7th - 8th April 2012
7th April 2012Sunderland (3.4) Draw (3.5) Tottenham (2.3)
Sunderland nearly pulled off upset of the season last week by defeating Manchester City at the Etihad. They were deservedly 3-1 up with 5 minutes to go. City scored 2 late goals to salvage a point though. Bendtner's not looking too bad nowadays. I did think that it was season over for Sunderland after getting knocked out of the cup but they are still playing strong. Spurs got their first league win in 6 against Swansea last weekend. I think it has something to do with Lennon being back in the side. They seem to get better results when him and Bale are playing on the wings. I think Spurs can nick with one. Sunderland have go to come down at some point and Spurs have the quality to beat them. Spurs are 2.3 at PaddyPower.
Bolton (2.63) Draw (3.5) Fulham (2.8)
The momentum is definitely with Bolton. The Muamba incident seems to have galvanised the team. They are looking for win number 4 on the bounce. Last weekend they beat Wolves 3-2 after going a goal down and previously beaten Blackburn and QPR at home. Fulham beat Norwich last weekend 2-1. They always play their best football at home though and on the road they aren't the same team. Saying that, I was really impressed with them at Manchester United a couple of weeks ago. They should have had a late penalty and would have got a point if that would have gone in. I don't think Bolton will lose this game but I am not convinced they are the type of team to be able to win 4 in a row. Draw for me. Its 3.5 at Boylesports.
Chelsea (1.3) Draw (6) Wigan (13)
Chelsea struggled against Benfica in the Champions League midweek. They were playing against 10 men for most of the game and it only was a stoppage time breakaway goal that gave them the win. I was embarrassed for English football. (As a side tip, Barcelona at 1.8 on the 18th to beat Chelsea is almost like buying money). Coach Di Matteo will be able to rotate his squad though and bring out a stronger team maybe. They really have to get 4th place to get in to next years Champions League. Wigan keep on surprising. Its as if they need a relegation battle to get going. That 1-1 draw against Norwich was the turning point for them. Since then they have beaten Stoke and Liverpool as well as got a draw against West Brom. I wouldn't put it past them to get something here either. 1.3 on the home win to too risky for me considering how poor Chelsea have been this season. The draw at 6.0 at bet365 is the best value of the 3 possible outcomes I think.
Liverpool (1.45) Draw (4.6) Aston Villa (9)
Another week, another loss for Liverpool. They are the bookies best friend. I can't believe they were favourite going in to the Newcastle game last weekend. They lost 2-0 and were out played. Their midfield is just not good enough. Who are Spearing and Shelvey? Reina is also suspended due to the red card last weekend. Villa lost again last weekend but there were some signs for hope. They were 2-0 down and got it back to 2-2 before losing 4-2. Captain, Petrov is out and they are missing Darren Bent. N Zogbia might be back though so that will boost them. Looking at the odds, there is no way I can be backing Liverpool at 1.45. They have relegation type form. I think its worth taking a punt on the away win here. Villa are a massive 9.0 at Boylesports.
Norwich (3) Draw (3.4) Everton FC (2.6)
Norwich lost 2-1 to Fulham last weekend. No shame in that. They have gone off the boil a bit but I suppose they have nothing to play for now. Holt is back in the squad after serving a suspension and Pilkington could return following a hamstring injury. That'll boost their goal scoring capabilities. Everton still have a lot to play for. Next weekend they have Liverpool in the FA Cup and if they want to finish above them too in the league. I think some of the players will be playing for a place in that cup side so I expect them to be well motivated for this game. Saying that, it's a tricky game to call. I probably wouldn't have Everton as favourites here. Norwich aren't a bad side and with Holt and Pilkington in the side, they certainly have the potential to score goals. It's the draw for me. Its 3.4 at Betfred.
West Brom (2.05) Draw (3.6) Blackburn (4.2)
Since that win against Chelsea on the 3rd March, West Brom have lost 3 and drawn 1 against Wigan which they should have lost too. They have just gone off the boil a little bit. Blackburn were a little unlucky to go down 2-0 to Manchester United on Monday. It was even for most of the game and it looked like they could hold out for a 0-0 but United being United won it late. Any side with Yakubu and Hoilett in is more than capable of winning a fixture like this. With West Brom there seems to have been no home advantage for them. They play better away from home than they do at home. I am going to go for a Blackburn win here. 4.2 at Boylesports is a big price.
Stoke (1.67) Draw (4) Wolverhampton (6.5)
No win in 4 for Stoke. Last game they lost 2-0 at Wigan. I guess its season over for them. They did pull out a decent performance the weekend before though with a 1-1 draw against City and Crouch scoring what could be goal of the season. Wolves are gone now. They have only took 1 point from the last 21 available. The board must be regretting sacking McCarthy. I don't see any way out for them. With Stoke being traditionally a strong home side, I can see them winning this comfortably. Stoke are 1.67 at Betfred.
8th April 2012
Manchester United (1.2) Draw (8) QPR (17)
Manchester United are looking great for retaining their title. It was a lot tougher game at Blackburn than the 2-0 scoreline suggests. They just know how to grind out the results. QPR have taken a couple of big scalps at home and with a little help from Manchester United have pulled out of the relegation zone. The maybe were lucky against Liverpool but where good value for their win against Arsenal. The away form leaves something to be desired though and I think it would be too much to ask for them to get something from Old Trafford. I am going for my current favourite bet with United which is them to win to nil. It's 1.91 at PaddyPower.
Arsenal (2.63) Draw (3.5) Manchester City (3)
Arsenal's luck ran out at QPR last weekend. They were well beaten 2-1 at QPR. The Van Persie goals are drying up. They have other goal scorers but he's been the main driver. After last weekend's 3-3 draw at home to Sunderland and Manchester United's win over Blackburn, its pretty much win here or concede the title for City. Aguero is back so maybe they can win it. They have lacked the width to their game but with Aguero's quality they'll be able to score down the middle. I can't see them losing this. I've gone City draw no bet at 2.1 at PaddyPower.
