ARBROATH v Queen of the South on Easter weekend had the look of a relegation six-pointer when the Championship fixture list was drawn up.
But it says everything about the Red Licthies’ stunning campaign that they head into this clash chasing the title.
If Dick Campbell’s men can grab another three points it would keep the heat on Kilmarnock ahead of a crunch showdown between the top two at Rugby Park next weekend.
And the bookies fancy them to do just that against a Queens side who have lost six in a row and look increasingly doomed.
Arbroath’s best price is just 4/6 at SkyBet while Willie Gibson’s side are as big as 5/1 with Bet365.
That’s a huge price for any team in such a competitive league, especially as the Doonhamers need to go all out for the win.
Neither side can afford to sit back so I’m going for BTTS at 6/5 with Bet365 while over 2.5 goals also stands a chance at 11/10 with the same firm.
Raith Rovers are another team who have no option but to attack as they bid to keep their play-off hopes alive today.
They trail Partick by six points with three games to go but have the chance to cut the gap as they face Thistle. The Firhill pitch has made goals hard to come by of late, with seven of Partick’s last eight home games seeing just one strike or fewer.
The last meeting also ended 0-0 at Stark’s Park while the Jags won 1-0 when Raith came calling just before Christmas.
So it’s tempting to bet against a lot of goals today, even though the Kirkcaldy side have to go for it.
Under 2.5 goals pays just 7/10 at McBookie but betting against BTTS is a bit better at 22/23 with SBK.
There’s a huge game at the other end of the table as Dunfermline and Ayr scrap to avoid finishing in the play-off place for relegation.
The Pars trail the Honest Men by just three points heading into their clash at East End Park.
I’ve a feeling home advantage will see John Hughes’ men home and they are 13/11 with SBK.
Cove could be crowned League One champions today if they beat Alloa at home and Airdrieonians slip up against Dumbarton.
But I’ve a feeling the title race will continue for another week so I’m doubling wins for the top two (115/100, SBK) even though the same bet failed to land for me last week.
Cowdenbeath stayed alive in League Two with a win last week and I fancy BTTS (19/20, Unibet) when they host fourth-placed Edinburgh City today.
Super Singles
Deadly Double
- Cove and Airdrie (115/100, SBK)

- Combining BTTS with over 2.5 cards at Cowdenbeath pays 122/100
