Finally, the weekend is upon us again and fans can have some time to enjoy lots of football matches. While some fans enjoy the game, some use it as an avenue for making money by betting on them. Of course, they can’t win those bets all the time nor can they lose all the time, but they can use bet tips to be safe. However, Punters should note that there are some teams to avoid in your bet tickets this weekend.
There are some intriguing football matches this weekend and some teams are not to be trusted when placing bets. The 7 teams that should not be added to your weekend ticket are listed and analyzed below.
7) Barcelona
The Catalonian club will come up against the team that bundled them out of last season’s Copa Del Rey. The game is set to go down on the 24th of August, 2024 at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. This weekend you can take your eyes off them as this game is a tricky one.
The Basque club has top firepowers that can cut your ticket if you include Barcelona. Players like Barca target Nico Williams, Inaki Williams, and Oihan Sancet are dangerous to the depleted defense of Barcelona.
However, Barcelona remains the favourites for this one but it might be tricky including them in your bet slip this weekend.
6) Manchester United
This club has a history of cutting punters’ tickets. The Red Devils are to face the Seagulls of Brighton who completely trashed Everton 3-0 last weekend in the Premier League. Of course, Manchester United began their season on a good note after last weekend’s win over Fulham but they have won only once in their last six meetings with Brighton.
That is a very negative stat for the Red Devils. This game should not appear on the bet slip of any punter who wants to play safe this weekend. Manchester United is one of the 7 teams to avoid in your bet tickets this weekend.
5) Arsenal
Arsenal are set to face an uphill task quite early in the Premier League as they welcome Aston Villa. The Gunners lost both league games against Aston Villa last season with the recent loss blowing away their title dreams.
Surely, this game would be a game that Arsenal would be looking to avenge and emotions would be at play. It would be feisty and, a very tough game for both sides.
It would be a safe call to leave out Arsenal from your bet tickets this weekend.
4) Chelsea
Is there any Chelsea game that you can fully back them to win? Yeah, maybe some but not the one going down this weekend.
The Blues are to play Wolverhampton Wanderers this weekend in the Premier League. No need for the “bridge” to fall this time around as the game would be played at the Molineux Stadium. The Blues were beaten home and away by Wolves last season in the Premier League.
You would be putting yourself in serious “soup” if you tip the Blues to win on your bet slips this weekend.
3) Tottenham Hotspurs
Tottenham Hotspurs are not to be banked on for now till they find their feet this season. It seems punters might have to take a while before Spurs start rewarding them in their slips.
They started like a house on fire last season as they scored goals and won games. This season may be slightly different as they have already dropped points against the newly promoted side, Leicester City.
Their game this weekend is against “1-0” grinders, Everton. The Merseyside club would be looking to bounce back from an embarrassing home loss to Brighton last time out.
It is not safe picking the Spurs game as they are one of the 7 teams to avoid in your bet tickets this weekend.
2) Atletico Madrid
You will become your bet slips’ enemy if you decide to put Atletico Madrid in your ticket when you see who they are coming up against.
The Madrid-based side will face a tough task as they host last season’s shockers, Girona. This is not the Atletico game to bet on – quite a very risky one to stake on.
Girona proved last season that they could to a point, compete with the big guns in the Spanish Top-flight and they would be a force to reckon with this season.
If you have booked Atletico already, go and withdraw your money before the game starts.
1) Napoli
Finally, I bring to you the Kings of Cutting Tickets, SSC Napoli!!!. The Italian side destroyed so many punters’ dreams last season with their embarrassing displays.
When we all thought they would turn a new leaf, they were spanked 3-0 by Verona last weekend in their Serie A opener. As always, most punters put their money on Napoli to win or get a point at least but the club had other ideas.
They would have to fix all their problems under new coach Antonio Conte so punters can feel safe picking them in their tickets once again.
For now, it is a no-go area especially this weekend when they would welcome Champions League Boys, Bologna. Napoli is one of the 7 teams to avoid in your bet tickets this weekend.
