The Reds Need to Push On

Posted on by Online Betting Pro

2017 has been a poor year in Liverpool if you come from the red half of the city that is! A succession of poor results has left Jurgen Klopp and his Red Army in a precarious position in the league. They currently sit in fourth position and are four points ahead of rivals Manchester United. However, Jose Mourinho and his United side have two games in hand. This means that Liverpool cannot afford to slip up as we enter the final phase of the season.

They play Everton at Anfield on Saturday in what will be a hotly contested Merseyside derby. Everton is having a solid season under Ronald Koeman. They currently reside in seventh spot and are only six points adrift of their city rivals. Making the top four was seen as almost automatic before Christmas for Liverpool fans.

However, as mentioned by SuperHotTips.com, “There has been an average of 2.9 goals scored per game over the last 5 matches in the English Premier League where Liverpool have been at home, and Everton have been away.“. This is a great opportunity for a BTTS bet. Check out other BTTS Tips at SuperHotTips.com

Is Klopp the Reason for the Demise?

Many people are suggesting that the tough training program and high-intensity style has taken its toll on the Liverpool players. Is this the fault of Jurgen Klopp? Another answer could be that he simply doesn’t have the quality that he had at Borussia Dortmund. Whatever the reason, it is clear that Liverpool are struggling at the moment and the odd sporadic result isn’t good enough.

Everton will welcome the absence of Liverpool’s Adam Lallana. He picked up a knock in the International break while playing for England. That is a huge blow for Jurgen Klopp. His thigh injury looks likely to rule him out for around 3-4 weeks. At such a crucial stage of the season then that could well tip the balance in whether or not Liverpool ultimately make the top four.

Koeman in Demand

If Everton continues their impressive form, it is difficult to see bigger clubs not coming in for the “in demand” Ronald Koeman. He is clearly adding to his already impressive managerial CV. It is highly likely that a top job is only just around the corner for the Dutchman. That won’t worry the Everton fans though who will clearly fancy their chances of going to Anfield and getting a win.

Liverpool is a tough team to beat at Anfield having won ten of their fourteen league games there this season. Liverpool can be backed at 4-6 with SkyBet and that seems like very poor value to us. Everton, on the other hand, are a best-priced 4-1 with 888Sport.

The draw is 3-1 with BetVictor and we much prefer that as the value bet of the day. We also like the “both teams to score” market too and 888Sport are quoting 5-7 for both teams to find the net. Given how attack-minded Liverpool are and how fragile they are at the back then we like the look of that bet too.

City to Keep Winning in a Goal Fest

Posted on by Online Betting Pro

ME and odds-on favourites away from home in the Premier League don’t usually go hand in hand but there is a lot to like about Manchester City this week when they make the long journey down to the south coast to face struggling Bournemouth.

It’s a Premier League coupon that’s littered with heavy odds-on pokes but the 1.50 that is available with Stan James on City for this one looks one of the better of the short prices.

It’s very rare that I would suggest a play on any side that is odds-on away from home in still the most competitive league in the world, but I am expecting totally different ends to the season for this two and it’s hard not to get involved.

Last weekend City left it late to beat Swansea 2-1 at the Etihad with two goals from wonder kid Gabriel Jesus, and despite what’s been a disappointing Premier League campaign, they still remain in third position in the table and arrive on the south coast with three successive wins under their belt.

In recent weeks, manager Pep Guardiola has let his star-studded side off the shackles and City games for the remainder of the season will be good ones to watch.

In their last three wins City has scored an impressive nine goals and getting with goals certainly looks the way to profit at the Vitality.

Nine of City’s last ten matches have seen over 2.5 goals feature and at 1.57 with Stan James again that looks the banker in the match for me as it’s also been a winner in 11 of Bournemouth’s last 13.

Bournemouth is 7.00 with William Hill to win this game, and despite a win at home to Liverpool and an impressive home draw with Arsenal, that is not a price that I would go anywhere near with their current form.

The Cherries are in real danger of being dragged into a relegation battle. With no wins in their last six matches and a staggering 19 goals conceded in those matches, this is certainly worrying times for Eddie Howe.

At the weekend Bournemouth defended like school kids in the 6-3 defeat against Everton, and another freaky result looks on the cards but with the majority of goals for the visitors, so I also like City -1.5 goals on the Asian handicap at 2.20 with Bet365.

City have to go all out and win every remaining game now in Premier League, something that they are more than capable of doing since the arrival of new Jesus; he could be the answer to their prayers and Bournemouth need to stop the rot or they will be in the Championship, something I am not sure they can do.
