Jim Delahunt runs the rule over Rangers v Hearts, Celtic’s trip to Kilmarnock, all the weekend action plus his acca

BOURNEMOUTH have won both of their league games since losing 4-2 at Liverpool on the opening weekend and the Cherries can pick up where they left off by beating Brighton at 7/5.

Andoni Iraola has dealt brilliantly with the summer sale of 75% of his first choice back-four and 1-0 wins over Wolves (home) and Spurs (away) have signalled the Spaniard’s intent to top last season’s club record 15 wins in the top flight.

Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo are key players in support of £40m Brazilian Evanilson up top but Scotland‘s Ben Gannon-Doak is fresh from a superb performance in Hungary against Belarus and the Spanish coach has multiple options to tackle the Seagulls on home turf.

Brighton‘s win over Manchester City before the break will have increased confidence amongst Fabian Hurzeler’s 19/10 visitors but Bournemouth could have too much firepower for them at the Vitality and 7/5 looks excellent win value.

Aston Villa have been struggling to recapture their form of last season and I reckon EVERTON look another huge-value home-win Premier League bet at 29/20 to beat Unai Emery’s side.

Harvey Elliott, Jadon Sancho and Victor Lindelof should make a difference for the visitors once Emery sorts out his new first choice starting line-up but the Toffees have made a great start at their new stadium and Jack Grealish looks an inspired signing by Davie Moyes.

Everton looked insipid in their opening 1-0 defeat at Elland Road but they’ve bounced back to beat Brighton and Mansfield at the Hill Dickinson and signed off for the World Cup break by winning 3-2 away to Wolves with Grealish outstanding.

Villa have yet to score as they’ve gathered a single point against Newcastle, Brentford and Crystal Palace and Everton look more than capable of piling on the misery whichever goalkeeper Emery chooses to field after a bizarre transfer window.

NEWCASTLE get to finally move on from the Alexander Isak saga with the visit of badly toiling Wolves and the St James’ park faithful can help get Eddie Howe’s side over the line to register a first league win at a general 4/9.

Two draws on the road at Leeds and Villa need building on quickly if the Carabao Cup winners are to re-ignite their top four hopes but Howe’s choices have been bolstered by Nick Woltemade and Yoanne Wissa and they can prove way better win bets than Vitor Pereira’s visitors.

COVENTRY have faltered slightly since banging in 12 goals against Derby (5) and QPR (7) but Frank Lampard’s Sky Bluess are back at home against Norwich and they can see off the 7/2 Canaries at a general 8/11.

Coventry drew 2-2 at Oxford after a home Carabao Cup defeat to Millwall but Lampard’s side hit the bar in added time and the point at least kept them unbeaten as visiting coach Liam Manning tries to build on a 100% away record after beating Portsmouth and Blackburn.

WREXHAM had the highest net spend in the Championship during the summer window and Phil Parkinson’s side can register a home win over QPR after signing off with a road win at Millwall.

The Loftus Road Rangers stopped the rot with a derby win over Charlton before the break but Parkinson will feed his new signings in gradually and the rump of the side which has picked up 4 points from 4 games can bank another 3 at a general 10/11.

Bolton (1/2) and Huddersfield (1/2) were short-priced winners for us in League One last week and I fancy HUDDERSFIELD and CARDIFF to register road wins at Bradford and Stockport this week at 9/5 and 6/4 respectively.

I tipped up WALSALL to beat second top Chesterfield at 9/5 in League Two last week and The Saddlers can win again away to Fleetwood at 6/4 with GILLINGHAM fancied to beat Notts County at 11/8.

Saturday SINGLE

There really isn’t much between Crawley and CHELTENHAM in League Two this season and Michael Flynn‘s visitors look big value to win at 16/5.

RANGERS V HEARTS

Russell Martin steadied the ship with that goalless draw against Celtic before the international break but the Gers now host joint leaders Hearts and they’re 8/11 to register a first league win.

Hearts are 16/5 and 3/1 to continue their excellent start to the season but you’d have to fancy Rangers to score at least once and Hearts have to end a 17-match run at Ibrox without a win.

Starring roles midweek for Derek Cornelius (Canada) and Thelo Aasgaard (Norway) will have raised home hopes of a turnaround but Derek McInnes might see a point as a good result here and I’m backing the draw at 3/1.

DUNDEE V MOTHERWELL

Steven Pressley’s side have to bounce back from their derby defeat to United here 2 weeks ago and the home side are massive outsiders on their own patch at 13/5 and bigger.

Motherwell lost a 3-0 lead at Tynecastle before drawing 2-2 at home to Kilmarnock so they do look short at 19/20 on the road at Dens and both sides have now drawn with Kilmarnock and Rangers.

I fancied Dundee to do better in the derby so I’m giving them another chance here with Pressley’s side taken to edge a game featuring two teams looking for a first league win.

HIBERNIAN V DUNDEE UTD 5.45pm Premier Sports

Jim Goodwin signed a new deal at United after clocking up a first league win in the Dundee derby but tomorrow’s road trip is a bit further south than Dens Park and I fancy Hibs to take 3 points.

The home side are short at 4/6 against the 15/4 visitors and while Goodwin’s players could be good for a goal in the BTTS Yes market at 4/5, Hibs always look capable of scoring twice.

The third-top Easter Road side have a game in hand over Celtic and Hearts and this looks a good opportunity to turn the screw with both of the sides above them facing tricky road trips.

KILMARNOCK V CELTIC Sunday 3pm Sky Sports

Celtic are well capable pf scoring in the 12 minutes the away fans intend boycotting at Rugby Park but Stuart Kettlewell’s players will be concentrating on keeping things tight again after 4 draws in their first 4 matches.

Another stalemate against the champions is 9/2 and better with most firms but 4th placed Killie are 6-6 for and against in the Premiership and Celtic look more than likely to score despite those latest draws at Kairat and Rangers.

Kilmarnock are 10/1 to inflict a first league defeat on 1/4 Celtic but none of the home/away/draw prices appeals in a match where HT/FT Draw/Celtic might be the value at 3/1.
