The Daily Acca: Man City to bring home this 7/1 boost

• Queen's Park to remain in the doldrums

• Annan to make home advantage tell

• City to put one foot in the final

Bet 1: Back Partick @ 17/20 - KO 19:45 BST

Partick finished fourth in the Scottish Championship to claim the final Play-off promotion place, and while their opponents, Queen's Park, finished in third, it was Thistle that ended the regular season in the better form.

Owen Coyle's visitors to Firhill Stadium went from looking like league winners to a team that won just one of their final seven fixtures - losing on five occasions.

The hosts, meanwhile, are unbeaten in six, and they took 11 points from their last 15 available on this ground - three of which came from a 4-0 romp against Queen's Park.

Bet 2: Back Annan @ 19/20 - KO 19:45 BST

Annan Athletic and Dumbarton finished third and second in Scottish League Two, respectively, and I am backing home advantage to prove the difference in this promotion Play-off first leg.

The selection only took one point from their final three outings, but they are unbeaten in their last five at home - winning on three occasions - including a 3-1 success against their opponents here.

The visitors have won just one of their last four games, and their away form has been patchy at best. Since back to back wins in late October/early November, the Sons have played 10, won three, drawn three and lost four.

Bet 3: Back Man City @ 11/10 - KO 20:00 BST

It is said every year, but this year is surely the year that Man City finally win the Champions League. Pep Guardiola's side are in red-hot form right now, having reeled in Arsenal in the Premier League and cruised their way through to the FA Cup semi-finals.

Whoever wins this tie between City and Real Madrid will be the heavy favourites to beat one of the Milan clubs in the final of this competition, and I am backing the Citizens to win at the Bernabeu this evening.

Real Madrid are the masters of the Champions League, and they have already knocked out Liverpool and Chelsea in the last 16 and quarter-finals.

They aren't on City's level though, and with Erling Haaland now at the club, it surely really is Manchester City's year.
