Bet365 on this weekend's football

With only a few weeks left of the season, time is running out to get back any losses, so it's time to get the punting boots on. First up, play-off chasing Preston play Wigan, who, like last season, have surrendered top-spot and now stand on the verge of having to made do with the play-offs. Preston's home form has been excellent this season, having not lost at Deepdale in the Championship since early November, and they are playing well enough of late to warrant a bet at 6/4. The teatime encounter between Bolton and Chelsea offers us another decent bet, albeit at more speculative odds. Chelsea are taking their time to get over the Premiership winning line and, whatever the result at the Bridge on Wednesday night, there is value in opposing the champions elect here. Bolton, who drew at Stamford Bridge in the reverse, have had a clear week to prepare for this, and must be worth a few quid at 11/4. Sunday's live game between Charlton and United is not obvious betting material but, with Charlton sinking like a stone in the Premiership after a decent start, United look nailed on for victory at 8/13. That price is not going to make us rich so, with the Addicks managing only one clean sheet in their last seven games, the alternative is to go for more than 2.5 goals at Evens. The 7/2 on Ruud van Nistelrooy to score first looks worth taking too, especially as we'll give you your money back if he scores the last goal in the game instead!
