Trading Talk Premier League Preview by Sportingindex
Spread bettors will have been surprised by last weekend's bizarre results, seeing as only one home side managed to claim three points - even with the likes of Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool on home turf. Spread punters looking to support any of the home sides this weekend will have to take extra care before departing with their money. Sporting Index offer plenty of spread markets with the potential to provide Christmas cheer, on games including Fulham v Manchester United, West Ham v Chelsea and Portsmouth v Liverpool.
Those in favour of Manchester United on the spreads will have been shocked after last weekend's loss to Aston Villa that condemned the champions to their first home league defeat this season. Spread buyers of United's win index in their match against Fulham will be aware that the Reds struggled at Craven Cottage last season with the outcome a 2-0 defeat that threatened to derail United's title charge. Punters looking to sell United's win index this weekend will also point out that United have already lost three on the road this season to Burnley, Chelsea and Liverpool although spread buyers of United's supremacy will highlight the team's five wins away from Old Trafford. Of further encouragement to supremacy spread buyers, United do hold a favourable record over the West London club, having lost just once from ten meetings in all competitions since 2000.
On the other side of the Capital, West Ham host rivals Chelsea after the Blues' disappointing draw at home to Everton. Buyers of the Hammers' win index will be wary that they have not beaten Chelsea since 2003, when West Ham did the double over their opponents. Since then the sides have met nine times with Chelsea only failing to win once. Spread betters that enjoy a bet on the total goals market will note that the last four league meetings between the sides here have yielded a total of 12 goals. Buyers of the Chelsea / West Ham supremacy spread will also be delighted that only two of those goals went the way of West Ham's way. Buyers of the bookings index spread may be surprised by the last two meetings making-up just 50pts in total, but the same spread buyers may highlight both the match in 2007 when seven players picked up a booking and the Frank Lampard sending off in 2008 - although spread sellers will counter that the game only made-up 55 points on the spread.
Liverpool's season continued to unravel at home to Arsenal last weekend and next up is a trip to Fratton Park to face an improving Portsmouth. Buyers of the away side's supremacy spread will be all too aware that Liverpool have only won three times in fifteen matches in all competitions. Spread buyers can take heart in the Reds' decent record away to Portsmouth, having only lost once at Fratton Park in their last six meetings in all competitions. Spread bettors considering a buy of total goal minutes will remember last season's corresponding fixture in which 384 goal minutes were tallied, while sellers will draw attention to the previous result, a goalless draw.
