Middlesbrough hope to avoid the relegation trap-door this weekend, but they will have to wait until Tuesday before they play…at Chelsea!
It’s been a long, unforgiving season in the North East. Like the Black Cats, Boro have managed to muster just five wins from 35 football games and that won’t keep you up. Premier League betting forums don’t give Boro a prayer, and maybe praying is exactly what interim boss Steve Agnew needs to do.
Anyway, come on…let’s take a look at this week’s picks. Remember though, while Asian Handicap Betting helps us to find some value, it’s no good for the boys on the pitch!
West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur (May 6, 03:00 GMT+8)
On Saturday, Spurs will hope to make it a long weekend for league leaders, Chelsea, by cutting the gap at the top to a single point with a win at the London Stadium. It hasn’t been a happy hunting ground for the hosts this season but the Hammers are as good as safe, having drawn the last three which include two goalless draws.
I’m going for a 🌟🌟 bet on Under 3 goals paying 1.94 in a tense game.
Hull City vs Sunderland (May 6, 22:00 GMT+8)
Marco Silva has got his Tigers fighting for their lives and they have become fierce opposition on home territory, so you might expect the Black Cats to roll over and get a mauling on Saturday. Nerves are a funny thing though, and with Swansea at home and just two points behind, Hull need a win while Sunderland can finally play without fear.
More tension here and Sunderland, with a 1.25 start, pays 1.85 for a 🌟🌟 bet.
Chelsea vs Middlesbrough (May 9, 03:00 GMT+8)
If, and it’s a big ‘if’, Hull lose to Sunderland then Boro have a stay of execution, even if they lose, as expected to Chelsea. Boro have taken points off top sides this season, including Manchester City last week; and if they can’t get up for this game, they never will. But what a gulf in class between the two sides and I fear, for Boro fans, it could be a brutal end.
With a -2.00 handicap, Chelsea is a 🌟🌟 bet paying 1.83.
