Premier League Preview
Manchester City remain unbeaten after 14 matches, but spread buyers of their outright Premier League index will be aware that Roberto Mancini’s side have another tricky game on Monday. Spread buyers of Manchester United’s outright index will recognise this as an opportunity to close the gap at the top, given the Red Devils face Wolves at home on Saturday before City travel to Stamford Bridge.
Andre Villas- Boas’ side hammered Valencia on Tuesday evening to secure their place in the last 16 of the Champions League and spread buyers of their win index will be hoping the side can win their third successive game. Chelsea have won their past two league matches 3-0 and anyone looking for a spread bet on the match supremacy market will be hoping the side can keep a third clean sheet in four fixtures..
Spread punters interested in the match supremacy market will also be intrigued to learn that both games between these clubs last year were won to nil. Chelsea have won three of the last four home league matches against City, scoring nine times in those victories. .
Even though City lost at Stamford Bridge on their last visit, their game in West London in the 2009/10 campaign ended in a 4-2 win and that will please buyers of the visitor’s win index. Total goal buyers will have fond memories of that clash and will also be happy to learn that City have averaged 3.4 goals per league game since August. Any spread enthusiast intent on selling total goals will point to the fact that neither league game in 2010/11 produced more than two goals..
Sporting Index’s total goal minutes market will likely generate plenty of discussion as City’s 4-2 triumph in February last year produced an impressive 391 points. Spread buyers of total goal minutes will also take encouragement that there were two late goals in City’s last visit to Stamford Bridge as the sum reached 168 points.
There were 11 cautions issued in Chelsea’s two games against City last campaign, but it’s the meeting in West London during the 2010/11 term that will have buyers of the bookings spread most excited. That contest produced two dismissals as Juliano Belletti and Michael Ballack saw red in a fixture that accumulated a total of 90 points, to the delight of spread buyers that afternoon.
Before Monday’s game, Sunderland welcome Blackburn to the Stadium of Light and buyers of their win index will be eager the side can get a third successive home league win against Rovers. Yakubu’s player performance spread might attract attention after the Nigerian scored four times in Rovers’ last outing – his individual goal minutes reached 204 points.
Those spread punters looking to buy the match supremacy will be happy to hear that the Black Cats didn’t concede in two league games against Rovers last term, while they scored three in the most recent game on Wearside.
Sporting Index’s ‘time of first match goal’ market may also be one for spread bettors given the opener in Sunderland’s last two games against Rovers has arrived in the 11th and 21st minute respectively.
