Man City get back on track, Liverpool rebound against Leipzig, and PSG knock out Barcelona – but how much money did football spread betting punters make?

How many goals have Southampton conceded this season?
After losing Sunday’s Manchester derby, it was always going to be interesting to see how City recovered. Turns out that defeat was just a blip, the champions-elect cathartically hammering Southampton 5-2 – the most goals they’ve scored since January.

Buy a Total Goals spread of 3-3.2 and you came away with 3.8 times your initial stake. Or, buy a Total Goal Minutes spread of 151-161, and a makeup of 295 won you 134 times your opening bet.

Both Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez scored braces on Wednesday – but which one made bettors more money?

Scoring in the 15th and 59th minutes, De Bruyne’s SMM makeup hit 133. Buy at 31-37, and that’s 96 times your original wager.

Mahrez, on the other hand, scored in the 40th and 55th minutes, leading to a superior SMM makeup of 150. So, even when factoring in a higher starting spread of 33-39, the Algerian won you more money – 111 times your initial bet, in fact.

Denied a penalty by VAR, Phil Foden still had a huge role to play in Wednesday’s win, helping both De Bruyce and Mahrez complete their braces. Pushing his Assist Minutes makeup to 114, buying Foden’s AM spread of 16-19 left you with 95 times your opening stake.

Still likely safe from a relegation scrap, the Saints have nevertheless conceded 49 goals this season, a tally bested only by West Brom’s 56. City, meanwhile, have the strongest attack and the tightest defence, at 61 and 21 goals respectively.

How many goals has salah scored this season?
Liverpool secured their spot in the Champions League quarter-finals with a 2-0 win over RB Leipzig.

Crucially, both Mo Salah and Sadio Mane were on target, boosting hopes that the pair will be back to their best for Monday’s trip to Wolves.

Buy Salah’s PGM spread of 22-25, and his 70th minute strike - his 25th of the season - won you 45 times your original bet.

But back Mane at a PGM spread of 16-19, and his 74th minute goal netted you 55 times your starting stake.

How many goals has Kylian Mbappe scored in the Champions League?
Less electrifying than their 1st leg, PSG held Barcelona to a 1-1 draw to reach the Champions League quarter-finals.

Fittingly, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe both got on the scoresheet, the former with his 120th Champions League goal and the latter with his 25th. If the game wasn’t already laden down with symbolism, Mbappe’s penalty also meant he overtook Messi to become the youngest person in the competition’s history to reach that 25 goal milestone.

Mbappe was the better bet on the night, as well – buy a PSG Penalty Goal Mintues spread of 10-13, and his 30th minute opener bagged you 17 times your initial stake.
