9th Feb 2019 | Premier League

Saturday Acca

Arsenal aren't great on the road but surely they can beat beleaguered Huddersfield? Meanwhile, Bristol City and Brentford are tearing up the Championship in 2019 but their odds are yet to catch up with them.

For Saturday’s acca we’re adding a predictable Premier League option with better than expected odds, to two of the Championship’s form teams. Back Arsenal, Bristol City and Brentford to win at best odds of 12/1 with Bet365.

Arsenal to win @ Huddersfield: (8/11)

It’s very rare that you look at odds for a big team versus a small team and feel surprised by the generosity of the odds but that’s the case here. How Arsenal get anywhere near evens-money is a surprise given their top-6 credentials and Huddersfield’s run of 11 defeats in their last 12 league outings. The Gunners’ relatively poor away record gives us the price, but their form is good enough.

Bristol City to win @ Blackburn: (19/10)

I’m always interested when I see a side on a 7-match winning run in all competitions priced up as marginal underdogs. That’s the case here with Bristol City, who have stormed into play-off contention, and they haven’t lost a match of any description since late November. Admittedly Blackburn’s home form is decent but Rovers lost 5-2 last time out and must be opposed at the prices.

Brentford to win @ Forest: (8/5)

The team who put 5 goals past Blackburn last weekend was Brentford and I’m happy to have them complete our treble at another favourable price. The Bees are absolutely full of goals at the moment, netting 18 times in their last 5 outings across all competitions. Despite being 17th in the table, they are unbeaten in 10 matches in total. Forest are in their sights after 3 defeats in 4 league fixtures has probably ended Martin O’Neill’s playoff hopes.

Odds correct at time of publishing: 10:38 9th Feb, 2019 but subject to change
