The Betfair Football £10 Bet of the Day
Day 193: We're backing Volger-Gazprom to beat Fakel at [2.0]
Our latest Bet of the Day is one of our most controversial selections to date as we're putting out faith in a Russian second division team that have lost their last five matches at [2.0] to turn things around against a side that find wins even harder to come by than they do themselves.
Volger-Gazprom's run of five successive defeats may be dreadful but there is plenty of evidence to indicate that it's not a terminal problem, not least the fact that prior to their two recent losses at home, they had gone seven unbeaten in front of their fans, triumphing in the more recent three.
Fakel by contrast have to go back to the opening day of the campaign for their last taste of victory. They have played nine games since and failed to even score in six of the last seven, while the extent of their malaise was fully revealed by last week's 3-2 reverse when hosting fellow strugglers Baltika.
Further encouragement for a flutter on Volger-Gazprom is provided by the fact that home advantage proves to be fairly significant in clashes between these two, with the visiting club conquered in each of the last four encounters. Fakel were thumped 5-0 on their last trip to the Central Stadium.
Our bet: We're backing Volger-Gazprom to defeat Fakel at [2.0], meaning that - before factoring in commission - we stand to win £10. The same punt pays only £8 with Bet365. Sign up for a new account now and have your first bet of up to £25 refunded if it loses.
