What is the Bet of the Day?

The bet of the day is either a single, double, triple or accumulator that our expert has selected, based on a number of factors including form and statistics.

How do we select our bet of the day?

Finding the best value bet out there can be tricky given the vast amount of matches and markets available, thus we assess all of these and sort through to find the best bet with the strongest value.

What do we keep an eye out for in our bet of the day?

The most important thing we look out for is the value that each bet provides. We are looking for bets that not only have a good chance of coming in, but also picks that hold great value.

What are the odds of the bet of the day?

We never choose a specific price for our bet of the day, but in general, we attempt to choose those bets that are around a price of evens (1/1 or 2.0) and above.

Bees to ease past the Eagles

Having travelled to Man City in midweek, Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner may opt for some light rotation. His priority will be to keep players fit and fresh for the upcoming Conference League final.

The Eagles started this month with a 3-0 defeat at Bournemouth. They have struggled to find any real consistency in the league, with their European commitments taking precedence.

Brentford have won eight home matches in an impressive Premier League campaign. Six of those victories came via margins of two or more goals. That includes a 3-0 victory over West Ham in their most recent outing at the Gtech Community Stadium.

The Bees will be eager to conclude their domestic season with another home victory to boost their chance of leapfrogging Brighton or Bournemouth. Backing the hosts with a -1 handicap seems good with an implied probability of 34.8%.
