Premiership Betting Tips 24th April 2010Manchester United (1.5) Draw (4.5) Tottenham (7.5)
Unreal results for Spurs recently. Not many people would have thought they'd beat Arsenal and Chelsea back to back. They looked even more stunning against Chelsea than they did against Arsenal. The Chelsea game could have easily ended up 4 or 5 - 1, given how dominant Spurs were. Man U's fortune changed last weekend with a stoppage time goal which kept their title chances alive. With Spurs beating Chelsea, the title race is on again. The trouble is, I can't remember the last great Man U performance. They beat City but that was a scrappy affair which could have gone either way. On current form, I do rate Spurs a better side than Man U. 7.5 at Skybet is a big price indeed. That will be my bet.
Bolton (1.57) Draw (4.1) Portsmouth (7)
Bolton snatched an unlikely victory at Stoke last weekend. Matt Taylor scoring 2 late goals to give Bolton all 3 points and practically guaranteeing safety. Before then though, they were struggling to score, going 4 games without. Portsmouth are down and out so I don't know whether they will even bother turning up in mind. Their season rests on the FA Cup final in a few weeks. They put in a good performance against Villa last week and maybe should have got a point from it. I am not too happy about the price on Bolton here. I didn't think I'd ever see Bolton at 1.57 against anyone in Premiership. Looks like a 1-0, 2-0 game this to the home side. I think the 2.62 for Bolton to win to nil is bet to have at PaddyPower. Portsmouth have only scored 1 in their last 5 so another blank scoring sheet looks on the cards.
Hull (2.5) Draw (3.5) Sunderland (3.2)
Things aren't going well for Hull City. New manager has made little difference to their form. They had a run of winnable games but only won 1 and drew 1 out of those. Against Villa, they just sat back and allowed them to attack. With the goal difference, Hull are effectively 4 points behind West Ham with 3 games to go. Sunderland are finishing the season fairly strongly. Bent is still scoring for fun. Their away record has sucked all season though and I don't see them winning here. I don't see them losing either though. Biggest price on the coupon is the draw at 3.5 at Skybet.
West Ham (1.85) Draw (3.6) Wigan (4.5)
I think West Ham are safe on the basis that Hull won't be able to make up 3 points in 3 games. A win here would surely make them safe though. West Ham were poor against Liverpool last week and duly lost 3-0. Wigan has the most amazing game last weekend against Arsenal, 2-0 down with about 10 minutes to go, they go on to score 3 and win 3-2. Its that crazy type of form that makes me loathe to tip any game involving Wigan. Saying that, 4.5 is a big enough price for me to have a punt on Wigan. I can't believe the bookies have West Ham odds on favourite for this game. Its not even a must win game for them. Lesser teams have gone to Upton Park and took all 3 points. 4.5 at Skybet is too big a price in my opinion.
Wolverhampton (2.3) Draw (3.3) Blackburn (3.4)
A nothingness game if I ever saw one. Neither team has anything to play for. Wolves went on a mini run a few weeks ago and have pulled clear of relegation. In their last 4 games, they have failed to score though. Blackburn lost to Everton at home last week. Only the 3rd home defeat of the season. Away from home they are poor though, only winning 2. Hard to judge these nothingness games. I'll go for the draw as it would suit both teams and I really can't see a winner. Its 3.3 at Skybet.
Arsenal (2) Draw (3.6) Manchester City (4.2)
Arsenal's season looks like its going to end with a whimper. Just 2 weeks ago, they were being tipped as potential dark horses for the Championship but defeats at Spurs and Wigan have ended all that talk. The game at Wigan was just crazy. 10 minutes to go and 2-0 up, you'd have bet your house on Arsenal not losing that. They just switched off and bang, bang, bang, 3-2 to Wigan. City lost the Manchester Derby to an injury time Scholes goal. Man U being lucky again. City have let Spurs in to the driving seat for that 4th spot. City have shown they have the players to beat anyone if they play well. I was thinking of backing City here but I will go for Arsenal. It rare you get even money for them at the Emirates. I think theres also a bit of gamblers fallacy here too. Arsenal have lost 3 on the bounce now in all competitions so must be due a win. Even money at most bookies.
