talkSPORT betting tips – Best football bets and expert advice for Saturday 19 April
With most of the Football League playing on Friday and Monday across the Easter weekend, the focus is on the elite competitions across Europe on Saturday. There are plenty of games scheduled in the Premier League, Ligue 1, Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga and we have picked out three bets for you to consider for those Saturday coupons. GET £30 IN FREE BETS WITH TALKSPORT BET Bet of the Day – Bournemouth to beat Crystal Palace @ 13/8 Crystal Palace are there for the taking this weekend when they host Bournemouth at Selhurst Park. The Eagles have lost their way of late and conceded 10 goals in two games against Manchester City and Newcastle United, so their confidence should be low. Oliver Glasner’s team were always expected to struggle against the Citizens, but they were embarrassed against the Magpies in midweek. Bournemouth lost three games in a row in all competitions to lose ground on their rivals, but they have avoided defeat in their last two matches. Last weekend’s 1-0 win over Fulham will have restored some confidence and Andoni Iraola’s side have a tremendous away record in recent weeks. The Cherries have lost only one of their last 11 away games and they look good value to pick up three points on the road on Saturday. Special of the Day – Jarrod Bowen to score first against Southampton @ 4/1 Both West Ham and Southampton will be desperate to end their winless runs when the two teams meet at the London Stadium on Saturday. The Hammers are winless in five games, while the Saints last won in February and are already relegated. The Saints have conceded 77 goals this season in the Premier League and Hammers forward Jarrod Bowen will hope to expose them. Bowen has only scored eight times this season, but he did find the back of the net in West Ham’s last home match, where they drew 2-2 with Bournemouth. The England international is West Ham’s leading forward and he has the ability to expose Southampton’s porous defence. Longshot of the Day – Marseille to beat Montpellier 2-0 @ 11/2 Marseille will look to get back on track this weekend when they play host to Montpellier. Roberto De Zerbi’s men are third in the table and have enjoyed a solid campaign, but they have dropped their standards in recent weeks. Les Phoceens have lost five of their last seven games in Ligue 1, conceding three goals in four of those contests. They were 3-2 winners in their last home game, though, against Toulouse, and they face a Montpellier side who have lost 10 games on the bounce. Montpellier have not scored in nine of their last 10 outings and they will struggle to stop their hosts. Marseille won 5-0 in the first meeting between the pair in October and they have scored two goals or more in four of their last five at home. Even though De Zerbi’s men should win, their recent form suggests they may not rack up the goals against Montpellier, so 2-0 looks like a smart play this weekend.
