Premier League betting tips – my best picks

The Champions League round 2:2 is over and now its time for the league again. 10 matches spread out through Saturday – Sunday will be played and we have at least two interesting games with high quality top teams.

I am really looking forward to Chelsea vs Liverpool on Sunday, but even Monday’s game between Aston Villa vs Manchester City feels interesting.

Three out of four English teams that played Champions league this week won their matches (Arsenal home against Olympiakos 2 – 0, Chelsea away against Apoel 0 – 1, and Manchester United vs Wolfsburg 2 – 1).

The only team that lost was Liverpool. They went to Italy and Florens to play against Fiorentina and were totally out played. Fiorentina won a well deserved win with 2 – 0.

I will list all the matches that is played this round in Premier League with the odds from bwin football betting and then give you my best pick for the round:

Bolton 3.15 draw 3.25 Tottenham Hotspur 2.10

Burnley 2.20 draw 3.20 Birmingham City 3.00

Hull City 2.40 draw 3.15 Wigan Athletic 2.70

Wolverhampton 2.00 draw 3.30 Portsmouth 3.35

Manchester Utd 1.20 draw 5.50 Sunderland 11.50

FC Arsenal 1.25 draw 5.05 Blackburn Rovers 9.50

FC Everton 1.65 draw 3.40 Stoke City 4.90

West Ham 2.20 draw 3.20 Fulham 3.00

FC Chelsea 1.85 draw 3.20 FC Liverpool 4.00

Aston Villa 2.25 draw 3.30 Manchester City 2.80

My pick of the week is a multi-play with two matches:

Manchester United vs Sunderland, home win + Arsenal vs Blackburn, home win total odds: 1.50

I know that this isn’t an all too brave bet, but those who have followed my bets for a longer time knows that I usually don’t bet on the biggest favourites. But this time I really think that both these teams will take pretty easy wins and that’s why I think that 50 % profit is a pretty god payback.

Here’s my thought about these two games and why I pick them as my bets of this round:

Manchester United vs Sunderland

Manchester United has only lost one game so far and that lost came against Burnley, very surprisingly. Beside that they have won all their six matches. It’s very rare that Manchester united drops points against opponents like Sunderland home at Old Trafford.

Sunderland impressed on me with their 5 – 2 win against Wolverhampton last week, but I saw the match and it was way too big compared to how they played. Sunderland got two penalties and at least the first was a wrong decision from the ref. At the same time Wolves deserved go get one penalty that they never got

Man Utd played in Champions league on Wednesday and that might be the only reason why to not bet on them in this match, but they have lots of players to rotate on and I am pretty sure that Sir Alex Ferguson al ready has counted in that in his tactics.

I just can’t se how Manchester united can draw or loose this game and that’s why I pick this as my first pick out of two. With the prerequisite that we have they win at least 5 out of 6 matches like this.

Arsenal – Blackburn

Even Arsenal played Champions league this week. But that’s no excuse to not to win this match against Blackburn Rovers at home.

Blackburn won against Aston Villa last week after a penalty in the 90^th minute. But I am not so impressed with their performance this year either. Blackburn has lost some important key-players this summer and I think that they will fight in the bottom half of the table.

I saw Arsenals match against Olympiakos on Thursdays Champions league round and they really impressed on me. The score was only written 2 – 0, but seen to the chances that they created It would had been more like 6 or 7 – 0.

They totally mashed down the Greek side and Nikopolidis, goalkeeper in Olympiakos, probably played one of his best games ever. It was play against their goal through out the whole game and why it took over 70 min until Arsenal got their first goal is a riddle for me.

In the beginning of this season Arsenal had lots of injuries but now more and more players have come back and on the attacking side they are almost complete now. Arshavin is playing brilliant football at the moment and with players like Van Persie, Fabregas and Eduardo available I can’t se how Blackburn can bring any points home from this match. Even Rosicky is back as winger and now its only Walcott left.

Arsenal has soo many players that can make the difference in a game like this and if they produce half as many chances as they did against Olympiakos, I am pretty sure they will win.

And with that fact I bet Arsenal + Manchester United to a total odds of 1.50.
