With two games to spare, Leicester have finally achieved the impossible and one of the biggest upsets in sporting history has finally come to fruition.
The bookies stand to lose millions of pounds as they pay out those who took a punt on the Foxes and you can heap the misery on the bookmakers with our seven both teams to score betting tips for the weekend ahead.
Saturday 7th May 2016
- Preston North End v Leeds United (23/20 with Coral) – A ridiculous number of Leeds’ recent matches have seen both sides hit the back of the net and we think that this one will be no different. Neither side has anything to play for as Simon Grayson, Neil Kilkenny, Paul Huntingdon and Jermaine Beckford prepare to face their former employers.
- Sunderland v Chelsea (8/13 with BetVictor) – This should be a cracking game at the Stadium of Light as Sunderland go in search of vital points. The home side have hit the back of the net regularly and they have one of the best goalscoring records in the bottom half. However, Chelsea will fancy their chances of getting past this leaky Mackem defence.
- West Ham v Swansea City (10/11 with Betfred) – West Ham have seen a number of their games end in big scorelines and we think the Hammers have enough about them to power their way past Swansea in this one. However, Francesco Guidolin’s side did hit three in a win over Liverpool last week.
- Leicester City Everton (4/7 with Betfred) – This game has got goals written all over it, especially as Leicester will now be able to call upon the services of Jamie Vardy after he returns from suspension The Foxes have seen both sides score in two of their last three matches in the league and we expect that to happen in this one.
Sunday 8th May 2016
- Tottenham Hotspur v Southampton (7/10 with Bet365) – Tottenham Hotspur have scored 67 goals this season and although they have nothing to play for any more (other than avoiding St Totteringham’s day!) they should still be able to find the back of the net against Southampton. Ronald Koeman’s side’s last two league matches have finished 4-2 to the Saints and predict plenty more goals in this one.
- Liverpool v Watford (10/11 with Betfred) – Watford should have enough about them to find the back of the net against what will be a well rotated squad following Liverpool’s Europa League exploits. However, Liverpool are not short on firepower and they will be out for revenge after the Hornets beat them back in December.
- Manchester City v Arsenal (4/7 with Bet365) – These two sides have plenty of goals in them and with the scrap for the Champions League places heating up, this could be a fiery encounter. City have been scoring lately, but they have looked sloppy at the back and they are likely to be fatigued after their European semi final exploits against Real Madrid on Wednesday evening.
