Football Bet of the Day: Jags to cruise to victory

Partick v Ross County
Friday 19:45 (Live on BT Sport 1)

An upset in Finland last night as Lahti went to champions HJK Helsinki and won 2-1. It upset our goals bet too, but the prospects for a bumper bank holiday weekend are good.

We're starting in Scotland this evening, where second bottom hosts bottom in the Scottish Prem. A month ago, Partick went to Ross County and were thrashed 4-0. We fancy them to avenge that defeat today. The Jags won this fixture 2-0 earlier this season and the form book is now with them.

Despite a poor campaign overall, Alan Archibald's men have won 6/7 hosting teams now in the bottom half of the league. Ross, on the other hand, have recently lost 9/10 on the road. That run includes losses in 5/6 against bottom-half hosts like Partick. At a nice odds-against price, we're backing the home side to put some distance between themselves and their visitors at the foot of the table.
