Best betting tips to bank on for Friday
Club football resumes in various leagues across the world, and we have picked on three games that can be banked on by punters for returns come Friday.
DERBY COUNTY vs WATFORD
Derby ended their losing streak with their vital 1-0 over Norwich just before the international break. That prevented them from making one of the worst starts in their history, but can things continue to improve for the Rams?
Watford have been in mixed form in the Championship, with goals a major problem for the Hornets. They’ve scored only twice in four matches so far, with just three goals scored in total across their matches.
Meanwhile, Derby have failed to score in both home games so far and they have converted just 4% of their chances this term. With Watford restricting their opponents to an average of eight shots per game, that leaves us backing a low-scoring clash here.
Watford have picked up just one win in their last 15 away league games (D3 L11), failing to win any of the last 10 on the road.
Looking at the pre-match facts, Watford have left without a victory over Derby County in games played away from home for the previous 3 league matches,and haven’t won away from home in the past 10 league matches. What a terrible run of away results.
The under 2.5 goals odds is priced at 1.80 odds by Betwinner.
NIMES vs PSG
Paris Saint-Germain will be looking to extend their winning run in Ligue 1 to five games when they take on Nimes at Stade des Costieres. Les Parisiens made a slow start to the season, but, as expected, they quickly returned to winning ways in the French top flight. Thomas Tuchel’s troops impressed in a 6-1 win over Angers before the international break, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Nimes on Matchday 7.
A man to watch in the away team will be Neymar, who scored a brace against Angers. Both Layvin Kurzawa and Angel Di Maria are sidelined through suspension for the visitors. Nimes, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Montpellier. Les Crocodiles are undefeated in the previous four league fixtures, but PSG will pose a much bigger threat for the hosts than their previous rivals.
PSG have won their last four games in Ligue 1, the best current run of any side. They have kept a clean sheet in three of these four games, truly bouncing back from their absentee-hit start to the season.
We expect the visitors to continue that good run, having won all of their last four meetings with Nimes. The visitors have won 3-0 in three of those victories and they look good for another comprehensive win this weekend.
Nîmes have failed to score in two of their previous Ligue 1 games against Paris, conceding six goals.
We predict that PSG to win to nil here priced at 2.25 odds by 1xbet.
DIJON vs RENNES
Stade Gaston Gerard will host Friday’s football game between Dijon and Rennes. Les Hiboux suffered a heavy 3-0 loss to Bordeaux before the international break, with the team remaining in the ultimate position in the standings. Dijon made a slow start to the season, and given their shaky defence, we do not believe that there is a big value in betting on the underdogs.
Rennes, on the other hand, have been impressive at the start of the season, with the team leading the chase for Ligue 1 title after six rounds. Les Rouges et Noirs aim to cement top position in the standings, and they should take advantage of Dijon’s current form. In their last meeting in the French top flight Dijon recorded a 2-1 win over Rennes, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge.
Our feeling is that Dijon will need to push hard to get anything against this Rennes team who we reckon will score at least once to gain the upper hand.
So, we go with Rennes to win either half here priced at 1.44 odds by 22bet.
