After landing a 36/1 treble the last round of Premier League matches, James Buttler looks ahead to Thursday's two matches and picks out a 9.5/1 treble.
Ipswich Town v Brighton
Ipswich have shown real spirit in the last few weeks picking up seven points from the last 15 available, including wins over Chelsea and Wolves.
The last three times the Tractor Boys have played Brighton the matches have been drawn, but this is the first time they’ve met in the top-flight since 1983 and Ipswich do boast the second worst home record in the Premier League this season, only winning once, although that did come in their last match at Portman Road against Chelsea.
Brighton haven’t won in the league since November, despite only losing twice, and got back to winning ways when beating Norwich in the FA Cup last weekend.
Brighton’s last four league matches ended in stalemates and the draw is a market punters often ignore. I can quite easily see this match ending honours even and at 14/5 with Bet365 it’s a decent enough price too.
Manchester United v Southampton
Man Utd look like they’ve turned the corner under Ruben Amorim and have finally got a grip on his formation and playing style.
A draw at Liverpool followed by eliminating Arsenal from the FA Cup has put a spring in the step of the Red Devils and hosting struggling Southampton should provide another three league points.
Man Utd may have lost their last three matches at Old Trafford and haven’t lost four on the bounce since 1930, but they are unbeaten against the Saints in 15 top flight matches and it’s tough to see that changing despite Southampton picking up a 3-0 win over Swansea in the FA Cup at the weekend. Ivan Juric’s side have lost their last three in the league and, for me, lose again on Thursday, but I can give them a goal.
Man Utd haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last 10 matches and a Man Utd win with BTTS is a tempting 9/5 with Boyle Sports.
James’ Premier League double
The double is 9.5/1 with Boyle Sports.
