Weekend Football Betting Tips

It’s back to business in the Premiership this weekend, and anyone considering a bet would be well-advised to login to their bet365 account as they are betting all matches to 107%. That means better prices all around and, along with their Premiership Acca Bonus, ensures you’re getting some screaming value for your money. But which of the games should we be concentrating on this weekend?

 

There are no prizes for picking Chelsea (1/5) and Man United (1/4) to record home wins against Wigan and Aston Villa respectively, but can we trust Liverpool (8/15) to get the job done against Watford? The Reds have been thumped twice by Arsenal in the past week in Cup competitions, but a trip to the goals-shy Hornets should see them back in the winner’s enclosure. Arsenal (5/6) have a much tougher-looking game at Blackburn, but their record against Rovers is impressive (won seven of their last eight meetings) and they can double their opponents here after hammering them 6-2 at the Emirates.

 

It almost seems too easy, but backing the Big Four to win this weekend combines for a payout of just under 7/2, which includes a bet365 bonus of 5% - up to 60% more available for the more adventurous amongst you. There’s even the chance to bag a free correct score bet on the Arsenal game thanks to bet365's ‘Big Match’ offer! Any customer with a winning correct score bet on the Watford-Liverpool game will receive a free correct score bet to the same stake (up to £50).

 

In other matches, Portsmouth (13/8) and Reading (12/5) are fancied to pick up wins on the road against Sheffield United and Everton. The Blades have done well recently, but Pompey have won all of their games against teams in the bottom six this season, including a comprehensive 3-1 victory when the two teams met three weeks ago. Everton beat Reading 2-0 at the Madejski before Christmas, but they have been stuck for goals since, while Reading have bounced back with excellent efforts at Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge and a thrashing of West Ham.

 

Backing Charlton (6/4) and West Ham (6/5) to win might seem like a quick way to the poor house, but they are tempting this weekend at the bet365 odds at home to Middlesbrough (without an away win this season) and Fulham (won just one of their last eight meetings). Also, don’t be fooled by Man City’s recent winning form, all against lesser opponents. In fact, the last team to beat them was Bolton and they look excellent value at bet365's 4/5 to do the double this weekend.

 

Finally, what promises to be the game of the weekend – Tottenham v Newcastle. It’s on the box of course (4.00pm, Sunday, Live on Sky Sports) so, settle down to watch the action, but keep one eye on bet365's In-Play markets, where you’re sure to find something to bet on. It’s hard to pick a winner, but we reckon goals will the order of the day, so ‘over’ 2.5 goals at 23/20 looks the best pre-match option.
