PREVIEW
We’re on the cusp of hitting 200 points profit in May after a win for Rotherham last night in their play off match gave us a profit of 12.7 points on the day and 192 points on the month.
What better way to get the. 200 up than in the FA Cup Final?
Sadly, it’s not the event it used to be in the Champions League era but it’s still a big deal and Arsenal seem to be confident – they already have the victory bus already painted up !!
It would be dangerous to write off Hull. They have exceeded expectations all season – very few gave them any hope of staying up in the Premier League, and a bit like with Wigan last year they can come to Wembley without much pressure on them. However, their Premier League survival is down solely to their good early season form and more recently they have not been playing well.
Silverware has eluded Arsenal since 2005 and the future of manager Wenger is still very much in the balance despite his insistence that the the FA Cup result will have ‘no bearing’ on his position.
Arsenal ran out comfortable winners over Hull in both league matches this season and are around 1.48 on BETDAQ to take the trophy inside 90 minutes. They will be boosted by the expected return of Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil after injury.
Arsenal HT / FT looks the play on BETDAQ at around 2.25. If it comes in we’ll be celebrating +200 in May.
RECOMMENDATION: (1-10 points per bet)
8 points ARSENAL HT/FT at around 2.25 on BETDAQ
THURSDAY: +12.70 points
MAY RETURN TO DATE: +192.46 points
