WhoScored Tipster: Bets to End the Season on a High

 

Man City vs QPR

A huge game at both ends of the table, but make no mistake, City will be winning this and they will be winning this by a few.

Sides have come to the Etihad all season to defend and have still been picked apart. They boast a record of seventeen wins and one draw from their eighteen home league games thus far and a goal difference of +42.

QPR could stay up even if they lose, but they must search for anything they can get. A point would guarantee them safety barring a miracle from Bolton, and therefore if City score one, the visitors will be forced to push on and try to respond.

Man City -2 on the Alternative Asian Handicap at 1.70 seems like a more than reasonable margin, especially given their penchant for goals at home and the situation the two sides find themselves in. 

Genoa vs Palermo

Fans of Italian football will all be well aware of how predictable end-of-season games can be, and this one should be no different.

Palermo are notionally the stronger side, yet Genoa have the home advantage, meaning that a draw would seem a fair enough result. When you add in the fact that Genoa need only a point to ensure their Serie A survival, it seems all the more obvious which way this game is heading.

The Rossoblu have been dire this season, with Rodrigo Palacio being the only real bright spot in a campaign that saw fans demand the players removed their shirts during a performance that they deemed ‘unworthy’.

There is so much market support for the draw that it is already in to 2.3 on Bet365, almost as low as the Catania vs Udinese game in which we see another likely stalemate.

Nancy vs St. Etienne

There are some hugely important and engrossing games in Ligue 1 this weekend and quite frankly, this isn't likely to be one of them.

The hosts have achieved a comfortable mid-table position despite being only seven points off relegation, and now they will just be relieved that their safety is mathematically secure.

St. Etienne have still got a chance of playing in Europe; they currently trail Rennes on goal difference for the final Europa League place but the Bretons will be playing title-chasing PSG, giving St. Etienne a chance to regain fifth with only one game remaining.

Curiously, St. Etienne are a bit of a one-man team in the shape of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The player came through the AC Milan youth system and stars at international level for ACN 2012 hosts Gabon. With the outright failure to perform of Les Verts' other strikers - Florent Sinama-Pongolle is the second best striker with just 4 goals - it is the contribution of wingers like Max Gradel that has supplemented the side’s goal tally and kept them in contention.

Nonetheless, barring Montpellier's reliance on Olivier Giroud, no other club has relied so heavily on a player for goals as this weekend's visitors do on Aubameyang and we will be backing him to continue this run on Sunday.

At 6.5 to open the scoring, he seems to represent more than enough value, with temptation to back him for 2 or more at 12.00.
