  1. AC Milan v Sassuolo Serie A 2PM Sunday – Back AC Milan at 1.57 with Bet365 and lay 1.59 with SMarkets.
  2. Valencia v Real Madrid La Liga 8PM Sunday – Back Real Madrid at 1.9 with Bet365 and lay 1.93 on Betfair.
  3. Manchester United v Everton Premier League 2PM Sunday – Back Manchester United at 1.8 with Bet365 and lay 1.83 with Betdaq.

  5. Bologna v Atalanta Serie A 2PM Sunday – Back Atalanta at 1.95 with Bet365 and lay 1.99 on Betfair.

Step 3: Let’s get professional here. Look at the expected goals markets. There’s no point wasting your bankroll on a game that’s short odds to finish 0-0. If your bank is small, you have to choose wisely. Obviously, if you have a big bank you can do more matches but let’s look at the goal markets. In a game with high expected goals, there’s more chance of a team going 2 Up!

We have looked at the Bet365 and Betdaq over/under 2.5 goals coupon and selected some matches with high expected goals. We then found the best matches from these games.

Top 5 picks are with over 2.5 trading close to or under 1.5:

  1. AC Milan v Sassuolo Serie A 2PM Sunday – Back AC Milan at 1.57 with Bet365 and lay 1.59 with SMarkets.
  2. Valencia v Real Madrid La Liga 8PM Sunday – Back Real Madrid at 1.9 with Bet365 and lay 1.93 on Betfair.
  3. Bologna v Atalanta Serie A 2PM Sunday – Back Atalanta at 1.95 with Bet365 and lay 1.99 on Betfair.
  4. Arsenal v Manchester City Premier League 5-30PM Saturday – Back Manchester City at 1.44 with Bet365 and lay 1.5 with Betdaq.
  5. FC Koln v Bayer Leverkusen Bundesliga 2-30 Saturday – Back Bayer Leverkusen at 1.8 with Bet365 and lay 1.86 with Betfair.

Step 4: Laying off on the exchanges. Now that we’ve have found the best matches to choose from and placed our bets with Bet365 or Paddy Power we need to lay off on the likes of Betfair or Betdaq.

To do this we use the Profit Rush Bet Calculator to find the correct stake. We have put each game into the calculator for a £200 stake and the cheapest game to do is for the first five picks is AC Milan which costs £4 and the dearest is Atalanta which costs £7.05. Then when we look at the goals markets, AC Milan definitely stands out with Real Madrid for this weekend. Manchester City will cost you £9.30 but because of the expected goals that might be worth investing it too. All in all, we have some cracking opportunities this weekend for 2 Ups!
