Correct Score Treble

United, Arsenal and Liverpool All to Win to Nil 

So we tried this twice before Christmas and just missed out, and this weekend throws up favourable fixtures again (annoyingly United, Chelsea and Arsenal did it in the cup last week and i forgot about the bet)

The column has twice had correct score doubles come in this season at 42-1 and 77-1, and though it is a good bet, when selecting 3 outcomes per match ( a sensible spread) it makes the permutations 9 fold. With the odds usually between 40-1 and 80-1 for a double, the bet may only give true odds of 4-1 to 8-1 for your stake. Though getting two results right is always easier than three……..

However i like being bold and looking for a bigger payout and by adding a third team we get just that. The perms goes up to 27 trebles, but the odds increase to between 300-1 and 700-1 on average, therefore we have true odds of between 11-1 and 26-1 for your stake.

So.. the bet…

With United at home versus Newcastle i will select 2, 3 and 4 nil. Newcastle have lost Faye and Beye from their defence to the African Nations thus a shuffle at the back will be required. Despite United’s propensity to win 1-0 this season, including last time out against Birmingham, they are the perfect side to take advantage on The Toon’s situation.

Arsenal entertain Birmingham, who arrive on the back of a ‘cupset’ at Huddersfield, previously they had gone to Old Trafford and only lost 1-0. Arsenal will be missing Toure and Eboue but Senderos is fit to partner Gallas, while Eduardo should start upfront again with Adeybayor. The Gunners have only once scored more than three at home in the league this season (v Derby), therefore i have gone for 1,2 or 3-0.

Liverpool travel to The Riverside with mounting pressure to perform after a terrible run of results this past month and going to ‘Boro where they haven’t scored in their last 5 visits, won’t be easy. Agger returns to the side, as does Gerrard and Torres after a rest from the cup last week, the latter two will again be key and i believe there freshness will be enough for Liverpool to grab the win. 1, 2, or 3-0 is the choice.

McLean to Punish Poor Macc

Aaron McLean returned to goalscoring form last week for Peterborough after 3 games without a goal, the striker with 20 goals this season faces a struggling Macclesfield side. The match pair the highest scoring home team in the league with 28 goals against the side who have conceded the most away  goals with 22.

McLean first goal is 4-1 and 11-8 to score anytime @ Bet 365

Away Treble in The Nationwide

Watford away at bottom of the table Preston. Watford’s form on the road this season is 9-2-2 and while Preston’s form has improved of late, The Hornets should just have too much for them.

West Brom away at Hull. The Sky Cameras are at the KC Stadium on Saturday in what should be an entertaining game. Hull are no mugs at home and The Baggies away form is up and down, but i feel the away team will just edge out Hull in what could be a high scoring game.

Leeds away at Crewe (Monday Night). Leeds came out of their Christmas slump with a comprehensive 3-0 win over Northampton and i take them to follow it up with a win at struggling Crewe.

Treble pays 9-1 @ Bet 365
