talkSPORT betting tips – Best football bets and expert advice for Saturday 3 May
The final round of fixtures takes place across the EFL on Saturday and there is plenty left at stake across the three divisions. There are also four games in the Premier League and a host of fixtures from across Europe to consider. We’ve looked over the fixtures and picked out three bets ahead of the action GET £30 IN FREE BETS WITH TALKSPORT BET Bet of the Day – Luton to beat West Brom @ 13/10 For a large portion of the season it looked as if Luton were going to suffer the ignominy of back-to-back relegations but they head to West Brom on Saturday on the cusp of pulling off a great escape. The Hatters are a point above the drop zone but their -22 goal difference means only a win at West Brom would guarantee their safety and they should be able to get the three points they need. Albion’s home form has been excellent for much of the season and they’ve lost only four of their Championship games at the Hawthorns. However, three of those defeats have come in their last six games at the ground. Luton have won their last three matches, all against teams either fighting for promotion or battling the drop, and they have taken 10 points from the last available 12 on the road, with all of those games at the homes of their relegation rivals. Matt Bloomfield’s side complete their season against a West Brom side who have nothing but pride left to play for and will no doubt be deflated after their failure to secure a play-off spot. The Baggies have managed just one win in their last nine games, with five defeats in their last seven, and they look set to end the season with another defeat. Special of the Day – Arsenal Over 0.5 Cards, Leandro Trossard to Score Anytime and Arsenal 12+ Shots @ 24/5 (Boosted from 21/5) Arsenal have a Champions League semi-final second leg to come at PSG next week but they still need to lock in a top-five finish and could do with a victory against Bournemouth in the late Premier League game. The Gunners average 2.26 cards per game this season and they’ve had at least one player booked in each of their last nine home league games. Leandro Trossard is a contender to get on the scoresheet as he has four goals in his last four Premier League appearances. Finally, Arsenal average 14.24 shots per game in the league this season, so this boosted treble has strong appeal for our Special of the Day. Longshot of the Day – Saint-Etienne to win vs Monaco @ 5/1 Saint-Etienne are second from bottom in Ligue 1 but the survival fight in France is intense with just five points separating them from Nantes in 14th with three games left to play. Monaco are chasing a place in next season’s Champions League but their form has dipped. The visitors have managed just one win in their last four games and they’ve been particularly poor on the road, winning just one of their last 11 trips in all competitions (D5, L5). Les Verts stunned bitter rivals Lyon in their last game at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard and at 5/1 they look worth backing to pull off another upset against Monaco on Saturday.
