westham1718Three English Premier League matches make up our football treble on Saturday 15th May with the odds boosted to 6.90 by @Olimp_SA

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before we look at this weekend's treble a reminder that the FA Cup Final between Chelsea and Leicester also takes place at Wembley on Saturday and you can view the full suite of betting markets for that game here.

 

Chelsea are favourites to win in 90 minutes at a shade of odds on with the draw at 3.57 and Leicester can be backed at around 4.12. With so many other markets available punters can take their pick and our idea for a speculative interest at big odds concerns the time of the first goal.

 

Both teams won their respective semi finals 1-0 and it's some coincidence that they both scored their winnings goals in the 55th minute. It could be a tight first half and we side with 51-60 minutes for the opening goal to arrive.

 

FA Cup Final Bet: Time of 1st goal 51-60 minutes at 10.00

 

Meanwhile we stick with the same weekly format for our treble which comprises of a match result selection plus one for over 2.5 goals and both teams to score and this week the odds have been boosted to 6.90 by @Olimp_SA

 

Leg 1 Burnley v Leeds click here for all markets available for this match

 

Burnley moved on to 39 points with a 2-0 win at Fulham on Monday night, ensuring their own safety and relegating Fulham in the process. With three rounds of matches to go they can breathe easily now but the higher the finishing place the greater the financial reward and that should mean plenty to Burnley. The trend in their recent matches is for goals with 7 of their last 10 seeing backers of over 2.5 collect.

 

Leeds are finishing the season pretty well, losing just 1 of their last 8 and they have faced some top sides in that sequence. The only disappointment recently was a 2-0 loss at Brighton in their most recent road trip but they bounced back to win 3-1 at home to Spurs last weekend. Leeds have played 17 away fixtures and the total goals count from those matches clocks in at 61.

 

With the pressure off Burnley now we look for an entertaining game of 3 goals or more in total.

 

Selection: Over 2.5 goals

 

Leg 2 Southampton v Fulham click here for all markets available for this match

 

Southampton are another side who will be relaxed now all three relegation places are spoken for. They have been very average in the second half of the season but they put Crystal Palace away with a 3-1 win in a midweek home fixture, a performance which suggested they want to end the season on a high.

 

Fulham's relegation had been looking increasingly likely over the last few weeks and since shocking Liverpool with a win at Anfield in early March they have taken just 1 point from their next 7 matches. The pressure is off now their fate is determined and the players may well show some fighting spirit but they have been short of goals all season and it's possible their team selection over these remaining games may have one eye on preparing for next season in the Championship.

 

The Saints are hardly the most reliable but we back them to take maximum points here.

 

Selection: Southampton to win

 

Leg 3 Brighton v West Ham click here for all markets available for this match

 

If we are still rolling in our treble then it's off to Brighton, another side who will be feeling a lot better about life now they are safe from any threat of relegation.

 

Brighton lost 2-1 at Wolves last week, a game they finished with 9 men but their most recent home game delivered a 2-0 win over Leeds. They could still finish as high as thirteenth if they finish strongly and they have taken 7 points from their last 3 home fixtures.

 

On the face of it the greater incentive in terms of winning this match rests with West Ham who mathematically are still in the hunt for a top 4 finish. Qualification for the Europa League arguably looks a more realistic target after 3 defeats in their last 4 league games and another concern would be that they have kept just 1 clean sheet in their last 11 league games.

 

Still, it's been an excellent season for West Ham and this is the first of 3 winnable looking matches with a trip to West Brom and home game against Southampton to follow.

 

These teams drew 2-2 in London earlier in the season and the last 4 Premier League head to heads have seen both sides find the net. In the belief Brighton will have resisted the temptation to get the holiday brochures out early, both teams to score is our pick here.

 

Selection: Both teams to score
