It was a bit of a disappointing weekend for boobookies despite some fine winners and some finer picks that didn't make us any profit (looking at you Freiburg) but tonight we have a chance to get a little back with 2 games to look at from England and Italy. Chelsea will introduce some youngsters to their squad tonight while WBA may fancy their chances against weakened opponents and in Italy, relegated Cesena visit Napoli in another virtually meaningless fixture. Woohoo! There's one other match in Italy but with it being the early game, I haven't taken a closer look although I may do so when I return home this afternoon. Here are my previews and predictions for tonight's action. Monday 18th May
21.00 - WBA V Chelsea - Prediction -1.2 Best Bets - Chelsea to win @3/4, BTTS @10/11 Not much to play for tonight in our MNF with Champions Chelsea visiting a WBA side that sit comfortably above the relegation zone. The Baggies have a good record against Chelsea at the Hawthorns, winning 2 of the last 3 and drawing the other and I expect them to score tonight at least having done so against Chelsea in 5 of the last 6 meetings at the Hawthorns. Having now seen the team news, and Chelsea going very strong, I'm backing them to win @3/4 odds. Loftus-Cheek is the only kid and he looks a talent in an otherwise near to full strength Chelsea. I still fancy BTTS but I'm going with Chelsea for my deadly double. 2100 - Napoli v Cesena - Prediction - 3.1 Best Bets - Cesena to score @10/11 BTTS and over 2.5 goals @13/10 I'm looking for goals in Naples and I'm confident we might find some with lowly Cesena visiting Napoli in this end of season fixture. It was a hard week for Napoli following their Europa League Semi-final exit to Dnipro and they will be eager to bounce back with 3 points here with 3rd place still a vague possibility for Rafa Benitez's team. As ever, goals is the target and both sides stats look quite promising from a BTTS perspective. Napoli are quite frequently involved in BTTS games with 8 of their last 12 Serie A home fixtures finishing in that manner while Cesena have been away day specialists in this field with 12 of their last 16 away games in the league also going with BTTS, including 4 of their last 5 away. Still, having looked at the odds, you can get 10/11 on Cesena just to score and at just 1/1 on BTTS, I think it's a good little bet just to back Cesena to score. Napoli have just 2 clean sheets in their last 9 home fixtures and can't be backed to keep a clean sheet here. Cesena are also very leaky on the road, conceding 3 or more in 3 of their last 4 and you would expect this to be a comfortable home win for Napoli so the 13/8 on Napoli to win and BTTS could be the best bet of the night as I do believe Cesena can score. I don't usually bet on just one team to score, but at very similar odds to BTTS, it seems to be the way to go. (please note, backing Cesena to score is listed on bet365 as "Napoli clean sheet - no" Bo's Best Bets Bo's Deadly Double Total Staked - 2.5 Points Potential Returns - 6.5 Points WBA V Chelsea - Chelsea to win @3/4 Napoli v Cesena - Napoli to win -1 @1/2 Bo's Deadly Double Total Staked - 1.5 Points Potential Returns - 6 Points WBA V Chelsea - BTTS @1/1 Napoli v Cesena - Cesena to score @1/1 Bo's Sexy Single Total Staked 2 Points Potential Returns - 5.25 Points Napoli to beat Cesena and BTTS @13/8 Bo's Bonkers Bet Napoli to beat Cesena - 3/1 @10/1 Comments are closed.
