When the going gets tough, you can fight or crumble. And if you go down fighting, your fans will be proud. But never leave anything on the field.
A relegation battle in the Premier League is as big as it gets, and the teams in the bottom seven are doing all they can to survive. But the betting odds are against you when you face Manchester United or City, and that’s exactly what Brighton and Huddersfield must do this weekend.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United (May 05, 03:00 GMT+8)
Few sports betting fans outside Brighton and Hove expected Chris Hughton’s team to stay up in their first season, but they are nearly there. 37 points should be enough, but it will get nervy if the teams below them win this weekend. The Seagulls find goals hard to come by, though big striker Glenn Murray has managed an impressive 12. But I don’t expect Jose’s Red Devils to be generous, with David De Gea in sensational form, if needed.
Expect the Red Devils to be clinical, which may make a 🌟🌟 bet on Under 2.50 goals at 1.86 worth a closer look.
Manchester City vs Huddersfield Town (May 06, 20:30 GMT+8)
Even fewer neutrals gave Huddersfield a prayer, but the battling Terriers have kept their noses above water all year. Coach David Wagner has worked miracles, and he needs another one here, or against Chelsea or Arsenal in his last two games. Huddersfield fans will be nervously watching the other results.
They must try to avoid a hammering at the Etihad, but I can’t see how they can, so am backing a home win at 1.94, with a -2.75 goals handicap for a 🌟🌟 bet.
Stoke City vs Crystal Palace (May 05, 19:30 GMT+8)
This is one fixture the Terriers will be watching. If Palace can stop Stoke, then Wagner will be delighted. The Eagles have won four of the last five meetings between the two and, more tellingly, have taken eight points from four games, while the Potters have failed to win in 12. Coach Paul Lambert’s optimism is commendable but he needs points.
Stoke will fight to the death, but I think a draw, at odds of 3.05 in a 🌟 bet, will end their battle.
