ENo time for a big write-up as I am doing the research for the weekend but I've got 2 selections for tonight's game with a NAP and Deadly Double to sink your teeth into. We have a big game from Manchester with Monaco in town for a last 16 tie in the Champions League and I make a return to the Championship with an important clash taking place between Huddersfield and Reading #BOlieve 19:45 - Man City vs Monaco
Prediction – 2.2 Best Bets – BTTS @ 4/6, Monaco not to lose @13/10 Key Facts
Final Result Monaco not to lose @13/10 = Implied Probability of 43% BTTS @4/6 = Implied probability of 60% Final Verdict City welcome Monaco to Manchester in a tasty looking contest with plenty of first-leg pressure falling on the hosts who will be eager to take a lead to Monte Carlo for the return fixture against an opponent that is the midst of a tremendous season. Sitting proudly at the top of ligue 1, ahead of big spending rivals, PSG, Monaco are not to be under-estimated and I really fancy them to get at least a draw here in what should be an open and high tempo match against a Man City side that have struggled to find their best form at home, with clean-sheets also something of a rarity. Indeed, City don’t have the best of home records in this competition, winning only 38% of their last 13 home CL fixtures, and just 41% overall since their debut in the competition 5 years ago. When you factor in the strength of their opponent, a team that were able to take a point in Paris 3 weeks ago against a side that would go on to dismantle Barcelona later that month, then the visitors have to have every chance of both scoring and avoiding defeat here. BTTS looks more likely than the 60% probability that the 4/6 price suggests and I am taking that selection as part of tonight’s deadly double with Monaco not to lose my NAP single for Tuesday. 19:45 Huddersfield v Reading Prediction – 1.1 Best Bets – BTTS @3/4 Key Facts
Final Result – BTTS @5/6 = Implied Probability of 54% Final Verdict The stats suggest that the 5/6 on offer for BTTS represents good value here with both of these sides in form and playing with a lot of confidence and doing well in the goals markets lately. With both gunning for promotion, I expect a big game with both sides desperate for a 3 points that could prove crucial in deciding the final promotion places. I’m not picking a winner, even if you would have to give favour to the hosts, so I’ll stick with just 1 pick here, my old favourite, BTTS. Bo’s NAP 2.5 Points staked Monaco not to lose @13/10 Bo’s Deadly Double 1.5 Points Staked Man City v Monaco – BTTS @4/6 Huddersfield v Reading – BTTS @5/6 Comments are closed.
