Weekend Betting 27th-28th April

Yoo-hoo! Me again! With the end of the season approaching, I suppose I'd better furnish y'all with some tips:

  • Manchester City at home to West Ham does look a home banker, and indeed it really should be. West Ham have now cleared the magical 40 point mark which usually guarantees safety from relegation (and should again be the case this season), plus their 3-4-10 away record this season means there's little reason to fancy them to take anything from this one- indeed, city are potent enough going forward at home (averaging 2.25 goals at home in the league this season) to cover a handicap. Take city -1 goal at 5/6 with Skybet
  • Having made a prediction for the 12:45 kickoff- I'd better get a move on with the rest of these tips. Elsewhere in the Premier League, Everton (10-6-1 at home) should polish off an on-the-beach-and-safe Fulham- Hills will give you 8/15 on the Toffees
  • It's the last day of the season in League 1 today, a league that I personally have hade plenty of success betting on. It's only fair, then, that I share with y'all my tip for today from that league. Bournemouth and Tranmere have gone in opposite directions in the 2nd half of the season- while Tranmere have fallen from title chasers all the way down to their current 11th (their last 16 games: W3, D1, L12), Bournemouth under Eddie Howe have stormed up the league, winning 13 of their last 18. Another win for Bournemouth (who have won their last 8, while Tranmere have lost their last 5) will see the Cherries take the League 1 title. Get on them at the generally available 4/5
  • Delving a little deeper into the leagues, there's a couple of teams to be fancied in the Scottish 3rd Division. Berwick can effectively confirm their play-off place by beating Annan (4/7 with Coral), while Peterhead should continue their recent excellent form, which has helped them up to 2nd place in the league, by beating Clyde at Balmoor (2/5 general)
  • More media coverage of the Bundesliga! After the midweek exploits of Bayern & Dortmund, I'm going to be tipping 3rd place Bayer Leverkusen to beat Werder Bremen. Leverkusen are in good form (only the 2 aforementioned Bundesligasuperpowers (in German, that is all 1 word) have beaten them at the BayArena this season), while Bremen are in a horrible mess right now- no win in their last 9, and with 2 key attackers (Marko Arnautovic & Eljero Elia) both suspended by the club having been caught speeding. With their defence is as abysmal as ever (no clean sheets away from home all season), all the signs point to a Leverkusen win (4/9 general), with enough in hand to cover a -1 handicap (Evens with Stan James)
And if your ass ain't down with that, I got 2 words for ya:

SUCK IT!
