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.

Bet Of the Day: Best Football Bet for Friday's Action

Our betting expert offers their tip for Friday as Sassuolo and Verona clash in Serie A this evening at 19:45.

With only 15 points on the board after 25 games, Verona look set to drop into the second tier. There’s little prospect of their fortunes improving here against in-form opposition.

Verona’s problems to increase at the Mapei Stadium

Any prospect of Sassuolo getting sucked into a relegation battle has eased over the past few weeks. They’ve won three of their last four Serie A matches. That run started with a key 1-0 home victory over struggling Cremonese.

A similar outcome looks probable, with Verona offering very little goal threat. I Gialloblu have scored just 0.62 goals per 90 minutes on their travels this term. They’ve failed to score in four of their last seven league fixtures overall.

None of those seven recent games were against teams in the top seven. However, they only collected two points from that favourable run. That poor form strongly points towards a home victory here.
