Brentford vs Leeds United – Match Preview

Brentford vs Leeds United
Monday 22nd April 2019
SkyBet Championship, Griffin Park

Live on Sky Sports Football HD – Kick-Off: 17:15 GMT

Brentford will host Leeds United in SkyBet Championship action this Monday evening.

The hosts have very little to play for as they sit comfortably in midtable in 15th position. Meanwhile, Leeds have it all to play for as they are still chasing an automatic promotion spot. They are current third and on the same points as Sheffield United who have better goal difference in second.

Brentford are priced at 11/4 to win by SkyBet, despite having home advantage. The Bees previous showing saw them draw with relegation battlers Millwall. The draw was made more impressive by the fact that their defender Henrik Dalsgaard got a red card in the 35thminute. Going forward they can be a threat and no one more than French striker Neal Maupay. The attacker has a whopping 23 goals this season and is 13/8 to score anytime.

Their reverse fixture with Marcelo Bielsa’s side earlier in the season saw them manage a 1-1 draw also. They are priced at 6/1 to repeat the scoreline.

Leeds United are priced at 1/1 to win the match. Bielsa’s side must redeem themselves after their embarrassing 2-1 loss to a 10-men Wigan side. Their previous outing gave them a golden chance to leapfrog Sheffield United for an automatic spot, but they failed. Striker Patrick Bamford has been impressive as of late and currently has nine goals for the season – with 3 from his last 3 matches. He is priced at 4/1 to open the scoring.

The referee for this match will be James Linington. The official is tagged for his no-nonsense style and has averaged 39.3 booking points this season. The last time these two met, there were fireworks and over 85 booking points were brandished. SkyBet are offering 2/1 for 60+ booking points.

Brentford vs Leeds United will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Football with kick off at 17:!5 BST.

Prediction: Brentford 0-2 Leeds United 

– The away side have a lot more at stake and also have the better quality players. Should be routine.

Manchester City vs Tottenham – Match Preview

Manchester City vs Tottenham
Saturday 20 April 2019
FA Premier League, Etihad Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick-Off: 12:30 GMT

It’s the match that just kept us all on the edge of our seats in midweek as Man City will once again play host to Spurs, but this time in the Premier League.

Their Champions League match in midweek has been labelled one of the greatest ever football matches with drama galore and a 4-3 score line. However, there is just as much at stake for the hosts this time around, with a win putting them top of the league with four matches left.

Manchester City are heavy favourites for this match and are priced at 3/10 to win by SkyBet. Given the knockback of being knocked out the UCL and losing their quadruple dreams, all eyes will now be set on cementing the Premier League title. Winger Raheem Sterling is many fans favourite to win player of the season award with 17 goals to his name so far in the Premier League. He is 16/5 to break the deadlock this weekend.

If you fancy another goal fest, check out SkyBet’s odds of 5/2 for Manchester City to win and over 4.5 goals in the match.

Spurs are priced at a very tempting 17/2 to win after knocking City out of the UCL in the quarter finals stage. Despite losing the match 4-3, Spurs made a great account of themselves by scoring three goals at the Etihad. In Harry Kane’s absence, attacker Son Heung-Min stepped up in spectacular style with two quick goals in the first ten minutes on Wednesday. He is 14/5 to score anytime and continue his impressive form.

The referee for this match will be Michael Oliver. There were 40 booking points in their midweek clash and SkyBet are offering 1/2 for 40+ booking points this Saturday lunchtime.

Manchester City vs Tottenham will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League HD and kicks off at 12:30.

Prediction: Manchester City 3-1 Tottenham

Napoli vs Arsenal – Match Preview

Napoli vs Arsenal
Thursday 18 April 2019
UEFA Europa League, San Paolo Stadium

Live on BT Sport 2 – Kick-Off: 20:00 GMT

Napoli will be trying to redeem themselves as Arsenal travel to Italy for the second leg of their UEFA Europa league tie.

The first leg in London got off to a flyer for Unai Emery’s side who took an early lead through Aaron Ramsey and a Kalidou Koulibaly own goal. The match continued in a simialir fashion with Arsenal having the upper hand. Napoli have to throw the kitchen sink, so expect drama.

Napoli are favourites to win this match and are priced at 4/6 to win by SkyBet. The Italian outfit have an up-hill mountain to climb after the first leg. They looked incredibly shaky at the back however at home this could very well tell and different tale. They have seven wins from their last ten matches and striker Dries Mertens has been a clinical presence in attack. The Belgian is a tempting 6/4 to score anytime in front of a home crowd.

Both sides have great attacking threat and SkyBet are offering 15/8 for Napoli to win and for both teams to score.

Arsenal are priced at 19/5 to win. The Gunners were impressive in the first leg and also earned themselves another victory a few days ago against Watford in the Premier League. The away side seem very dangerous when they start both Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang up front together, however it is the latter who seems to be the top choice. The Gabon international has four goals in this competition and is 2/1 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be Romanian Ovidiu Alin Hategan. He may have a busy night ahead of him with it all to play for. These matches can often see a lot of cards brandished and SkyBet are offering 10/11 for 50+ booking points.

Napoli vs Arsenal will be televised on BT Sport 2 and kicks off at 20:00.

Prediction: Napoli 2 – 1 Arsenal

– The hosts will have to go for it however I see Arsenal just doing enough.

  • Correct Score – Napoli to win 2-1 – (link no longer available).
  • Anytime Goalscorer – Dries Mertens – (link no longer available).
  • Anytime Goalscorer – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – (link no longer available).
