All tight on night but Jags to nick it

PARTICK THISTLE put their Premiership future on the line tonight and I’m backing them to emerge unscathed.

In the play-off final they face a Livingston side who came through strongly against Dundee United and who will fight all the way.

The Jags are massive favourites to qualify at 1-3 with William Hill while Livi are 12-5 with bet365.

Those odds don’t reflect how close it could be and the first leg at the Tony Macaroni looks like a draw at 12-5 with Marathonbet.

Thistle’s problem all season has been goals and they’ve netted 11 away from home but Livi conceded in both legs of the semi-final and at times their defence look exposed against the Tangerines. The Jags have more experience and have been playing at a high level while the absence of striker Ryan Hardie could be a fatal blow for Livi – who could also be without Rafa de Vita.

David Hopkin’s side are 2-1 at William Hill tonight while Thistle look a little short at 6-4 at McBookie.

In Hardie’s absence they’ll look to Lee Miller who is 13-2 with McBookie to score first.

Conor Sammon is Jags’ best bet of goal at 17-10 with McBookie.

Exeter face Lincoln in the second leg of the League Two play-offs and should progress after a 0-0 draw away. Exeter have lost one in 15 at home and are 23-25 with Marathonbet to reach the Final.

Ex-Aberdeen Jayden Stockley is top scorer and has netted four in his last five at St James Park. He is 29-20 at William Hill to net.

Super Single Stockley to score
