The Betfair Football £10 Bet of the Day
Day 75: We're laying Bursaspor against Kayserispor at [2.1]
The heartache of Wednesday and Thursday's losing Coppa Italia wagers was completely forgotten by the end of last week after our bold decision to oppose PSV, who were unbeaten on their travels all season, away to NAC Breda paid off and got the Bet of the Day back on track in style.
The lay bet worked so well that we're going to do the same again tonight, going against yet another title chasing side on the continent by laying Turkish champions Bursaspor at [2.1] in their home match against Kayserispor.
Despite suffering humiliation in Champions League Group C, their latest loss being a 6-1 thumping at the hands of Valencia, they remain only five points behind leaders Trabzonspor, with the opportunity to close that gap to two with victory this evening.
The Green Crocodiles' form is absolutely atrocious though, as they've won just two of their last dozen encounters in all competitions. Worryingly, both of those came away to bottom-half teams, whereas they are winless in five home outings, four of which took place in domestic competitions.
Their opponents Kayserispor are level on points, meaning this is an absolutely crucial fixture for the visitors if they are to take advantage of the continued struggles of Istanbul giants Fenerbahce (fourth), Besiktas (fifth) and Galatasaray (tenth) and challenge for their first ever championship.
They boast all the momentum ahead of their visit to the title holders having gone nine games unbeaten and lost only once in 90 minutes all season and their record against Bursaspor is similarly encouraging - tasting defeat in just two of their last ten meetings, winning six and keeping six clean sheets.
Our bet: We're laying Bursaspor at home to Kayserispor at [2.1], meaning that - before factoring in commission - we stand to win £9.09. Sign up for a new account now and have losing bets up to a total of £30 refunded for a week.
