English Premiership Betting - The Premiership Weekend WagerSporting predictions by Chris Clegg Your hands should be 'Burn'ing to back the Clarets to freeze 'Sun'derland's September heat this Saturday. As another Barclays premiership weekend approaches, punters will be flocking to land their feathery fivers on hotly priced Burnley (8/5) to sink Sunderland on the penultimate Saturday in what has been a shocking September of typically unpredictable premiership encounters.
Burnley were 10-1 when they toppled the champions at Turf Moor just under a month ago and the Clarets' faithful piled in for a field day. It was certainly a 'Turf (accountant) Moorning' after the Wednesday Night before for the many United fans who thought their team were midweek dead certainties - back in August. I'm sure the Clarets' faithful will get on their beloved again on Saturday. Sunderland, of course, are travelling westwards on the back of a 4-1 drubbing of lowly Hull at the Stadium of Light last Saturday; but bouncy Burnley are a different prospect, especially at their holy grail - 'Moor' victories to come on their Turf this season, beginning this Saturday, at the expense of the black cats, who are abysmally priced (typically) at 7/5 favourites for the match - inexplicable. Another banker for the discerning punter this Saturday is at Villa Park where the brummies (Birmingham residents) of Aston face Portsmouth, who are in desperate trouble, even at this early stage of the season, with only David (calamity) James between the sticks capable of sparing their blushes. Unfortunately for James, Villa's resurgent team will close the mouths of travelling Pompey-ites as they fill their boots at the expense of the South Coast misfits. The Villa: a tasty 4/11; Pompey: 7/1 - I wouldn't get on them if they were twice the price.
Steer clear of Hull and Birmingham, as most sensible Brits tend to. No, sorry, Birmingham is actually OK. I wouldn't attempt to predict a result here...Well actually, Hull will edge it but I wouldn't put your money on it, never mind my own, so I don't advise you to either...unless you're from Hull, in which case - go for it, put your mother's giro on it - you've nothing to lose. At the Emirates it's safe to say that the Wenger boys will be coming up trumps against the Wiganers, whose fans still persist in chanting "who to be, who to be a, who to be a Wiganaaaaaaa". They sound in great distress, which is how they will feel after a painful mauling at the hands of Van Persie et al - bump up your accumulators with Arsenal at 1/5 this week. The other two Saturday games this weekend see Liverpool travelling to the capital to play the Hammers and Stoke making their way up the M6 to Bolton. I fear for West Ham's defence as Gerrard, Benayoun and Torres are starting to do their thing on the pitch for the Reds. Liverpool are not a good price at 8/15, though if I had a gun to my head I'd choose them over the Hammers. Harder to predict is Megson's men against hard-to-beat Stoke. Never should Bolton be priced as even money favourites; and against Pulis' proud team I feel they'll struggle to wrap up three points - a draw is on the cards here. Sunday's fixtures see an intriguing match at Molineux as the Wolves try to thwart Fulham and McCarthy's men are terribly priced at 5/4 favourites for the match and with "Nanananananananananana Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, Ebanks-Blake, Sylvan Ebanks-Blake" (genius football song) still sidelined, the Wolves will struggle to kill off their resolute rivals. Roy Hodgson has transformed Fulham into a top-half of the table team and they may just come away with the three points come Sunday. My money's on a share of the points, though. Blackburn are handily priced at 10/3 to win at struggling Everton - more misery for Moyes, methinks... And the two table-toppers on Sunday are at the Bridge and Old Trafford. Chelsea entertain Harry's Spurs and it's the Manchester derby up in the North West. I could sit on the fence and predict two draws, a double bet there would be at least 10-1 at all bookies. However, I believe City's bubble will burst at the hands, or feet, of their fiercest rivals, although United are embarrassingly priced at 4/7 - not worth a look; City are a tasty 4/1 and if you're a city lover you'll be lapping that up. Similar story at the Bridge with Chelsea at 4/9 and Spurs spectacularly priced at 11/2. I think Chelsea will win...so I'm getting on Spurs because I'm a punter and punters never go with their head - the prices are just too good! Wager of the weekendBurnley to beat Sunderland at 8/5; Bolton and Stoke to draw at 11/5; Villa to beat Portsmouth at 4/11 and Arsenal to beat Blackburn at 1/5 pays just under 13/1 at William Hill so a cool £126 return for your tenner. Just for fun on SundayA three draw treble on Sunday (United-City; Chelsea-Spurs and Wolves-Fulham) pays just under 40/1 at all bookies, that's almost £400 back for your tenner. Brilliant.
