The Bookmaker Ratings vs WhoScored Predictions Battle: Round 10
Tancredi’s tips:
Manchester United vs Leicester City (in full here):
Manchester United won’t simply bow just to please all who are waiting for Leicester to win the title. And they are still fully in the race for 4th spot, against the usual inconsistent Arsenal and Manchester City. Add in the fact that in 2016 at home, United have seven wins and one defeat and this becomes a tricky task for the visitors. The odds on a draw at 3.30 are in fact lower than the odds on a Leicester win. By the way, Tottenham will be at Chelsea on Monday night, so a draw will be warmly welcomed by Leicester.
Chelsea vs Tottenham (in full here):
Chelsea are in the best psychological position facing Tottenham: it’s a derby, one they are motivated for not by their own achievements, but by the thought of tarnishing the achievements of their opponents. Spurs title dreams are effectively over, but the hosts would love nothing more than to end them for definite. Pochettino’s side haven’t tended to conceded that much this season, but they have been involved in games with 3 or more goals in three of their last five. Over 2.5 goals, at odds of 1.90, looks a good bet once more.
Martin’s tips:
Manchester United vs Leicester City
If there’s one fixture that looks tough to win in order to secure the title right now, it’s a trip to Manchester United. The Red Devils’ current streak of six consecutive home victories is the longest of any team in the Premier League all season, but Leicester will certainly pose their hosts problems.
The Foxes have won at least one half in each of their last 15 league matches, so odds of a repeat of the visitors to come out on top in either half at 2.37 are very tempting indeed. It’s also a good way to avoid a bet on an outright result in a game that is so tough to call.
Chelsea vs Tottenham
It’s a long time since Tottenham would have been favourites – albeit slight favourites – to win at Stamford Bridge, but that is the case according to William Hill on Monday. With so much riding on the Leicester result the day before, that may well have an impact on the game, although both sides will be desperate to win regardless, with no love lost between the two.
Chelsea’s defensive record at home has been terrible since Hiddink took charge, failing to keep a clean sheet in the league at the Bridge since November, so Tottenham will be confident of extending that run. With Dele Alli suspended the pressure will be on Harry Kane even more than usual, with the England international at 2.90 to be Tottenham’s first goalscorer against Chelsea, which has been the case in each of Spurs’ last three away games.
