Premiership Football Betting tips and FREE betting offers

There seems to be as much news off the pitch, if not more, than what is actually happening on it.

Before I get started I agree with the sentiments on a fans banner at Old Trafford that asked the question “Who’s the whore now Wayne?”

Much as I admire Sir Alex Ferguson I would have let poor Mr Rooney go. However, having said that, I will concede that Sir Alex knows what he doing. How much more money do you want to stuff into your pants Wayne? You’ve a lot to prove now mate. I don’t think you’re up to it. However you won’t be making a trip to the dole queue like a lot of the fans who pay your wages.

Pick of Last Weekend’s Fixtures

LIVERPOOL FC 2-1 BLACKBURN ROVERS

My faith in Liverpool was upheld at the weekend with this 2-1 victory over Blackburn. Yes it is too soon to say that the revival is under way. However the victory should help to lift the team’s spirits and confidence a bit. I had hoped that the victory would have lifted them out of the relegation zone but that will need to wait for another week or two. The goal scorers were Kyrgiakos (48) and Torres (53) for Liverpool with Carragher scoring an own goal for Blackburn (50).

Premiership Betting tip

Liverpool meet Bolton Wanderers this coming weekend. The odds are sitting at 5/2 for a Bolton win at home, 11/8 for Liverpool and 12/5 for a draw.

Here are the results for the most recent meetings between the two teams.

30/01/2010  Liverpool 2-0 Bolton

29/08/2009  Bolton 2-3 Liverpool

26/12/2008  Liverpool 3-0 Bolton

The question is, can Liverpool lift their game to reflect these recent scores? The betting suggests a close tie. I think Roy Hodgson will be able to lift his team to a close victory and get the team fired up for the rest of the season.

Elsewhere in the Premiership there were no upsets with Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal winning their games, meaning that Manchester City slipped up to Arsenal.

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)

Premiership betting tips: Chelsea v Manchester United- This Sunday it’s a massive top of the table clash between last year’s Premiership runners up and Champions.  Alot will say that Rio Ferdinand will be a big miss for United, but anyone who saw him come against Torres two weeks ago will know that he’s not been at his best in recent weeks.  Out of the 34 times the teams have met in the Premiership, the Blues have won 10  and the Reds 10, with the rest of the games drawn.  The odds for a Chelsea win is 2.06 (21/20) and United are at odds of 4.3 (7/2). 

Both teams won’t want to lose this game and both teams will surely settle for a draw if the chance should occur, you can back these at odds of 3.45(12/5) on Betfair.   But the main betting tip of the day should be to back Drogba to score at anytime, he’s been in good form lately and will be a handful for an untried United defensive pairing.

Premiership betting tips:Fulham v Liverpool-Liverpool pulled off a great performance against their bitter rivals Manchester United last Sunday , with Fulham fighting back against Manchester City to earn a well deserved point.  The Reds will be without Gerrard again and right back Johnson will miss the game too.  It was a big result for Liverpool last week but these are the games which they have struggled to win so far this season.  You can back the draw at 12/5 (3.45)on Betfair, a Liverpool win is 21/20 (2.04) and a Fulham win at odds of 7/2 (4.4). 

Fulham have shown that they are a tough team to beat and Liverpool may find this a tricky fixture (only scoring in the last minute last season to win 1-0).  Backing the draw is tempting, but lets take a risk and go for a Fulham win, lay Liverpool if you don’t like the risk factor (so you win if Liverpool draw or lose).
