Two players collide in the Bundesliga. But what happens next?





Liverpool’s stunning form, Chelsea’s blip at Villa and Man City’s possible fixture pile-up have all helped to make this an incredible Premier League title run-in. And that’s not even mentioning Arsenal.

Our traders have City as 13/10 favourites, Chelsea 15/8, Liverpool 3/1 and Arsenal, who are on the same points and games played as Brendan Rodgers’ side, 12/1 outsiders.

The Gunners can cut those odds if they can get three points in a vital clash against leaders Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in Saturday’s early kick-off. Our Supremacy quote for this one however favours the Blues at Chelsea/Arsenal 0.5 - 0.7.

There are then six 3pm kick-offs with our football spread betting Supremacy prices as follows; Liverpool/Cardiff (h) 1.4 - 1.6, Everton/Swansea 0.85 - 1.05, Hull/West Brom 0.3 - 0.5, Man City/Fulham 2.3 - 2.5, Newcastle/Palace 0.5 - 0.7 and Norwich/Sunderland 0.2 - 0.4.

At 5.30pm Manchester United face another stern test as they travel to a revitalised West Ham. We still have the Red Devils as odds-on favourites here at 8/11 for the win. The draw is 13/5 and West Ham are 7/2.

At 1.30pm on Sunday, Spurs face a Southampton side with little left to play for this season. We have Spurs at 11/10 for the win, the draw 9/4 and Saints 5/2.

The 4pm game sees Aston Villa, fresh from their big win over Chelsea, host Stoke. Villa are 11/10, the draw is 21/10 and Stoke are 10/3.

Boxing

60,000 tickets have been sold and the hype is already building for Froch v Groves 2 at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, May 31st.

Froch was the controversial winner in round nine first time around after surviving an onslaught from Groves in the early rounds and with many observers feeling Groves should have been given more time to continue.

So who will prevail in the second showdown? Our traders have Froch the 4/7 favourite, Groves a 6/4 shot and the draw 25/1. Fight Minutes are priced at 26 – 27.5 meaning our traders think the fight will again finish at around the ninth round.
