The League Cup final takes place this weekend, yet whilst all the attention will be on Manchester United and Southampton, there is still a full fixture list across the Premier League and Europe. We’ve scanned the coupons to bring you seven top BTTS tips from the weekend’s action.
Saturday 25th February 2017
- Burnley v Hull City (8/11 with Betfred) – Hull City have climbed up the table since Marco Silva joined and we think that both defences will be troubled in their match with Burnley on Saturday. The Clarets don’t often see many of their games end with a clean sheet and we think that this one will be no different.
- West Bromwich Albion v Bournemouth (4/5 with Betfair) – Tony Pulis’ West Bromwich Albion side will fancy their chances of scoring on Saturday as they welcome Bournemouth to the Hawthorns. The Cherries concede goals for fun, but they are also capable of finding the back of the net themselves given half a chance.
- Watford v West Ham (4/5 with Betfred) – Both of these sides have been fairly inconsistent of late and we feel that this one will be a decent match as West Ham travel to Vicarage Road. The Hammers have seen quite a few of their recent games end without a clean sheet and we can see both keepers being kept busy in this one.
Sunday 26th February 2017
- Tottenham Hotspur v Stoke City (19/20 with Betfair) – With the Thursday/Sunday schedule likely to have an impact on Spurs, we’re backing Stoke to find a way through the miserly Tottenham defence. The visitors have been playing some good stuff this season, although they will have to be on top of their game if they are to keep a clean sheet in north London.
- Atletico Madrid v FC Barcelona (4/5 with Betfair) – These two sides met in the Copa del Rey recently and neither keeper was able to keep a clean sheet in either leg of their semi-final clash. We think it will be a similar story this weekend as Barcelona head back to the capital in this top of the table clash.
- Villarreal v Real Madrid (4/6 with Bet365) – Real will already know the outcome of the result at the Vicente Calderon and whilst they will be hoping for a draw in that clash, three points at El Madrigal is a must. The table toppers obviously score plenty of goals but against the other better sides in La Liga their defensive record isn’t that great.
Monday 27th February 2017
- Leicester City v Liverpool (4/5 with Betfair) – Liverpool have been pretty good value for both sides to score this season and we think that will be the case again this Monday when they travel to Leicester. The home side have been out of form lately but they should get plenty of chances to get behind Liverpool’s woeful defence.
