Weekend Football Preview
| Pinnacle Sports has them as 1.962 (-1) favourites to beat Tottenham at Old Trafford. Though Spurs earned draws on their last two visits to the Theatre of Dreams, they have never won a Premiership game at the venue. Pinnacle Sports quote the Londoners 1.962 (+1). Having got his multi-national squad back from international duty in one piece, Jose Mourinho's Chelsea should be warm order to cover (-1.5 & -2) 1.962 at home to Charlton 1.962 (+1.5 & +2). The Addicks' haven't won in 15 away Premiership ties, but left Stamford Bridge last season with heads held high having earned a draw. Boro's topsy-turvy form continued as they followed a home win over the Champions with a 4-0 thumping by Pompey at the Riverside. Manager, Gareth Southgate, will hope for more luck at the Emirates Stadium than Highbury, where Middlesborough lost their last three visits conceding 16 times. Pinnacle Sports go 1.952 (over 2.5 & 3 goals). Sheffield United host Blackburn in a game that could be dubbed the 'Battle of Bramall Lane'. Propping up the Premiership, neither side is yet to win, and in three games have managed just one goal-a-piece so no surprises Pinnacle Sports rate the unders (2 & 2.5) 1.901. It's a tough ask for Watford (2.07, +0.5 & +1) searching for their first win at the Reebok. Bolton (1.862, -0.5 & -1) lost just three times at home last season, beating seven of the bottom eight teams. Harry Redknapp's foreign legion is taking the battle to the Premiership. Portsmouth (1.901, -0.5) are yet to concede, taking seven points from three games. Wigan (2.03, +0.5) are the next visitors to Fratton Park, looking to break a four Premiership game away losing streak. Fulham's 5-1 defeat at Old Trafford suggested they may struggle to improve on their solitary away win last season. They did manage a draw at St.James' Park, and with Geordies struggling for fit strikers, can be backed 1.877 (+0.5 & +1) while Newcastle are rated 2.05 (-0.5 & -1) by Pinnacle Sports.
Man City lost just two of their ten games against the bottom five last season and Pinnacle Sports has them 2.19 (scratch/0) at newboys Reading on Monday. The Citizens, however, have won just two of their last 13 Premiership fixtures, while the Royals are unbeaten in an amazing 23 games at the Madejski. Though life is much tougher in the Premiership, their opening fixtures have been encouraging, and Pinnacle Sports price them 1.775 (scratch/0). Click Here To Visit Pinnacle Sports |
