Scottish Football / Total Goals Guys / 28 March 2008 /

The "Total Goals Guys" are going through a dream run on the betting front but warn against complacency...

It's been a tremendous couple of weeks for us but it's important that we keep our discipline as just like football teams are most likely to concede just after scoring, us punters are more likely to receive a slap in the face after a good return in profit.

The danger is that we let our guard down and start to be less cautious because it seems that everything we touch is turning to gold. The confidence breeds a certain air of invincibility but in our case we will be on guard of the now greater betting bank and the first step is to put 40% of it to one side (£43.67) leaving us £65.50 to play with this weekend.

First up it's the Old Firm derby at Ibrox on Saturday. The match is live on Setanta Sports with a 12:30pm kick-off and we fancy two goals or more in the Total Goals market at [1.38]. Gordon Strachan's men haven't managed a single goal against Rangers in the last three encounters, a run that surely won't last much longer. Despite the hosts facing two trips to Celtic Park this season, a home win would be disastrous for the visitors who only have the SPL title left to play for. Neutral two goal backers could see worse than match odds favourites Rangers taking the lead as this would force Celtic to push for an equaliser, opening the game right up. The last six league meetings at Ibrox have thrown up a total of 15 goals.

Arsenal will look to get their title challenge back on track at struggling Bolton on Saturday. The gunners have four draws and one defeat to their name from their last five Premier League matches so it's imperative they pick up three points here. 18th place Bolton are desperate for points however, but it's difficult to see them maintain a run of home games against Arsenal which has seen them find the net in each of the last five league matches. Goals have often been a firm part of this fixture and the visitors often struggled here in the days of Sam Allardyce but Wanderers were a top 8 club in those days. Two goals or more is priced at [1.4] and The Gunners can take care of this on their own having scored 26 times in 15 away fixtures this term.

Manchester United will be looking to keep the wheels in motion in Saturday's early evening visit of Aston Villa. The reds are strong favourites for the championship and with Villa's recent record they will surely be home bankers with Betfair Multiples fans. The visitors haven't scored from open play since the 2-1 win at Reading on 11th February and with Utd conceding only five goals all season at home, it might be difficult for Villa to add to this. Martin O'Neill is a renound man manager however and will be surely be asking questions of his squad in the run up to this. We wouldn't be surprised to see the Midlands side sneak a goal but end up on the losing side. 3 goals or more can be matched at [1.87].

We are on three goals or more at [1.99] for Barcelona's visit to Real Betis on Saturday night. The visitors are only four points behind the league leaders going into this one and a win could put huge physiological pressure on Real Madrid who host Sevilla the following night. Real Betis fans have seen 42 goals in 14 home fixtures this term, Barca are leaking the odd goal at the back and the hosts getting on the score sheet in an important away win seems likely here.

15% of our balance (£16.38) is being staked on each of our four selections
