The Premier League returned in June – but, with stiff competition from La Liga, Serie A and the Primeira Liga, does it make the Top 5 Spread Bets of June?

5. La Liga Saturday TV Specials Group
Date: 27.06.20
Market: Goals Cubed (Total Goals across the selected matches cubed)
Make-up: 2,744
Initial spread: 1,080-1,255
Potential profit: 1,489 x initial stake

On the surface of it, Saturday 27th June’s La Liga fixtures weren’t anything special. A 3-1 win for Athletic Bilbao against Mallorca, a 2-1 win for Osasuna over Leganes, a 2-1 win for Atletico Madrid against Alaves and, in something slightly more shocking, a 2-2 draw between Celta Vigo and Barcelona.

4. Juventus v Lecce, Serie A
Date: 26.06.20
Market: Total Goal Minutes x Corners
Make-up: 4,544
Initial spread: 2,050-2,250
Potential profit: 2,294 x initial stake

Juve have had a strong showing post-restart, extending their Serie A winning stream to 6 games. One of those victories was a 4-0 thumping of Lecce, in a game that included 16 corners total, and 2 goals after the 80th minute mark.

With the Total Goal Minutes running to 284, the Total Goal Minutes x Corners market came in at 4,544. Buy at a starting price of 2,050-2,250 and that’s 2,295 times your initial stake.

3. Judd Trump v John Higgins, 2020 Tour Championship
Date: 21.06.20
Market: Frame3 Multi Points (Player A Frame3 Points x Player B Frame3 Points)
Make-up: 4,422
Initial spread: 1,422-1,572
Potential profit: 2,850 x initial stake

Breaking up the football monopoly in June is Judd Trump and John Higgins’s Tour Championship quarter-final – a match Trump won, before losing in the semis to eventual victor Stephen Maguire.

Higgins narrowly took the 3rd frame of their face-off 67-66, leading to a Frame3 Multi Points makeup of 4,422. Buy at an opening spread of 1,422-1,572, and you were left with 2,850 times your original wager.

2. Premier League 6pm TV Group
Date: 24.06.20
Market: Corners Bonanza (Total Corners per game, multiplied together)
Make-up: 24,750
Initial spread: 13,200-14,700
Potential profit: 10,050 x initial stake

No single Premier League fixture managed to make it onto this list. However, the 6pm kick-offs from Wednesday 24th June earn the competition 2nd place thanks to a mad amount of corners.

There were 10 during Wolves against Bournemouth, 11 between Norwich and Everton, and 15 during both Newcastle versus Aston Villa and Man United’s win over Sheffield United.

Multiple those numbers together and you get a Corners Bonanza makeup of 24,750. Take off a starting price of 13,200-14,700, and you’re left with 10,050 times your initial bet.

1. Rio Ave v Braga, Primeira Liga
Date: 30.06.20
Market: Shirts x Bookings (Total Shirt Numbers x Total Booking Points)
Make-up: 21,255
Initial spread: 7,800-8,400
Potential profit: 12,855 x initial stake

Taking the top spot is a game that was likely on no-one’s radar. In a battle between 2 sides chasing a spot in next season’s Europa League, Rio Ave fought to a 4-3 victory against Braga, stealing the win with a penalty 6 minutes into injury time.

The man who converted that spotkick was no. 99 Mehdi Taremi, who had already scored the first equaliser of the fixture in the 34th minute. That meant Taremi contributed close two-thirds of a Shirt Numbers makeup of 327.

Meanwhile, a late red card for Rolando – his hand ball gifting Rio Ave their match-winning penalty - helped send Bookings points to 65.

When you multiple those numbers together, you get a Shirts x Bookings makeup of 21,255. Buy at an initial spread of 7,800-8,400, and you could’ve won a month-leading 12,855 times your original stake.
