Those bookies that decided to take on the money buyers in the English Premier Saturday matches had their Christmas stockings well and truly filled.
Not only did the big odds on chances, like Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United, fail to deliver, but significant market moves for the likes of Werder Bremen in Germany, Aris in Greece and Reading in the English Championship; also failed to materialise.
Add in the failings of 1/5 (1.20) Standard Liege and Portuguese league leaders Benfica and you had what can genuinely be termed a good day for the layers.
It is probably fortunate for the “odds on must be on“ brigade that there are not many high profile sides at ridiculously short prices in Sunday’s schedules. In fact Greek champions Olympiakos - at odds of 1/10 (1.10) and fellow Athenians AEK 1/4 (1.25) are the two shortest teams on offer.
AEK have major financial troubles and their fans [?] occupied their offices in protest this week. So the players may not be in the best state of mind for their match with struggling Levediakos.
The 4to1.com kick and run team stayed out of the Saturday exchanges.
But we have short listed a couple of matches for Sunday, where Liverpool and Arsenal meet at Anfield with both hoping to secure all three points and take advantage of the hiccups of the sides’ ahead of them.
In Germany, Wolfsburg – well supported in the week to beat an under strength Manchester United - are just short of even money (2.00) to beat Borussia Dortmund in their Bundesliga encounter and similarly priced Atletico Madrid entertain Villarreal in a game that looks highly unlikely to be scoreless.
We can pass on a move for Paris St Germain hosting St Etienne in France.
The market support is likely a result of the visitor’s pathetic display at Lille on Thursday where they lost 4-0.
But PSG are not a side to be getting excited about at odds of around 4/6 (1.667) and they will not be in our selections, which are below.
