With the Capital one cup above, we head into Fridays action. We kick off in Germany where Bayern Munich kick off their season after accumulating 21 clean sheets last term and will aim to get off to a winning start. Bayern’s game is best 8/11 for both teams not to score, but at home, we expect the disciplined side to keep a clean sheet and win to nil. The 2/13 outright is a near certainty, but Ladbrokes go 9/10 Bayern win to nil, with the same outcome just 4/7 elsewhere. This is our lock up single of the day.
We must apologies for the faux pas with the Gasquet bet in Thursdays column. Those that missed out, we will include Gasquet again for those missing out and will back Wigan at home in the super league to double up for a 13/10 return at Coral.
Recommendations:
- Bayern Munich to win to nil – 9/10 Ladbrokes
- Gasquet (Tennis) and Wigan (Rugby League) pays 2.30 at Coral
