With the FA Cup there is sure to be plenty of drama this weekend. However there seems to be some perfect opportunities to put a lovely banker accumulator this week. Extra work has been put in to avoid the potential banana skins, and this bet looks pretty darn good on paper.
This encounter brings Derby County and Crystal Palace together to lock horns and battle it out for progression in the FA Cup. Crystal Palace have been unable to win a single game on their travels in the league so far this season, they’ve also had difficulty scoring away from Selhurst Park; averaging just one goal per game in the thirteen played to date.
The Fa Cup just wouldn’t be the same without the David and Goliath style giant killings. The Fa Cup 3rd round begins on Friday evening when Liverpool take on Oldham, and continues through to Sunday. I’m going to make my predictions where I think some of the bigger teams may come up against a potential banana skin.
Top of the league Galatasaray face 9th placed Istanbul BB in their first game in 2012. The home side have been in magnificent form, and a run of 6 straight wins in the Turkish Super League has put them 2 points clear of arch rivals Fenerbahce.
At this busy time of the season, it pays to follow teams closely and see just how well they are coping at this important stage of the season. Many teams are struggling with the demands of the cramped fixture lists, while others are relishing it and finding some good form. We are midway through the season and have found some good value bets for this Monday.
Blackburn scraped a 1-1 draw at Anfield against Liverpool on Boxing Day, but they seem a million miles away from having stability and content fans. A devastating home loss to Bolton showed the extent of Rovers misery, and it’s highly unlikely they will get so much of a sniff of victory at Old Trafford this Saturday.
