Sure enough, there are no longer easy football games at this point of the Premier League season, but these three teams that we’ll be looking at are capable of making online betting a tad bit more interesting.
Leicester, Crystal Palace and Liverpool return in the midweek at the back of convincing wins in Week 30, and their rich vein of form suggests that we could be in for a live betting delight when they step on the field again.
Leicester City vs Sunderland (April 5, 02:45 GMT+8)
Who would have thought that Craig Shakespeare will become the only English manager to win his first four league matches? Many criticised the Foxes for the sacking of Claudio Ranieri, but it looks like a genius move now that they are 13th and six points above the drop.
Jamie Vardy was on target for Leicester on three of those wins, and I expect him to continue his scoring run against David Moyes’ Sunderland who have conceded nine goals in a five-game winless stretch.
It’s worthy of note that the Foxes have scored at least two goals per game since Shakespeare took over, so how about Total Goal 2-3 @ 1.92 for a 🌟🌟 bet?
Southampton vs Crystal Palace (April 6, 02:45 GMT+8)
“Bet you never saw that one coming.” This is what Sam Allardyce said after the relegation-threatened Eagles took down Chelsea in front of their home fans.
Indeed, Palace are playing like a Big Sam side now, and with Wilfried Zaha at the heart of their recent success, I doubt that they will stop (or can be stopped!).
Southampton will be an intriguing matchup considering that they tend to perform well against teams on the lower half of the table; however, I think Palace have the momentum on their side. With that said, another 🌟🌟 tip for me is Crystal Palace Asian Handicap +0.75 @ 1.95.
Liverpool vs Bournemouth (April 5, 03:00 GMT+8)
The Reds are undefeated in four with Jurgen Klopp becoming the first club manager to win his first three Merseyside derbies. So to say that they are playing well is an understatement.
Nevertheless, they can’t take it easy in the next game as they will be facing a Bournemouth team that defeated them, 4-3, in their previous meeting this campaign. And they have to do so without their injured star Sadio Mane who had a hand on two of their goals in that match.
This will certainly be tough for the Reds without their 24-year-old dynamo, but they should be able to take advantage of playing at home where they have a penchant for scoring early. Hence, Liverpool on First Half Asian Handicap -0.75 @ 2.04 isn’t a bad 🌟 punt.
