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.

City to boost title bid with big win

This will be the third meeting of Man City and Newcastle already in 2026. Pep Guardiola’s team were convincing 5-1 aggregate winners in a recent EFL Cup semi-final.

They’re at an advantage here given they secured direct passage into the round of 16 in the Champions League. By contrast, this match falls in between the two legs of a UCL play-off tie for Newcastle. The Magpies are already short on numbers, with several players currently out injured.

After a slow start to the new year, City have taken 10 points from four league outings. They should have too much firepower for a Newcastle defence that is leaking goals. The visitors have suffered 4-1 and 3-2 defeats within the space of their last three Premier League games.

Eddie Howe’s side are also averaging only one point per match away in the English top flight. Backing Man City to win and over 3.5 goals looks good with an implied probability of 35.7%.
