Football Multi Bet: $17.79 Tip for Monday

There are only two matches for Kiwi football fans to enjoy on Monday morning, but plenty of betting opportunities still exist on top NZ bookmakers to explore. Here’s a three-bet multi from Tottenham vs Villa and Liverpool vs United that offers an 18x return if it hits. 

Monday October 20, 2:00am NZT, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Recent history between Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa points to entertainment - 17 goals across their last five meetings tells how goal-heavy this fixture has been. 

Unai Emery's side have rediscovered their scoring boots with seven goals in three games after an early dry spell. Frank, meanwhile, has kept Tottenham's offensive identity intact - only City and Arsenal have scored more than their 13 this term. They are less gung-ho now, compared to last season, but the goals are still coming. 

Football betting tips experts are expecting another high-scoring Villa-Spurs meeting on Monday. Betting on more than 2.5 goals is a smart start to this multi.

Monday October 20, 4:30am NZT, Anfield

Amorim’s men have not won an away match since March, even though they did avoid defeat at Anfield last season. 

Their win against Sunderland at home was a much welcome result for United. Still, we remain sceptical about their chances in Merseyside.

The reigning champions have hit a rough patch with three straight losses after flying out of the blocks, so expect a wounded animal desperate to respond. The odds on New Zealand betting sites suggest as much. Liverpool should be too hot for United to handle at Anfield.

Monday October 20, 4:30am NZT, Anfield

The iconic “Mo Salah, Mo Salah, Mo Salah, running down the wing, Salah, la, la, la, The Egyptian King!” chant from the Kop End should create a deafening atmosphere at Anfield. 

Salah's legacy at Anfield is already secure, but the 33-year-old hasn't quite hit his usual heights since penning his new contract. 

Manchester United, though, have been his favourite opposition - at least that’s what 16 career goals and strikes in eight of his last nine league clashes with them tell us. 

Given United's defensive frailties this term - no other team in the top 15 have conceded more than the 11 goals they let in so far - early opportunities should fall in Salah’s way. We believe he will take them.
