62/1 Shot Acca Could Kickstart February
We're backing Man Utd, Spurs and Southampton to win with their opponents Stoke, Hull and Fulham to score in defeat.
StanJames are offering another one of their £5 free bets when you place £5 on a selected treble or accumulator. This week it’s a case of picking the match results in fixtures where you think both teams will score. We’re going for this 62/1 shot:
Man Utd to win v Stoke with BTTS
Southampton to win v Fulham with BTTS
Tottenham to win v Hull with BTTS
We start at the Britannia Stadium where Stoke have scored in their last four outings in all competitions. The problem Mark Hughes has is that the Potters have lost five of their last six in the league and are sliding down the table. Man Utd are revived by the arrival of Juan Mata at the same time that Wayne Rooney and Van Persie have returned to fitness. Those three can ensure three points here.
Next up expect Southampton to pile on the woes for a Fulham side who have lost 11 of their last 15 league games at Craven Cottage. The Cottagers main problem is that they have conceded 50 top flight goals - ten more than anybody else. The Saints have also struggled for clean sheets in recent months but they have plenty more quality and should prevail.
Finally, we’re anticipating Spurs maintaining the best away record in the Premier League. The Lilywhites average 2.27 points per game on the road having won eight of 11 fixtures. They face a Hull team who are always capable of scoring at home, and now they have £14m worth of new strikers to help. But the Tigers have lost four on the bounce and are now involved in a relegation dogfight.
