Weekend Football betting tips

2 January 2009
20:00 Tottenham (1.83) Draw (3.5) Wigan (4.5)
The honeymoon period for Spurs is over. Can't see Spurs are odds on for this. Spurs are still in a relegation battle. Wigan are a decent side (no Heskey though) and have won their last 3 games. I think Bruce will be well up for this. Looking at the price, I have to back Wigan. Price is 4.5 at Paddypower.
3 January 2009
13:00 Hartlepool (4.3) Draw (3.5) Stoke (2)
Only 1 away win this season for Stoke. That was in the Carling Cup against Cheltenham. Going to back them for a win though. They are the type of premiership team that won't be phased by the lower division Hartlepool side. Best price is even money at bet365 who own Stoke. I guess they'll be gutted if this comes in from a betting perspective but their team will be through to the next round.
15:00 Arsenal (1.22) Draw (7) Plymouth (17)
Arsenal should walk this but can't back them 1.22. Too many let downs this season. No Bet.
15:00 Chelsea (1.11) Draw (9) Southend (29)
I cannot set an upset here. Odds are very low though. Maybe one for the combos. Can't bet at 1.11. Win to nil odds is 1.53 at Paddypower.
15:00 Hull (2.4) Draw (3.4) Newcastle (2.9)
Heart ache for Hull the other day against Villa. So unlucky to concede in the 88th minute. Newcastle got battered by Liverpool last time out. No strong opinion on this one but looking at the prices, the draw is the best price and just as likely a home or away win. Price is 3.4 at bet365
15:00 Macclesfield (11) Draw (5.5) Everton (1.36)
Away banker. Macclesfield are a mid table league 2 side. Price is low but I think I have found value bet of the weekend. Everton have kept 5 clean sheets out of 6 in their last premiership games. So when I checked the prices for win to nil, I am was surprised that bluesquare are offering 2.2 for Everton to win to nil. I was expecting something more like the 1.73 offered by Skybet.
15:00 Manchester City (1.36) Draw (5) Nottingham F (10)
Home win. Only danger is that Forest have a new manager. Can't see them troubling Man City though. Price is 1.36 at Paddypower. If he plays Robinho will surely get a goal. Price is evens at for him to score anytime.
15:00 Middlesbrough (1.2) Draw (8.5) Barrow (17)
Unpredictable Boro. Cannot back them at 1.2. I prefer backing them at big odds. No bet.
15:00 Portsmouth (1.73) Draw (3.75) Bristol C (6.5)
Potential upset here. With the transfer window open I can see a few Pompey players not wanting to be cup tied and getting injured before kick off. City have been on a little run beating Watford and Palace. Big price (6.5) for Bristol City at Paddypower.
15:00 Sheffield W (3.5) Draw (3.4) Fulham (2.25)
4, 0-0 draw on the road for Fulham. Wednesday don't concede very much at home. A highly speculative bet but I think no goal scorer at 10.0 at Sportingbet is worth a go.
15:00 Sunderland (2.3) Draw (3.4) Bolton (3.25)
Tricky one this. In the league, this fixture ended 1-4. Sunderland have improved and Bolton have come off the boil a bit. No bet.
15:00 West Brom (1.62) Draw (3.8) Peterborough (7)
Another upset maybe. West Brom are in a relegation battle. Maybe they don't want a cup run. are offering 7.0 on the away win.
15:00 West Ham (1.53) Draw (4) Barnsley (8)
Barnsley were last years hero (or villains depending on how you look at things). Maybe another upset here.
17:25 Preston (8) Draw (4.5) Liverpool (1.53)
Liverpool should win this on paper. Can't trust Benitez though. They have a good chance of winning the league this year and going out of the cup may be a blessing. Preston are no mugs and could well make it in to the Premiership next season.
Price is 8.0 at
4 January 2009
13:30 Gillingham (9.0) Draw (4.5) Aston Villa (1.4)
Villa have bad form in the FA Cup due to the fact that they always seem to get Man U. Villa were lucky to beat Hull the other day. I think their priority is the league. A big price on the home win here. Really need to see the team sheet but at the moment 9.0 at Ladbrokes for the home win is tempting.
16:00 Southampton (13) Draw (5.5) Manchester United (1.3)
Southampton look like they are going down this year. Man U should win comfortably. Saying that, they should have beat Stoke and Boro comfortably. The win to nil odds is 1.91 at Paddypower.
5 January 2009
20:00 Blyth Spartans (15) Draw (8) Blackburn (1.23)
Away win but have no interest at these prices. One for the combos.
