PREMIER LEAGUE: The Striker previews LIVERPOOL v WOLVES and TOTTENHAM v MANCHESTER UNITED both with a recommended BETDAQ bet.
LIVERPOOL V WOLVES
2pm We have a wonderful Super Sunday in store from the Premier League on BETDAQ BETTING EXCHANGE! Liverpool are back in action after their drama filled Merseyside Derby during the week, and then Spurs host Manchester United. No doubt we’ll have plenty of talking points from that game given those two sides have been the butt of most jokes in the Premier League this season! We kick off the day with Liverpool hosting Wolves though, and most football fans will be expecting a comfortable win for the league leaders here. Liverpool come into the game as the red-hot favourites at 1.21 with Wolves 15.0 and the draw is 8.8 at the time of writing. That 1.21 is the shortest price of the weekend in the Premier League; fair to say we’ll have to look around the side markets for some value here! Arne Slot may have paid the price for resting some of his key players in the FA Cup as they got knocked out in the Fourth Round but they do have a hectic fixture list coming up – the Merseyside Derby the weekend is followed by this, they then play Aston Villa away midweek and then Manchester City away next Super Sunday.
That’s a couple of pretty difficult fixtures, so they can’t afford to drop points here against one of the worst sides in the league. Wolves are “lucky” that there are three sides worse sides than them this season! Probably again highlighting the gulf in class between the Premier League and the Championship these days with the money involved in the top flight. For me this is all about how many goals Liverpool can score rather than will they win – they have the best attacking figure in the Premier League this season with an average xG created of 1.95. Wolves have an average xG conceded of 1.6 which is quite high – although the in the bottom five defensive figures in fairness – but they’ve been very sloppy at the back, conceding over two goals per game on average. Liverpool can cover the handicap on the way to winning here, and the 1.5 goal handicap makes a lot of appeal at 1.6. We have one of the best attacking sides here against one of the worst defensive sides, I’d have the 1.5 handicap price shorter and the 1.6 is a confident bet in my opinion.

Three points win Liverpool -1.5 goals to beat Wolves at 1.6 with BETDAQ BETTING EXCHANGE

TOTTENHAM V MANCHESTER UNITED
4.30pm What better fixture for the Super Sunday prime TV slot? Spurs host Manchester United in the clash of the jokers to be honest – these two clubs have been all over the place this season. It feels like a long time ago now that they were always in the mix for a Top Four finish, now they could into this weekend sitting beside each other in 13th and 14th. It’s not a surprise to see such an open betting heat; it is hard to have any faith in either of these sides to be honest. Spurs are the favourites with home advantage at 2.56 with Manchester United 2.84 and the draw is 3.85 at the time of writing. Spurs finally broke their seven games run without a win when beating Brentford, but then quickly after that exited the FA Cup. It’s been a tough run recently for Ange Postecoglou – that comment that he always wins a trophy in his second season is gone now after Liverpool hammered them in the Carabao Cup Semi-Final second leg. You can see the media have been on his back for a while and it is starting to get to him. Ruben Amorim is another man with the media on his back though!
You could make a good argument that United have actually performed better away from home since Amorim took over, so I wouldn’t say being away from home is a disadvantage here. They have been terrible at Old Trafford – you can see Amorim increasingly getting annoyed on the side-line. He just doesn’t have the squad to deliver his tactics to be honest. I’m happy to stay out of the match odds market here, and I completely understand why it’s so open with how both sides have been playing. In my opinion, this game absolutely screams goals – Over 2.5 goals is trading 1.54 and Both Teams To Score is a couple of ticks shorter at 1.49. I have to say I expected to see Overs trading shorter when I clicked into the market; I felt we’d see Overs trading closer to 1.4 even! A mistake is never far away with either of these sides at the back, and I can’t see either of them sitting back. I feel we’re getting so much value at 1.54 that Overs is worth a Five Star NAP to finish the weekend!
