There's plenty of interesting football betting options to be had at Betfair this weekend. When you look at the Premier League Table, there's three "bottom-half derbies", a tough trip to Hull for Man City, a winnable home game for Owen Coyle and high beting odds on Portsmouth beating Man United.
The Trotters' home form has been disappointing but they are now led by a man who has been beaten twice on his own turf all season and face a Fulham team who have lost four straight league away games, last winning on the road at Portsmouth on the opening day. Back Bolton at 2.32.
Can West Ham draw their way to safety? They've suffered just one defeat in six games but have drawn three on the spin and another stalemate could be on the cards against a Burnley side who are winless in a dozen yet have lost just twice at home all season. It's 3.4 that the points will be shared.
Phil Brown's men have reversed last season's pattern, starting miserably with seven defeats in 11 but losing just four of 13 since. The Tigers have gone 11 without a win though so we're backing City to succeed where Chelsea failed and claim a sixth victory in seven league matches at 1.78.
It's less than two years since Portsmouth won at Old Trafford in the FA Cup but just four of that day's starting line-up remain at Fratton Park and the odds on a repeat are [32.0]. The champions have scored 15 in their last four home league matches without conceding so 3-0 is tempting at 7.2.
Surprisingly, Blackburn have lost just three of their last 11 in the Premier League - and none of their last three. That run should end at the Brit however, with Stoke unbeaten in 2010, victorious in this fixture last season and unbeaten at home to fellow bottom-half sides. Bet on the hosts at 2.36.
Not for the first time this season, Wigan were humiliated in midweek, losing 2-0 at home to Notts County. As Sunderland found out at the DW a week after the Latics' 9-1 loss to Spurs though, they often react well, so with the Black Cats winless in ten league games, the draw is good value at 3.5. |
