QPR v Man Utd Betting Preview

From his sickbed, Andy Hillman previews the weekend action at Loftus Road and elsewhere on the weekend sporting calendar.

Two winners for Hillman last time out at 11/13 and Evens although given he was backing Man Utd and Chelsea to win I don’t think he should be particularly proud of either haul.

The onset of a either a particularly nasty virus or a bad reaction to dental anaesthetic means that it’s a short and sweet version of my column this week...

NAP of the Week: Barnsley to beat Bristol City @ 9/5

Can ANYONE stop the Barnsley juggernaut at the moment? They’ve won six on the spin, and eight of the last nine. They’re at bottom of the table Bristol City, who are good at home, but have lost three of their last four.

QPR Related bet: Man U to win 2-0 or 3-0 at 8/1 or 13/1 Man U will win, even without Rooney (I’m sure they’re shitting it as messageboard regular Simmo ventured earlier in the week...) I can’t decide whether they will win 2-0 or 3-0 though, so I’m ‘dutching’ both scores.

Cup Final Bet: Swansea to win @ BTTS @ 12/5

Swansea will win on Sunday. It’s always the way that the little club falls at the very last hurdle, with a tear in the eye for all the onlookers were rooting for the little guy. They’ll score though, probably from a set piece.
