Bet of the weekend on Man Utd v Chelsea

Here's an interesting statistic for you on tomorrows game at Old Trafford...

No team in the Premier League has scored more goals in the last 15 minutes of a game than either Manchester United or Chelsea, who have both netted 19 times.

Now as they are about to face each other I had to have a look at what prices were on offer, and some had the odds about right in my opinion, as low as 1/2 in places. But one bookie has gone out on a limb and stands way apart from the others...

Bet365 are going 5/6 that a goal is scored after the 72nd minute

If you are looking for value in a bet, which we all should be, that offer is just too good to turn down so I suggest you pile on it now. Yes nothing in life is guaranteed (apart from death and our guaranteed profit bets) but you have to admit that is mighty tempting!

North London derby

It's the North London derby tonight and before we go into detail let me just mention that we have a guaranteed profit bet set out for you on the game, with details available HERE. It's well worth a try as it gives a great profit and we all like a bit of risk free profit now and again.

Onto the match itself now and the bookmakers have Arsenal down as slight favourites for this one at a best priced 8/5 (Paddy Power), but its questionable whether Tottenham should be underdogs for this.

For one, Spurs have had a full 7 days recovery time since their last game while Arsenal played a tough game against Liverpool only last Sunday. Yes Arsenal are still clinging to their title aspirations, especially after Man Utd could only manage a draw at St James Park last night, but Spurs still have a lot to play for themselves, with that all important fourth place still up for grabs.

The main reason for my leanings towards the Lilywhites however, is their superb home record. They have only lost once at home all season in the league, a 1-0 reverse against Wigan way back in August, and since the start of last season have only lost 4 times in 35 games at the lane. They did also beat the Gunners back in November at the Emirates so they are capable of a win against tonights opponents.

The Gunners may have the best away record in the division, with 8 wins from 15 games to date, however they have drawn 4 of the last 5 games and seem to be heading for the seasonal Arsenal fatigue blip right now.

I think the bookies have got this one wrong and the best odds available for a Tottenham victory, 15/8 with Victor Chandler, are very tempting. I'll be plumping for a 'draw no bet' punt however, Tottenham are 21/20 on this market with Boylesports, all other bookies are evens or odds on.

In this evening's other Premier League match, Chelsea take on Birmingham at the bridge. The Brummies aren't exactly prolific goalscorers to date, with only 33 goals from their 32 games this season, but they aren't conceding too many either. In their last 13 games they have conceded more than 2 goals on only 2 occasions so the 6/4 on offer from Paddy Power for under 2.5 goals in the game is very tempting.

I've also got a feeling Mr Torres might nab one tonight, not based on facts or statistics, just a hunch as surely his barren run must come to an end soon. He can be backed at 7/2 with Betfred for the first goal, don't forget we get our money back if he comes on after a goal has been scored.

Nice 6/1 Treble This Evening

Tonight it is the Champions League that takes centre stage, with the 2nd leg of the quarter finals taking place.

Obviously most eyes will be on Old Trafford where Manchester United are worthy favourites against a thoroughly underwhelming Chelsea side. Man Utd made a host of changes at the weekend yet still beat Fulham easily, with their big guns back tonight I cannot see past a United victory. Torres has still yet to score while Drogba's record of 2 goals in 16 games against Manchester United hardly inspires, so if you fancy a bet on tonights game I'd suggest taking the 13/10 on offer at Victor Chandler for a United victory.

Barcelona travel to face Shakhtar Donesk in tonights other tie and the Catalan outfit are all but through after their 5-1 victory in the home leg. Tonight's match in Ukraine could be a different affair however. Without the suspended Andres Iniesta and injured Carles Puyol the Catalans could be vulnerable and a defeat on the night would be no surprise, especially given their poor Champions League away form. Shakhtar look the bet at a best priced 11/4.

Onto tonights league football now and we have another couple of stand out bets available.

Firstly I recommend backing 'over 2.5 goals' in the Derby County v Leeds match. Derby are averaging over 2.5 goals in 65% of their home games this season and have gone over in 6 of their last 7 games. Leeds matches are high scoring affairs too, with 70% of all league matches so far going over. The best available price is 4/5 with BetFred.

Next up I'd recommend backing 'over 2.5 goals' again, this time in the Barnsley v QPR game. Suprisingly the bookmakers think this will be a low scoring affair, with the unders market being favourite. However Barnsley have been scoring goals of late and 3 out of their 4 last matches have gone over 2.5 goals. QPR come into this game on the back of a 4-1 defeat to lowly Scunthorpe and will be looking to get a result here to keep their championship plans on track. The best price available for over 2.5 goals is 6/5 with Sportingbet.

Finally take a look at the Rochdale v Southampton game this evening. Both these teams know where the net is so punt on the 'both teams to score' market at 3/4 with Victor Chandler. Southampton have scored in each of their last 8 matches while Rochdale have only failed to score in 8 of their 40 matches so far this term.

Ignoring the Champions League tips, the league treble pays out at just under 6/1.

Enjoy your midweek, i'll be back tomorrow with a nice little slant on in-play football betting that is certainly paying off right now.
