Football Multi Bet: $11.87 Tip for Sunday

Premier League action continues this weekend with some brilliant fixtures. For those that fancy getting involved at NZ bookmakers, I’ve got three great value tips for Sunday. By combining a home win for Bournemouth, a dominant display from Manchester City, and a Leeds victory, I’ve built a multi bet that could deliver just shy of 12x your money.

Sunday December 21, 4:00am NZT, Vitality Stadium

Bournemouth welcomes Burnley to the Vitality Stadium this Sunday. The hosts are playing well on their own patch, with fast, attacking football that puts defenders under pressure immediately. Their recent home games have seen plenty of goals, and Bournemouth look full of confidence.

Burnley is having a tough time on their travels though. They struggle to keep clean sheets away from home and rarely offer enough threat going forward. It’s no secret that they look nervous when defending and have dropped a lot of points on the road this season.

I see a comfortable win for the home team here. Bournemouth has too much pace for this Burnley defence, so the first of my football betting tips is to trust the host’s strong home form. 

Sunday December 21, 4:00am NZT, Etihad Stadium

Manchester City are in scary form as they take on West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. They control games with ease, keeping the ball and creating chances at will. At home, they are almost impossible to stop. They have tightened up at the back too, which makes them even harder to beat. When they get in front, they rarely let the opponent back in.

West Ham usually sets up defensively in these big away games. However, their record against City is poor. They often spend the whole game chasing shadows and get worn down by City’s passing.

I expect City to dominate from start to finish. A standard win pays very little, so for the second leg of this multi, I am backing them to win both halves. It offers much better value and is a perfect way to use any free bets as a standalone punt too.

Sunday December 21, 9:00am NZT, Elland Road

Leeds United rounds out our multi with a match against Crystal Palace. Leeds thrives on the energy of the Elland Road crowd, playing with high intensity, running hard and pressing all over the pitch. They are desperate to climb the table, and that motivation will help in a tight game like this.

Crystal Palace, on the other hand, is a hard team to predict. They have talent, but are very inconsistent, especially away from London. They often struggle against teams that press them high up the field and can be slow to start matches.

I think Leeds will want this more. They have the work rate to unsettle Palace and the quality to score goals. Backing the home win feels like the right move.
