S.P.Read Esq: West Ham v Man U

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to Wednesday’s FA Cup match between WEST HAM v MAN U and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

The recommended bet last night was a loser but I’m still not sure how 🙁

I sold the time of the third match goal which came too late on 77 minutes but it looked rock solid to collect when Real Madrid went 2-0 up after just 17 minutes….

An absolute feast of football tonight with something for everyone.

It’s the second set of Champions Quarter Finals:

Atletico Madrid v Barcelona
Benfica v Bayern Munich

A Premier League game at Selhurst Park:

Crystal Palace v Everton

The three games above all look trappy so I’m sticking BBC1 on at 7pm (NOTE EARLY KICK OFF) for Eastenders v Coronation Street….. AKA West Ham v Manchester United.

As you can see the last three games between this pair have finished in a DRAW but there are good reasons for believing that West Ham can break that trend tonight.

The sides are split by just a point in the Premier League this season but there will be a brilliant atmosphere at Upton Park which will very much favour the Hammers who have also had an extra day to prepare for this game after the weekend action. This will be the last Cup game ever staged at Upton Park before the club begin their tenancy of the Olympic Stadium next season.

The two sides are also in vastly different current form. West Ham are now unbeaten in 14 games with their potent strike force of Manuel Lanzini, Dimitri Payet and Andy Carroll whilst Man U have lost three of their last four away games.

Man U’s trip to London on Sunday turned about being a bleak affair. They were help up traffic and then got a drubbing at the hands of Spurs.

I’m happy to buy the Star Spreads West Ham index at 12.5 for a decent bet.
