VBET’s football guru considers three value bets on another top-class weekend of Premier League action:
FULHAM TO DRAW AT LEEDS
VBET Odds: 31/10
Leeds are hot favourites, but we’ve seen plenty of shrewd cash on the draw.
The Yorkshire club became the darlings of media last weekend with a maverick display at Anfield. We understand the love for ‘Bielsa ball’, but they conceded four goals and lost the game.
Fulham were well beaten by Arsenal on the opening day, though this is surely a game Scott Parker pencilled in as a chance to earn crucial points long before everyone suddenly considered Leeds world-beaters.
It could prove much tighter than many pundits are expecting and odds of 31/10 about the Cottagers leaving Elland Road with a point looks a value call.
ARSENAL TO BEAT WEST HAM 1-0
VBET Odds: 7/1
Arsenal are a good thing to win at the Emirates, but we are not expecting a cakewalk for the home side.
David Moyes is already under pressure following an awful home defeat against Newcastle last weekend and is likely to have spent the last week working on his side’s defensive weaknesses.
This could well be a textbook case of the Hammers parking the bus until their resistance is eventually broken.
With this in mind, a classic ‘1-0 to the Arsenal’ has to come into the reckoning at odds of 7/1 with VBET.
SOUTHAMPTON TO BEAT SPURS
VBET Odds: 11/5
Spurs should, in theory, have too much for Southampton – but that’s not where the money is going.
Our traders have this week seen lots of interest about a Saints win at odds of 11/5 with VBET.
Spurs have looked pretty shabby in the early throes of the season and might still be jaded – mentally and physically – from an uninspiring trip to Bulgaria on Thursday.
Southampton struggled at Palace on the opening weekend, but underrated manager Ralph Hasenhuttl will fancy his chances of seizing upon Tottenham’s deficiencies.
We think so, too, and consider a home win the best football bet of the weekend.
