Friday football tips
Bet of the Day – Livingston to beat Partick (90 minutes) @ 8/11
Livingston hold a 2-0 lead on Partick when the pair head for Almondvale for the second leg of the Scottish Premiership play-off semi-final and that doesn’t look to be where the advantages end for Livi.
David Martindale’s men are playing only their second match in 14 days, while Thistle will be in action for the fourth time in 10 days.
There is no doubt that Partick are feeling the effects of their gruelling schedule and it’s a big ask for 37-year-old forward Brian Graham to continue to deliver in such quick succession.
Livingston will also have the advantage of their artificial surface on Friday night, and this is a Livi side, which conceded only nine goals and lost just two regular season matches at Almondvale.
Martindale’s men are in prime position on Friday night, and with Thistle forced to chase the game, Livingston look a good play at 8/11.
Longshot of the Day – Aston Villa to beat Tottenham 4-0 @ 14/1
It’s challenging to see anything but a heavy defeat for Tottenham when they head to Aston Villa on Friday night, and this looks a spot to play some big-priced correct scores.
Spurs have lost 20 of their 36 Premier League matches this season, the north Londoners are down in 17th place and it’s one win in 10 top-flight matches for Ange Postecoglou’s men.
That run includes a 5-1 loss at Liverpool and a 4-2 defeat at Wolves.
Postecoglou’s men were beaten 2-0 at home by Crystal Palace last time out, in a fixture which yielded expected goals figures of 0.68 v 3.39.
All eyes will be on the Europa League final for Spurs, which makes it even tougher to fancy the Lilywhites and it would be no surprise if Tottenham were crushed at Villa Park.
At 14/1, backing Aston Villa to win 4-0 makes most appeal and scores of 3-0, 3-1 and 4-1 can also be considered.
Special of the Day – Enzo Fernandez to score first @ 37/4
Manchester United’s domestic form is akin to Spurs’ and it is seven Premier League matches without a victory for the Red Devils.
Ruben Amorim’s men were beaten 2-0 by struggling West Ham at Old Trafford in their latest league contest and are almost impossible to fancy at Chelsea.
The Blues are pushing for a top-five finish and Enzo Fernandez has been the West Londoners’ driving force in recent weeks.
The Argentine has contributed six goals and seven assists in 34 Premier League appearances this term and the 24-year-old has benefitted from a more forward-thinking role.
United’s focus will be on the Europa League on Friday night and Fernandez looks a good bet to open the scoring.
