PREMIER LEAGUE WEDNESDAY: We preview Wednesday’s game between SOUTHAMPTON v MAN U with a recommended BETDAQ bet.


SOUTHAMPTON V MANCHESTER UNITED

7.45pm After a home draw to Swansea at the end of April, Jose Mourinho decided to focus on the Europa League instead of the Premier League, and since then they’ve had two losses away to Arsenal and Spurs. It seems certain that Mourinho will continue to rest players here, with the Europa League final only a week away, and the odds at the time of writing currently trade; Southampton 2.78, Manchester United 2.88 and the draw is 3.4.

With United’s focus elsewhere, we can hardly argue with the fact that Southampton are favourites – indeed, maybe they should be shorter than the current 2.78. Maybe the fact that they’ve played poorly against the top six this season is keeping them that high, as they’ve lost eight of their 11 games against the top six thus far – and in the five of those games at home, they’ve lost four. You’d have to say though that a weakened United side is hardly going to be the same level as Chelsea or Spurs this season so we can’t put much importance on it, however it’s a good guide to show how Southampton have been outclassed this season.

A United lay is tempting, however the value is in the goals market. Under 2.5 goals is 1.85 at the moment and that looks massive. Southampton haven’t been scoring many goals this season, and have only scored four goals in their last six games – with two of those coming against Middlesbrough who are already relegated. Couple this with the fact that United have failed to score that many this season too and seen under 2.5 goals win in five of their last six in all competitions, plus the fact that they’ll rest their most important players – the unders just looks too big, and that will be our best bet.

BETDAQ BEST BET:
Under 2.5 goals at 1.85.
