In this feature Spreadex Sports look at five bets to look out for in the week ahead. This week, we will look at the latest football, cricket, and golf action.

Note – the below prices are indicative and may be subject to fluctuation

FOOTBALL

1. We start off with West Ham’s Italian striker Gianluca Scamacca, who has adjusted well to life in London and already scored in four out of five of the Hammers’ Europa Conference League games so far. His spread betting Player Goal Minutes for Thursday v Anderlecht are: 28 – 31 and at 7/2 to be first goalscorer on the fixed odds, and 13/10 to score at any time. Will he get on the scoresheet once more?

2. Staying on the topic of prolific frontmen, Man City’s Erling Haaland scoring goals seems almost a certainty at this point, and it is just a question of how many he will end up with this season. After ‘only’ getting a solitary goal last time out and a double in the reverse fixture with City’s next opponents Copenhagen, will the Norwegian mark his return to Scandinavia with another hatful? His spread betting Super Mega Minutes are available at 95 – 115, and at 23/5 on the fixed odds to notch another hat trick.

3. Liverpool take on Man City on Sunday in a crunch fixture - Jurgen Klopp’s side have had a distinctly average start to the season and are way behind the pace, with a loss here surely putting any hopes of the title to bed definitively. Recent history suggests this will be a hugely open and exciting match though, with each of the last five meetings seeing at least four goals scored and both teams scoring. Our Total Goal Minutes spread for the match currently stands at 164 – 179. The last meeting in this season’s Community Shield settled at 264 – will there be a similar make-up here?

GOLF

4. In the golf, it’s the Andalucia Masters this week. Last year’s winner and current US Open Champ Matt Fitzpatrick lost out in a playoff to Robert MacIntyre in the Italian Open last month. We have his spread betting Finishing Position at 16 – 19 and spread betting Leaderboard quote at 20 – 23, while on the fixed odds Outright he is at 9/2..

CRICKET

5. Wednesday and Thursday sees the second and third T20s between Australia and England. Sunday’s first T20 saw England grab a tight win by 8 runs with Alex Hales and Jos Buttler scoring a combined 152. Will that duo have another strong performance this time around? We have Hales Player Performance available at 29 – 33, Buttler Player Performance at 45 – 50. In terms of our special markets, we have Sixes available at 12.25 – 13.25, 50 Ups at 32 – 36 and Launch! at 1410 – 1510.
