SOUTHAMPTON were the only promoted side away from home on the first Premier League weekend but the Saints can make up for their Newcastle disappointment by beating Nottingham Forest at St Mary's. Russell Martin's players couldn't quite manage to share the points against 10-man Toon but they showed enough in their first match back in the top flight to make 29/20 look the day's best bet in England . 3 Southampton manager Russell Martin gets involved in the narrow defeat at Newcastle Credit: Getty 3 Jim likes Jimmy Thelin's Dons at home against Kilmarnock Credit: Kenny Ramsay ABERDEEN make this weekend's top 5 at 3/4 with home advantage against Kilmarnock tomorrow and I'm sweet on both Dundee clubs getting 3 points in this afternoon's matches at Tannadice and Easter Road.
I tipped DUNDEE UNITED to take all 3 points at home to St Mirren last Sunday at 23/20 and I'm siding with Jim Goodwin 's side back on league business at home against St Johnstone at around 10/11. 14/5 Saints' decent showing against Rangers was overshadowed by the first goal controversy but I really liked the way United went about their business last weekend and they're starting to look strong defensively too. DUNDEE have scored 29 goals in 7 games including 2 at Tannadice and 3 at home to Hearts and I can see Tony Docherty's side having the confidence to go to Easter Road thinking 3 points is a distinct possibility.
