Bet of the Day
Ross County draw not bet v St Johnstone @ 21/20
St Johnstone do battle in Perth on Wednesday night in a game that is likely to decide which side falls into the relegation playoff place.
The Saints have been on a wretched run that has seen Craig Levein’s men lose six of their last seven matches. The Perth outfit have home advantage when County come to town, but that doesn’t offer a great deal of comfort given St Johnstone have scored only three goals in their last seven McDiarmid Park contests.
County are no world beaters, but the Staggies have been good enough to take three points from games with Kilmarnock, Hearts and Rangers this season and they are up against what is just about the worst team in the SPL.
It’s hard to see how St Johnstone rate 7/5 chances on Wednesday evening and Ross County rate a cracking draw no bet proposition.
Special of the day
Chelsea to score over 3.5 goals @ 5/1
Chelsea are still pushing for the highest possible league position, and whatever European competition that brings, and the Blues look an excellent bet at Brighton.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men have won three matches on the bounce against West Ham, Spurs and Nottingham Forest, the Londoners have scored ten goals in those three matches and they have certainly clicked in the final few weeks of the campaign.
Brighton have won only one of their last eight games and the Seagulls look to have already started their summer holidays. If Roberto de Zerbi’s men are off the pace when Chelsea come to the south coast, as they were when losing 3-0 to Arsenal, 3-0 to Bournemouth and 4-0 Man City, then another heavy defeat awaits.
Longshot of the day
Alexander Isak to score two or more goals @ 9/2
Manchester United conceded only one goal against Arsenal on Sunday, but that was a grueling contest and the Red Devils’ defence could be pulled apart by Newcastle.
Of course, the Magpies are an inferior side to Arsenal, but Eddie Howe has an abundance of speed in attack and the likes of Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes and Alexander Isak could prove tough for United to contain.
A central defence partnership of Jonny Evans and Casemiro isn’t up to scratch and Isak should get ample opportunities to run in behind that paceless backline.
