Football Bet of the Day: Sleepy Scottish clash on the cards | OneFootball

Bet of the Day

Hampden Park is our focus tonight, the home of Scotland and Queen's Park

We're heading north of the border, and Kevin Hatchard doesn't want to be entertained by Queen's Park or Falkirk.

Queen's Park v FalkirkFriday 22 November, 19:45

I'm thinking I might have to get a tattoo that says "one goal short" after Arsenal's frustrating 1-0 win over Juventus last night kept our string of near-misses going. No matter, we press on, and we're looking for a dull evening in Scotland. Queen's Park are up against the Scottish Championship leaders Falkirk, and we could be in for a tight and tense tussle.

Falkirk are three points clear at the top of the division, despite a recent 1-0 defeat at promotion rivals Livingston. The Bairns have the best defensive record in the division, with just nine goals conceded in 14 outings, and their form is all the more remarkable when you consider they were only promoted to this division at the end of last term.

Queen's Park were famously an amateur club until 2019, when the club's board decided to go pro, enabling the club to collect transfer fees instead of constantly letting good players leave with no form of compensation. They finished a solid enough eighth in the Championship last term, and they are only a point off the promotion play-off spots. With Airdrieonians marooned at the foot of the table Queen's Park well clear of the bottom two, it's been an encouraging start.

I like the look of Under 2.5 Goals here at 2.2. 11 of Queen's Park's last 16 matches in all competitions have featured fewer than three goals, while 10 of Falkirk's last 16 matches have also seen an Under 2.5 Goals bet land.
