Home wins are fantastic; of course, they are. But there’s something special about going on the road and plundering points in a far off town or city.
It makes the long journey home more fun, for sure. Betting odds invariably favour the hosts: they are backed by a passionate crowd, have intricate knowledge of the pitch as well as the better dressing room! But for this week’s Asian Handicap betting picks, I’m taking a look at three matches where home comforts will be sparse.
Southampton vs Arsenal (December 10, 20:00 GMT+8)
The Gunners haven’t been great on the road, but they did manage to eke out a win at Burnley on their last trip out. Arsene Wenger needs his team to find consistency, and a win on the South Coast is a must after their loss to Manchester United. The Saints have won only one in six, and that was a 4-1 hammering of pre-Allardyce Everton.
So for my first 🌟🌟 bet, I’m backing Arsenal to win at 1.96.
Newcastle United vs Leicester City (December 10, 01:30 GMT+8)
Rafa Benitez always sets his teams up well; he’s a world-class manager. But when you don’t have the players, there’s not a lot you can do. Newcastle will try to take the game to Leicester, and that brings its own peril. The Foxes are on their habitual bounce in form after they’ve ditched a manager, and have their tails up.
There have been 29 goals in the last ten games involving these two teams, so a 🌟🌟 bet on Over 2.5 goals at 2.03 could be good value.
Huddersfield Town vs Brighton & Hove Albion (December 9, 23:00 GMT+8)
After making great starts to life at the top table, Huddersfield and Brighton now face a long and brutal winter. It looks like the Seagulls are better equipped to survive at the moment. The Terriers are on a worrying run of four consecutive heavy defeats, whereas Chris Hughton’s Brighton had two defeats in seven (against Manchester United and Liverpool).
I’m going Brighton Draw No Bet at 2.11 for another 🌟🌟 punt.
