Premier League Preview
AThe Manchester clubs were once again making the headlines over the weekend as spread bettors witnessed both United and City land convincing league victories. Spread punters buying either clubs’ outright index will be delighted with their 100% start to the season.
The action gets underway with Arsenal’s trip to Ewood Park and their spread supporters will have been happy to get their first win of the season last weekend. Spread buyers of the Gunners’ win index will be pleased to see Blackburn rock-bottom without a league triumph to their name. Rovers have yet to score more than one goal in a game and they have lost both their home league fixtures since August.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s side have a tough assignment this weekend and spread buyers of their win index against Chelsea will be hoping for their fifth consecutive win on the bounce this term. Spread buyers of United’s win index will be pleased to find that the side have won their last 17 home league fixtures. Those spread enthusiasts looking at the match supremacy market may have seen that in United’s opening two home league matches they have outscored their opponents 11-2.
Spread punters hoping to sell the match supremacy should note that these two sides met on five occasions across all competitions last year and United won four of those. Further concern for spread bettors selling the match supremacy is that United won their two competitive home games against the Blues last season. Chelsea did win at Old Trafford in the 2009/10 campaign, which will offer encouragement to spread bettors selling the match supremacy.
Total goal buyers have had a field day in United games this season as the club have hit 18 goals in their four Premier League wins this term. The average number of goals in the last five Chelsea versus United matches is 2.6.
The Red Devils scored eight in their most recent home league contest and the total goal minutes that afternoon reached an impressive 583 points. Total goal minute buyers may also be interested to know that against Spurs the sum reached 224 points – with all three goals arriving in the second half. Wayne Rooney’s player performance spread will have sparked plenty of debate among spread bettors following successive hat-tricks against Arsenal and Bolton.
The early Sunday match sees Liverpool travel to White Hart Lane after a disappointing defeat at Stoke. Spread bettors buying the home side’s win index will be happy to find that Spurs beat Liverpool in their two league games last term and have won their past four games across all competitions when playing them at home.
Spread sellers of the bookings index might be intrigued to learn that there has not been a red card in the past ten meetings between Spurs and Liverpool. The average bookings total across those ten matches currently stands at 27, which will make spread buyers of the bookings index think carefully.
