Wayne Rooney faces Man United, Toronto chase their first Super League victory, and Nathan Aspinall takes on Snakebite in the Premier League Darts – it’s the Spread Bets of the Day!

1. Derby v Man United – Wayne Rooney SMM, 12-16
Facing his old club for the first time since January 2018 – back when he was still a Toffee – Wayne Rooney will be hoping to help Derby County become the only non-Premier League side to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals with a win over Man United, at 7.45pm on BT Sport 1.

Rooney’s presence at the club has just about coincided with an uptick in form for the Rams – in 2020 they’ve managed 3 losses, 4 draws and 7 wins across the Championship and FA Cup, just one victory shy of the wins seen in the 1st half of the season.

As for the club captain himself, he has 4 goals in 14 appearances, with half of those coming from the spot. Will he be able to get one over United on Thursday? Spreadex are offering a Rooney SMM spread of 12-16.

2. Leeds Rhinos v Toronto Wolfpack – Total Points, 42-45
The Wolfpack are having a pretty miserable time of it in their inaugural Super League season. They’ve suffered 5 losses in 5 games, conceding 148 points during that period – that’s almost 30 points per game.

Meanwhile since losing 30-4 to Hull FC in on the first Sunday of the season, the Rhinos have gone on a 3-game winning streak, including a 22-8 victory over last season’s finalists Salford Red Devils and a 36-0 hammering of the Warrington Wolves.

Across their 4 fixtures – their round 2 trip to Huddersfield was delayed due to Storm Ciara – Leeds have an average 28.5 points per game. It might, then, be worth watching a Total Points spread of 42-45.

3. Nathan Aspinall v Peter Wright – Wright/Aspinall 10-3, 2-5
2019 UK Open champion – the 2020 tournament starts on Friday – Nathan Aspinall has already claimed a major scalp in this year’s Premier League Darts, beating Michael van Gerwen 7-5 in Cardiff.

Now the 28-year old takes on 2020 Masters and World Championship winner Peter Wright in Exeter. Interestingly Snakebite isn’t having the best competition, with 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses.

If you think he’ll slip up again on Thursday, then sell a Wright/Aspinall 10-3 Supremacy spread of 2-5, where the winner gets 3 points plus a further 3 points per leg won by.
