FOOTBALL – PREMIER LEAGUE AND EFL

There are plenty of online betting punters who take the weekend off when it is the international break and the return of the Premier League and EFL this weekend will be marked with a big red circle.

With no more breaks before March, it is a good time to take stock and it is Liverpool who are now the 21/20 favourites in our Premier League outright odds. Four defeats in all competitions has seen Manchester City slip to 2/1, whilst Arsenal are 4/1 with Chelsea the next nearest at 22/1.

The featured game on Sunday sees Ruben Amorim take charge of Manchester United for the first time and his outfit are 0.85-1.05 favourites on our Supremacy spread.

In the Championship, Leeds United are 4/6 favourites to take the title, with Sheffield United at 19/4 and north east rivals Sunderland and Middlesbrough at 7/1 and 8/1 respectively. Principal partners Sunderland are 21/10 to beat Millwall this weekend in the capital whilst Friday’s televised match sees partners Watford 23/20 to win on the road at Plymouth.

DARTS – PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS

Fresh after success in Wolverhampton at the Grand Slam of Darts, Luke Littler is the 3/1 favourite to triumph at the Players Championship Finals.

The top 64 players from the Players Championship Order of Merit will go head-to-head at Butlin’s Minehead Resort and there are some cracking first round ties to look forward to. Defending champion Luke Humphries is the outright second favourite at 9/2 and he opens his defence against German number two Gabriel Clemens, a match he is 1/4 to win.

Rob Cross has got the better of Littler in a ranking tournament already this year, but Voltage is the 9/4 outsider when the pair meet on Friday evening, with top seed Chris Dobey 4/6 in his first round clash with Nathan Aspinall.

We have outright 60-40-20-10-5 index betting available, as well as darts spread betting specials for the entire tournament, each session and on a match-by-match basis, with plenty of popular markets including Total 180s, Total Missed Doubles and Highest Checkout available to buy or sell.

RUGBY UNION – AUTUMN INTERNATIONALS

The final, full round, of Autumn Internationals gets underway on Friday night and it could be a weekend of blowout scores, with five of the six matches featuring a favourite at 1/4 or shorter.

England are 1/1000 to beat Japan at Twickenham, New Zealand are 1/100 to bounce back from defeat against France with a win over Italy, South Africa are 1/25 to beat Wales in Cardiff whilst Ireland are 1/16 as they host Fiji.

With so many short prices, there will be plenty of punters eyeing up our rugby union spread betting Supremacy markets which have England 34-37 favourites. The last meeting between the two sides saw England run out 39-point winners which based on this weekend’s spread would have netted punters a win of 2x their stake.

With a record 11 defeats in a row on their back, things aren’t likely to get much better for Wales, with South Africa made 21-24 favourites in Cardiff whilst the tightest match of the round sees Scotland made narrow 3-6 Supremacy favourites to beat Australia.

We have plenty of fixed odds and rugby union spread betting markets for the whole series and each match.
