Analyzing Last Week’s Betting Lessons
The art of sports betting often teaches harsh lessons, and last weekend was no exception. While Brentford’s seven offsides against Liverpool seemed like a golden opportunity, an unnecessary inclusion of Bryan Mbeumo in the bet cost a potential payout. Brentford’s Yoane Wissa alone accounted for four offsides, proving that sometimes, simplicity is key. A straightforward bet on four or more offsides at 7/2 would have been the smarter play—a reminder to stick to core value angles.

Mcw 11/1 Treble: Breaking Down the Value
Manchester Derby: Under 3.5 Goals & United for Most Cards
Manchester City’s recent form against “Big Six” sides (excluding Liverpool) reveals a trend: only one of their last 14 away matches in this category saw four or more goals. City’s attacking output has dipped sharply—from 3.7 goals per game in their first nine Premier League matches to just 1.5 in their last eight. Their recent goalless draw against Southampton, where they failed to register a single shot on target, further underscores this decline.
Meanwhile, in 10 of City’s last 11 domestic games where they dropped points, the opposition received more cards. United’s aggressive pressing and tactical fouls (especially in midfield) make them a strong candidate to top the disciplinary count.
James Ward-Prowse: Shot on Target vs Everton
Southampton’s talisman has thrived in an advanced role, almost operating as a second striker. With his lethal set-pieces and penalty duties, Ward-Prowse is a constant threat. Against an Everton defense that has conceded the most shots this season, backing him to test the keeper (as he’s done in three of his last five appearances) is a statistically sound move.
Nottingham Forest vs Leicester: Both Teams to Score? “No”
Leicester’s post-World Cup struggles are glaring—just two goals in five matches across all competitions. Forest, meanwhile, have been involved in low-scoring affairs at home. The 11/10 odds for “no” on both teams scoring offer excellent coverage for likely outcomes like 1-0 or 0-0.
Why This Treble Makes Sense
- City’s subdued attack + United’s disciplinary record = Under 3.5 goals & card advantage.
- Ward-Prowse’s advanced role + Everton’s defensive leaks = High shot probability.
- Leicester’s scoring drought + Forest’s tight home games = Low-scoring fixture.
Final Thoughts
This 11/1 treble on Mcw combines tactical trends, player form, and team weaknesses into a high-value play. Whether you’re a stats-driven bettor or a fan of in-game narratives, these angles offer a compelling case.
