"Brugge will want to impress against a top European team and they are capable of holding a reserve Dortmund team to a mutually acceptable draw."
Andrew Hughes thinks that Saturday's friendly in Bruges will end in stalemate and help land another cross-sport multiple
Betfair now gives you the facility to mix and match your multiples across a huge range of sports and markets with the easy-to-use betslip and so each weekend I've been putting together a cross-sport treble with the aim of showing the way to maximise your profits.
Bet 1: Club Brugge to draw with Borussia Dortmund at 3.5
There should be a big crowd for the Brugse Metten, the traditional pre-season friendly match in which Club Brugge take on an invited foreign team. The home side have won the last five of these, but the last time they met someone from the top tier of European football, Porto in 2005, they lost.
Given that this year's visitors are Bundesliga Champions Borussia Dortmund, if this were a competitive fixture, you'd expect Brugge to struggle. But friendlies are much harder to predict. Both sides are at an early stage of their pre-season build-ups, manager Georges Leekens has been candid about the lack of match fitness in the Brugge Squad and Dortmund will not be bringing any of their Euro 2012 players.
Brugge will want to impress against a top European team and they are capable of holding a reserve Dortmund team to a mutually acceptable draw.
Bet 2: New Zealand to beat West Indies at 3.25
The West Indies are improving steadily, particularly at home, where they have followed up a useful series draw with Australian by dominating a weakened New Zealand team. Darren Sammy's men won both the Twenty20 games and took the first two one day internationals fairly comfortably.
But though on paper they have the edge over an inexperienced New Zealand outfit, a familiar fragility was on display last time. Chasing a modest 249 to clinch the five game series, their talisman Chris Gayle failed and the rest of the tea followed, giving the beleaguered tourists a moral boost.
With Brendon McCullum set to return for New Zealand and the tourists notably sharper in the field than the home side, I think they are a good bet to level the series at 3.252/1
Bet 3: Wigan Warriors to beat Leeds Rhinos at 1.35
Saturday's Challenge Cup semi-final sees reigning Super League Champions Leeds Rhinos taking on Wigan Warriors, the side that beat them in last year's final. Leeds were struggling until recently but a string of wins has lifted them up the table and given them some much needed confidence.
But they will have their work cut out to stop Wigan, who have already done the double over them this season, including a 50-8 spanking on their last meeting. The Warriors did slip up recently against Bradford, but that looks as though it was just a hiccup and it should also be noted that Leeds' run of victories has come against some of Super League's poorer sides. Wigan will be strengthened by the return of four players who sat out the thrashing of Wakefield and once again they should prove too strong for the Rhinos.
Total Odds for this multiple: 15.3614/1 Remember, multiple prices are based on our Fixed Odds product, so any winnings are exempt from commission.
