Take on the Professor: He’s on a roll and Stoke fan won’t stop him
Published:
The international break has only given The Professor more time to analyse all the facts and stats ahead of his latest clash.
And given the fact that our bearded calculator is in such a rich vein of form it’s looking pretty ominous for Stoke fan, @JohnShaw85.
Like his fellow brethren, John is confident about his team’s chances.
But as so many others have already found out, any sense of optimism can be quickly shattered when pitted against our betting genius.
The Prof has no time for club loyalties, only cold, hard factual data.
And as you can see here his approach is certainly reaping rewards…
As ever our contestant been given a £25 FREE BET to use as he wishes ahead of the big game.
And in terms of the competition’s format, it’s pretty simple.
For each correct pick, the entrant will be awarded the odds paid out on that selection.
For example, a correct 20/1 selection will reward 20 points. There will be no penalty for an incorrect selection.
Here’s what they’ve gone with…
The Prof thinks both sides will have to be content with a share of the spoils. But why?
– Stoke haven’t won against Swansea in their last nine league meetings but they do go into this clash unbeaten in four. Meanwhile, Garry Monk’s side are unbeaten at home this term so it’s easy to see the points being shared.
– The visitors have only scored more than one goal in one of their last 11 away games so a low-scoring draw is on the cards.
– Only Jamie Vardy has opened the scoring on more occasions than Andre Ayew this season. The Swans’ new talisman looks a solid pick to put his side ahead here.
