Southampton dealt Liverpool’s title defence a significant blow on Monday – but how much money did football spread betting fans win? It’s the Daily Sports Spread Betting Roundup!

When was the last time Southampton beat Liverpool?
After 6 consecutive league defeats to Liverpool, Southampton beat the Reds for the first time in 4 years on Monday night – and first time in the Prem since March 2016.

It was all over after just 2 minutes, as a cheeky lob for former Liverpool forward Danny Ings gave the hosts a 1-0 victory.

That meant spread betters needed to do a fair amount of selling to make any money.

Sell an Ings PGM spread of 18-21, and that’s 16 times your initial stake. Sell a James Ward-Prowse Assist Minutes spread of 6-8, meanwhile, and that’s 4 times your opening bet.

Better yet, sell a 1st Southampton Goal spread of 57-60, and you were left with 55 times your original wager. Or sell a Total Goal Minutes spread of 166-181 for a whopping 164 times your starting stake.

You also needed to sell a Liverpool/Southampton (h) Goal Supremacy spread of 1.15-1.35 to make 2.15 times your opening wager.

Where will Southampton finish in 2020/21?
Monday’s victory lifts Southampton back into the congested race for 4th place. They’re currently in 6th, on the same 29 points as Tottenham, Man City and Everton, but with at least one more game played than all of those sides.

With multiple teams poised to overtake the Saints if they win their games in hand, Spreadex is offering Southampton at a Finishing Positions spread of 8.25-9.75, and a Season Points spread of 56-57.5.

What are the odds on Liverpool retaining the Premier League title?
The Reds are now under pressure from both halves of Manchester. If United win their game in hand, they will go top on 36 points, 3 ahead of Liverpool. If City win both of their games in hand, meanwhile, they would also overtake the Reds, on 35 points.

Yet it is City who are fancied for the title, not United. Pep Guardiola’s lot are at a Season Points spread of 81.5-83, a Finishing Positions spread of 1.45-1.65, and are now odds on at 17/20.

In comparison, Liverpool are at 77-78.5, 2.15-2.35 and 12/5 respectively, while United are at 72-73.5, 3.1-4.1 and 11/2.
