston look like the top-flight club at the biggest risk tonight as they visit a Cove Rangers side who have won both their games, scoring five times in the process.
The Lions only sit third in Group C after losing on penalties to leaders Hamilton following a 1-1 draw.
We’ve sent plenty of goals with both sides so far and combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays evens in a McBookie bet builder.
St Johnstone and St Mirren suffered shock defeats on day one but responded well by claiming 4-0 victories at the weekend.
New Buddies signing Stav Nachmani scored a debut double off the bench on Saturday and is 5/6 at McBookie for another goal tonight.
I also like the 20/21 at Coral on St Mirren to be winning at half-time and full-time.
St Johnstone are at home to Championship side Ayr and I will bet against BTTS in this one (13/10, BetVictor).
Kelty Hearts could have unearthed a gem in Tiwi Daramola, who has started the season with three goals in two games.
The 21-year-old is 11/8 at McBookie for another goal tonight at home to Stranraer and that looks good value.
The Women’s World Cup finally sparked into life yesterday as Germany hit six and Brazil scored four to bring up one of our super singles.
The fixtures aren’t that glamorous today and I’m steering clear of the first two as they kick off at 3am and 6.30am.
That leaves us with Switzerland v Norway in Group A and the Norwegians need to go for a win after losing their opener to New Zealand.
You can back Norway at 6/5 (Bet365) and that could be decent value, given they sit eight places above the Swiss in the FIFA rankings.
I’d expect a tight game and the half-time draw could also pay off at evens with William Hill.

Racing Tips
Just the one selection from Rizzel for Tuesday's action, coming in the 3:40 pm race at Musselburgh.
As always, let us know your best betting tips and predictions for today in the comments section below and good luck with all your bets!
In December 2020 we sadly 
Thought I’d share my daily double with you today this is a maximum staked bet 10 points on the nose Viking 6pm UK time and Boavista FC 8.15pm UK time. Boavista will have a decent side out tonight which I know from someone connected to the club their opposition have injuries to msin playmaker and 2 centre forwards are injured. Viking are full strength looking at their team, opposition have a few youngsters playing due to a virus this week in camp. Odds 1.06 skybet 10 point win 🏆 ✌🏿
❌❌❌ Disaster. Boavista had the chance to take top spot. Lacklustre performance unfortunately. Viking won easy in Norway.
POT -10 point ( Which equates to a £1 loss)
Thought you’d gone, replied to your posts on the Monday thread,bye pro gambler😆, remember to sack the source 💩while your at it👍
Can I just clarify… -10 points (Which equates to a £1 loss)
So each of your points = 10p
Is that right?
No it’s not, that was just a joke to the guy having a laugh. I bet £25 a point but bet what you can afford to lose if you are following tips
I’m not…but thanks for your answer
Don’t blame you he’s more useless than me, trust me that is nowt to he proud of, considering he was giving up I think he’s a bit of a fruit loop kf,the lights are on but no one is in or a bungalow-theres no upstairs if you get my drift
Early morning play in the women’s game, Philippines have set up as expected with Barker and Harrison playing as the marauding wing backs. Really see them opening New Zeland up they are both speedy types can see them getting a few balls into the box which could, and should , lead to corners. Skybet have 3+ for Philippines at 5-4 which , imo, looks fair and worth a point play
Philippines 3+ corners 5/4 1 point win
Pot -11 points
🥱,bet your fun on a night out
Mincemeat again unfortunately on this one. They are just sitting back defending their lead. Really liked their chances today got on in play at -1 for 0.5 points but obviously won’t add that to the points. Back with a few plays later tonight 🦸🏾♂️

Cause you did,very irritating when people say I did this and I did that🥱,well post it then,infarct don’t Mr big spender,No one is interested,your will power is absolute Zero👎

Over 5 corners for New Zealand
Over 1 goals for New Zealand

Long Shot
– Own goal in the game
10/1
New Zealand clocked up 8 corners against Norway and were the better side. Phillippines put up a valiant effort against Switzerland but the joint hosts know this is the game to see them through and they should dominate and get a positive result.
Switzerland w Vs Norway w
o1.5 mg’s

Goodluck……….
Corners part sailed in goals part not so much 👎
Zrinjski Mostar entertain Slovan Bratislava tonight in a repeat of a Conference League qualifier from last season in which there was a red card in both legs and 14 yellows over the tie. Decent ref tonight in Belgiums Bram Van Driessche who had a spell last season where he dished out 5 reds in 8 matches
Zrinjski Mostar v Slovan Bratislava
Red card in the match 4/1
Damn this looks juicy nice reasoning

For an interest this morning with a lack of games in Oz & Asia…..no had a single bet at the womens WC but gonna have a wee play on the Swiss to collect most corners. No gonna lie & say its a strong fancy but Norway lost the corner count 8-2 to New Zealand in their opener so perhaps the Norwegians like Mjjalby last night dont earn many corners with their style….
Switzerland W most match corners 7/5
Longshot
Switzerland Women To Win, Norway Women Most Cards & Switzerland Women Most Corners 25/1
And thats why i dont bet on womens football,be aswell betting on 2 flys racing up the bathroom wall…lesson learned 😂

Ante Post, English Championship.
Middlesboro, Top 6 finish 11/10 .
Michael Carrick came into this post midway throo last season when they were 3 rd bottom and he guided them to a 3rd place at the end of the season, so he clearly has the tactical/managerial ability
On the strength he has had a full pre season to get them into shape , i think this is a cracking bet.
Will probably have a wee dabble on the outrights as well
Might be worth waiting on Chuba Akpom contract situation first mate. 28 goals last season clubs be looking at him only 12 months remaining on his contract they could sell if he doesn’t sign. Backed Boro last season they were the exact same price for top 6, only Championship bet Ive done in about 5 year. Always hard to call…
Forgot to mention Cameron Archer will be a big miss as well he went back to Villa from his loan spell he looked real quality will be a top player in a few seasons
Hi mate, seem to remember you, the master and old Al did some great ante-post picks last season. Cant remember who it was did the Scottish leagues…was it you. If so, what are your picks this time round? Cheers
For what it’s worth, got same bet on my sort list boabee.
Short list
Will you be putting selections up Old Al…always look out for your ante-post. Cheers
As well as Middlesborough it will also include Barnsley in league 1 kf
Cheers Al…
Thanks @Stu085 – means a lot :)
As a long time follower of the page i’ve always liked the community feel :)
I decided to give the Women’s WC a miss this morning, but as a Scottish football fan – won’t say what team ;) – I should have a bet or two on the League Cup, maybe also something for the European qualifiers.
goodluck with everyones bets today!
@kf, in the Scottish Championship altho the Dunfermline fans are complaining about their lack of additions to the squad , i think they are a great bet at 10/1 each way 1/5 odds 1, 2, 3
this is a club with Premier League Mindset and their current manager James McPhate kept Dundee in the Premier for a while, so he knows what it takes at a similar level…
League 1, me thinks Falkirk finally will get themselves promoted after a few near misses @ 9/4
very similar dynamics to Dunfermline a very ambitious club with a great history given their provincial status and if they do get going they will carry a big support given the level they are competing in..
Cheers @boabee8867
My tennis plays for today.
L Musetti -4.5 Games v E Ymer 1.73, Pinnacle (NAP)
Musetti is the defending champion here this week in Hamburg and should be far too good for Elias Ymer. The 186 ranked player has been struggling to string any sort of consistent results together for quite some time now. Despite losing last week to Ruud in the Semi Final in Bastad, Musetti was playing some really good tennis. With points to defend this week he will be highly motivated to get off to a strong start and should win with relative ease.
A Rus -3.5 Games v M Timofeeva 1.75, Pinnacle (NB)
Despite losing in qualifying last week Timofeeva turned it around and won Budapest. She played some great tennis but some really long matches (five 3 set matches) which could really have an impact here. It’s a very quick turnaround and she is playing against a player in Rus who has lost just once on clay since May. During that period Rus has won 3 tournaments in a row including a 15 match winning run before she lost in a tight 3 set battle to eventual runner up Paolini in Palermo. Rus will be the fresher player here and the lefty will play her usual aggressive tennis. I am expecting a post title hangover here for Timofeeva and a win for Rus. I was tempted by the 4.5 game handicap at bigger odds but have opted for the slightly lower line.
B Nakashima to win 2-0 v M Purcell 1.83, Bet365
I sided against Purcell last week when he lost to Brouwer and I will do the same again here. He has been poor since May and was easily beaten last week on grass. There are also rumours he has been playing with a fractured foot for a while which is one of the main reasons I went against him in Newport. He now transitions to a fast hard court in very humid conditions against Nakashima who he has already lost to 6-3 6-3 last year. During that match Purcell was regularly under pressure on serve and I see the same happening here as well. I was tempted by the –3.5 games but have opted for the straight sets win just in case one of the sets, possibly the first, is a little tighter than expected. Both should hit though.
S Wawrinka -3.5 Games v F Misolic 1.95, Pinnacle
I picked Wawrinka last week in Gstaad in his poor loss to Munar but willing to give him another chance here. On a slow clay court in Umag he should have far too much power for Misolic. As long as Wawrinka keeps the errors down this should be a comfortable win for the Swiss.
Good luck everyone today with your bets.
Well gents, surgery was a success. I’m still full of more drugs than Jonnny Depp, but the tumour, all 9cms of it, was removed from my colon. Probably gonna be chemo to come, but couldn’t have gone better – and no stoma either. Thanks for all the messages of support in recent weeks m, meant a lot.
Excellent news mate. Really good to hear the op went well and best of wishes in your recovery.
Told you it would be fine mate 👍
Excellent news, and now’s the time to think “balls to the world!” – the ONLY thing that matters is your recovery, so take it easy and just ignore all the minor stresses of life.
Events like this really do make you appreciate the things that really matter 😉
Congrats on d successful surgery and now get well soon.
Great news mate!
Ideal mate, glad to hear it
Good to hear pal – take care 👍👍
Great news master, now take it easy and follow doctors orders and you’ll be doing marathons in no time
Thanks for letting us know Master, was wondering yesterday how you were going on, great news.

Anyone know what sort of team Finn harps are sending to cliftonville for tonight’s friendly ?.
If it’s a strong team what is the gulf between the sides as there is a big price on Finn harps scoring 🇮🇪
Hopefully you didn’t go with this in the end . I support cliftonville and we won 5-0
Its all about the second legs for the bigger sides tonight, that’s more than likely where the goals will be.
No joy again yesterday, lack of 1st half goals costing me with the corners in Brazil coming in.
🏴 Kelty Hearts v Stranraer 🏴
-Over 2 Match Goals

▪️1.34/1, bet365
❗️All five league cup group stage games for both sides (two for Kelty, three for Stranraer) have seen at least three goals.
❗️Both Kelty Hearts games saw eleven corners, in Stranraer’s three games there have not been any less than nine.
Out of interest lad as i dont have an online account to price it up….
