Tuesday football tips
Bet of the Day – East Fife to beat Annan @ 6/5
The Scottish League One playoff final sets up a tie between East Fife and Annan and the Fifers look a bet to secure a first-leg advantage.
Dick Campbell’s side missed out on automatic promotion from Scottish League Two only by a single point to Peterhead, but East Fife showed no signs of a hangover from the regular season when downing Edinburgh City 3-0 in the second leg of their playoff semi-final.
The Fifers put in an excellent display at Bayview and that’s no surprise given Campbell’s men lost only two home league games all season.
Annan got the better of Elgin to progress, but the Black and Golds were beaten 2-1 at Galabank on Saturday and Willie Gibson’s men were clinging on towards the end of that tie.
If Elgin are causing Annan major problems, then East Fife should be good enough to pick up a victory at Bayview on Tuesday night.
Longshot of the Day – No goalscorer in Sunderland v Coventry @ 8/1
Sunderland have won seven of their previous eight home playoff matches and the Mackems have a 2-1 lead to protect when Coventry visit to the Stadium of Light.
The Black Cats forged an advantage following two breakaway goals, but Regis Le Bris’ side were probably second best at Coventry Building Society Arena and Sunderland didn’t offer a great deal of attacking intent.
Le Bris’ men registered only three shots on target on Friday, and in fact, there were only six shots on target in the entire game.
Sunderland now have a lead to protect, which could see them go further into their shell, and although Coventry will hope to turn the tie around, goals could be at a premium in the north east.
At 8/1, taking a punt on no goalscorer, which is a bet on the contest finishing 0-0 with the added cover on an own goal, looks a good value play.
Special of the Day – Partick not to score v Livingston @ 11/8
Livingston took the race for the Scottish Championship title to the final day and it was playoff semi-final opponents Partick who beat Livi in the closing contest of the regular season.
However, David Martindale’s men finished 15 points clear of Thistle in the second-tier table and that gap is expected to show on Tuesday night.
Partick registered only one shot and two corners when winning at Almondvale and, while the Maryhill men scored twice against Ayr in the two legs of the playoff quarter finals, those goals came from only four shots on target.
Livingston conceded just 27 goals in 36 Championship matches this season and they can stop Thistle finding the net at Firhill.
