Premier League Betting Tips March 28/30
Tottenham host an all-but-relegated Portsmouth side on Saturday and the odds are about right for this one. Although you’ll need a good bank to start with to make significant profit from this game, Tottenham are as good as you will find for a sure bet this weekend. Grateful to hold onto their 4th place midweek following Manchester City’s first home loss of the season, Spurs have a tough run in and nothing but 3 points here will give them a chance of Champions League qualification for next season. A prime candidate for the asian handicap too following Portsmouth’s hammering at home to Chelsea on Wednesday.
Wolves are on a bit of form at the moment. So are the visitors to Molineux on Saturday. Wolves are the only side in the Premier League to have more points away from home than they do on their own soil. Everton are the only side to have won at Manchester City in the league this season also. Hoping they won’t suffer the blues from that result and maintain their outside push for European qualification, Everton are at great value to win on Saturday.
Manchester United need to win to maintain their Premier League title defence ambitions. If Arsenal beat Birmingham at 3pm, United will be in need of 3 points to keep the pressure on their London competitors. Although Sir Alex Ferguson’s side were beaten by Owen Coyle’s former side, the current Bolton manager will have to cause a second shock of the season to pick up 3 points here. Manchester United and Wayne Rooney in particular are on much better form now, and although Bolton have had a few good results recently I cannot see them getting one here. Bolton’s defence is too weak to hold out the likes of Rooney and if Paul Robinson’s lining up at left back, expect United to have success down their right wing and potentially win themselves a penalty against the rash tackling full back. Just under halves, United are a good bet here.
Looking to bounce back from their 2-0 home, Manchester City host a Wigan side who’s late winner against Burnley last weekend set them on course for another season in the Premier League. Battling for 4th place, Manchester City cannot afford to drop points again. Against Wigan they shouldn’t. Roberto Mancini, although he will be looking on from the stands, will want a reaction from his players. We should see this on Monday night. Expect City to pick up 3 points as they continue to push for a European spot under a manager who has a higher win percentage in the Premier League than any other previous manager City have had.
