Premiership Football Betting tips and FREE betting offers

Man Utd v Man City- This will be the 152nd Machesert Derby on Sunday, out of the 151 games United have the upper hand of winning 61 games compared to City’s 41.  Out of the 12 trips City have taken to Old Trafford in the Premiership they have only won one, which doesn’t make pleasant reading if you are a City fan!!

Premiership Betting tip- In derby games you are never sure what’s going to happen as form goes out the window, although saying that both team’s form has been pretty good (United 1 defeat,City undefeated in the Premiership).  One thing that we can almost guarantee is that there will be passion and passion usually means fouls and yellow cards! Lets look at players who are likely to play and pick up yellows, Scholes is suspended for this game so lets back Fletcher & Evra for United and Nigel de Jong for City, back them all on Betfair (prices no available at present).  Lets all hope for some tasty challenges!

There’s alot of speculation that Roy Keane will allow striker Anthony Stokes to go out on loan. There’s no doubt that ex-United captain Keane is able to give words of wisdom that will inspire any player, but the following quote looks to be a back handed compliment to Stokes:

…….Keane said on Sunday: “Anthony would benefit from going out and getting 20 games. He’s good enough to go and play in the Championship.”‘

After the international friendlies mid-week it’s back to the Premiership. Portsmouth vs. Man Utd looks to be an interesting match, United are under strength in their second game so another draw may be on the cards. Arsenal take on Fulham, surely another 3 points for the Gunners and another step closer for us to winning our ‘Top at the end of month- August’ bet?  If only betting was  that easy!!

Betting tip-  Liverpool v Middlesbrough, Torres has picked up where left off last season and has already opened his goal scoring account.  Back him to score at anytime (odds of 2.04 on Betfair) and to be first goal scorer (odds of 4.6).  Hopefully Benitez won’t be in his rotating moods and he’ll let the Spanish hitman start the game.

Tottenham v Sunderland- It’s always interesting to see an ex player come up against his old club,  Steed Malbranque was one of the better Tottenham players last year, and he’ll line up against them for Sunderland.  As a fun bet, back him to score at anytime tomorrow, odds of 6.50 on William Hill. Chimbonda will be another player to look out for.

UPDATE:  Not a very good start the season at all for us on the betting front, I’m feeling a bit like Paul Jewell’s Derby who haven’t won in the league since September 2007, hopefully we won’t need to wait that long for a winner!!  Malbranque nearly scored against his old club and the fun bet nearly came off, only the cross bar got in the way.  Torres couldn’t win our main bet of the day either, making it a miserable a weekend of betting.
