Sports Tips and Predictions
Newcastle vs Man City: Citizens to get back on track
The Premier League title may be all but wrapped up but Pep Guardiola will want Manchester City to stay focused in the run-up to the Champions League final. Newcastle have caught everyone by surprise a few times of late but their overall record against big clubs does not make great reading.
Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua: Gypsy King to rule over AJ
Tyson Fury gets a confident vote to beat Anthony Joshua in their much-anticipated heavyweight world title unification clash. One punch can change everything at this level but Fury is rated the better boxer, has the stronger chin and also possesses a bigger heart in our book.
European football tips: Five solid selections for Sunday
We’ve got five Sunday selections from France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain for our latest European football tips and are chasing a near-23/2 acca. Don’t forget to check out bwin’s Enhanced Accas page for daily price boosts on multiple bets featuring teams from all over the world.
Monaco Grand Prix: Red Bull ready to bounce back
Max Verstappen was described as a ‘sitting duck’ when passed late on by Lewis Hamilton in Barcelona but is fancied to hit back in our Monaco Grand Prix predictions. The set-up in Spain always promised to suit Mercedes but Red Bull may find conditions more to their liking in the principality.
Bournemouth vs Brentford: Cherries and Bees hard to split
Bournemouth’s bid to bounce straight back from last season’s relegation sees them host Brentford in the first leg of the Championship play-off semi-final. Punters will be expecting a cagey affair with neither team wanting to be out of the tie come Saturday’s second leg.
Serie A predictions: Saturday treble from Italy’s top division
We’re continuing our regular Serie A predictions with a 41/3 Saturday treble from the penultimate round of fixtures in Italy’s top division. Don’t forget to check out bwin’s Enhanced Accas page for daily price boosts on multiple bets featuring teams from all over Europe and beyond.
Bundesliga predictions: Saturday treble from Germany’s top tier
We’re continuing our Bundesliga predictions with an 8/1-plus Saturday treble from the penultimate round of fixtures in Germany’s top division. Matches in this competition invariably produce lots of thrilling goalmouth action and more of the same is expected during the current campaign.
Barnsley vs Swansea: Tykes to thrive on Oakwell support
When Barnsley were last promoted to the Premier League in 1997, they used the mantra ‘it’s just like watching Brazil’. Their high-intensity style 24 years later is not drawing similar comparisons, but the Tykes’ class of 21 are just three games away from emulating those club legends.
Football accumulator tips: Four strong fancies for Saturday
We’ve got four selections from Saturday’s FA Cup and Scottish Premiership action for our latest football accumulator tips and are eyeing a 17/1 pay-out. Don’t forget to check out bwin’s Enhanced Accas page for daily price boosts on multiple bets featuring teams from all over the world.
Man Utd vs Liverpool: Real Red Devils ready to shine
Manchester United rested their first string for Tuesday’s loss to Leicester and need to beat Liverpool to justify that decision. The Red Devils have already wrapped up a top-four finish but have the incentive of trying to keep their arch-rivals out of the Champions League.
Aston Villa vs Everton: Toffees better on their travels
The phrase ‘home advantage’ can be thrown out of the window when Everton visit Aston Villa in the Premier League. Only champions-elect Manchester City have won more times away than the Toffees this term while just two teams have lost more home games than Villa.
Villarreal vs Man Utd: Red Devils to sink Yellow Submarine
Man Utd have the star quality to overcome Villarreal’s spirited resilience in this season’s Europa League final in Gdansk. The Red Devils lifted this trophy in 2017 and had enough chances to see off Sevilla when missing out in the semis last term, so we know they have the class at this level.
FA Cup final betting tips: Chelsea vs Leicester predictions
Chelsea and Leicester will battle it out at Wembley on Saturday and we’ve asked our editors for their expert FA Cup final betting tips. Bwin is offering odds on a vast range of markets ahead of this weekend’s clash and here’s three predictions on how to cash in on the prices available.
Man City vs Chelsea: Champions League glory for Pep
Man City have lost their last two encounters with Chelsea but can have the last laugh by prevailing in the Champions League final. Pep Guardiola fielded several fringe players in both of those contests and we feel his strongest team can take care of Thomas Tuchel’s first-choice line-up.
Southampton vs Fulham: Saints to show true worth again
Southampton showed they are a better team than their Premier League placing suggests when beating Crystal Palace and can now take care of Fulham, too. The Cottagers never lack effort but the lack of a cutting edge up front has led to them dropping straight back down to the Championship.
Chelsea vs Arsenal: Blues to wear down Gunners
Chelsea keep on going from strength to strength under Thomas Tuchel and get the nod to see off Arsenal in Wednesday’s Premier League showdown. The Blues are firmly on course for a top-four finish and have powered through to FA Cup and Champions League finals.
Tottenham vs Wolves: Spurs to make flying start
Tottenham need to finish the season strongly to qualify for Europe and can start by seeing off Wolves in London on Sunday. Wanderers have little to play for but pride and have produced some mixed performances of late, so Spurs have to be rated a percentage pick to come out on top.
Brighton vs West Ham: Hosts vulnerable due to bans
West Ham can’t afford any more slip-ups if they are to qualify for Europe but the good news is they are visiting Brighton at just the right time. Albion will be without key defender Lewis Dunk through suspension while top striker Neal Maupay is also banned after both saw red last weekend.
Burnley vs Leeds: Whites to claim Turf Moor triumph
Burnley may feel it is a case of job done after ensuring their Premier League safety by winning at Fulham and that could let in Leeds. United are coming off a cracking win over Tottenham and have tended to enjoy lots of success against teams towards the bottom end of the table.
Chelsea vs Leicester: Tight tussle on cards in FA Cup final
Chelsea and Leicester both like to play on the counter attack so could well end up cancelling each other out in this year’s FA Cup final. Each side prevailed 1-0 in fairly cagey semi-finals at Wembley last month, with the Blues edging out Manchester City and the Foxes shading Southampton.
Man Utd vs Leicester: Stalemate may suit both sides
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer faces a selection dilemma ahead of Man Utd’s Premier League clash with Leicester and that makes this a conundrum for punters. The Red Devils are assured of a top-four finish and Solskjaer may prefer to keep his big guns fresh for facing Liverpool on Thursday.
Southampton vs Crystal Palace: Stick with Saints
Southampton have had a tough run of games recently but now begin a trio of home matches which can help them end the season on a high note. Saints follow up this visit of Crystal Palace by hosting Fulham and Leeds and Ralph Hasenhuttl will be hoping to take full advantage.
World Championships you never knew existed
This summer will witness two of the biggest events in global sport: the Summer Olympics and football’s European Championship. However, we wanted to shine a light on some of the less well-known tournaments that many sports fans may not even have heard of.
Premier League top scorer odds: Bruno cuts gap on Kane
Bruno Fernandes has been trimmed to 28/1 in bwin’s Premier League top scorer odds after netting in Man Utd’s 3-1 win at Aston Villa. The playmaker struck from the penalty spot to move four behind 4/5 favourite Harry Kane and three adrift of even-money chance Mohamed Salah.
Premier League top 4 odds: Liverpool hunting Foxes
Liverpool have been cut to Evens in bwin’s Premier League top 4 odds after they beat Southampton 2-0 and received a boost from other results. Leicester, West Ham and Tottenham all lost over the weekend to give the Reds renewed hope of qualifying for the Champions League next season.
Fulham vs Burnley: Clarets to ensure survival in style
Fulham are drinking in the last-chance saloon with regards Premier League survival and Burnley are backed to call time on their bid to stay up. The Clarets, who are just above the drop zone, have already won 3-0 at Craven Cottage in the FA Cup and have a decent away record in top-flight fixtures.
Champions League winner: City favs but Chelsea confident
Man City are 9/5 favourites in bwin’s Champions League winner predictions, with Chelsea quoted as 33/20 underdogs to prevail in Istanbul on May 29. The Citizens are 20/23 to oblige in normal time at Ataturk Stadium, with their opponents 3/1 to achieve that feat and it is 5/2 for extra-time to be needed.
La Liga predictions: Saturday treble from Spain’s top flight
We’re continuing our regular La Liga predictions with a near-6/1 Saturday treble from the latest round of fixtures in Spain’s top tier. Widely regarded as one of the most entertaining competitions in Europe, this division should provide plenty of thrills and spills again this term.
Juventus vs AC Milan: Hosts to continue Turin hoodoo
Juventus aren’t used to settling for second best after nine straight Serie A title triumphs but that may still be enough of an incentive to see off AC Milan. Inter Milan are already assured of top spot but these teams are in a fight to finish as runners-up, along with Atalanta, Napoli and Lazio.
Feyenoord vs Ajax: Visitors to stay focused for Klassieker
Ajax have already wrapped up another Eredivisie title but we’re not expecting them to ease off when visiting Feyenoord for De Klassieker. The hosts are only fifth in the table, 24 points adrift, and struggling for form but this will always be classed as the biggest rivalry in the Netherlands.
