Online Betting Opportunities On The Continent This Weekend

With a full list of fixtures and all the top clubs involved, there’s plenty of great bets to be had across Europe this weekend.  This is an attempt to identify the best picks of the lot.

As far as the English Premier League goes, the best pick presents itself on Sunday when Man Utd take on Spurs at White Hart Lane.  The current Spurs team have proven they’ve come a long way, frequently beating Chelsea and Arsenal and currently sitting in fourth place and on track to qualify for the Champions League for the second consecutive season.

No matter what team you support, you’ll find good odds since the game is expected to be a close one.  Man Utd can be backed to win at 6/4 whilst Spurs at 2/1.  The bookies have the draw priced at 5/2 and considering Spurs have only lost once this season on home turf and Man Utd have drawn seven out of their nine matches away from home (and won the other two), this appears to be the best bet.

A very significant match in the German Bundesliga takes place on Friday night when league leaders Dortmund take on third placed Leverkusen. Leverkusen are the favourite, at 7/5, over Dortmund at 11/5.  The odds are a little odd considering Dortmund have come out on top of eight of their nine away games and Leverkusen’s home form leaves something to be desired.  Dortmund may very well secure another away win and take home the plate.

The La Liga has thrown out a few surprises with both Barcelona and Real Madrid having win after win and sitting at the top of the league.  This weekend should be no different for either team as they are both up against bottom five sides.  Barcelona takes on Malaga at home and are available at 1/9 whilst real Madrid face very bottom placed Almeria, in Almeria, who are still to get a win on home soil.  Madrid are 2/7, at the time of writing, to win the match.

If you’re still looking for online betting opportunities in Europe this weekend, take a look at the French, Italian and other European leagues as there’s no shortage of Football action across the continent.
