West Ham vs Birmingham

This fixture just screams draaaaw!

Birmingham’s form is still looking good, and they will not lose tonight against a weak London side.

However, West Ham is decent at home and will struggle hard to keep a point and I think they will succeed. 0-0 or maybe 1-1, but definitely a draw.

At 3.25 there’s nothing left to say. I’ll push £250 into the pot!

The return of Drogba

Finally! Drogba returns to the Premiership title race.

Tonight Chelsea got an away fixture at Hull and I expect Drogba to be on fire.

Hull is stuck in the relegation fight after nine games without a win while Chelsea is the clear favorite for the title.

Away win doesn’t pay enough tonight, not even a handicap bet is worth it. The best value in my book is more than 3.5 goals at a price of 2.60. £200.

A draw in Sunderland

Sunderland-fc

More Premiership betting.

Tonight we got Sunderland vs Stoke. Stoke are unbeaten in their last three matches including last weekend’s 3-1 FA Cup win over Arsenal and The Black Cats have not won for nine league games.

Away win then? Well, Darren Bent is on fire (four goals in the last six) and the home side usually comes out on top when these two meet. Also, Stoke have great difficulties scoring away.

I smell a draw. At a price of 3.40 it looks like the best bet. £100.
