Football Multi Bet: $10.08 Tip for Thursday

The Premier League may be on an international break at the moment but that doesn’t mean some of the big clubs aren’t still in action. There’s some huge Women’s Champion’s League matches this week, and given how light we are on football at the moment, I’ve jumped in and sniffed out some value. Read on for a breakdown of my multi this Thursday, with three legs from Bayern Munich vs Manchester United and Arsenal vs Chelsea. Combined odds sit just above 10x – not bad for a mid-week punt.

Thursday April 2, 5:45am NZT, Allianz Arena

Bayern take a 3-2 lead into this second leg after a chaotic first leg at Old Trafford. Man Utd fought back twice through set pieces but were taken apart in open play.

Now United have to chase the game in Munich, where Bayern haven’t lost all season. They rotated seven players for a 2-0 win over Nurnberg at the weekend and still looked comfortable. Harder has seven goals in her last six outings in this competition. 

I’ve looked at football betting tips across a few sites and nobody’s fancying an upset. At $1.50, I’m not either.

Thursday April 2, 8:00am NZT, Stamford Bridge

Arsenal won the first leg 3-1 through Stina Blackstenius, Chloe Kelly and Alessia Russo. Lauren James curled in a brilliant reply from distance, but Chelsea still need to overturn a two-goal deficit at home, which is a big ask.

The hosts have been leaking goals this season. They conceded three to Villa on Sunday and needed an 82nd-minute winner to scrape a 4-3 victory. Millie Bright, Nathalie Bjorn and Niamh Charles remain injured. 

Arsenal, meanwhile, are at 11 wins in a row. Russo bagged a hat trick against Spurs on Saturday and has eight goals in this competition. They’ve already won 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in the WSL this season. 

I know $2.80 for an away win looks bold, but Arsenal are a level above right now. You can find this price on most betting apps NZ (I’m using Sportaza this week).

Thursday April 2, 5:45am NZT, Allianz Arena

These teams produced five goals in the first leg. 

Man Utd’s two came from set pieces, so they’ve got a route to goal that doesn’t depend on breaking Bayern down in open play.

United trail on aggregate, so sitting deep isn’t an option. Lea Schuller left Bayern in January and will want to prove a point against her old club. Hinata Miyazawa is also back fresh from winning the Asian Cup with Japan. 

I’m backing Bayern to progress, but United to find the net. At $2.40 on the best legal betting sites, this is the pick that gets us over 10x for this women’s football multi.
