Listen to the podcast here and read below for a summary of their bets. Make sure you check out the podcast treble as the team landed last week’s at 5/1.
Champions League odds latest
Mark: “None of the teams that finished first in their groups will want to play .
Mark: Spurs are over-priced and I like the 1.784/5 on them winning.
Jake: “Two teams that create chances and concede them. No team has racked up as many non-penalty chances as Villa in the top flight this season. They are rested after last week’s postponement too. Wolves front three is very threatening and entertaining to watch and I’m backing over 2.5 goals at 11/10.”
Mark: “It’s Chelsea all the way in this. They are one of the best bets in the Premier League this weekend. I also like the look of overs. Everton are missing players and I think the balance of their team is off. Chelsea to win and over 1.5 goals at 1.9720/21.”
Jake: “Arsenal deservedly sit in the bottom half of the table. Their expected goals numbers are those of a team around the bottom four, in fact they’re on a par with Sheffield United at the moment. Burnley are a solid defensive unit and will sit deep here. I can’t believe Arsenal are 1.68/13. I have to lay them. If you want more security I wouldn’t put you off backing Burnley on the Asian Handicap.”
Mark: “Leicester are slightly over-rated here. They were lucky to win last weekend. Both teams to score at 1.84/5 is a really interesting bet here. The market isn’t anticipating goals but I am.”
European Leagues
Mark: “If you’re going to back Real Madrid to win La Liga do it now. If they win this match their current price 3.55/2 will shorten. Diego Simeone’s Atletico will adopt a defensive mentality but for Real too it’s a case of protect and preserve. My bet for this match is under 2.5 goals at 1.758/11. I wouldn’t put anyone off backing a goalless draw.”
Jake: “I’ve taken under 2.5 goals to but I’ve used the same game multi too to add Real/Draw and boost the odds to 2.111/10.”
Mark: “I wouldn’t be surprised if Union score here even though they’re missing their key player – Max Kruse. I’m backing Bayern -1 or -1.5.”
Kevin: “Bayern half-time/full-time at 1.910/11 was one bet that stood out for me.”
Jake: “Lyon aren’t at PSG’s level but they aren’t far behind. I like over 3.5 goals in this one at evens.”
Jake: “Lens have home advantage and have been very impressive this season. Odds of 2.6613/8 are a bit too big for them to get the win.”
Kevin: Both teams to score in Leicester v Brighton
Mark: Chelsea to beat Everton
Jake: Southampton to beat Sheff Utd
