Favourable Bets result: 5/13
Underdog Bets result: 1/5
THT Favourable Bets Overall Result: 196/374
Everton vs Liverpool
Everton’s failure to get the better of Liverpool could come back to haunt them on Saturday. While Big Sam could equip his side with an approach not normally seen in Merseyside derbies thus far, expect the Toffees to come short, especially with the kind of form that Liverpool are currently in.
Favourable Bets
1. Liverpool to win @ 1.90
2. Liverpool Clean Sheet – YES @ 2.62
Underdog Bets
1. Liverpool Asian Handicap – 1.5 @ 3.300
Manchester City vs Manchester United
A derby that could have had more riding on it, had City not lost 3-0 to Liverpool in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Quarter-Finals. Pep Guardiola will surely rest key players now, which gives Manchester United a chance to secure a win over their arch-rivals.
Expect this match to be a close affair nonetheless, but one where United hold the advantage.
Favourable Bets
1. Manchester United Asian Handicap + 0.5 @ 2.070
2. Both Teams to Score – YES @ 1.75
Underdog Bets
1. Manchester United to win @ 4.33
2. Romelu Lukaku to score anytime @ 3.25
3. Alexis Sanchez to score anytime @ 3.40
Arsenal vs Southampton
Southampton are in dire straits and come against an Arsenal side that have regained themselves in the recent weeks. The Saints are expected to come out fighting, knowing well enough that a loss here could condemn them to the Championship for next season. But, Arsenal edge it for us based on form.
Favourable Bets
1. Arsenal to win @ 1.57
2. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to score anytime @ 1.83
Underdog Bets
1. Result – Arsenal and Both Teams to Score – YES @ 3.00
Chelsea vs West Ham
West Ham’s win over Chelsea in December will be fresh in the minds of the Hammers’ faithfuls. And with the Blues not exactly in the best of form, David Moyes will be looking to get a shock win under his belt in order to ease more pressure off the owners and steer the club towards confirming their Premier League status for the upcoming season. Expect goals in this match.
Favourable Bets
1. West Ham Asian Handicap + 2.0 @ 1.625
2. Both Teams to Score – YES @ 2.05
Underdog Bets
1. Javier Hernandez to score anytime @ 5.00
