After a pretty shaky start in the Premiership, it
seems that Arsenal have found their form and have
won their last three games, beating Man Utd,
Sheffield Utd and Charlton. In their last home game
they overwhelmed Sheffield Utd 3-0. Premiership new
boys Watford are finding it a little tough after
their promotion - they are still looking for their
first win, and are rooted second from bottom. Of
course, the Gunners are huge favourites for this
game, and with best odds of 1/5 available, there is
little value to be had. It seems that the main
reason Arsenal are moving up the table is the fact
that some key players have finally come back to
form. Thierry Henry, after a slow start to his
season, has started to hit the net, scoring in his
last home game and also scoring for France
midweek.When he plays well, it seems Arsenal play
well. However, for this game we are going to look
at another Arsenal forward, Robin Van Persie. After
being left out of the side for a while, Arsene
Wenger finally unleashed the Dutch ace and he scored
twice in Arsenal's last trip against Charlton, one
of them could have been goal of the season.
This has
obviously inspired the youngster, and his goals have
not stopped there. He also scored for the
Netherlands in both of their Euro qualifiers,
against Bulgaria and Albania. Van Persie is on top
of his game, and having scored four goals in his
last three competitive games, he now faces lowly
Watford, who have conceded at least a goal in every
away match so far.
Betfred will offer all new
customers upto a £100 free bet on this match, and with
odds of 11/10 for Van Persie to score anytime, this
looks like an attractive bet. Get on the
Dutch Ace. Tottenham seem to have found some form
and have been playing some excellent football in
recent weeks, looking very dangerous and always
likely to score.
The value is with Tottenham at bigger than 4/1 imo
beware of the spurs stats. spurs now are a far
better side than they were earlier in the season,
and have a lot of key players back. also, berbatov
has found his feet in the last couple of months or
so. 10/11 may be a bit big, but I don't think it's
out of the ball park for a game with a hefty whiff
of draw about it. why do you think its
relevant to mention spurs away form in the prem or
indeed selvilla home form in la liga.... do you
think so shall have a bearing on the result ?
Spurs only scored 2 goals in first 7 games Different
factors in that game - a must win otherwise out the
CL. This is not a must win, the 2 leg situation
changes that. As I recall they were more like 1.46
to beat Bremen. 1.3 makes them a clear 2 goal
favourite, that would be ridiculous for this game
IMO. Madrid started about 1.70 then were gambled
into about 1.57 against arsenal as i recall last
year, and proceeded to lose. For me, it depends
which Spurs turns up on the day. Based on the fact
Seville rested players at the weekend, is it fair to
say they hold the UEFA in higher regard to the
league?
What's this I've been hearing about them trying to
get the game postponed due to a local festival of
some sorts? football very much takes a backseat to
the easter celebrations in seville, which is why
sevilla wanted the game moved. too much has been
made of spurs' recent form imo. ok berbatov and
keane look unplayable at times but you can't ignore
that abysmal away record and shabby defence. no way
should sevilla be above 1.8.
