"Swansea have had no problem finding the net this season, but they’ve been letting them in at the other end just as readily..."
Andrew Hughes thinks Wigan can hold Swansea to a draw in Saturday's Premiership meeting and help land a cross-sport multiple in the process.
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: Back Swansea to draw with Wigan at 3.4
With tough games against Manchester City and Chelsea coming up next, it's important for Swansea side to pick up three points against another struggling team in Wigan who, like the home side, have gone five league games without a win.
Swansea have had no problem finding the net this season, but they've been letting them in at the other end just as readily, so Michael Laudrup may be torn between shoring up the defence and allowing his side to express themselves going forward.
And Wigan will be no pushovers. They managed a creditable draw with Everton recently and on paper their form is slightly better than Swansea, despite being four places lower in the league. Both teams have a reputation for good football but won't want to lose this and will cancel each other out. A draw is on the cards.
Bet 2: Back Mumbai to beat Chennai at 1.85
Indian teams have struggled badly in this year's Champions League. Kolkata are already out and both of these teams will be saying goodbye if Yorkshire can't beat Lions earlier on Saturday.
Choosing between these old rivals in what could turn out to be a dead fixture is a tricky business. The last time they met was in the IPL Elimination game, Chennai prevailing on that occasion, but conditions in South Africa are very different and batting is nowhere near as straightforward as on the Indian roads.
Chennai's Aussie bowlers Doug Bollinger and Ben Hilfenhaus have looked good so far, but in Mitchell Johnson and Lasith Malinga, Mumbai have more of a cutting edge. I'd also give them the advantage batting wise, particularly if Sachin turns up. Back the men in blue to win this one at 1.855/6
Bet 3: Back Racing Metro to beat Saracens at 3.75
Pool 1 of the Heineken Cup is a potentially tricky section that includes former winners Munster and last year's semi-finalists Edinburgh. So Saracens will be delighted to have got off to the best possible start, bulldozing the Scots at Murrayfield last week, to set the early pace.
But whilst we shouldn't read too much into the result two years ago when Racing Metro beat Saracens at Vicarage Road, I think the French team can spring another surprise. For a start, this game is being played in Brussels, so there will be no home advantage for the English side.
And though Saracens are a powerful team, they can be one-dimensional. Racing Metro's expensive squad is littered with internationals and boasts considerable flair. They also showed plenty of fight to come back twice against Munster in their opening Heineken Cup fixture last week. Back them to spring a surprise in Brussels at 3.7511/4
