Plenty to get through, so I’ll get started straight away,
first with the Barclays Premier League games;
Newcastle v Chelsea –
CHELSEA WIN 4/7 (Paddy Power) – Score; 1-2 7/1
(Paddy Power)
Chelsea are certainly looking like they'll be champions come
the end of the season, and remain unbeaten in the league with 11 wins and 3
draws.
Newcastle have only lost 1 game at home, which was against
City on the opening weekend. They have drawn with Hull and Palace, and beaten
Liverpool, QPR and Leicester, so another big test will prove too much I think.
In defence Newcastle have been fairly sound, and only conceded 3 in their last
6 league games.
Having said that, Chelsea average over 2 goals a game away
from home in the League this season, and they've scored 10 goals in their last
6 league games (conceding just 3). 2-1 Chelsea win for me.
QPR v Burnley – QPR WIN
& Both Teams To Score (BTTS) 4.33 (BET365)
QPR failed to score against Swansea away in midweek, but had
been finding the net a little before that, with Austin the main man. Swansea's
defence is also very good at home, and QPR's away form is the worst.
QPR beat Leicester 3-2 at home recently and I can see a
similar score line against Burnley, either 3-2 or 3-1 QPR.
Burnley have only scored 4 away goals but managed 2 in their
last away game at Stoke, and Danny Ings looks like he's finding his feet a bit
in the Premier League now.
Hull City v West Brom
– HULL WIN 29/20 (BET365)
Both these sides have been on poor run of form, but Hull
managed a draw against Everton in midweek and they'll hope that's a turning
point in their season. They did lose Diame in that game through injury but have
the return of strike Abel Hernandez.
West Brom have skipper Chris Brunt on the side lines with a
hamstring injury, and with Berahino now 436 minutes without a Premier League
goal, it’s not looking good. West Brom have scored just 5 goals in their last
11 Premier League games on the road, and never more than once in those games.
And that’s it for Saturday’s football bets. I do have a
couple more in mind, and you can find me on OLBG to see all my tips, my
username is kingman55.
And now a quick look at a couple of my racing picks for
today;
Sandown 12:50 – Blue Buttons
3/1 (William Hill)
Harry Fry in fine form at the moment, and has a 38% strike
rate in Handicap hurdles so far this season. Trainer and Jockey combination
shows a 33% strike rate in hurdles this season with 6 wins from 18.
Aintree 1:30 – Mendip
Express (EW) 10/1 (BET365)
Mendip Express is 2 from 2 on the current going (soft) and 1
from 1 at the distance. Again, trainer Harry Fry is in fine form at the moment with 5
wins from 13 in the last fortnight (38% strike rate).
