FOOTBALL – LEAGUE CUP SEMI-FINALS

The second leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals take place this week and the two favourites ahead of the first leg are looking to overturn deficits.

Arsenal – fresh off the back of a 5-1 demolition over Manchester City in the league – are 7/2 to recover from a 2-0 home defeat against Newcastle United a few weeks ago. With the Geordies losing two of their last three matches, they have been priced up at 21/20 in the 90-minute market with an Arsenal win at 23/20 and the draw at 5/2.

Swedish striker Alexander Isak scored in the first leg and has been the source of constant tabloid speculation linking him with a move to the Emirates. The former Real Sociedad man has been boosted from 31/20 to 9/5 to add to his tally of 19 goals this campaign.

In Thursday’s clash, Liverpool are heavy favourites to progress in a tie which surely must contain plenty of goals. At 3/10 to qualify and 2/9 to win, the Reds are likely to be lining up a Wembley with Spurs 12/5 to make it to the Wembley showpiece despite holding a one goal lead from the first leg.

That match at Anfield was both a shock in terms of Spurs winning on the road, but also the fact there was only one goal in the match. Our traders fancy there to be plenty of goalmouth action this time around with our Total Goals football spread betting market available to buy or sell at 3.85-4.15.

AMERICAN FOOTBALL – SUPER BOWL

The Kansas City Chiefs have reached a fifth Super Bowl in six attempts and it will be a repeat of the 2023 edition as they prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans.

On that occasion, the Chiefs outscored the Eagles 17-8 in the final quarter to win 38-35 in one of the all-time classics, and it could be a similarly close affair this time around with Kansas 5/6 to win and Philadelphia even money. This translates to a 0-2 Supremacy spread in Kansas’ favour with Total Points available to trade at 48-51.

As an alternative to backing a Chiefs win, you may want to look at Patrick Mahomes with the Texan priced at 21/20 to be the MVP. The 29-year-old has won the Super Bowl three times with the Chiefs and has been named the MVP on each occasion. Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is 5/2 in the same market with Mahomes’ opposite number and fellow Texan Jalen Hurts priced at 3/1.

RUGBY UNION – SIX NATIONS

The Six Nations continues this weekend and there are three games which should be relatively tight affairs. Having been trounced by the French last weekend, Wales have been made the underdogs in their clash with Italy in Rome. The Azzurri are favoured at 6-9 points on our Supremacy spread with -6.5 at 4/5.

The evening kick-off sees England make their Twickenham bow against France, with the visitors 10/11 to overcome a -5.5 handicap. Admittedly the Welsh didn’t put up much of a fight in Paris, but France were electric as they ran out 43-0 winners. Total Points is available to trade at 45-48 while you can buy or sell France points at 24.5-26.5.

Finally, the closest match in terms of the odds sees Ireland made 4.5 point favourites in their trip to Murrayfield on Sunday. The Irish are 1/2 to in the 90-minute market, with the draw at 20/1, and a home win at 13/8. Scotland are winless against Ireland in their last ten attempts, but they got their campaign off to a perfect start with a 31-19 win over Italy last weekend.
