Premiership Football Betting tips and FREE betting offers

A near capacity crowd at Stamford Bridge could be forgiven for thinking “here we go again.” The 41,828 fans who watched Chelsea and Arsenal were treated to some exciting football.

However it seems yet again that no one will touch Chelsea this season with a satisfying 2 – 0 win over Arsenal…

Drogba did the business as usual hitting the back of the net in 39 minutes. Arsenal tried hard to find an equaliser but were not up to the task before Alex put the game beyond Arsenal’s reach with a strike in the 85th minute.

To sum up, this simply meant that there were no upsets for the Bookies.

What is interesting of course is that Liverpool appears to have been to sold New England Sports Ventures a group that owns the Boston Red Sox. However will this change Liverpool’s fortunes as the club drop into the relegation zone for the first time in 46 years?

As ever we have a number of interesting games coming up over the weekend.

My picks are Bolton Wanderers v Stoke City, Manchester United v West Bromwich Albion, and Newcastle v Wigan.

The Manchester game is tantalising in that I am waiting to see if Man Utd will slip up again. However the bookies are not taking the bait. At 10/1 for a WBA away win it could put some cash in your pocket for the night in the pub.

The Bolton Wanderers / Stoke game is too close to call at 11/10 for a home win, 9/4 for a draw and 9/4 for an away win.

On balance I think that I am going to go for the Newcastle / Wigan game. At 4/5 for a home win, 23/10 for a draw and 10/3 for an away win. This is my bet of the week. Don’t mention Chelsea by the way.

Leading goal scorers to date are;

6 Berbatov (Manchester United)

6 Drogba (Chelsea)

6 Malouda (Chelsea)

5 Bent (Sunderland)

4 Elmander (Bolton Wanderers)

4 Tevez (Manchester City)

4 Carroll (Newcastle United)

4 Walcott (Arsenal)

Fulham v Chelsea- Fulham have beaten Chelsea only one in the last 30 years.  Boa Morte had the winning strike for Fulham in 2006.  Chelsea had the best away record last year in the Premiership with 14 wins, picking up 44 points.  Only 5 teams last season had a better home record than Fulham in the league, making them Craven Cottage a hard place to visit.

Premiership Betting tip-  Lampard was on the scoresheet mid-week with a penalty.  Back him to score anytime against Chelsea’s London rivals with Betfair, you can get odds of 2.92.

Monday proved to be a hectic and chaotic day, nothing to do with the snow storms that brought most of England to a standstill, but transfer deadline day of course!!!  Premiership Betting Banter can exclusively confirm to it’s readers that Harry Redknapp failed with his bids to bring back Mabbutt, Sheringham and Anderton back to Tottenham.

Tottenham v Arsenal-This is the 144th London Derby, will it be another thriller like in October where we saw 8 goals?  Spurs have a poor record against Arsenal in the the league, not beating them in 18 Premiership games.  Both clubs need points for very different reasons, Arsenal are looking for Champions League qualification and Spurs will be looking to secure their Premiership status.

Betting tip-Robbie Keane makes his return to Tottenham against their deadly rivals Arsenal. Surely it must be fate?  Robbie Keane to score at anytime on Betfair is priced at 2.68 (13/8), back him to score on Sunday.

It’s been all ‘crazy’ talk this week in the world of Premiership football.  Although it’s obvious Liverpool manager Benitez is showing no signs of this crazyness. 

Aston Villa v Wigan-Villa will be looking to win their 5th consecutive game against Steve Bruce’s wigan.  This will be an interesting game as these clubs have played each other 7 times and the home team has only come out as the winner once.  Lately Wigan’s away form has meant they have lost to Manchester United and Manchester City.

Betting tip- Last years corresponding fixture say Wigan beat Aston Villa 2-0, but Villa have already beaten Wigan once this season.  Looking on Betfair ‘Over 2.5 goals’ looks to be a tempting bet at odds of 2.1 (11/10).  With players like Zaki and Agbonlahor, there should be goals in this match. 

Also go for a small bet for ex-wigan player Heskey to continue scoring for Aston Villa at odds of 2.8 (to score at anytime).
