Expect the Brewers and Shrimps to come up trumps for Saturday’s football tips

After studying the Division 2 fixtures this weekend it looks like the majority of matches could be victories for the home sides with the exception of Shrewsbury who have a tricky tie against table toppers Rochdale. The Shrews have dropped off the pace recently and I fancy Rochdale to come away with at least a draw.

Burton entertain Cheltenham at the Pirelli, and following a great win at Aldershot last weekend the boys are full of confidence going into today’s clash

Grimsby was a coupon buster last weekend with their emphatic home win against Shrewsbury but they will find it tough at Morecambe who still have an outside chance of a play-off spot.

A £20 double on Burton and Morecambe pays £67.50 with Coral.

For this weeks long shot I’m looking for Port Vale to come away with at least a draw at Chesterfield.
The Valliant’s have a great defensive record away from home, only conceding 17 goals.

The draw is best priced 13/5 with Skybet

Good luck fellow punters !

Value Tips for this weekend’s League Two Action

Those who followed my advice last week were rewarded with a nice double, we also looked like collecting on my longshot until a late stoppage time own goal at Plainmoor. I have a cracking longshot this week to hopefully recoup our losses.

The majority of this weeks League 2 matches look to be tight affairs except Rochdale v Lincoln. The Dale will be full of confidence after the mid week demolition of Rotherham but there will be no value in the price.

Notts County travel to Accrington which is never easy but with top goalscorer Lee Hughes back fron suspension I expect them to come out on top by the odd goal.
Notts County came to Burton over the Christmas period and they always looked a threat on the counter attack with Lee Hughes playing on the shoulder of the last defender..
Notts County to win is best priced 6/4 with Coral

Back them in a single and also in a double with Crewe who have a home fixture with Barnet.

Barnet have a young squad and will find it tough to cope with the passing and movement of an improving Crewe side.
Crewe are best priced 10/11 with Ladbrokes

This weeks longshot is in the hands of Morecambe who make the long journey south to Bournemouth.

Bournemouth have picked up a few injuries of late and already have a small squad. Although they are at the right end of the table I think they have been punching above their weight this season so don’t be surprised to see Sammy Mcllroy’s men come away with all 3 points.

Morecambe best priced 7/2 with Skybet

Good luck

Weekend Football tips points to home banker double for Bradford and Northampton

Betting Directory are delighted to welcome good friend of the site (and Tom), ex-professional footballer and current coach at Burton Albion, Mark Sale, back to the ranks to provide an insightful look in to the weekend’s football. Here is what he has to say ahead of this weekend’s action.

With having a lengthy break from the website, I’ve had plenty of time to see the majority of teams play in the Coca-Cola league 2 this season.

My team Burton have had settled in well to league football and we are only 2 points of a play-off place going in to tomorrows tricky clash with promotion hopefuls Rotherham.

Looking at the other ties Bradford look good value to collect 3 points against a struggling Darlington side. Bradford surprised a few last week with a great result at Rochdale and I think they will continue that form under the guidance of newly appointed manager Peter Taylor.

Put them in a double with Northampton who play Cheltenham. The Cobblers have been in good form of late but were unlucky in the defeat at Crewe last week. I expect them to bounce back tomorrow.

Double on Bradfordand Northampton pays around 2/1 with several bookmakers.

I hope to seal my return with a good priced Saley’s Longshot.

I can’t see many shock results in League 2 this weekend but I fancy Accrington to get a draw at Torquay.
Best priced 5/2 with Ladbrokes.

Good Luck

What a Weekend in store at Newbury – tips available now

Denman is red hot favourite for the Hennessy but I'm opposing him!

A nigh on perfect weekend of sport lies in wait for armchair punters, with two fantastic days racing at Newbury, Newcastle’s Fighting Fifth, a typically strong Hatton’s Grace card at Fairyhouse, plus a mid-table scouse derby, the pivotal top of the table Arsenal v Chelsea game and the small matter of ‘el derbi superclasico’ over in Spain.

I can just picture my great mate Lord Culcheth parked on the sofa glugging his Liebfraumilch from a pint glass, Betfair fired up on his laptop, the 42 inch stolen plasma screen belting out Sky Sports or some obscure hooky Greek satellite channel, mobile at the ready, smug grin on his face as he snuggles up to some leathery old cougar he met while prowling the coat queue or the burger van at 4am that morning, dreaming of a trip to Andalucia with the profits of his punting.

Blue is the colour for Hiddink in Next Chelsea Manager Betting

Readers could do worse than have a small bet on popular coach Guus Hiddink remaining at Stamford Bridge beyond the end of this season, despite his protestations to the contrary.

The board, the fans and the players are all desperate for him to remain in the Chelsea dugout regardless of how they fare in the FA
Cup Final and Champions League semi, and sources at the club are suggesting it might not be such a lost cause as we’re being lead to believe.

Anyone who can teach Didier Drogba to stay on his feet is alright in my book and besides, where would you rather spend a winter’s day on training pitch, leafy Cobham or freezing Vladivostock?

Back Hiddink to be the next permanent Chelsea boss at around 8/1 on Betfair.

Clean up by opposing Bath in tonight’s football

The pick of tonight’s bets lurks way down the sporting pyramid in football’s Conference South. Take 6/5 with Bluesq or Skybet about Welling United to win away at Bath.

Sources suggest that Bath are set to field their ‘under 11s’ and will struggle.

Sink your teeth into Hamburg at even money‏ in Uefa Cup

Spurs fans must shake their heads and wonder what on earth their club’s management were up to when they chose to fire likeable Dutchman Martin Jol, and they get another chance to see what they’re missing tonight as Jol leads his Hamburg side into a UEFA Cup Quarter Final first leg against Manchester City.

The German outfit sit joint top of the Bundesliga with a cracking home record, and Saturday’s 1-0 home win against fellow title challengers Hoffenheim sees them approaching this match in great heart, despite some injury problems that need to be overcome.

Standing in their way are a jekyll & hyde City side who offered nothing against Arsenal last weekend, and may have to contend with the sight of skipper Richard Dunne wolfing down a morale boosting stein of lager and a bratwurst at half time.

Back Hamburg to establish a first leg lead at evens with any of Bet365, Boylesports, Paddy Power or William Hill.

Weekend Non League Football Betting Tips

As we enter the final straigth in the Blue Squar Premier, it’s getting tight at both ends of the table. In the relegation battle, Forest Green need a couple of more wins to ensure safety and three more points should be on the cards today against already relegated Lewes.I suggest backing them in a double with Kettering who still harbour ambitions of a Play Off place. The best odds on the double are with Victor Chandler, where you can get 23/10.

To continue my good run of form with the longshots, I fancy Oxford to get at least a point at Stevenage and the away win at 9/4 is worth a punt with a saver on the draw, also 9/4 (both with Betfred)

Good Luck,
Mark Sale

Bronze can take gold as the tip for the Lingfield Winter Derby‏

He might have a few pounds to make up on the official figures but John Gosden’s Bronze Cannon can make the frame for us at 7/1 (general) in the sportingbet.com Winter Derby on Saturday afternoon (3.05pm).

Twice a winner on Kempton’s artificial surface the four year old has had a nice break since a slightly disappointing run at Lingfield in November, when he got squeezed up and lost ground at a vital stage in the listed Churchill Stakes, and with Ryan Moore booked he can certainly put his best foot forward here.

Before that Lingfield run he was seen to good effect when third at Newmarket, (the second horse that day Kirkless has subsequently been out in Dubai winning a handicap and finishing in the money twice in Group 3 company) and was positively thriving last Spring when twice a winner at HQ.

At that stage he held both Dante and Derby entries, and although this might be a more realistic level, he is undoubtedly viewed with high regard by his top stable.

Importantly we know he’ll stay Lingfield’s sharp 10 furlongs standing on his head, a statement which cannot be applied to hot favourite Premio Loco, who still has to prove he can handle the step up in trip, although he is a full brother to a mile and a half winner.

With that in mind I’d far rather be taking three times the price about Bronze Cannon. Back him each way at 7/1 with any of Bet 365, Totesport or Coral Bookmakers.

Good luck!
Tom

Stevenage and Cambridge make appeal for weekend football double

The weekend tip from non league football epxert and Burton Albion assistant manger Mark Sale this weekend is for Stevenage and Cambridge both to win at combined odds of just over 3/1 with Skybet.

He also fancies Torquay to get a win away Oxford as his longshot and that can be backed at 23/10 with Ladbrokes
