Premier League Betting: Are Fulham Europe’s most improved club?

Fulham were on the brink of relegation when Roy Hodgson arrived at the club just over two years ago. Now they’re in the last eight of the Europa League. Feizal Rahman discusses the rise and rise of the Cottagers. “Their progress from relegation fodder to seventh place last season must make Fulham the most improved club in England, if not Europe.” In 1996, whilst the mighty Juventus were claiming a Champions League trophy, Fulham were at an all-time low – finishing 17th in the old Division Three. Fourteen years on and the small family club of West London dramatically edge the Italian behemoth out of the Europa League

The Over/Under 2.5 Goals Betting Column: Dodgy defences mean goals at Upton Park

Expect a closer game at the Bridge than you may expect

Ed Nicholson takes a detailed look at the Premier League fixture list, and points out three bets (two with savers) worth placing in his beloved under/over 2.5 goal column…. “I simply can’t see Wolves scoring – so can Chelsea score three goals or more?

The Championship Betting: Surprise package Blackpool can heap more misery on the Royals

In his regular ‘profit-making’ Championship preview, Andrew French is of the opinion that Blackpool can prevent Reading from recording an elusive home victory, whilst Sheffield United are set to put a few months of hurt behind them. “Their (Blackpool) away form isn’t too clever but they have managed to grind out back-to-back draws on the road, and I can see them getting at least a point in this one.” While much of the attention at the top of the Championship has focussed on the likes of Newcastle and West Brom, over in West London things are quietly falling into place for QPR . Ever since they acquired some wealthy backers, the Hoops have been tipped for a rise to the Premier League but it’s only recently they have started to show form to match

Premier League Betting Preview: Chelsea v Manchester United

Chelsea appointed Carlo Ancelotti to help them win the Champions League, but the Italian looks like he’s going to collect the Premier League trophy almost by default, writes James Eastham as he selects the best bets from Sunday’s big game. Recommended bets: Chelsea v Manchester United draw @ 3.4 ; Chelsea to keep a clean sheet @ 2.94 ; the second-half to have most goals @ 2.12 . Liverpool are out of the race, Arsenal will struggle to sustain their challenge (although they’re a good bet to finish second) and Sunday’s opponents Manchester United are undoubtedly a weaker side than they were last season.

Rugby League Four Nations Betting: Odds reflect England’s decline

George Riley fears that the gap between England and their Southern hemisphere opponents has increased in the last year. However, our man is still looking forward to the young guns giving it a go… “Watching the Aussies and Kiwis bash each other around the Stoop last weekend, my heart sunk imagining what would happen to England seven days later. Now we shall find out.” The question I’ve been asking myself and other rugby league folk this week, is just how big the gap is between England and the Southern hemisphere superpowers.

Champions League Betting: 2-3 correct scoreline matched at 250 as Pato stuns Real Madrid

All the in-running prices on Betfair on an action-packed night of Champions League betting… “Going into injury-time the draw traded as low as 1.31 but it was the aforementioned Pato who had the last laugh with a well-taken winner.
