Re: Premier League: 13/16 Mar
Ehhm, bit of a mixed bag this weekend with the bookies in a seemingly miserly mood as nothing amongst that lot particularly grabs me offering any sort of value.
I suppose Spurs look a half decent bet and should dispose of Blackburn with ease but odds on against a Cannie Allardyce side I don't know, Blackburn aren't playing that badly of late and are the type of side Tottenham are known to slip up against.
I'll probably go with Spurs due to Blackburns poor away form but it has the potential to be a bit of a banana skin so tread carefully.
I'm very tempted to go with Everton as they look a class act at the moment but I'm not very happy with their away form, one win on the road since early November does not inspire me with confidence , especially against a team like Birmigham who have relied on solid home performances to stay in the Prem this season, form wise you have to give Everton the nod and you could feel now Birmingham are safe and sound in the Prem they could take their foot off the gas but as they shown away to Pompey midweek, Mcleash won't allow that and while they are 2 points above Everton they will think they have every right to fight for a European spot too.
Its a game i wouldn't mind watching tell the truth as it could become a bit feisty as Everton will feel they have more of a right to win this to also keep in with a shout of a Euro spot, I'll go for the draw as Brum have more than held their ground against most of the big boys at St Andrews this season.
Draw.
Bolton v Wigan and Burnley v Wolves, both proverbial six pointers where if you play your cards right value could be had but best to get some incling of team news b4 backing anybody, Kevin Davies for example is a huge part of Boltons set up and i'm sure he's up before the FA soon for slagging the ref off, if its tomorrow and he gets a ban then he will be a huge miss for Bolton, as it stands and Davies plays then I'll go for a Bolton win as it would give them a bit of breathing space as Wigan are their nearest rivals in the relegation zone, wigan's tails may be up after a cracking win against Liverpool on Monday but Saturday i feel will bring them back down to earth as fancy football will be thrown out of the window against Bolton who will try and bully them.
If Davies plays i'll go for a Bolton win , if not then i wouldn't be suprised to see the draw.
Burnley and Wolves are neck and neck too in the league, both hovering above the relegation zone with only goal difference keeping them apart, this will be like a cup final for both these sides with home advantage to Burnley once more proving vital for them to stand any chance of winning this , they may be one trick ponies only bothering to show up for home games at Turf Moor but for large parts of this season its worked in their favour.
They will also be praying top goal scorer Steven Fletcher will be fit for this one who's been out since he broke his hand whilst training with Scotland the other week, one goal could seal this match, Nugents filled in nicely in his absense hitting two in two but Laws will be hoping no doubt to have the pick of both of them in such an important match.
I'm going to go for a Burnley win as they are used to thriving on matches like this at Turf Moor and usually come up with the goods.
Burnley Win.
