Top 5 Bets for Monday's Football, NFL and Racing

Is there a Premier League game tonight?

Crystal Palace v Brighton

There’s always a bit of extra spice when Brighton visit Selhurst Park, and a Monday Night Football game should provide an electric atmosphere for two sides who have impressed so far this season. The Seagulls are in the top 6 after winning four of their first five games of the season, while Palace are in 15^th with five points from their five games. It’s generally accepted though that both sides have improved this season, and Brighton have had the rub of the green in some key moments while Palace have not. Could that be about to change tonight?

Zaha Player Goal Minutes (14-17)

Brighton have always been among Zaha’s favourite opponents – he’s not scored more times against any opponent than the seven goals he’s notched against Brighton. He looks to be enjoying his football (not always the case) under new manager Patrick Vieira and is also on penalties. Will that lead to goals tonight?

What Serie A and La Liga games are on tonight?

Venezia v Torino

Torino look to have found a bit of form after a disappointing start to the Serie A season, and will look to pile even more pressure newly-promoted Venezia. Torino started the season with back-back defeats, but followed that with back-to-back wins without conceding a goal, before holding Lazio to a draw last time out.

Torino Performance 38-42

After conceding just one goal in their last three games, picking up seven points out of nine, Torino are in the best form of these two, but can they carry that on? Punters backing them to do so may look at the Torino Performance spread, which awards 25 points for a win, 15 per goal scored, 10 each for a clean sheet and a drawn match and 3 per corner. Points are deducted for red and yellow cards, 25 and 10 respectively.

Celta Vigo v Granada

It’s a bit early in the La Liga season to call this a relegation six pointer, but fifth bottom host third bottom in tonight’s Spanish action. Fresh from their 8^th place finish last season, Celta have been a huge disappointment, managing only one point from their first five games, before finally winning their last game, 2-0 at Levante. Granada are yet to win a game, with three draws and three losses this season.

1^st Match Goal 34-37

Two of the last three games between these two sides have finished goalless, and we’ve seen a number of sellers in various goals and scoring markets. As well as sellers at 34 mins for the time of the 1^st match goal, we’ve seen selling in Total Goals (2.6-2.8), Shirt Numbers (36-39), Total Goal Minutes (134-144) and more.

Is there a Horse Racing meeting tonight?

The evening’s eight-race meeting at Newcastle starts at 4.55pm.

Heads You Win 28-31

This market is based on the winning distances between the first and second horse in each race. A dead heat scores 50, a nose 30, short head 20, head 10 and a neck 5. There are no really short favourites in what looks an open betting meeting, but will that transform into a number of close-run races?

What’s tonight’s NFL Monday Night Football match?

The Dallas Cowboys face the Philadelphia Eagles in tonight’s American football clash. A sell-out crowd of 80,000 at AT&T Stadium will be looking forward to welcoming back star quarterback Dak Prescot, making his first appearance in Dallas since fracturing and dislocating his ankle last October.

Dak Prescott QB Performance 105-115

Prescott is one of the biggest stars in the NFL, and his return in front of a huge Dallas crowd is much anticipated. Punters buying his performance are expecting the old Prescott to be on show and firing on all cylinders, but is he back to his best after such a serious injury? In this market, the Dallas QB is awarded 10 points per passing or rushing touchdown, 3 per completion and 1 per yard rushed, with 5 points taken off per turnover.
