Betting Tips: Barclays Premier League April 21

[bettingtipository]

6 betting tips for today’s Barclays Premier League matches: Arsenal vs Chelsea Date: April 21, 2012 / Venue: Emirates Stadium Table: Arsenal (3rd) / Chelsea (6th) Last 5 games: Arsenal WLWWL / Chelsea LDWWD Injuries / Suspensions: Arsenal (Arteta, Wilshere, Mertesacker) / Chelsea (Luiz, Drogba, Ivanovic) Betting Tips Analysis Chelsea come into this game in buoyant mood, after securing a wonderful performance over Barcelona in mid-week. The 2nd leg at Camp Nou is no doubt important, and several players will be rested after a busy schedule. The Blues continues to impress under interim manager Di Matteo, having won 10 of their last 13 games. Arsenal, on the other hand, were poor against Wigan in their last match at home. However, Arsenal tend to perform well when they are up against the bigger boys. A win today will almost put them in pole position for that 3rd place. Head to head record between the 2 at Emirates favors the Blues with 3 wins in 4 games. Arsenal’s only focus left is on the league, there’s no need to rest players. Although they are up against a tired Chelsea side with an aging squad, I believe Di Matteo’s men will put in another efficient performance once again and prove they still have what it takes. Go for Chelsea. Asian Handicap Chelsea +1/2 Aston Villa vs Sunderland Date: April 21, 2012 / Venue: Villa Park Table: Villa (15th) / Sunderland (9th) Last 5 games: Villa LLDDL / Sunderland WDDLD Injuries / Suspensions: Villa (Bent, Delph, Dunne) / Sunderland (Bramble, Brown, Angeleri) Betting Tips Analysis Aston Villa is a team in trouble. They won only 1 game in their last 11 and continues to perform poorly under Alex McLeish. They lie dangerously just 6 points above the drop zone. While Sunderland recent form has not been too good either, winless in their last 4 games, they are still sitting pretty comfortable in mid-table. I expect Villa’s slump to continue against Martin O’Neill’s men. Asian Handicap Sunderland +1/4 Fulham vs Wigan Date: April 21, 2012 / Venue: Craven Cottage Table: Fulham (10th) / Wigan (16th) Last 5 games: Fulham LLWWD / Wigan WWLWW Injuries / Suspensions: Fulham (Ruiz) / Wigan (Crusat) Betting Tips Analysis The Latics, flying high after beating Arsenal recently, is the in-form team at the moment, notching 4 wins out of 5 matches. Fulham’s recent form is not baad either and will not be an easy team. However, Fulham has nothing to really play for and a side like Wigan battling relegation is always dangerous. Therefore, I predict a draw for this game and my betting tip is to take Wigan on the Asian Handicap. Asian Handicap Wigan +1/2 Newcastle vs Stoke Date: April 21, 2012 / Venue: St James’ Park Table: Newcastle (5th) / Stoke (14th) Last 5 games: Newcastle WWWWW / Stoke DDLWD Injuries / Suspensions: Newcastle (Perch, Lovenkrands, Taylor, Sammy Ameobi, Marveaux) / Stoke (Pennant, Sidibe) Betting Tips Analysis Newcastle is another in-form team in the league at the moment. The Magpies has a real chance of Champions League football next season and will look to take another 3 points to heap more pressure on Tottenham (experiencing a bit of a slump) and Arsenal (playing host to Chelsea). Cisse, Ben Arfa, and Ba have been delivering the goods so far and should possibly do so tonight against a Stoke side who’s weaker away. Go for Newcastle for a win. Asian Handicap Newcastle -3/4 QPR vs Tottenham Date: April 21, 2012 / Venue: Loftus Road Stadium Table: QPR (17th) / Tottenham (4th) Last 5 games: QPR LWLWL / Tottenham DDWDL Injuries / Suspensions: QPR (Faurlin, Dyer) / Tottenham (Huddlestone, Dawson) Betting Tips Analysis QPR is another team battling relegation. With Bolton having played 2 games lesser, Mark Hughes’ side will need all the points they can to avoid the drop. They can be motivated by the fact that big teams such as Liverpool and Arsenal have lost at Loftus Road. Tottenham, after being hammered by Chelsea in the FA Cup, looks increasingly unlikely to stay in their current 4th position. A share of the spoils probably, so my betting tip goes to QPR. Asian Handicap QPR +1/2 Blackburn vs Norwich Date: April 21, 2012 / Venue: Ewood Park Table: Blackburn (19th) / Norwich (11th) Last 5 games: Blackburn LLLLL / Norwich WLDWL Injuries / Suspensions: Blackburn (Yakubu, Hanley, Salgado, Grella) / Norwich (Vaughan, Ayala, Tierney, Rudd) Betting Tips Analysis Blackburn Rovers is one of my teams destined for the drop. Norwich has no motivation to play for in the league and it’s these kind of teams that Blackburn should face. However, their trouble on and off the field looks unlikely for them to turn their fortunes around against Norwich. Asian Handicap Norwich +1/2
