Anorak: Eagle-eyed bet is Palace at 11-10

Published on 16/02/2013 04:45

CRYSTAL Palace, available at a shade of odds-against to beat poor travellers Middlesbrough look this weekend’s best bet.

Manager Ian Holloway has an abundance of striking talent at his disposal, having signed ex-Hibs and Swansea striker Stephen Dobbie and the evergreen Kevin Phillips, who scored a late equaliser at Watford last week.

Add to this the goal threat of the Championship’s top scorer Glenn Murray and Manchester United-bound Wilfried Zaha, and they are a potent team. Tony Mowbray’s have lost their past five on the road, including a 4-0 thumping at lowly Ipswich and could face a similar fate at Sehurst Park today. Back the Eagles at 11-10 with Hills/Coral.

Walsall are punching above their weight and can make it six straight home wins against struggling Notts County – Bet 365 offer a best-priced 5-4

Barnsley who are thriving under new boss David Flitcroft and they can end MK Dons cup run at a massive 21-10 with Bet 365.

And should in-form Dundee United really be 8-1 shots (with Scotbet) when they travel to Parkhead to face Celtic who have the league sewn up and are suffering after their midweek disappointment. Even if I am wrong, I am right at that price!
