Premiership Spread Betting this weekend
Liverpool v Man Utd (Saturday: 12.45 Sky Sports 1)Liverpool may have conquered Catalonia, but rivals United are always awkward opponents in the Premiership. They haven't beaten them in five Premiership games, losing four of them in the process. Sporting Index reckon both sides will cancel each other out and predict a draw. Fergie's side conceded two at Reading and have only three clean sheets in nine Premiership matches to their name. Kuyt and co. should fancy themselves to get in amongst the goals and Sporting Index reckon Pool will score 1.15-1.35 goals. Kuyt has been talking up his sides chances, but will he add to his nine league goals this season? Sporting Index prices his goal minutes spread at 13-16 minutes. Ronaldo on the other hand has 16 goals this season - all in the Premiership, and is priced at 12-15 minutes for his goal minutes market. Sellers might be more interested on that spread, which hasn't been the norm this season - Liverpool haven't conceded a goal at home in the last nine Premiership games. However, if the Red Devils do manage to get past Pepe Reina, will it be as early on as Tuesday's FA Cup tie at Reading? Sporting Index predict the first match goal to be scored between the 37th and 40th minutes. If and when the first goal is scored, will more follow? Goals haven't exactly been in great supply with five goals scored in their last five encounters. Sporting Index reckon there'll be 2.3 to 2.5 goals scored. Sellers will no doubt take note.Portsmouth v Chelsea (Saturday: 17.15 Prem Plus)Portsmouth are in a right rut at the moment and were thumped 3-0 at Blackburn last week. With only one clean sheet in 13 matches, Sporting Index reckon Chelsea will score two goals at Fratton Park. You would have to look at Drogba repeating his Cardiff heroics and Sporting Index certainly have. They're quoting his goal minutes spread at 22-25 minutes for the Ivorian who's scored in five of Chelsea's last seven fixtures. Pompey's chance of getting anything from this game can only be described as slim and grim according to Sporting Index. They've seen defeat in this encounter seven times on the trot and have only scored one goal in the process. Mourinho is predicted to outfox Harry and lead his side to win this by a one goal margin. And who would bet against that? Pompey are firing blanks up front and have only four goals in seven Premiership matches to show for it. They can look to Kanu for inspiration - the Nigerian striker scored a hat-trick against Chelsea when playing for the Gunners. Sporting Index have priced his goal minutes spread at 8-11 minutes. Chelsea saw a fair share of the cards in the Carling Cup final and a trip to the south coast is always one to get the pulses racing. With five bookings in their October fixture, there could be just as many cards on show this time around.West Ham v Spurs (Sunday: 16.00 Sky Sports 1)No win in 10 Premiership matches and now up against your arch nemesis at home. If defeat against Charlton was the dagger to the heart, Sporting Index reckon Spurs will twist it good and proper with victory at Upton Park. They're predicted to win this by a margin of 0.3-0.5 goals. But wait, this is a derby and West Ham have taken three points off Spurs in six of the last eight home matches. Could they breathe life into their relegation battle? Battling for everything will be the order of the day from the home fans given their pitiful surrender at the Valley, so bookings could be an interesting market. There were seven yellow cards when the Hammers lost 1-0 at the Lane in October and punters could expect another heated encounter. With only one goal in their last four Premiership matches, can Curbishley's strikers find their shooting boots? Harewood and Cole have four league goals between them all season, but what a stage to open your goalscoring account for Tevez. Sporting Index price his goal minutes spread at 9-12 minutes. Berbatov was brilliant at home against Bolton and has scored on his last two away games. Keep an eye on him with his goal minutes spread priced at 15-18 minutes with Sporting Index. £200 Football Bet for New Clients**Open a Sporting Index account*, place only five sports bets and claim a £200 football bet on any live Premiership, FA Cup, Championship or Champions League match.
