I for one am pleased the festive fixtures are over as we get back to normality after what was a pretty tough set of results over the lest few weeks.
The Scottish Premiership is shutdown for the winter break so the Champiosnhip takes centre stage along with League One and Two.
Premiership bound Dundee United travel to Dumfries to play a rejuvenated QoS side, and in League one promotion chasing Airdrie host Peterhead.
QoS vs Dundee United
If you said to United manager Robbie Neilson that they would go into 2020, 16 points clear, he would have laughed at you but that’s exactly where they find themselves after a scintillating first half to the season.
Never can I remember a Scottish league being over by Christmas and its really jut a case of United showing their professionalism with the league all but won.
Their 1-1 draw with city rivals Dundee last Friday ended their 9 game winning streak and Saturday see’s them return to the location of their last defeat and worst performance of the season as they were turned over 4-0 by the Dumfries side.
QoS have collected three wins from their last 4, propelling them up the league and they can have genuine play off aspirations as we move into the second half of the season
6 of their last 7 games have seen over 2.5 goals and with United boasting Shankland and Clark and QoS’s talisman striker Steven Dobbie back amongst the goals, this should be an entertaining game.
No reason why the hosts cant get on the scoresheet and if they do it sets us up nicely for over 2.5 goals against a side head and shoulders above every other team in the league.
Recommended Bet:
- Over 2.5 goals
- 9/10 (Marathon Bet) (NAP)
Airdrie vs Falkirk (KO 3pm)
Second top host second bottom as Airdrie will be looking to stay in touch at the top of the league against a Forfar side who look like they are in for a relegation battle.
One things is for sure, there are no shortage of goals in Airdrie home games with them very rarely keeping a clean sheet. They’ve kept just one clean sheet in their last 9 at home.
Forfar have seen 17 goals in their last 3 games (8 scored 9 conceded) and you have to feel for them as they now face the leagues top three sides in their next three games.
Dale Carrick and Callum Gallagher have been banging the goals in for Airdrie and will be licking their lips at the prospect of playing against this leaky Forfar defence.
Recommended Bet:
- Over 2.5 goals
- 4/5 (Skybet)
Chesterfield vs Sutton United (KO 3pm)
Few clubs in the country have had a better festive period than Sutton United, 4 wins from 4 has moved them away from the relegation places and has moved them to within touching distance of the play offs.
3-2 0-2 3-2 6-2 wins with 14 goals scored is a fabulous return and they travel to struggling Chesterfield side who lie just three points off bottom spot
Chesterfield have seen 5 of their last 6 at home go over 2.5 goals and with 10 of their last 12 matches seeing three or more goals, Sutton will fancy their chances of making it 5 wins on the spin
Recommended Bet:
- Over 2.5 goals
- 1/1 (Sporting bet)
