Albion v Falkirk, League Cup
Falkirk, 2 points

Prices vary; anything from 4/7 to 2/5. I know next to nothing about the Scottish leagues, but First Division Falkirk would normally be favourites anyway against Albion, who are bookies' favourites for the drop from Division Two. According to the preview on the Scottish Football League side Albion are sugffering an injury crisis, and their message board seems to confirm that they could be particularly light in defence. Four players are definately out, another is doubtful, and it looks as if the reserve goalkeeper may be given a game.

Falkirk look to be at near full strength.

Finding out anytihng about the Albion players has been a struggle and I can't be sure the missing players are first teamers. However, the Albion message board seems to confirm a particularly understaffed defence and to be downbeat about the team's chances.

just a thought,but with st johnstone still showing no signs of having cured their appalling scoring record,would it not be better value to back rangers:

2-0 with savers on 1-0,3-0 and a v small saver on 4-0? the odds on betfair look good enough to me
(the 4-0 would be done with a bookie as you no doubt know).

on t'other hand,now that ive mentioned it,st johnstone are nailed on to score innit!?

[hotspur]

also,out of sheer curiosty,would I be right to assume that the ratings(on killie)do not take into account the fact that they have lost some key players?

Nice one if you went for it. I watched the game on the box and thought 2-0 looked about right.

One more for me - Ross County to beat Queen's Park, for the same reason as Falkirk to beat Albion - an injury crisis in the away team's ranks. Ross will (apparently) be without their first choice strikers, but I assume they'll be better able to live without two players than a smaller QP squad can live without half a dozen. Just a small interest one unit bet of 1/6 on DNB (SkyBet) as I suspect the value ain't there.

I wish I'd combined my Ross and Falkirk punts into a double now

[hotspur]

thanks,I sure did do it.
I actually think the spl is easily the most predictable league in europe.....though of course you still need to get the prices...

good luck

Hearts vs Dundee United
Dundee United seem the value pick in this match at 3/1, My ratings suggest prices over 3.15 are value

Both looked a bit dodgey at one stage, and a sending off helped! Only small profit, but a win's a win.
