The word meltdown has been used alot in the news this week, not only to describe the state of the financial markets but also mainly to describe Newcastle manager Joe Kinnear’s press conference. With an estimated 50 swear words directed at the press by Kinnear, he would certainly feel at home in an episode of Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares. After winning two bets in a row, lets how we can continue our run.
Tottenham v Hull- Can Spurs win their first league game this season? Or will they be beaten by Hull at home like their red rivals last week? Hull have yet to lose on the road this season and will definitely give Tottenham a hard test. The last time the two teams played each other in the league, Spurs came out 1-0 winners, but that was in 1978!!
Betting tip (LOSER):Tottenham haven’t looked a threat upfront and it’s very hard to tell where the next goal is coming from, but Hull have yet to keep a clean sheet. If Spurs can get ahead then they’ll have a chance at picking up the three points. But I’ll be looking at the ‘Over 2.5 goals’ market and backing ‘Over 2.5 goals’ at odds of 1.81. It might be interesting to also look into Fraizer Campbell to score against Hull, the team he was on loan to last season(if he starts).
Man City v Liverpool- Richard Dunne is an injury doubt for Manchester City, but Bulgarian Martin Petrov could start. City have won three out of their six league games this season and Liverpool can boast an unbeaten record.
Betting tip (WINNER): City have not scored against Liverpool in the league for over 9 hour of football and the scoreline between the two teams has either been 0-0 or 0-1. But I’m going to go against the odds here and back ‘Over 2.5 goals’ at odds of 2.28 on Betfair. Liverpool have some fantastic attacking players and I will hoping(preying) that City can score at least one goal against their mean defence!! Let’s hope in the selected matches it will be raining goals!!
UPDATE- It was one winning and one losing bet for the weekend, backing over 2.5 goals made an easy winning bet for the City match where the score ended up as 3-2 to Liverpool. Although it was the Spurs match which let us down this weekend, Tottenham just couldn’t break down a resilient Hull defence. Backing over 2.5 goals in a Tottenham match may not prove to be so profitable this season with them finding it hard to hit the back of the net.
