Football Bet of the Day: Start the week with a bang

Kevin Hatchard returns to the tiller, and he's sailing us to Norway first.

Molde to play out another thriller

Start v Molde
Monday 29 October, 18:00
As it turned out, Le Classique wasn't quite the classic that Tobias hoped for, and PSG's 2-0 win at Marseille left him halfway to heaven with his Over 3.5 Goals bet.
We'll kick off our week in Norway, because Start are up against Molde in the Eliteserien, and we're hoping to be entertained.
Start are hovering above the dropzone, but have been on a survival charge of late, winning four of their last five matches in the league. An increase in offensive output has underpinned that improvement - Start have scored at least twice in five of their last six games in league and cup. It's therefore no surprise that all bar one of those six matches has featured at least three goals.
Molde are trying to secure at least a top-three finish, and are also on strong form, having claimed 13 points from their last five games. You have to go back to June for the last time that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team failed to score in the league, and 14 of their last 19 league games have seen an Over 2.5 Goals bet land.
Four of the last five meetings between these teams have featured at least three goals, and I don't think this clash will buck that trend. I'll back Over 2.5 Goals at 1.77.

Southampton v Arsenal: Gunners set for a night of frustration

Southampton v Arsenal Wednesday, 19:45 Southampton  Claude Puel has done a decent job at Southampton this season, but his future at the club could rest on how well his team performs in their last four games of the season. The Saints can finish as high as eighth or as low as 16th. A bottom-half finish could be enough to seal the fate of the former Nice manager, with rumours suggesting that the club hierarchy are considering his future. It's true that Southampton's Premier League campaign has been rather underwhelming, with the side struggling to find any consistency this season, yet Puel did guide them to the EFL Cup final. He's inherited a weaker squad than previous managers enjoyed, which has lacked firepower for much of the season. Charlie Austin could return against Arsenal to help to solve that problem, while the defender Matt Targett is another player in contention. Virgil can Dijk remains out. Arsenal The Gunners gave themselves hope o...
