FOOTBALL – LEAGUE CUP SEMI-FINALS

If our League Cup odds are anything to go by, it looks for all the world that Chelsea and Liverpool will once again meet in a domestic final having contested the 2022 final. The Blues are in action tonight against Middlesbrough and they are the unusual price of 6/11 to get a win at the Riverside, with Boro at 24/5 and the draw is 10/3. We also have some boosted bets for tonight’s action with Armando Broja boosted from 6/5 to 7/5 to score anytime and a Chelsea win with both sides scoring 19/10 from 7/4.

In Wednesday’s semi-final first leg, Liverpool host Fulham at Anfield and the Reds are 1/3 to take a win into the second leg. A shock win for the Cottagers is priced at 13/2 whilst the draw is at 17/4.

We have a full suite of markets for both matches including our NameIt Bet Builder, player stats markets and a wide range of football spread betting markets.

TENNIS – AUSTRALIAN OPEN QUALIFYING

Novak Djokovic may well be the even money outright favourite in our Australian Open odds, but for those with an interest in tennis spread betting, there is plenty of action to pique the interest with the qualifying event well underway.

There is plenty of British interest with Jan Choinski and Ryan Peniston amongst the British hopefuls looking to make the men’s draw whilst Yorkshire native Francesca Jones is joined by Harriet Dart and Heather Watson in the quest to make the women’s draw.

Away from the qualifiers, there are ATP events in Adelaide and Auckland and a selection of those playing on the WTA tour are in action at the Hobart International. For a full range of tennis odds and betting check out our latest prices below.

SNOOKER – THE MASTERS

The Masters continues at the Alexandra Palace this week and Ronnie O’Sullivan is the 9/4 favourite in our snooker odds to get his hands on yet another major title. The Rocket will play either Neil Robertson or Barry Hawkins in the next round having beaten Din Junhui 6-3 in his first round clash.

Judd Trump is the 4/9 favourite to beat 9^th seed Kyren Wilson and at 2/7, Mark Selby is thought to have little difficulty in getting the better of Robert Milkins. The tightest clash of the first round ties remaining looks to be Mark Allen’s clash with John Higgins which is scheduled for Wednesday.

Northern Irishman Allen heads to the capital as a narrow 5/6 favourite for the match whilst Higgins, seeded number ten and twice a former winner of this event, can be backed to reach the quarter final at 19/20.

Alongside our fixed odds prices, we have plenty of snooker spread betting markets for each match including Total Frames, Total Points and Total Century Breaks.

GOLF – THE SONY OPEN

After Chris Kirk’s win in The Sentry last weekend, the PGA Tour remains in Hawaii for the Sony Open which looks a terrific event from a golf betting perspective. Ludvig Aberg is the favourite at 16/1 in a wide open field with Englishmen Matt Fitzpatrick and Tyrell Hatton both priced at 18/1 to land a win in the Pacific. Sahith Theegala, who came second by one shot last weekend, is a 33/1 shot as is defending champion Si-Woo Kim.

On the DP World Tour, Rory McIlroy is a strong 13/5 punt to taste glory in the Dubai Invitational with Tommy Fleetwood at 13//2 and Nicolai Hojgaard at 9/1 the other players at single figure prices.

If you fancy an each way bet on either event, we are paying 1/5 odds on six places in Hawaii whilst we will be going 1/4 odds on four places in Dubai. With both events live on Sky Sports Golf, it promises to be a bumper weekend for golf spread betting punters.
