Manchester United vs Chelsea Predictions & Betting Tips
Sunday sees Manchester United host Chelsea in the 4:30pm kick-off in the Premier League. After…
The first of our December 8 Premier League betting tips is Bournemouth v Liverpool. It’s the second leg of a double header from the Premier League this week; following the goings on in midweek we now turn our attentions to what promises to be a thrilling weekend round. The action gets started with this Saturday 12.30pm match shown live on Sky Sports where The Cherries aim to upset the odds and defeat The Reds. Easier said than done given the away side’s form this season. However, if Premier League punters have learned anything from following the top-flight of English football it’s that nothing can be taken for granted. Bournemouth fans will know that better than anyone as they pack the stadium.
The locals moved to sixth in the week with a win over Huddersfield at this venue on Tuesday night; they now have every chance of finishing in a European spot as we head towards a crucial festive period. Wilson had the ball in the net inside five minutes to give his employers the lead; that set the pace for the evening, helping settle any nerves and drive Bournemouth towards victory. Fraser added a second on 22 and that proved enough to hold off a Terriers fightback led by Kongolo who halved the deficit on 38. Three goals before half-time… but that was the end of the scoring.
There’s a real buzz about Liverpool at the minute as fans start to allow themselves to dream of a Premier League challenge. They have matched a supremely talented Man City side stride for stride so far and, at the very least, are ensuring The Cityzens don’t get things all their own way as they attempt to live up to the pre-season betting and win two-in-a-row. We have a title race on our hands and that’s great news for neutrals. Liverpool won last weekend to take their stats to 11-3-0.
A third win on the bounce was completed thanks to a 1-0 over Everton at Anfield in a gripping Merseyside Derby last Sunday. The teams looked to be heading up the tunnel for a 0-0 and that wouldn’t have been too harsh on anyone; however, Jordan Pickford made a real howler in The Toffees goal and it allowed Origi to score the winner on 96 minutes. A stunning finish but we expected nothing less as the rivals went into the match with confidence high. Klopp has since been punished for his celebrations, but he’ll see that as a small price to pay for the points.
Despite both having genuine claims on the points, bookmakers have had no trouble setting Liverpool up as favourites and backers will find the away day priced at 4/6 with all major firms, including Ladbrokes. That bet won’t make you rich on its own; however, we do expect to see it included in a fair share of accumulators and it’ll do a job in helping to boost your returns. Another Liverpool win to nil offers a shot at a better price with 11/5 at Bet365.
Bournemouth have been written off and that’s a dangerous tactic, especially at home. They have a reputation for making life difficult for opponents here and will set-up to do the same. The locals are 15/4 with Bet365 and that’s outsider of three in the match betting, behind the draw at 3/1 with the same firm.
