February 7th: Friday’s Football Double – 6/1 Special, Betting Tips & Predictions

Contents

19:45 Mansfield vs Northampton 20:05 PSG vs Monaco Friday’s Daily Double

With the FA Cup getting back underway this weekend, we have an all-Premier League showdown on the cards when Manchester United welcome Leicester to Old Trafford on Friday night.

With French giants PSG and Monaco also meeting on Friday, we have a string of eye-catching affairs from across Europe’s elite.

For those of you looking to stick on a Friday flutter, we have taken a look at two of the most appealing betting markets that are available.

19:45 Mansfield vs Northampton

While Mansfield might have come flying out of the traps after making their League One return this season, the Stags have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion. Last seen falling to a 2-1 loss away at Mansfield, Nigel Clough’s side have come tumbling away from the play-off places. Despite getting the New Year underway with consecutive 2-1 victories against Bolton and Stockport, Friday’s hosts have lost each of their previous five appearances across all competitions. Desperately seeking a much-needed boost this weekend, the former Burton boss is also calling on his downbeat squad to find some crucial stability on home soil. In fact, Mansfield have lost each of their last three straight showdowns at Field Mill by an aggregate score of 5-1. However, despite enduring their worst rut of the season so far, the Nottinghamshire-based outfit should be smelling a potential opportunity on Friday night.

Eventually dragging themselves to what was a dramatic 3-2 victory against Huddersfield last weekend, the Cobblers are desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on. However, still at the heart of a relegation scrap and looking over their shoulder at the drop zone, Kevin Nolan’s men have recorded just a pair of wins from any of their previous 11 appearances across all competitions. Signing off January with a 3-1 loss at the hands of Bolton, Friday’s guests have shown some extended defensive struggles. Including a 5-0 drumming at home against Charlton on December 21st, Northampton have recorded just a pair of clean sheets since the end of November. Suffering a 4-1 loss against Reading on Boxing Day, Nolan’s side should also be concerned by a downbeat record at Field Mill. In fact, the Cobblers have failed to win any of their last 10 consecutive trips to Nottinghamshire.

20:05 PSG vs Monaco

Eventually storming their way to a Champions League play-off ticket last week, PSG are enjoying what has become a sensational run of form. Mounting a famous European comeback in the French capital on January 22nd as they claimed a 4-2 victory against Premier League giants Manchester City, Luis Enrique’s men find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Last seen in Ligue 1 action landing an action-packed 5-2 win away at Brest, Friday’s hosts have won their previous three appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 11-3. Getting this weekend’s fixtures underway holding a commanding 10-point buffer at the top of the Ligue 1 table, it is no secret that PSG are pencilled in as a landslide favourite to make more domestic history in 2025. Gaining a fearsome reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third, the former PSG boss has seen his superstar squad notch 54 goals in their 20 Ligue 1 appearances so far this season.

While Monaco might have turned a recent corner over the past fortnight, Les Moneqasques have continued to show a string of glaring issues on either side of opening the New Year. Signing off 2024 with an action-packed 4-2 loss against PSG, Ali Hutter’s side will be bracing themselves for another heavyweight challenge here. Signing off their Champions League group stage adventure with a routine 3-0 drumming against Italian giants Inter Milan, Friday’s guests have gained a reputation for their glaring struggles away from the Stade Louis II. Including a 2-1 defeat against Montpellier last month, Monaco have recorded just a single victory from any of their previous nine appearances across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to November 9th. It should also be noted, Hutter’s side fell to a 5-2 defeat when they last travelled to the French capital back in November 2023. Likewise, Monaco have registered just a sole victory away at the defending champions over the past nine years.
