ALL FREE FOOTBALL TIPS

It’s Cup weekend north and south of the border so that can only mean one thing – Goals Galore.

Teams will be going all out to make it to the next round so hopefully we can expect some open games and plenty of goals hitting the back of the net.

Here are my top tips for games where both teams will score;

Newcastle v Blackburn

One of the outstanding all-Premier League ties of the third round sees on-song Newcastle host a free-scoring Blackburn side.

Although bottom of the league Rovers have scored 29 goals this season, more than Liverpool and anyone else in the bottom half of the table so they’re always good for a goal.

Newcastle proved on Wednesday just how deadly they can be in front of goal, especially Demba Ba who is on fire.

I expect both teams will field relatively strong sides so goals could be on the cards.

• Both teams to score is 5/6 with Ladbrokes.

Fleetwood v Blackpool

The localest of local derbies this weekend is at Conference club Fleetwood who host near-neighbours Blackpool in what should be a passionate affair.

Some think this could be where the upset of the round comes from and with Fleetwood in fine form they’ll fancy their chances against their more-illustrious opponents. Fleetwood are current second in the Blue Sq Conference but notably are top scorers with 57 in 26, over 2 per game. They’re also unbeaten in their last 5 and have lost just once at home in the league.

Last season followers of the Both Teams to Score Market had Blackpool marked down week in week out. This season they’ve not been quite so entertaining but you’d expect they’ll breach the Conference side’s defence at least once due to their greater quality.

• Back both teams to score at 8/11 with Ladbrokes.

Peterborough v Sunderland (Sunday)

Martin O’Neill may be tempted to rest a few players in favour of picking up Premier League points in their upcoming fixtures but he’ll not want to derail the momentum that he’s built since arriving at the Stadium of Light so I think the Black Cats will be well up for this one.

Their opponents too will also see this as a chance to claim a Premier League scalp so it should make for a good cup tie.

As far as goals are concerned the signals are good. Peterborough have scored in each of their last 17 matches – quite a record and at home they’ve failed to find the target just once in 12 league matches, keeping just one clean sheet in that time too. 44 scored versus 41 conceded make them the most entertaining to watch in the Championship.

Sadly the same can’t be said for Sunderland but under O’Neill they’ve looked a different animal. 4 goals away to Wigan in midweek will have boosted their confidence as will picking up 13 points from 18 since O’Neill’s arrival. Away to lower league opposition could be tricky but they’ve at least got a goal in them.

• Back both teams to score at 4/6 with Ladbrokes

Airdrie v Dundee Utd

Finally in Scotland look out for goals when 2nd Division Airdrie welcome SPL side Dundee Utd.

The Diamonds have been prolific in front of goal and equally profligate in defence this season, scoring 44 and losing 40 in just 19 league games, that’s an average of over 4 goals scored in each of their games. At home they’ll put up a decent fight against United.

The Terrors are in a bit of a slump at the moment and I’d be more concerned about them scoring in this one than Airdrie, however they have netted in their last 5 matches  and failed to score in just one away league match all season so the signs are good that they’ll find the net in this one.

• Back both teams to score at 4/6 with Coral.

Accumulator
