BETFAIR SATURDAY MAY 2ND PREMIERSHIP BETTING TIPS
Chelsea vs Fulham Betting TipsChelsea are strong favourites for this one, but Fulham have been able to throw a few curveballs this season. I think Guus Hiddink will have his eye on next week's Champions League fixtures and that could influence selection. Chelsea pay 1.56 on Betfair while Fulham sit at 8.4. The draw pays 4.0 and I feel that's not a bad bet. Cech was in good form on Tuesday and I think he'll get the job done. 2-1 to Chelsea pays 9.4. Man City vs Blackburn Betting TipsBlackburn will have to look at this one as a winnable game. Listed at a long 4.3, I think they are the best-qualified team for an upset victory right now. They need the points more than City and they'll be looking to get stuck-in for the full 90. This one will be very tight, but with City at 2.04, I have to go for Blackburn here. 2-1 to Rovers pays 17.0. Portsmouth vs Arsenal Betting TipsYou won't find better odds on a Big 4 team up against a relegation candidate! Arsenal are laid on Betfair at 2.36 and that's a very very solid bet. Arshavin will be back on the pitch and looking to make a statement after his team failed to score on Wednesday. Pompey pay out at 3.55 with the draw at 3.35. I like Arsenal all the way here at 3-1, which pays 21.0.Middlesbrough vs Manchester United Betting TipsUnited are the odds-on (1.62) favourites here, but remember that Middlesbrough pulled a reverse at a similar stage last season. I think this Middlesbrough are a bit shakier than late last year and their 7.2 odds are indicative of that. United will be looking to run up the score in this one if they can notch two in the first half. We are seeing a United just kicking it up a gear for the final few matches. 3-0 to United pays 15.0 but I would keep an eye on the half-time/full-time market with United listed to win both halves at 2.6. That's a very hot bet. Stoke vs West Ham Betting TipsA real juicy fixture here with a slightly in-form Stoke listed at 2.46 up against West Ham at 3.3. At this point, I would say that Stoke need the points a bit more, but both teams are effectively safe. Well done on Stoke because things looked pretty bleak back in November. This one won't be one for the purists and I think 1-0 each-way is your best bet. 1-0 in Stoke's favour pays 8.2 with 1-0 to West Ham at 9.8. Not much between these two, so I'm going for the each-way. Tottenham vs West Brom Betting TipsSpurs are heavy favourites in this one, arguably the shortest odds of the weekend, at 1.52. West Brom are at 8.0, but I actually half-fancy the draw at 4.4. When teams are virtually condemned to the drop sometimes they add a bit of extra resiliency as the pressure is off. I think Tottenham are still far from the finished product and I expect a lot of departures in the summer. I think a 1-1 draw is a solid bet at 9.4. Wigan vs Bolton Betting TipsI don't think this one is going to be a bumper match or anything, but Bolton will smell some blood here. Wigan are injury-hit at the moment and are having trouble finding a consistent supply of goals. I think 1-0 to Bolton is the right result, but I wouldn't want to sit through this one, personally. You're looking at 11.5.
