My betting tips all point to home triumphs this weekend.
The betting odds strongly favour two of the hosts to win anyway, yet I’m going for a hat-trick with Asian Handicap betting featuring prominently.
As we all know, football can be a cruel game – just ask Claudio Ranieri – and this weekend could prove to be a disappointing one for the visitors to Stamford Bridge, Selhurst Park and Goodison Park.
Chelsea vs Swansea City (February 25, 23:00 GMT+8)
As Paul Clement takes his fast-improving Swansea team to the club where he made his name, he is guaranteed a warm reception.
After all, the Blues recognise the work he carried out as assistant manager to Guus Hiddink and Carlo Ancelotti, periods which encompassed FA Cup and Premier League success.
He has made an encouraging start to his managerial career in Wales as well with some impressive results and displays over the past month.
I suspect leaders Chelsea, however, will have too much and will make a good start en-route to victory.
The🌟🌟 tip for me is First Half Asian Handicap -1.00 Chelsea @ 2.42.
Crystal Palace vs Middlesbrough (February 25, 23:00 GMT+8)
It’s incredible to think Sam Allardyce has only guided the Eagles to one league victory since taking over the week before Christmas.
A side with the likes of Christian Benteke, Wilfried Zaha and Yohan Cabaye (although he has been a substitute of late) should not be rooted in the Premier League drop zone.
The usual Allardyce effect, which sees clubs improve after his arrival, has simply not happened.
Yet, ahead of this relegation scrap, it simply has to.
Failure to win against sixth-from-bottom Boro is unthinkable and I do not think it will happen.
I’m putting my neck on the line with 2 x 🌟🌟🌟 bets in this one:
First Half 1X2 Crystal Palace @ 2.78 and Asian Handicap -0.50 Crystal Palace @ 2.11.
Everton vs Sunderland (February 25, 23:00 GMT+8)
This game last season was a thriller as the Toffees triumphed 6-2, shortly after Allardyce arrived on Wearside.
By the time they met in the reverse fixture, Big Sam had worked his magic, Sunderland won 3-0 and Roberto Martinez was promptly sacked.
Who would have thought since then that Martinez would be appointed Belgium boss and Allardyce head England coach – although obviously, the latter proved ignominious.
This time, it’s David Moyes in the opposite dugout at the club where he proved his managerial worth.
I really can’t see his defensively weak side getting anything, however.
My 🌟 plump for the weekend is Asian Handicap -1.25 Everton @ 1.89.
