Monday 23rd September 2024

In Across the Leagues today:

• Europa League KO in sight…
• Win & Both Teams to Score leaders…
• Next bets on Wednesday…

Barcelona are at it again…

Good afternoon. No joy from our first Win & Both Teams to Score picks of the season in the English Football League. But we’ll have plenty of chances to go again there at big odds, very soon…

In the Premier League, Justin Kluivert (yes, son of Patrick) is now top of the official Premier League 2024/25 chart for Most Fouls. He was booked for Bournemouth at Liverpool on Saturday. As was our pick, Lewis Cook, who slips to 2nd in that Most Fouls table. Cook was the biggest price of our three weekend Player to be Carded selections, at best odds of 9/2 (5.5) and 4/1 (5.0).

Well done to Across the Leagues member Richard R, who only backed Cook for a card…

“I see Lewis Cook was booked in the 87th minute (!) winning me £100 @ 4/1. Good job, thanks. I declined Sam Morsy @ 7/4 as too short, and I'll swerve Kai Havertz @ 11/4 today for the same reason. Anyway, I've had a win and want to hang on to it!

Had Lewis Cook not been booked, I'd have tried him again next time out…”

Back to the Win & Both Teams to Score stats, and the Top Performing Teams page on our website shows that Barcelona in Spain and Galatasaray in Turkiye are top of the ‘Win & BTTS’ standings right now. Each posting a noteworthy 5 out of 6 payouts in this market so far in 2024/25…

Barca won 5-1 away yesterday. Galatasaray won 3-1 away on Saturday…

We’re on Barcelona as one of our Champions League picks this season…

The UEFA cup competitions continue this week, with the start of the Europa League on Wednesday & Thursday. And then the Conference League next week…

• Lookout for your next picks and advice from me this Wednesday, when we’ll be on the hunt for some attractive odds in Europe

That’s all from me for today. See you Wednesday.
