Soccer Betting Line:

Liverpool-1  -135   -225   2½  O -125   U +105   Draw   +325

Match Time: 10:00 AM Eastern Time Saturday January 30, 2010

Soccer Betting Verdict: Liverpool are firm favourites in the market to take all three points at the expense of Bolton Wanderers at Anfield on Saturday. Liverpool are enjoying a run of positive form with a three-match winning streak at home. In their last six, they are 3-2-1. Given the woes, they have had this season this is an encouraging sign. Liverpool fans will like their favourite odds and should feel confident laying a risk on them.

Betting on Liverpool in the outright market doesn’t offer the best value. Liverpool fans can bank a few extra bucks on Bolton making things difficult for Liverpool by taking Bolton to cover the spread at +1 +115. Bolton fans will have to come to terms with the fact that their side are long shots to win outright, listed at +650. Of course, if you believe in your side and you aren’t convinced the Reds are on the mend, you might want to buck the trend and bet against Liverpool. They have suffered some bizarre losses this season already so I suppose what is one more.

Soccer Betting Line:

Fulham pk  -120   +160   2  O -140   U +120   Draw   +225    
Aston Villa  pk  Ev   +170 2  O -140   U +120   Draw   +225    

Match Time: 10:00 AM Eastern Time Saturday January 30, 2010

Soccer Betting Verdict: Fulham and Aston Villa are separated by ten points in the table but by only three rankings. This will be a huge opportunity for Fulham to climb up the table and close the gap on their Europa Cup rivals Aston Villa. The bookies have released a rather tight betting line on this matchup, listing Fulham at +160 to Aston Villa at +170. Given the close price tags, this match has every chance of ending in a draw. There is a lot at stake for both sides and neither will want to suffer a drop in the table. The draw, trading at +225 is the likeliest outcome and a tempting play. Over 2 at -140 is the favoured outcome as well.

Soccer Betting Line:

Burnley  +1½  +105   +1200   2½  O -140   U +120   Draw   +425    
Chelsea  -1½  -125   -400   2½  O -140   U +120   Draw   +425    

Match Time: 12:30: PM Eastern Time Saturday January 30, 2010

Soccer Betting Verdict: Chelsea FC are solid favourites to win outright and Burnley are untouchable underdogs at +1200. The betting on this match is rather straightforward, Chelsea is the favoured play to get the business done. Unfortunately, this play doesn’t offer value. Blues fans might like to risk a wager on Burnley to make things a tad difficult for Chelsea and cover the spread, listed at + 1 ½ +105. Burnley have a modest record at home so it would not be as outrageous a play as some might think. Moreover, 2 ½ on the Overs is listed at -140 and is the favoured outcome. Perhaps a wager on the Unders at +120 would be a good way to go as Burnley could open that good an account at home.
