A winning weekend despite the weather! And Man City v Blackburn tonight

Monday 11th January 2010

In Football Betting Data today:

• The Big Freeze hits the Premier League...
  
• A winning weekend - despite the weather!
  
• Man City v Blackburn tonight...

The 'Big Freeze' made its mark on the football calendar at the
weekend, with the snow wiping out most games in the UK - including 7
out of 9 Premier League fixtures...

Only Arsenal v Everton and Birmingham v Man Utd survived. Both games
ended in draws, with Arsenal scoring a late equaliser to draw 2-2
with Everton and Man Utd also having to come from behind at
Birmingham.

• Stats fact... Last season 18 Premier League games ended in 2-2
  draws. There have already been 14 games with that score-line in
  2009/10 - and we're only half-way though the season. Usual odds for
  the 2-2 'Correct Score' - 22/1.

With so many games called off, only 1 of the recommended bets from
our Friday email ran in the end - and it was a winner...

A winning weekend - despite the weather!

Hull v Chelsea - Match Postponed

FBD said:

• 'Quatro - Chelsea to win with 3 or more goals scored in the
  match' @ 11/10 - VOID (stakes returned)

Liverpool v Tottenham - Match Postponed

FBD said:

• 'Over 2.5 Goals' @ 5/6 - VOID (stakes returned)

Birmingham 1 Man Utd 1

Corners = Birmingham 2 Man Utd 12

FBD said:

• 'Asian Handicap Corners - Man Utd -2.5' @ 5/6 - WON

Man Utd were odds-on to beat Birmingham on Saturday night - but had
to settle for a draw with the in-form Blues.

However they landed our bet by a mile, winning 10 corners more than
Birmingham (2-12). All Man Utd 'Corner Handicap' bets paid out a
winner with the bookies. They've now won the Most Corners in 9 out
of 11 away games (82%).

• Birmingham are now unbeaten in 12 games - a club record - and
  have fielded the same starting XI in their last 9 Premier League
  games in a row.
  

Now for a look at tonight's live game from the City of Manchester
Stadium...

Manchester City v Blackburn Rovers

TONIGHT - Mon 11th Jan, 8pm live on ESPN
Ref: C.Foy

The bookies make Man City odds-on for a home win tonight, at 1/2
(1.50). City have won both games 'To Nil' since Roberto Mancini took
over as manager, 2-0 at home v Stoke and 3-0 away at Wolves. In that
time Blackburn have drawn 1-1 away at Wigan and 2-2 at home with
Sunderland.

• Based on the last 6 games' form, Man City are up in 2nd place
  in the Premier League and Rovers are down in 17th

Our Corners data highlight the best match-up for tonight's game...

• Man City have won the Most Corners in 7 out of 9 home games
  (78%)

• Blackburn have only won the Most Corners in 3 out of 10 away
  games (30%)

The Corners For averages also show Man City are the team most likely
to win the Most Corners this evening. Man City at home = 7.8 Corners
For per game. Blackburn away = 3.8 Corners For per game.

City are 5th in the league. A look at Blackburn's away Corners
record v other top 5 teams this season backs up what the stats are
saying...

Arsenal 6 Blackburn 2
Corners = Arsenal 8 Blackburn 1

Chelsea 5 Blackburn 0
Corners = Chelsea 8 Blackburn 0

Man Utd 2 Blackburn 0
Corners = Man Utd 7 Blackburn 2

Bookies have given Man City a -3 Corner Handicap v Blackburn. That
bet would've paid out a winner in 4 of the 7 City home games where
they've won the Most Corners.

Blackburn have been out-cornered in 5 away games and bets on the
home team with a -3 Corner Handicap would've paid out in all 5 of
those games.

It should be back to business as normal in the Premier League this
weekend. There are 10 games scheduled and I'll be highlighting all
the standout stats in your match preview email on Friday...

Until then remember you can view all the latest stats and Head-2-
Head data at our website.
