14th - 16th April 2012
14th April 2012Norwich (7) Draw (4.3) Manchester City (1.57)
Fantastic result for Norwich against Spurs last round. I was surprised as anyone as Spurs are fighting for that 4th spot and Norwich's season is pretty much over in terms of what they can achieve. The 2-1 win at the Lane wasn't a smash and grab either. It was as likely to finish 3-1 as 2-2. City's title hopes are not quite over. The defeat of Manchester United at Wigan give them a glimmer of hope. City thrashed West Brom 4-0 last game. They were the City we saw at the beginning of the season. With Aguero and Tevez upfront they are a force to be reckoned with and Silva looked back in form too. Its as if City have been gifted a second shot at the title by the footballing gods. I think they will take the chance. It's 1.57 at Bet Victor.
Sunderland (1.55) Draw (4.5) Wolverhampton (7)
Sunderland were thrashed 4-0 by Everton their bogie team last round. They were dominated and didn't even have a single shot on target. O'Neil will want something from his players this game to make up. Nicklas Bendtner may return which will give them some more firepower. John O'Shea and Fraizer Campbell could also be back. Wolves had no chance against Arsenal last round. They were 1-0 down and down to 10 men with 10 minutes. They did well to finish the game with the score only at 3-0. Nothing has gone right for them since sacking McCarthy. I can't see them getting anything here. Maybe if Sunderland would have got something from Everton I might be tempted to put something on Wolves but O'Neil will get a performance from them this week. I'm going to go for Sunderland -1 on the Asian Handicap. It's 1.86 at Ladbrokes. I can see them winning this by a couple of goals.
Swansea (2.05) Draw (3.6) Blackburn (4)
Swansea's brand of football may have been found out. They have plenty of possession but the passing is always backwards or sideways and very rarely forward. They have now lost 4 games in a row. Teams are pressing them high up the pitch and getting results. Blackburn are going though another slump. 3 weeks ago, it looked like they were going to pull out of the relegation battle but 4 defeats in a row and unexpected turnarounds at Wigan and QPR put them right back in it. They had a bit of good fortune against Liverpool last round and were looking the more likely to win. Only a stoppage time Liverpool goal denied them a point. With both sides in terrible form and not scoring it made me think that under 2.5 goals might be a decent shout here but I am going to go with Blackburn +0.5 goals on the Asian Handicap. It's 1.95 at bet365. That covers the draw and the Blackburn win. None of the 3 results would surprise me so may as well put a bet on that covers 2 of the outcomes.
West Brom (2.2) Draw (3.4) QPR (3.7)
West Brom were thrashed midweek by a resurgent Manchester City side. Hodgson did rest a few players though knowing that it was going to be a tough game. They should be back to full strength this game. Their home form is steadily improving. They have actually won 3 of their last 4 games at home to nil. Their lost was against Newcastle. QPR have surprised many. A month ago, they were looking doomed but 3 home wins out of 3 have pulled them out of the relegation zone. These haven't been teams around them either, its been Liverpool, Arsenal and Swansea. The last away game was at Old Trafford which despite playing with 10 men for most of the game, they only lost 2-0. I am going to go with West Brom here. Players will be a lot fresher and they have home advantage. They are 2.2 at Bet Victor.
15th April 2012
Manchester United (1.25) Draw (6.5) Aston Villa (15)
Poor performance midweek from United. They deserved to lose to Wigan and probably by more than the 1 goal. Paul Scholes was rested so maybe that has something to do with it. It must broke a lot of peoples' accumulators that loss. It certainly killed a big one of mine. Some people say it has been coming though. United haven't been playing well at all and someone was going to suss them out sooner or later. Poor form from Villa puts them at risk of being sucked in to the relegation zone. They have only won 1 in the last 10 which was a late win against Fulham at home. This looks like a home win. United can't play as poorly as they did against Wigan. As usual, I will go for United to win to nil. Its 2.0 at PaddyPower.
16th April 2012
Arsenal (1.29) Draw (6) Wigan (12)
Arsenal are the in form team at the moment. I watched with amazement they was they battered Manchester City who are arguably the best team in the league on paper. They have won 9 out of their last 10 games. Last round they played Wolves which was over as a contest after 11 minutes. Arsenal were 2-0 up and Wolves down to 10 men. Wigan need a relegation battle before they get going. They have won 3 of the last 4 games and were unlucky to lose against Chelsea. They could have won that on another day. The best result I suppose was the victory over Manchester United last round though. They fully deserved the victory and has a perfectly good goal disallowed in the first half too. From a betting perspective, this is tricky. Arsenal are far too short against a team that has just beaten the league leaders and Liverpool at Anfield in the last month. If Arsenal are going to win, they'll have to score 2 goals at least because I can see Wigan scoring. I suppose the logical bet is over 2.5 goals. Its currently 1.57 at Coral. Not great either but I prefer it to the Arsenal straight win.
