Weekend Wagers: Saka Can Be The Star Man In The North London Derby

Our experts have put together some of their strongest fancies for this weekend’s sport which includes selections in the Premier League.
Weekend Wagers

Southampton v Manchester United

Jan Bednarek is known for his tough tackling, but that can sometimes get him into trouble. Facing Manchester United’s quick and skilful attackers like Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes, he might find himself stretched and forced into risky tackles. This could easily lead to a booking, or worse, leaving Southampton exposed. With United’s quality and Southampton struggling for form, there’s a good chance they’ll come away with three points.

Tottenham v Arsenal 

The North London derby is always a highly anticipated fixture, and this weekend’s clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal promises to be no different. Both teams have started the season strongly, and the stakes are high as they vie for early dominance in the Premier League.

Arsenal come into this match with a solid unbeaten run in their first three games of the season. Their recent head-to-head record against Spurs is favourable, with Arsenal winning five of their last seven encounters

Bukayo Saka has been in scintillating form this season. He’s got a knack for scoring against Spurs, with three goals in previous North London derbies. Playing on the right wing, Saka often finds himself in goal-scoring positions. 

On the other side, Destiny Udogie could be a liabilty for Tottenham Hotspur. Playing as a left wing-back, he’ll be up against the likes of Bukayo Saka, and Ben White who could get the better of him forcing him to commitment fouls. Udogie also has a habit of picking up yellow cards. Last season the Italian picked up five yellows and he even got sent off in the Premier League. We wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a booking this weekend.

Selection: Arsenal To Win, Bukayo Saka To Score & Destiny Udogie To Be Carded (12/1) Now (14/1)

Weekend NFL Accumulator

Dallas Cowboys v New Orleans Saints

The Cowboys host the Saints on Sunday off the back of a convincing win against the Browns. Its hard to read too much into the Saints blowout win over Carolina last week. The Panthers looking like an early candidate to be the worst team in the league. With the Cowboys defence already proving to be one of the more dominant units in the league, and an offense lead by the highest paid player in the league, Dak Prescott, a win for the Cowboys should be on the cards.

The Minnesota Vikings v San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers face the Vikings on Sunday at U.S Bank Stadium. The 49ers defence will have Sam Darnold in their sights with this being his first major test against the defence that kept Aaron Rodgers and the Jets relatively quiet. With a new look Vikings defensive line, Brock Purdy and Deebo Samual should have too much quality.

New England Patriots v Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks face the Patriots on Sunday with two new coaches on the sidelines. The Patriots were a big underdog last week when beating Cincinnati, but Seattle got their season off to a good start beating the Broncos. With a strong defence and safety Julian Love on form, the Seahawks will be confident of going 2-0 by beating the Patriots.

New York Jets v Tennessee Titans

The Jets play the Titans aiming to get their first win of the season. A difficult opener against the 49ers ended in defeat for the Jets. However, there were positives with the pleasing return of Aaron Rodgers. The Tians were beaten by the Bears, where they were led by rookie quarterback Caleb Williams. Tennessee haven’t scored at least 30 points in 36 consecutive regular season games and are up against the Jet’s historical strength, their defence. Expect this run to continue as the Jets get their first win of the season.

Selection: Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks & New York Jets all to Win Money Line Was (10/3) Now (7/2)
