Each week this season our
football betting analyst
Nathan Joyes will be highlighting five market movers that have caught his attention. Are they worth backing or are they a trap? Let’s dive into five games and whether they are a bet in the new
betting prices
at BetMGM.
Spurs vs Everton
Despite Spurs failing to score in their opening three matches, punters haven’t given up on them just yet. Having opened up at 13/10, Spurs are now as short as 1/1 with BetMGM to secure their first three points of the season vs Everton at home this weekend.
There’s no getting away from the fact the pressure is on Spurs after spending an absolute fortune during the summer, and although the Toffees haven’t lost as of yet, the market suggests this will be their first.
Everton were moments away from a 2-1 defeat last Saturday against Man United, only for Ainsley Maitland-Niles’ last minute equaliser to rescue a point. They did the same vs Bournemouth the week before, and perhaps their luck is about to run out.
The pressure is on the hosts, but they have beaten Everton in their last five home matches, with four of those to nil. History favours Spurs, but they will need to show a much improved performance in order to come out on top. This is certainly no banker at a short price.
Odds: Spurs to win was 13/10 now 1/1
Lazio vs AC Milan
Over in Italy, despite Lazio winning all three Serie A games to date, Lazio are still the outsiders to get the better of AC Milan. However, punters aren't buying into their underdog status and the money has come for the hosts in the build up to kick-off on Saturday evening.
Lazio beat Bologna and Genoa 1-0 before coming from behind to beat a resilient Udinese side on their travels. The early stages of the season have been very promising for Lazio who share top spot with Inter and Roma.
AC Milan are also unbeaten, which is why this looks to be a competitive fixture. Wins against Torino and Venezia were followed up with a 1-1 draw vs Juventus on the road, but they were fortunate to pick up a point on that occasion. Juventus outplayed them and dominated every statistic, and perhaps AC Milan should be heading into this match with a defeat to their name.
And so there's plenty of value with the hosts, and it's easy to see why bettors are keen to get the hosts on side. Lazio will be confident they can make it four from four - especially at home.
Odds: Lazio to win was 12/5 now 9/4
Oldham vs Chesterfield
Oldham have been well supported coming in from 13/10 to 23/20 with BetMGM to record their third win of the season. Despite losing 2-0 on the road last time out against Tranmere, Oldham return to Boundary Park hoping to make it three from three in front of their own supporters.
Having beaten both Port Vale and Swindon to nil, as well as scoring five in the process, bettors are looking to get behind the Latics once again after two dominant performances.
Chesterfield may have beaten Salford on the road, but they lost fair and square against Rotherham 2-1, in a match where the hosts also missed a first half penalty when 1-0 up.
Oldham’s performances have been chalk and cheese home and away but back in familiar surroundings, it’s easy to see why punters are confident they can continue their 100% record.
At odds-against, Oldham look to be a really strong bet on Saturday afternoon.
Odds: Oldham to win was 15/13/10 now 23/20
Stockport vs Leicester
Stockport will look to pile on the misery for Russel Martin who heads into this match on the back of a 4-0 home defeat vs Oxford United. The pre-season League One favourites sat in 18th place after five rounds, scoring just four goals. It has been a nightmare start for the Foxes.
The hosts, however, are very much enjoying themselves in 3rd spot. Having won three matches, including a 5-1 win over Wycombe at home, there’s no surprise to see the Hatters as firm favourites to record another three points.
Having opened at 10/11 with BetMGM, they are now as short as 4/5 with punters clearly having no faith in the visitors under Martin. Another heavy defeat could see his reign cut short, and the clear divide he is creating in the dressing room is clearly impacting the performances. It’s difficult to oppose Stockport this weekend.
Odds: Stockport to win was 10/11 now 4/5
Sheffield United vs Wolves
Although Sheffield United have one more point than Wolves and are set to entertain them on home soil, it is the visitors punters are interested in this week.
Wolves have been banging in the goals since their return to the Championship and although they lost 4-2 vs West Ham and were held 2-2 by rivals Birmingham in the last two outings, bettors believe their firepower is stronger than what the Blades have to offer.
Sheffield United have also been conceding for fun, and last time out at home Norwich not only took all three points, but also stuck three past them. Wolves will be in a confident mood that they can do the same, and while this may be a goal fest, it's Wolves who look more likely to come out on top as they eye up a quick return to the Premier League.
