Football Betting Tipsby Ben, last updated 2010-04-16 20:17:08Premiership Betting Tips17th April 2010Manchester City (2.8) Draw (3.5) Manchester United (2.5)This is probably the lowest price I have ever seen Man City at home to Man U in the Premier League era. City are favourites to get that 4th spot. They seem to have found their scoring boots, knocking in 3,6 and 5 in their last 3 games. Man U have had a bad few games. Beaten by their title rivals, Chelsea, getting knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern and then a goaless draw at Blackburn. They've more or less surrendered the title to Chelsea after looking in total control. Tricky game to predict this. Without Rooney, I am favouring City. They met earlier in the season in the Carling Cup and City won 2-1. United look average without Rooney and City do have the strike force that can penetrate leaky Manchester United defence. Man City are 2.8 at bet365. Birmingham (1.8) Draw (3.6) Hull (5.5) Birmingham were thrashed 5-1 at City last weekend. Maybe they are getting that end of season feeling. They have also drawn their last 3 games at home but they were against Everton, Liverpool and Arsenal so no shame there. They do tend to beat the less teams that visit St Andrews and Hull are certainly a lesser team. Hull could have kept their hopes of staying up alive last week against Burnley but a 4-1 home defeat means that they are probably going down now. They are the only team that haven't won away all season. If Birmingham had something to play for, surely they'd be 1.6-1.7 but the bookies have gone 1.8 for them. Its a good price as I can't seem Birmingham taking their foot off the pedal at home to a poor Hull City side. Skybet and Ladbrokes go 1.8 on a Birmingham win. Blackburn (2.8) Draw (3.3) Everton (2.7) Blackburn ended Man U's title challenge last week but not letting them leave with all 3 points. Blackburn have been extremely strong at home all season with a 9-6-2 record. The two defeats were against City on the first day of the season and to Spurs. Everton still can qualify for the Europa League next season if they can overtake Villa and Chelsea win the FA Cup. Everton played really well against Villa midweek and should have really take all 3 points. Another tricky one so I think the draw is the logical option. Blackburn don't lose at home and Everton are in good form. The draw is 3.3 at most places. Fulham (2.2) Draw (3.3) Wolverhampton (4) Fulham got a good draw at Anfield last weekend, really ending any chance of Liverpool getting 4th place now. The thing for Fulham is that the Europa League semi final is next Thursday. I don't think their minds will be on this meaningless fixture. Their season rests on the Europa League now. It wouldn't surprise me if we saw a different Fulham side out. Wolves on 33 points are 6 ahead of Burnley and a better goal difference too. This means they are safe. I think they'd be happy with a point here just to make sure. Both teams had 0-0 draws in their last game and that score line wouldn't surprise me at all. The draw is 3.3 at Boylesport or under 1.5 goals is 3.0. Both are good bets given the circumstances. Stoke (2.1) Draw (3.4) Bolton (4) Stoke keep on playing despite having nothing to play for. I think I will have to change my thoughts on them. Maybe they have got some juicy final position bonus or just want to beat last years points tally. Bolton should more or less be safe now. They played a stunning game against Chelsea midweek where they lost 1-0 but could and maybe should have got all 3 points. I don't think they'll be able to put in another performance like that again for a while. Stoke for me. Its 2.1 at Bodog New players get up to £125 in free bets. Sunderland (1.62) Draw (3.85) Burnley (6.5) Sunderland have picked up their home form in recent weeks. Away form is still poor but at home they have done a number on a few teams that are below them. Darren Bent is on fire at the moment but the bookies have cottoned on to that and prices for him to score are shockingly low. Burnley got their first away win of the season last weekend against Hull. Those penalties they got and the fact that Hull were rubbish helped a lot. I don't think they will be getting a win here. Sunderland at 1.62 may sound poor but Burnley just don't turn up away from home. 1.62 at bet365. Tottenham (4.3) Draw (3.6) Chelsea (1.95) Spurs broke their duck against Arsenal midweek with a 2-1 win. This was a good reaction to the FA Cup upset. The Arsenal game would have taken it out of them. Chelsea will be watching the early game with a lot of interest. If United get beat a draw will be OK for them here. Chelsea were poor against Bolton so will surely raise their game here. Spurs do look a big price for the home team. On their day they can beat anyone. I think the draw is the best option, especially if Man U lose earlier in the day. I can't really be backing Chelsea away from home at odds on in any case. The draw is 3.6 at bet365. ← Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 224 225 226 227 228 229 230 231 232 233 234 235 236 237 238 239 240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255 256 257 258 259 260 261 262 263 264 265 266 267 268 269 270 271 272 273 274 275 276 277 278 279 280 281 282 283 284 285 286 287 288 289 290 291 292 293 294 295 296 297 298 299 300 301 302 303 304 305 306 307 308 309 310 311 312 313 314 315 316 317 318 319 320 321 322 323 324 325 326 327 328 329 330 331 332 333 334 335 336 337 338 339 340 341 342 343 344 345 346 347 348 349 350 351 352 353 354 355 356 357 358 359 360 361 362 363 364 365 366 367 368 369 370 371 372 373 374 375 376 377 378 379 380 381 382 383 384 385 386 387 388 389 390 391 392 393 394 395 396 397 398 399 400 401 402 403 404 405 406 407 408 409 410 411 412 413 414 415 416 Next → |
