30.04.-01.05. 2011. Bets of the week

30.04. (Sat) 16:00 Greenock Morton - Dunfermline Athletic
Dunfermline will get promoted to the Scottish Premier League if they manage to get all three points available against Morton. Jim McIntyre's team will return to the top Scottish top flight after a four year absence and will be motivated to do so.

They should win against a Morton side that have performed really well at home this season. Morton have managed nine home clean sheets so far and only on four occasions have they conceded two or more goals on their own ground.

Mind you, Dunfermline haven't drawn any of their last four games, are unbeaten in their last 10 league matches and are on a eight-game away unbeaten run as well. Motivation and current form are pointing towards the away side who I think will just nick a win by the slimmest of margins.

Match Odds: Morton 3.50, Draw 3.50, Dunfermline 1.80
Tip: Dunfermline to win @ 1.80

01.05. (Sun) 13:00 Liverpool - Newcastle United
Confidence is high at Liverpool and the goals are flying in with the Reds scoring 11 times in their last three games at Anfield. Whether record signing Andy Carroll will be fit is uncertain, but the centre forward would certainly add some spice to the match against former club Newcastle United.

Historically this tie is full of goals and the last six meetings in the Premier League have all exceeded the overs mark, including the reverse fixture this season, which Newcastle won 3-1. But this Liverpool side is a very different outfit under Kenny Dalglish.

With the Reds aiming to overhaul Tottenham for fifth place and Europa League qualification there should only be one outcome at Anfield on Sunday.

Match Odds: Liverpool 1.50, Draw 4.20, Newcastle 6.50
Tip: Liverpool to win @ 1.50

01.05. (Sun) 17:00 Malaga - Hercules
An improving Malaga side under Manuel Pellegrini host Hercules this weekend. I had a bet on them last weekend to beat Santander at 3.0 and they duly delivered. Although Hercules have been better in recent weeks under their new coach, their away form remains abysmal. Malaga have the basis for a good side if they can keep it together and should have too much craft for Hercules.

Match Odds: Malaga 1.80, Draw 3.60, Hercules 4.33
Tip: Malaga to win @ 1.80
