Featured Tip from James Bartman

Pick Details

Sport / league:: English Premier League
Event / fixture:: Swansea vs. Man Utd
Event date: Sun, 22 Feb 2015 at 2:00 AM
Market:: Total Goals
Tip:: Under 2.5 @ 1.91 (Centrebet)
Tip Result:: Loss

Man Utd are frequently attacked by pundits for their poor performances but they continue getting results, losing just 1 of their last 19 EPL matches.

Swansea, meanwhile, are still trying to find themselves after the departure of Wilfried Bony. They have now won only 1 of their last 7 EPL matches.

I predict this match will be either a low scoring draw or a low scoring win for United. On the road 11 out Man Utd's last 17 games have gone under 2.5 goals, including their last four straight. The last eight games for Swansea have seen them score one goal at the most, which has contributed to 6 of their last 8 games going under 2.5.

Given these trends, 1.91 is decent value for this total to be under 2.5 goals as well. Some bookmakers have the under selection as short as 1.79.
