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.

Stalemate at the break on Wearside

Sunderland’s proud unbeaten home record was finally ended by Liverpool in their last league match. A 61st-minute goal from Virgil van Dijk inflicted a first defeat on the Mackems in front of their own fans. That was one of six Premier League matches at the Stadium of Light this season to have been goalless at half-time.

Fulham’s away games have also tended to take a while to get going. The Cottagers have failed to score in the first half of 77% of their league road matches. Nine of those fixtures have seen them go in goalless or 1-0 down.

With neither attack firing, backing there to be under 0.5 first-half goals stands out as the value bet.
