All Football Tips w/c 14th December

Liverpool v Tottenham

The sad death of Gérard Houllier + the disappointment of the Fulham game + 2,000 home fans + Mourinhos insistence on playing a defensive, counter attacking football =

Liverpool to win and 14 + Liverpool shots @ just over 2/1

Looking forward to cheering Spurs on with beer + a few mates, so I'll just be on a couple of higher Liverpool shots totals and hope Spurs can nick something

Am having a bet this evening on the EPL but first up
EPL Out Right
Looking at the bottom five sides I am convinced Dyche keeps Burnley up. I think WBA go down but Sheffield could still dig themselves out of it based on last season's form. Scotty Parker is doing a good job with Fulham and they play Brighton tomorrow. A win for Fulham and these odds will certainly not be seen in the near future.
To be relegated
Brighton @ 5/1

On this evenings matches
Wolves v Chelsea
Probably low on goals here so going with
Wolves One goal exactly @ 31/20
Man City v WBA
No prizes for guessing where the goals are likely to be tonight
Match goals over 4.5 @ 18/10

Problem is though with injuries and unpredictable Covid long term bets are very difficult to play.

This is not necessarily a long term bet. We don't have a book in SA where bets can be layed but we do occasionally get EPL relegation offers Yes/No. On 21 Dec last year Sheff Utd beat Brighton at home which is this Sunday's match. Two defeats for Brighton this week and they could be 9/10 choice for relegation on Monday. That's me - Vann The eternal optimist

I fancy Liverpool to be the top Northern Club @ evens

See that Brighton price is 6.4 at Betway but don't see any none relegation bets yet.

The festive turkey may end up being a festive chicken. I really fancied goals at the Etihad last night. Considering a large punt on a 33/20 shot at Anfield tonight but lets first test the waters
Leeds v Newcastle
Match goals under 2.5 @ 14/10
and a double on the other two early kick offs
BTTS - Yes and over 2.5 match goals
Arsenal - Just hope the Gunners score
Leicester - Four of last five meetings finished 2-1
@ 27/10

Liverpool over 1.5 goals

Early bets don't look good so no large at Anfield. Spurs have beaten ManU/ManC and Arsenal scoring 2 or more goals. Liverpool have leaked seven against Villa, three against Leeds and have conceded one of the only five goals scored by Sheffield Utd and that was at Anfield. Taking a run at
Liverpool v Spurs

Tip lands, didn't back, massive hangover lol. Fortunately, 2/3 alternative shots totals come in to ease the pain of the inevitable Liverpool winner, but it's worth noting that Spurs are now winless in 3 away games. It might just be a blip, but they've conceded late and missed some massive chances since fans have been re-introduced. Might be worth keeping an eye on crowd eligibility for certain home games involving Sheffield United, West Brom, Burnley etc as I can see it making a difference at big odds.

Some game last night, almost woke the kids up when Bobby smashed that header in! Was about to jump straight into bed but a celebratory stiff g&t was needed.

Jose saying best team lost. Serious fishing for bites there.

Poor run on the footie recently so joining the rugby guys on that Puma cap. Need a few beers for the watch this evening. During a bad run you really don't want to see Villa on the coupon because they are just about impossible to call but hey - someone has to make an arse of themselves.
Here's the basics. Burnley have scored all of their EPL goals this season in two 15 minute windows - 50% in 0-15min and 50% in 60-75min. Villa have scored 62% of their goals in the second half. So we have two beer bets to cover that Burnley stat
Aston Villa v Burnley
Second Half BTTS - Yes @ 21/10
and
Match Flow
Burnley/Villa @ 19/2
Should you be interested in the craft beer allocation its 3 on the 21/10 and 1 on the 19/2

UAE League

Fujairah vs Al Shabab
Al Nasr vs Al Ain

These are some of the sides that play attacking, high scoring football, and two of them, Al Shabab and Al Ain, are coming after games that they were supposed to win and didn't, they misfired, so they should make up for that tonight.

Both games over 2.5 goals @2.40.

Liverpool score in both halves @ 27/20.

Wonder if the Saint of Punting - Hymie Bloomberg - is going to cut us some slack over the festive season.
Saturday Acca

Walsall
Lincoln
Middlesborough
Manchester City
Newcastle
@ 46/1

Nothing large on the first match as I don't have a lot of luck calling Liverpool. See Salah starts on the bench so that 7/2 looks good. I also like the Zaha/Ayew/Schlupp combo as opposed to playing Benteke.
Crystal Palace v Liverpool
Second Half BTTS - Yes @ 21/10
Last Goal Scorer
Salah @ 7/2

Over 2.5 goals

Bor M'bach vs Hoffenheim
Leipzig vs Koeln

Double @2.36

BTTS Yes

Bor M'bach vs Hoffenheim
Augsburg vs Eintracht Frankfurt

Double @2.19

Second Half BTTS - Yes @ 21/10
Last Goal Scorer
Salah @ 7/2

Salah scored the last two goals to make sure that HE was the last goal scorer.

Football + Rugby combo, all to win

Man City + Rangers + Ulster @2.40

Southampton have scored in the first half in all six of their home matches thus far. This bet has a chance and I fancy the odds
Southampton v Manchester City
First Half BTTS - Yes @ 3/1

No first half goal from Southampton but they certainly tried.
Team sheets out for Goodison. Arsenal go with no Aubameyang/Lacazette, so not much options on the out ball. Wing backs Saka/Maitland-Niles don't fill me with any confidence - but wait - centre of defense will hold with David Liuz. Bet just looks obvious here
Everton v Arsenal
Everton over 1.5 match goals @ 27/20
Note - I have innumerable scars on my arse from being bitten by obvious bets.

If anyone followed this acca is still alive. The Fulham D/C is around 9/20 so your full cover would be
Stake times 32.5 to give around a 14/1 return

Nice work and position on accA Vann!

Brighton have yet to win a match at home and have only one clean sheet in their six attempts. That was the 0-0 against Burnley. Probably worth a look at
Brighton v Sheffield Utd
Sheffield match goals over 0.5 @ 11/10
Throwing a few afternoon beers on this acca

Spurs

Sheffield

@ 29/2

Man Spurs just have no width and as for Aurier - Not a brain cell in sight.
At Old Trafford we have ManU with around 69% of their goals in the second half against Leeds with around 64%. ManU are also very fond of conceding early and playing catch-up so going with
Manchester United v Leeds
ManU Highest scoring half - Second half @ 23/20
Leeds to score in both halves - Yes @ 24/10

Not much future in trying to call Villa this season. They are either drought or deluge. A few goals going in this evening so going for the odds against deluge option
West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa
Match Goals over 3.5 @ 18/10
