It’s been a trough few weeks for the Pig, so we’ll trot carefully today. 7 picks with modest stakes including some decent value bets. However we’ll keep faith with most of our favoured selections.
First, I’m sticking with Queens Park to get this shoat on the road. Even at this early stage in the season, they need to start backing up the investment or pressure will mount. Stranraer never an easy place to go but they are on a bit of a downward trend and are choosing to stick with most of the team who took them there. Staying on second division with another popular pig selection, we will persist with Stirling Albion at home. It’s a similar story to above, Stirling have made a somewhat sticky start but need to show their metal if they are to become serious contenders. Their opponents are a bit of an unknown and very unpredictable but with Stirlings set up we’ll take our chances on them kick starting their season.
To complete the tasty treble – Airdrie at home. Remains to be seen if Ian Murray can get the team firing consistently but he has the players who should be beating Dumbarton. In the opposite dugout, Jim Duffy is a proven respectd coach so they wil be competitve, but with a light squad up against a full time outfit they have a tough task.
Have some higher priced picks to select from to boost the coffers; Most interesting one for a 4 fold is Motherwell – they seem to be way to high to me. I was happy to get them at 5/2, but they have now drifted out to 3/1. Am I missing something? I don’t think Livi deserve to be such hot favourites against a team who went to Aberdeen and Hibs and dominated. Also in Premiership, that’s 2 weeks running that Dundee Utd have been absolutely pummelled 0-0, I’m going to see if Lady Luck shines a little better on us this week by betting against them again. Ross County are not the strongest of opposition but 11/4 is worth a chance.
Likewise in League 1, Cove Rangers have started impressively but they seem to be a bit overcooked, and you can get Partick at 11/4 to win with a far stronger squad if McCall can get them going.
And for seventh heaven, we tentatively throw in a speculative stake on Cowdenbeath at home, who are showing potential snouts of growth.
Good luck folks!
