The most surprising result of the week must of been Britney Spears picking up three MTV awards, whatever next? Theo Walcott scoring a hat-trick? Surely not. Well we thought it would be the end of the world on Wednesday, but Capello and his men put in an impressive performance against the Croatians. If only these bunch of part time footballers could play like that more often, then they may have a chance of qualifying for major tournament.
Liverpool v Man Utd- This Saturday lunchtime it’s the big match, Liverpool come up against the team they haven’t beaten in 6 consecutive matches at Anfield. The last time Liverpool picked up a point against United was in 2005, the score was 0-0. The odds point in favour of Man Utd, bookmakers Paddy Power have them to win at 2.4 and for the home team to win the game at odds of 3.0.
Betting tip- This fixture has produced under 2.5 goals in the last 5 seasons and the odds of it occurring again from Betfair is 1.58. Knowing my luck it will be 3 goals in the first 15 minutes, but I’ll be following the stats and backing unders as these games seem to always pretty tight. This match usually has some tasty challenges, so there should be some yellow cards shown, If you can find a bookings market on an of the betting sites then I would back small, Mascherano, Scholes and Carragher all to be booked.
UPDATE: - An early goal from United set this game up to have a potential of alot of goals. Unfortunately for me then I backed under 2.5 goals. Liverpool played the better football overall and deserved the three points, but without the mistakes made from United it didn’t look like they were going to score without Torres playing. Hopefully there will be a change of betting luck soon!!
