WEEKEND PICKS & ANALYSIS

Welcome to your Weekend Picks & Analysis email.

Every week I research the stats & fixtures, across the leagues. With the aim of identifying games with top-rated stats match-ups, bet opportunities and the best prices available with the bookies.

Snow takes its toll…

The weather is having an impact on everything this week – even the darts got called off in Exeter last night – and the weekend football programme is being hit hard…

So far a stack of games have been called off in the Football League and Scotland, with more likely to follow after pitch inspections.

For our weekend picks we’re sticking to the comparatively luxurious surroundings of the Premier League grounds and their fancy under-pitch technologies – two games’ stats catch the eye with the markets looking good, too.

And remember, as ever, your members-only Across the Leagues website is up-to-date with all the latest stats to help you with your own weekend selections:

  • League Stats tables, Team Stats and Head-to-Head comparisons for every game are available for you to log-in and view on your members-only website

City value to crush the Corners…

Man City v Chelsea

Premier League, Sun 4pm – Sky Sports

  • Man City -3 Corner Handicap bets have paid out in 6 of their last 7 Premier League Home games

Man City are just 8/13 (1.62) to beat Chelsea on Sunday but we can get a better price on the league leaders by following their Corners stats…

City are the No.1 team on our Premier League ‘Most Corners’ table, winning that bet in 24 of their 28 games so far (86%).

They’ve covered a -3 Corner Handicap (winning 4+ corners more than opponents) in 6 of their last 7 league games at the Etihad stadium, and in 8 of their last 10 games overall in all comps.

Man City - Home Corners

Those are mighty dominant stats and there’s not much in Chelsea’s corners form that would suggest a different outcome this weekend. The Blues have won the Most Corners in just 50% of Premier League Away games, and been out-cornered in 4 of their last 7 on the road.

Man City -3.5 Corner Handicap is a best price 9/10 (1.90) with Marathonbet, 17/20 (1.85) 888 Sport, Unibet, 5/6 (1.83) Bet365. Man City -3 Corner Handicap (the same bet with a different name) is 5/6 (1.83) BetVictor.


Saints’ stats too strong for Stoke…

Southampton v Stoke

Premier League, Sat 3pm

  • Southampton -3 Corner Handicap bets have paid out in 7 of their 11 Premier League Home games v teams outside the Top 6

Southampton also look well capable of covering a -3 Corner Handicap at Home this weekend…

The Saints have landed that bet more times than not v Non-Top 6 sides at St Mary’s this season – and Stoke look a particularly weak visitor in that department.

Stoke are 19th of 20th teams in our Premier League ‘Most Corners’ chart, and have won that bet in just 2 of 14 Away games.

A look at the corners scores in Stoke’s recent Away games paints a very clear picture: 13-1 to Leicester, 8-1 to Bournemouth, 6-1 to Man Utd, 7-0 to Chelsea.

Follow the Home team on the Corners here.

Southampton -3.5 Corner Handicap is a best price 24/25 (1.96) with Marathonbet, 4/5 (1.80) Bet365, 888 Sport, Unibet. Southampton -3 Corner Handicap (the same bet with a different name) is 10/11 (1.91) with Betfair Sportsbook, Paddy Power, 17/20 (1.85) William Hill.
