Crunch Time For Liverpool In
Pivotal Premiership Clash
Last week the Premiership
big-boys satisfied the legion of accumulator backers who
like to perm them when facing the league's lesser lights.
Arsenal trounced Watford 3-0, Chelsea had a tougher time at
Reading and paid a heavy price for their 1-0 victory, with a
head injury to Petr Cech that may keep him out for the rest
of the season, while Man Utd came from behind with the
assistance of Giggs and Rooney to comfortably beat Wigan.
The key thing to remember with accumulators is that the
inherent commission in each bet is multiplied with each leg,
so the reduced margin that Pinnacle
Sports offers - up
to 60% better than most other sportsbooks - becomes even
more significant for long term profitability.
Unlike last week, there
are few Premiership fixtures that leap off the schedule as
solid bankers. Chelsea are fairly warm order with Pinnacle
Sports 2.13 (-1.5), for their home fixture against
Portsmouth, 1.813 (+1.5), for two obvious reasons. Jose
Mourinho has never seen his side lose a home league game,
and the Blues have beaten Pompey each of the six times
they've met in the Premiership (by an aggregate of
14-0).
Without doubt the
weekend's biggest game is at Old Trafford, where Manchester
United face Liverpool, in a pivotal fixture in the
Premiership race. The Pool have lost three straight league
ties on the road, and their already fading hopes of a first
title for 16years would almost vanish with defeat at the
Theatre of Dreams. As Rafa Benitez' side have lost seven of
the last eight league meetings, Pinnacle Sports's quote of
United 2.03 (-0.5) may prove popular, and any bettors who
like to swim against the tide, can back Liverpool 1.901
(+0.5).
The London derby between
Charlton and Watford, is equally important, but for
different reasons. The clubs occupy the bottom two league
positions, and though the Premiership is just eight games
old, both managers are looking nervously over their
shoulders. In his first season in charge, Iain Dowie's
Addicks have won just one game and lost the other seven,
which for side who normally race out of the blocks, is a
real concern. Pinnacle Sports make Charlton slight
favourites, 2.0 (-0.5), to turn things round while the
Hornets are 1.926 (+0.5) to deliver on the promise they've
shown, despite failing to register a single win.
Another boss under
pressure is West Ham's Alan Pardew, whose side haven't won
since the first day of the season. The club has the added
pressure of potential buyers circling the club, as they
visit White Hart Lane, where they haven't won in six visits.
The Hammers are 2.11 (+0.5 ) with Pinnacle Sports while
Spurs, are 1.826 (-0.5). Bear in mind that, along with
Blackburn, Tottenham played an away UEFA Cup tie on
Thursday, while Newcastle fought a home tie. It is often the
case that club's suffer a hang-over after these
exertions.
PinnacleSports' has prices
on five English divisions as well over 40 other domestic
European leagues, with a 1.98/1.98 style Asian Handicap
pricing model that gives punters the assurance of fixed odds
betting and guaranteed liquidity with exchange like pricing,
but unlike an exchange, Pinnacle Sports never charges
commission on winning bets.
This Sunday in Spain sees
the latest instalment of one of soccer's greatest rivalries
- 'El Clasico' - as the two giants of Spanish football,
Barcelona and Real Madrid, meet at the Bernabeu Stadium. It
was in this fixture last season that Barca stamped their
authority on La Liga, winning 3-0 on their way to a 2nd
consecutive title. Under new coach, Fabio Capello, Real has
struggled at the Bernabeu Stadium, winning just one of their
three home games. Los Galacticos' 4-1 midweek Champions
league win in Romania was probably their finest performance
of the season but Barcelona, the reigning European Champions
have lost just once in five visits. Pinnacle Sports can
barely separate the sides with Madrid very slight favourites
at 1.935 (0/scratch) and Barca 1.990 off the level
handicap.
