Man City vs West Ham Preview

England, Premier League, Wednesday, May 3rd, 20:00 (UK)

When I was chucked the keys to Wednesday night’s games by bettingexpert, the immediate reaction was to head to City vs West Ham to see if there were any prices to take advantage of. That was wishful thinking – City at home and value prices favouring the home side? Rarely. After all, City have won eight consecutive Premier League games to an aggregate score of 24-6.

Instead, what can be done is to utilise bet365’s bet builder combining more than one outcome. If you think it’ll be another City romp as they seek to continue to chase down Arsenal, then the -1 Handicap may be a good place to start at a skinny 1.57. That’s admittedly not something I’d ever take on its own in a Premier League match but added to a Player Shots pick that has every chance, and you may have my attention.

Julian Alvarez was at his usual best against Fulham, complimenting Erling Haaland in forward areas and always looking lively. The Argentine would play a key role at any other Premier League side, and I’m positive of that. However, under Pep at City, he’ll have to get used to playing a bit-part role. Nevertheless, if he gets his chance again, you can be sure he’ll put in another 7+/10 performance and be involved when City get going in the final third.

Man City vs West Ham Best Bet

Alvarez has a 2.97 shots per90 strike rate from 11.1 90s in the top flight this season. That ranks him 17th out of all players who have played 10+ 90s – not a bad player to get behind.

Adding Julian Alvarez to hit over 1.5 shots gets us to 1.83 as a bet builder. If City arrives at their dominating best, hopefully, they can outmuscle a Hammers side looking increasingly capable of avoiding the drop

Selection: Man City -1 Handicap and Julian Alvarez O1.5 Shots
Best Odds: 1.83 (bet365)
Stakes: 7.5/10

Woking vs Bromley Preview

England, National League, May 3rd, 19:45 (UK)

Woking have got the better of Bromley on both occasions this season, but it’s the visitors who come into the playoffs in a vein of form that often catapults a side into contention to claw their way out of the division. Bromley haven’t lost in nine games, and what a time of the season to serve up a run like that.

The hosts may have eleven more points and come into the game as 1.90 favourites, but the suggested selection will instead favour the visitors. A side not used to losing in recent times will be full of confidence that they can hold out when heading into a tie like this.

Woking vs Bromley Best Bet

Naturally, I think we can expect a tentative, cagey affair to open up the tie, with the first half hosting 45 minutes where both teams settle into the game and feel out their opponent. That will come across as a generalised assumption, although it’s human nature in football to be cautiously apprehensive with a defeat dumping one side out of the playoffs on the night.

In the hope that trail of thought is the correct one, the +0.25 First Half Asian Handicap in Bromley’s favour will pay us out in the event of a draw when the first half whistle blows.

Selection: Bromley +0.25 Asian Handicap
Best Odds: 1.73 (bet365)
Stakes: 2/10

Stade Brest vs Nantes Preview

France, Ligue 1, Wednesday, May, 3rd, 20:00 (UK)

Antoine Kombouare will need to drag his sides’ disappointment from the gutter following the 1-5 Coupe de France final defeat and get them to a level where they’re able to put in a shift as they travel to play Stade Brest. The sizable Ligue 1 fixture comes just four days after Toulouse won their first-ever major trophy at Natnes’ expense.

Sat in 16th and 17th, respectively, with Stade Brest occupying the final relegation spot and both teams on 32 points – the result here is as important as it gets with six games left. Only two goals separate the teams on goal difference, something that may act as an additional point when all is said and done.

I wouldn’t want to hang my hate on either to register three points, nor would I want to decide on whether this will be a cagey low-scoring affair, but I may just have a punt on bookings to rear their head. The game is that important. Ligue 1 status is at stake; survival is there for the taking.

Stade Brest vs Nantes Best Bet

Now, the referee is not the most frivolous, but Willy Delajod’s 76% strike rate for both teams to receive a card and his 3.33 yellows per90 offer a level of assurance that bookings will come. Considering the game state and what the 90 minutes mean to both teams as the games swiftly pass them by, perhaps those card averages can increase for one night in Brest.

The 1.67 cards received per90 at home for Stade Brest compliments the 2.06 shown to Nantes when they travel, but again, we’ll need a little more from either team to get the Over 3.5 cards over the line on Wednesday night. It certainly has a punter’s chance.

Selection: Both Teams Carded & O3.5 Cards
Best Odds: 1.86 (bet365)
Stakes: 5/10

Odds as at 10:30 on 2nd May 2023. Odds may now differ.

WHAT IS A FOOTBALL ACCA?

A football acca is an accumulator bet, a type of bet that consists of several selections across different matches that are combined together into one single bet. An acca usually. consists of at least four selections but many more can be included. There will be odds for the single bet as a whole which is calculated by multiplying the odds of all of the selections. A football acca is one of the most popular ways to bet. This is the case because they can create potentially massive odds for a small stake. Many punters choose to create football accas which is what we have created here. If one of these selections loses then the football acca will lose. This type of bet needs every selection to win in order to succeed.
