Bet of the Day
Sheffield Wednesday to beat Swansea @ 13/8
Swansea City snapped a run of 5 straight defeats when beating Bristol City at Ashton Gate on Sunday, but that victory was greater than just a little fortunate and it may very well be normal service resumed when the Swans host Sheffield Wednesday.
Luke Williams’ men lost the shot count 19-9 and the corner count 11-3 against the Robins and Josh Tymon’s second-half winner was only the fourth goal Swansea have scored of their last eight games.
The Swans managed just one shot heading in the right direction of their latest home contest, which was a 2-0 defeat to Coventry City and Wednesday look an excellent bet to depart south Wales with three points.
The Owls were beaten 2-1 at West Brom last day out, however the Baggies are an excellent side and Wednesday were no less than a match for Tony Mowbray’s men.
At 13/8, Wednesday appear like a pleasant value play.
Special of the Day
Over 3.5 goals in Celtic v Bayern Munich @ 1/1
Celtic have to provide up quality and skill to Bayern Munich, however the Bhoys could have a packed Parkhead crowd to call on and it would be an intimidating atmosphere for even European football’s top performers.
The Hoops have scored 34 goals of their last 10 Celtic Park matches and, while those strikes have come against far weaker opposition, Brendan Rodgers’ men look able to contributing to a high-scoring clash.
Celtic’s defence is unlikely to rise up to Bayern’s formidable attack, however the Bhoys forward line could cause the Bavarians problems and over 3.5 goals is the play in Glasgow.
Longshot of the Day
Everton to beat Liverpool @ 6/1
Liverpool proceed to force the pace at the highest of the Premier League table, but perhaps the Reds’ 1-0 FA Cup defeat to Plymouth could also be an indication of things to return for Arne Slot’s men.
The Dutchman took the chance to rest lots of his senior players for the trip to Home Park, but it surely was still a hugely disappointing defeat and for all that the Reds must be fresh for the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, the preparation doesn’t look ideal.
The Reds are a improbable team, but that doesn’t mean Slot’s men haven’t enjoyed their justifiable share of fortune in away wins at Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest and Brentford and draws at Arsenal and Newcastle could have easily led to defeats.
Everton look rejuvenated under David Moyes and motivation might be at its peak with the Toffees hosting the ultimate Goodison Park Merseyside derby.
At 6/1 Everton are a cracking price and the Toffees could be backed to spring a Merseyside surprise.
