All Football Tips w/c 8th September

World Cup qualifiers continue this week, will put something together for Bafana v Nigeria on Tuesday. Then at the weekend EPL and other major leagues return to action and locally it's the MTN8 final. 

Previews to follow and all this week's football tips, any competition, are most welcome here 

South Africa v Nigeria, Tuesday's World Cup Qualifier  preview is available here

I don't know what to make of Nigeria, with the players they have they should be well clear in this group but they have been well below what you would expect. 2-3 goals in total at even money will do for me

Early plays for Saturday English Premier League, my first 2 weeks were awful but clawed it back in Round 3. Will edit if team news torpedoes any of these, always a bit weary of games after international breaks.  Preview here

Sunday's games to follow on a separate preview
 

Austrian Bundesliga

Full disclosure, I'm in no way any good at these overseas leagues. 

SV Ried vs Hartberg (Sunday night)

Ried hit by major COVID outbreak  and have had only 11 players training and have been forced to call U21s also away on duty. Hartberg are unbeaten in their last 3 visits there and quote from Sports director :“It would be a miracle if we got a point.”

Hartberg was 3.1 and is still same on Sportsbet but it has moved to 2.32 on bet365 and a couple of other books have taken the game off. If you can find a decent price it might be worth a shot.

MTN8 Final in Nelspruit on Saturday, Pirates v Stellenbosch

Pirates have dominated this competition in recent times and beat Stellies 1-0 in the league recently but they had a lot of players on international duty and Stellies gave their guys a few days off, I'm thinking btts yes in regulation time, 11/10 at Betway  preview here

Sunday's EPL preview  is available here

Burnley v Liverpool, Player to provide 1 or more assist Florian Wirtz, was 2/1 boosted to 5/2 with Sportingbet

Manchester City v Manchester United, Anytime goalscorer Bruno Fernandes at 32/10 with Sportingbet

Saturday football acca for beer money stake, a real Hail Mary at 87/1

Fulham team totals over 2.5
Sunderland team totals over 1.5
Bristol City to win
Pirates v Stellies btts yes

 Late play on Southampton v Portsmouth Sunday 13:00, going with Saints total corners 7 or more at a shade over even money, think they will have the bulk of possession, 2 good wingers and they got 7 corners in their most recent home game against Stoke.

Manchester City  v  Manchester United

Caught some Napoli yesterday. No idea why we sold McTominay and Hojlund. Always liked McTominay and thought Hojlund was a better prospect then Zirkzee. 
On this match going with the ManU shots. Spurs and Brighton managed 12 each and Wolves who are generally a shot shy side got 9. Also like the corners with City leading the count 8-2 and 7-1 in the last two contests at the Etihad.

Total shots
ManU over 10.5  @  12/10

Bet builder
ManC - 2.5 on corner match bet and BTTS - Yes  @  13/10

Not sure why ManC are such favorites here around 15/20? Think they looked poor against Spurs and Brighton and United have a reasonable recent record at the Etihad. Won't take anything on as I will be happy enough if we get a point here and annoyed if we lose the match and I lose the bet.

I followed you on those two bets, Vann. 

Here's a bet builder that I took on this match.

Haaland to score or assist
Fernandes 1+ shots
Mbeumo 1+ shots
Over 3.5 shots on target for Man City
Over 2.5 cards (Taylor the ref here, so we should get 3 cards)
Total odds 2.60
