Big Online Football Betting Clash at Anfield
There’s a huge match for online football betting fans on Saturday, when Liverpool will be looking to keep up the pressure on Chelsea when the Blues head to Anfield.
Having won three Premiership matches in a row, Rafa Benitez’ men are up to third in the table – eight points behind the Stamford Bridge side - and there is all to play for at the weekend in what should be an exciting event for online football betting fans to get their teeth into.
Something eager online football betting punters already might have noted, is that the Reds must beat Chelsea and hope that Manchester United slip up against Arsenal on Sunday to close the 14-point gap on Sir Alex Ferguson’s men but, more realistically they are looking to close on second place with Chelsea suffering a dip in form and the uncertainty over Jose Mourinho’s future.
Mourinho has once again failed to dismiss speculation he will be leaving Stamford Bridge Chelsea despite growing rumours that he is ready to walk away while his relationship with owner Roman Abramovich is reported to be at breaking point.
Liverpool are a confident outfit at present and lanky hit-man Peter Crouch scored a brace in the 3-1 win at Watford over the weekend but anyone considering the striker in their online football betting strategy should be aware that he is not certain to start, with Benitez still employing a rotation policy with Craig Bellamy and Dirk Kuyt sharing playing time with him.
Following three draws, Chelsea bounced back with a thumping 4-0 win over Wigan but Saturday’s clash on Merseyside could go a long way to deciding if the reigning champions can hang onto their title this season and Blue Square’s Premiership odds could also change as a result.
Online Football betting enthusiasts will be aware these sides have had many important showdowns in recent years with big Premiership meetings and Champions League clashes. The overall historic head-to-head stats have Liverpool on top with 57 victories to Chelsea’s 44 and there have been 26 draws but the past couple of seasons see Chelsea on top with six victories to the Reds three and there have been three draws.
Online golf betting focused on Abu Dhabi
The 2007 European Tour gets into full swing this week with a high-class field assembled in the Middle East for the second staging of the Abu Dhabi Championship which offers plenty online golf betting opportunities.
Six of Europe’s victorious Ryder Cup side, plus South African Retief Goosen and Australasian Order of Merit winner Nick O’Hern are all chasing the $333,330 first prize.
Chris DiMarco is looking to defend the title after winning his first tournament in four years here last year and the American is bound to be popular in online golf betting.
Also prominent in Blue Square’s online golf betting will be European number one Padraig Harrington, Sergio Garcia and Henrik Stenson.
Goosen’s participation looks to be a clear signal of his intent to try to win his second Order of Merit title following on from his success in 2002 and he is still one of the most consistent golfers around. He has finished in the top five in three of his last four stroke play events.
Horse Race betting bonanza
Fans of hose race betting are in for a treat at the weekend with some top class action, including Ascot’s Victor Chandler Chase in which Oneway tops the weights. Mark Rimell’s 10-year-old is a six times winner and has been going well this season.
Haydock features the Peter Marsh Chase in which Nicky Richards Turpin Green will be popular among those having a bet on horse racing after he beat Exotic Dancer at Carlisle and is locally owned.
To be in with a chance of winning with Blue Square this weekend, especially in online football betting, bet on football, golf or horse racing now and good luck.
