ARSENAL would've burst plenty of coupons up and down the land on Wednesday as they hung on to win 1-0 at Stamford Bridge after being gifted the opening goal.
It was just their second win in 32 meetings against the traditional Premier League ‘Big Six' and is a result that leaves the door open for Liverpool to claim a Champions League spot.
The Reds make the trip to Old Trafford tonight in search of a win that would take them to within four points of Chelsea with a game in hand but they've not won away to United since 2014 and won just once in their last 15 visits.
For Man Utd it'll be their fourth match in eight days and gaffer Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to field a stronger line-up than the one that lost to Leicester City on Tuesday.
The bookies rate Liverpool favourites to win at 11/8 which reflects the Reds' greater need for points than their hosts. KevMac prefers a cards angle for his top tip in his match preview.
In Scotland, Hamilton's defeat at Ross County, coupled with Kilmarnock's draw with St Mirren leaves the Accies on the brink of relegation to the Championship. They'd need a miracle nine-goal win when the two sides clash on Sunday. Killie look likely to face Dundee in the Premiership Play-off final after the Dens Park side recorded a 3-0 first leg win at Raith Rovers.
In Spain Atletico went four points clear of Barcelona, and five clear of Real Madrid who play their game in hand tonight at Granada. Real's inability to keep many clean sheets has piqued Mark Walker's interest as he goes for a win and BTTS for Zinedine Zidane's side in his match preview.
The Dutch Eredivisie is in action on Thursday early afternoon. All 18 teams are in action at 1.30pm and Tolu has previewed Ajax's clash with VVV Venlo. The Amsterdam club have scored an eye-watering 23 goals in their last three meetings with VVV including a 13-0 win earlier in the season. Over 3.5 goals for Ajax is 11/10 and four goals would take their tally to the magic 100 for the season.
Over 1.5 goals in each match pays a measly 34/10 at Bet365 but 29+ goals to be scored across all nine matches is 4/5 at Skybet and makes more appeal.

Scotland's Calum Hill was out the traps quickly at the British Masters and sits second, one stroke off the lead after the first round. Bernd Wiesberger is just a further shot behind as The Caddy's picks got off to a flier yet again at 50/1 and 20/1 respectively.

🚴♂️ Cycling 🚴♂️
============
Giro d’Italia – Stage 6
==================
To win
🚴♂️ Simon Yates @ 19.00 (Simon is in great form at the moment , the final climb of the stage suits him well and if it will be a sprint between the favorites , he has a chance to win)
🚴♂️ Giulio Ciccone @ 21.00 (another good option for victory , in the past Giulio won this kind of stages and will attack today for sure , the final climb suits him too)
🚴♂️ Hugh Carty @ 23.00 (he is a rider who prefer a more harder climb , he can win today if will attack from distance)
🚴♂️ Pello Bilbao @ 51.00 (Bahrain lost yesterday his leader of the team , Mikel Landa crushed and leaved the Giro. Pello is (was) his lieutenant , and for now one he will try to win as many stages as he can , in case at the final stage it will be a sprint , he is the fastest from the climbers)
🚴♂️ Davide Formolo @ 81.00 (Davide always liked this kind of stages but rarely wins , today is another chance for him to chase personally glory , the stage is perfect for his ability , he will try to give it a go at one point )
There are many more options for today stage but I stop at them ,small stakes because is a hard stage to predict a winner.
🍻
I am a bit worried the break will make it, with no teams willing to chase. I only have a small bet on Reichenbach @ 51.00
@ Mr. O – Israel Start Up Nation has the Pink Jersey , De Marchi has over 1 minute ahead of Vlasov , and will try to defend it , but yes Reichenbach , Tom De Gendt are good options for the break .
Yes, let’s hope it will be a finish between the big boys
Aston Villa – Everton

🇦🇺 A league
Melbourne city v Adelaide
Home men can put themselves on the verge of the premiers plate here with a win going 11 pts in front with 12 to play for and I can’t see them not getting the 3pts. Adelaides last 2 matches have been 0-0 but I don’t think there’s any chance they’ll keep out a city side who have been rampant at home and have 8 wins from 9 scoring 28 in the process. As ever with city home games means corners and both my tips landed in this market in their last match against Brisbane and it’s something I’ll be revisiting again here. Jamie McClaren drew a blank in his last game and will be itching to score here and probably will, but at just 4/9 for atgs, 12/5 for first and a paltry 15/8 to score 2 it’s a market I’ll be leaving alone today.

City over 1.5 tgs

For the NB it’s Holland and France, Ajax and psv both in action at home against teams in the bottom 6 and should hopefully cover the goal lines I’ve chosen, and in France Monaco face 4th tier Rumilly in the cup semi finals, the minnows have done well to get to this stage but they haven’t faced anyone from above ligue 2 whilst Monaco have already knocked out 3 Ligue 1 sides and have won 13 of their last 14 away games.

Difficult day with some of the results yesterday etc. Well done to any winners 👏🏻👏🏻
One of my favourite leagues today and a rerun of games that were played very recently finishing in 0-5 and 0-6 score lines . Vikingur and Klaksvik are two of the best teams along with the Torshavn teams for goals in this league and only a serious off day should see them fail to net a few again here. The difficulty lies in the markets on offer at different bookies so have tried to combine what I fancy where I can albeit not ideal.
Over 2.5tgs double @ 1.3/1 (WHill) nap
Klaksvik
Vikingur
Double @ 3.5/1 (WHill) nb
Klaksvik over 3.5tgs

Will also be having a dabble in the team goals markets with smaller stakes but more goals , with Vikingur having a slow start to the season but coming alive as of the last few games. Will be taking klaksvik as well but with markets unavailable and the chance of me getting on here at kick off slim, il post without odds just now –
Vikingur over 4.5tgs @ 7/2 (bet365)

Holstein Kiel certainly made us sweat but despite falling behind twice, two late goals gave them the win and promotion to the Bundesliga. In Belgium it took 68 minutes for both sides to score. Just want to say thank you to everyone for the kind messages earlier, very much appreciated 👍🏼

I Fancy Everton to get the 3pts tonight.
We have the second best away record and are still going for European place.
Villa got nothing to play for.
Grealish on the bench but ollie Watkins is suspended, which is massive.
He scored the against us last week on the break and not much else in attack without them two.
We have Doucoure back which is massive for us as we have really missed him, not been the same without him.
Everton win 2.45 b365
Verona most corners 1.44
Double 3.53
Verona lost 1 of the last 4 games corner match bet and that was against inter milan
Crotone lost the five games corner match bet
good luck

Having a little bit on the Monaco cup game tonight
2+ Monaco first half goals 19/10

Limon to score 5-6 (SKYBET) ⚽ NAP ⚽
Just 6-10 at hills ❌.
Side bet BTTS and over 2.5 goals 6-4 (SKYBET).
just 19-20 at hills ❌.
SKYBET have limon to score at 5-6 and BTTS at 8-11 which makes no sense ⚽🙂
Apologies for the NAP price being under EVENS but there is nothing ticking my fancy elsewhere 😳
Strange the price difference between the 2 firms I quoted, haven’t looked elsewhere so don’t know which are priced correctly.
Herediano kept 2 clean sheets in 24 games home/away and 2 clean sheets in last 20 home games.
They have conceded In last 11 home games.
Limon though bottom scored in 12 of last 15 games.
Limon scored in 7 of last 8 aways and scored 2+ in 5 of them.
Limon seen btts in 7 of last 8 games, 6 of these seen btts and overs.
*** Limon scored in last 4 h2h here with 3 of them BTTS and overs ***.
Herediano are 4th and limon 12th and bottom of the league, but herediano have the 3rd worst defence of the 12 and limon the worst.
These are the final games of this part of the league (clausara)
Herediano need points to get in the top 4 play off and limon need points to avoid relegation.
Prediction 2-1

Ever-reliable FH do the business – 1-1 on the 30 minute mark 😀

Well done all winners 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Anyone else back Man Utd to win on WH because of their promotional offer? Mines been settled as a loser even though they scored first.
