Thursday Football Bet Of The Day

Tottenham vs Manchester United

Prediction: Away team to win
Odds: 2.47
Reason: Despite missing a number of key players due to injury issues, Manchester United are the favourites to win this game, thanks to Tottenham’s unconvincing form. Spurs lost their last two matches including a 6-1 defeat at Newcastle United last weekend. And the last time but teams met, United won 2-0 at home. The Red Devils did the league double over Spurs last season, and I’ve backed them to replicate that again this season.

Villarreal vs Espanyol

Prediction: Home team to win
Odds: 1.55
Reason: Villarreal may have lost their last two matches, having previously won three LaLiga games on a bounce, but they are the favourites to win this game against Espanyol, thanks to the visitors’ poor form (1D4L).

Southampton vs Bournemouth

Prediction: Away team to win or draw
Odds: 1.59
Reason: Although Southampton are the favourites to win this game, their current form speaks otherwise. They didn’t win a game in their last five matches and because Bournemouth have two wins in their last five, I feel the Cherries could avoid a defeat at St Mary’s Stadium tonight.

Athletic Bilbao vs Sevilla

Prediction: Home team to win or draw
Odds: 1.19
Reason: Both teams are in top form in recent weeks, having won their last three matches. It’s a tight game for both teams, both because Athletic Bilbao are the better side, I’ve backed them to avoid a defeat at home to Sevilla.

Al Seeb vs Sohar

Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Odds: 1.46
Reason: The Oman League doesn’t produce too many goals and this game looks exactly like a game that would lack goals.

Everton vs Newcastle United

Prediction: Away team to win or draw
Odds: 1.16
Reason: Newcastle United won Spurs 6-1 at home last weekend. They are fighting to finish in the top four and as a result, they can’t afford to drop points in games they can win. Everton are winless in their last five games, hence The Magpies are likely to avoid a defeat at Everton.
