Cardiff look to move away from relegation zone with win against Watford

There are no prizes for guessing the biggest game of this Premier League weekend, as Manchester United welcome great rivals Liverpool to Old Trafford this coming Sunday afternoon (24 February). Prior to that game, Cardiff host Watford on Friday night while Tottenham could move closer to the top of the table with a win away to Burnley on Saturday afternoon.

Where should I be investing my money?

First up, the clash between Cardiff and Watford on Friday night. The Welsh club have won their last two games in a row and now sit outside the relegation zone, albeit just by a single point – they are still priced at just 1.80 to go straight back down to the EFL Championship.

Watford, by way of comparison, sit eighth in the table and are unbeaten in their last three matches across all competitions. A win here could move them above Wolves – temporarily, at least.

And while the betting is close it is Watford who come in as the slight favourites to win this contest. You can more than double your money by backing the visitors to take all three points while Cardiff, despite home advantage, are out at 3.00 to make it three league victories on the bounce – a draw would appear to be the least likely outcome and is priced accordingly at 3.20, according to Oddsshark.

And we think that home advantage could well be a key factor here. A narrow, 2-1 win for Cardiff is priced competitively at 12.00, thereby offering more than a ten-fold return on any investment, while you can double your money by backing over 2.5 goals in the game at 2.00.

Spurs can cut lead at top with win at Burnley

The following day, Burnley host Tottenham looking to continue their climb away from the relegation zone. The Clarets are unbeaten in their last three league outings but still sit just three points above the relegation zone – they are at 4.33 to fall through the trap door.

Tottenham, meanwhile, come into this match in flying form. They have won their last five matches in a row across all competitions, and can move to within two points of Manchester City at the top of the table with a win here – Spurs, however, are still out at 26.00 to win their first ever Premier League title.

But in this match, the Londoners are the clear favourites to take the points. You can back Spurs to continue their winning streak at just 1.66, while Burnley are out at 5.00 to collect three much-needed points – a draw is priced in the middle at 3.75.

This should be a comfortable afternoon for the away side. A 2-0 win for Spurs comes in at 8.50, meaning that a US$5 bet would lead to a US$42.50 payout, while you can double your money by backing under 2.5 goals in the game at 2.00.

United host Liverpool in fierce derby

And finally, Manchester United welcome Liverpool to Old Trafford in what should be the match of the weekend. The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last nine league matches and have climbed to fourth in the standings – they are now priced at just 2.00 to stay there until the end of the season.

Liverpool, by way of comparison, are unbeaten in their last five league contests and are level on points with Manchester City at the top of the table. The side is priced at 2.20 to win their first ever Premier League crown.

Again, the betting is close, but it is Liverpool who come in as the slight favourites to claim local bragging rights. You can more than double your money by backing the visitors to win at 2.25, with United out at 3.00 to do the same – a draw comes in highest of all and is priced at 3.50.

And we believe that Liverpool have enough to get the job done on the road. A narrow, 2-1 win for the away side comes in at 10.00, while you can quadruple your money by backing a combo bet of a Liverpool win, coupled with both teams to score, at 4.00.
