Another profitable weekend for the column with both bets selected coming in. The double of Man Utd HT -FT and Everton outright win returned £35 on a £10 stake.  Our guest punter was unlucky, with only Man City letting him down in his 4 timer.

On to this midweek……

Side stepping the main event of the Champions League, I have cast my eye upon the less glamorous clubs of the Championship for the main bet. It is the FA Cup Quarter Finals at the weekend and there are four non prem teams in left in, with all 4 playing midweek. Taking that into account, I am of the belief that the players for these teams will not want to get injured for the big games they have on Saturday or Sunday, and therefore will not be going all out this Tuesday or Wednesday night. Hence i have taken……

Blackpool to beat Barnsley = 5-6 @ William Hills

The Seasides are in form at the moment, unbeaten in 6 at home in the league (4-2-0), while Saturdays win at Norwich was a further confidence booster. The form of the re-born Paul Dickov has played a huge part, the diminutive Scot has 5 in 5 and is set to return after a bout of sickness at the weekend. Barnsley meanwhile haven’t won in 5 league games and are goalless in the last 4. Previous to their trip to Anfield they were soundly beaten 3-0 at Plymouth in the midweek (though they were down to 10 from the 4th minute). These two sides met in the the FA Cup 3rd round where The Tykes won 2-1, the same scoreline as the league game, but i think the scores will be reversed at Bloomfield Road on Tuesday due to the impending Chelsea fixture.

Crystal Palace to beat Cardiff 11-10 @ William Hills

The Eagles have hit the wall of late, but manager Neil Warnock described their win at Preston as one of their best performances of the season. They face a Cardiff side who will have one eye on the potential scalp of  ‘Boro in the cup on Sunday, and whom are win-less in 5; can anyone see a pattern here? Dave Jones has warned against his side doing exactly what were expecting them, and by going public, he knows that it could well happen. Palace can jump back into  play-off contention here and i expect it to happen.

The Double is 2.85-1

N.B Look out for Doncaster and Sheff Wed’s results who face Bristol Rovers and West Brom respectively. A bit more risky, but they could well come in.

Top up the bet with Barca, Man Utd and Chelsea at home in the Champions League for a 7-1 five timer.

Good Luck.
