Touchwood1988
Big fan of both flat and jump racing. Love to try and find a big price sleeper in handicaps. Not afraid to back a short priced jolly but with bookies paying extra places in many events there's usually value to be found at tasty odds

Touchwood1988's Tips History
05 August 2025
19:45 Accrington Stanley v Oldham
Oldham
Both of these teams drew on the opening day of the season, but preference is for an away win in this Lancashire derby. Oldham were impressive at promotion favourites MK Dons and can land a first win since promotion back to the Football League in the League Cup tonight.
19:45 Nottm Forest v Fiorentina
Fiorentina
50 WIN
@3.10
Lose
-50
Nottingham Forest have scored just one goal in their pre-season friendlies and could be vulnerable tonight against Fiorentina, who will be looking to bounce back from a poor performance at Leicester at the weekend.
19:45 Rangers v Viktoria Plzen
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
Rangers have scored in all three competitive games so far this season, including in both legs of the previous round. Plzen have scored nine times in four games in all competitions, including three at Servette to overturn a one-goal deficit in the previous round. Both teams should get chances in what should be a close game, making BTTS a decent bet at 4/5.
19:00 Dynamo Kyiv v Pafos FC
Dynamo Kyiv
Dynamo Kyiv have won three games in all competitions without conceding a goal. With home advantage, they should be able to extend that good run against Pafos, who sneaked through 2-1 on aggregate, having played against ten men for an hour in the second leg against Tel Aviv.
18:00 Malmo FF v FC Copenhagen
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
Both of these teams have been in good form in their domestic leagues, winning their last three games. They have shared fifteen goals in those games, and this should be an open and entertaining game, making 'Both Teams to Score' a tempting bet at evens.

20:00 Hearts v Aberdeen
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
These two teams met four times last season, with both teams scoring on three occasions. Hearts were in impressive form in the League Cup, scoring sixteen goals in their four matches, while Aberdeen were among the goals in both of their pre-season friendlies. It should be an open and entertaining game with chances at both ends, making BTTS a decent bet at a shade of odds on.
Lawrence Shankland
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@4.50
Lose
-50
Lawrence Shankland had two prolific seasons before a disappointing return of just eight goals last term. He looked to be in much better form, scoring three goals in three games in the recent League Cup group stage. A likely penalty taker, he looks a decent bet to open the scoring tonight at 7/2.
19:00 NK Varazdin v HNK Gorica
Draw
50 WIN
@3.60
Win
130
Four of the last five games in all competitions between these two teams have ended in draws. As they meet this season in the opening round of games, another stalemate looks like a tempting bet at 13/5.
18:00 IFK Goteborg v Degerfors
IFK Goteborg
Goteborg have been inconsistent this season, winning eight and losing eight games. One of those wins was in the reverse fixture at Degerfors. With home advantage, they can complete the double against tonight's opponents, who are without a win in their last eight games.
17:00 HJK Helsinki v FC Inter
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
These two teams have shared an impressive seventy-five goals between them in their seventeen games each so far this season. This should be an open and entertaining game with plenty of chances at both ends, making BTTS a decent bet even at odds on.
16:00 FC Ilves v IF Gnistan
FC Ilves
Ilves are currently in second place and are unbeaten in the last five games, winning four of them. With home advantage, they can extend that good run against Gnistan, who have won just once in their last five.

15:00 AGF Aarhus v Midtjylland
Midtjylland
Midtjylland have taken four points from the opening two games, scoring an impressive nine goals along the way. At 9/5, they look a value bet to take the points against hosts Aarhus, who are without a win and have scored just two goals so far this season.

Bodo/Glimt
Bodø/Glimt have won all of the last five games and look capable of extending that excellent form against their hosts, HamKam, who are down in fourteenth place, having won just once in the last five.
13:00 BK Hacken v Elfsborg
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
These two teams have shared fifty-six goals between them so far this season but have conceded almost the same amount along the way. There should be plenty of chances at both ends today, making BTTS a decent bet even at odds on.
13:00 Randers FC v Silkeborg IF
Randers FC
Randers have taken four points from their opening two games. With home advantage, they look a value bet at evens to take the three points today against Silkeborg, who have lost both games so far without scoring a goal.

Ryan Moore taking the ride is an obvious positive.

15:00 Bristol Rovers v Harrogate Town
Bristol Rovers
Relegated last season, Bristol Rovers have had an encouraging pre-season, winning four of their six games. With home advantage, they can get the new season off to a winning start against today's visitors, Harrogate, who finished down in eighteenth place last term.
15:00 East Kilbride v Spartans FC
East Kilbride
East Kilbride had an encouraging time in the group stage of the League Cup with two wins and a draw from their four games. With home advantage, they can get their first season in the Scottish League off to a winning start against Spartans, who lost both away games in the League Cup without scoring a goal.
15:00 Grimsby v Crawley Town
Grimsby
A late season slump cost Grimsby a playoff place last season. But with home advantage, they can get another promotion run off to a winning start against Crawley, who have endured a difficult off-season off the pitch after relegation from League One last season.
