Another huge weekend of football coming up and Friday provides the perfect appetiser for the next few days ahead as Championship leaders Norwich take on Swansea in the big kick-off tonight. There’s action from around Europe and we’ve got a tempting treble, while we’ve got a nap of the day as horse racing comes from Leicester, Sandown, Lingfield, Newcastle and Dundalk.
In-form Norwich started the day two points clear at the summit of the Championship table and they can extend their lead when they welcome Swansea to Carrow Road, where goals galore are very much the order of the day!
Norwich’s 17 home league games have witnessed an eye-watering 64 goals this season – 3.76 goals per game on average – and the Canaries have only lost one of their last eleven on home soil. A Norwich win and over 2.5 goals is our best bet at 7/5, which is a bet that has paid out in seven of the past eleven at Carrow Road.
The Norwich win and both teams to score is available 11/5 with Bet Victor, which has landed in six of Norwich’s past eleven at home.
Swansea have done well with limited resources this season but they haven’t kept a clean sheet away from home since 10th November; winning two, drawing one and losing five on the road since then. The Swans have lost the last three away from home, conceding at least two goals in each, and we fear for them here.

Friday’s Football Treble
Tonight’s treble includes a Juventus win – which isn’t the most imaginative of bets admittedly, but they are rock solid in Serie A at the moment and are home bankers. The same applies to League Two high-fliers Lincoln, who are tipped to overcome Yeovil in their match.
Finally, we were surprised to see that Werder Bremen are available at even-money as they take on Schalke, who have lost four of their last five in all competitions, conceding 13 goals in the process.
| Friday Football Treble | Odds | Bet | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tips: | Juventus v Udinese – Home Win | @ 2 / 7 | |
WerderBremen v Schalke – Home Win |
@ 1 / 1 | ||
| Lincoln v Yeovil – Home Win | @ 3 / 5 | ||
| Treble Pays: | @ 3 / 1 | BetVictor | |
