Premier League Preview
Spread bettors that bought goals over the weekend will have been delighted to see another round of fixtures littered with poor defending and clinical finishing. A total of 35 goals were scored, before Stoke’s game against Newcastle, at an average of 3.9 per game. Spread buyers of Manchester City’s outright index will have been pleased to see another win against Wolves, that maintained the five point gap at the top and they have a chance to extend their run against QPR next.
The league leaders remain unbeaten this season and spread buyers of their win index at Lotfus Road will be happy to find they have won their previous six matches across all competitions. Neil Warnock’s side have won just one at home in the league this year, which might make spread sellers of City’s win index think twice. Those spread enthusiasts that enjoy a bet on the match supremacy market will likely have seen that the goals continue to fly in for City on their travels. Spread sellers of the match supremacy may be a little concerned that City dropped their only points of the season when on the road, following a 2-2 draw at Craven Cottage.
The visitors have bagged 20 goals in four away league games, averaging five per game and that’ll likely spark debate amongst those spread bettors addressing the total goals market.
Sunday’s first live game sees bottom club Wigan take on Wolves looking to pick up their third successive league win against their next opponents. Spread buyers of the home side’s win index should be aware that the Latics have lost their past six league games on the spin. Those looking at Wolves’ win index will be interested to learn that Mick McCarthy’s side are also winless in six league outings – losing on five occasions.
Spread punters interested in the bookings index market for the game at Molineux may have spotted that there have been two red cards issued in the past three league meetings involving these two clubs. Those spread bettors looking to sell the bookings index could argue that there were only four cautions in the most recent game between Wolves and Wigan at Molineux. In contrast, Wolves’ home league game against Wigan in the 2009/10 season saw two dismissals and a bookings index total of 110 points.
Tottenham head to Craven Cottage for the final league game of the weekend and spread sellers of Fulham’s win index will be hoping the side lose their third successive game against Sunday’s opponents. There have been plenty of first half goals scored in recent meetings between the two clubs and the average time of Spurs’ opener in the past three games against the Cottagers currently stands at 33 minutes
The total goal minutes market may also appeal to spread buyers as there have been some high totals across Fulham’s past two home league games. Everton’s 3-1 win in the most recent game saw two 90th minute goals and a total of 250 points, while the game before accumulated 258 points.
