September have arrived, and with a wide range of exciting sporting action. You can bet sports everyday with many options, including NFL betting and NCAA football betting as the fall sports season gets underway. Also available daily is MLB betting, as baseball moves towards the playoffs with only a month left of regular season games.
Yet, as football gets underway in North America amind much fanfare, a different kind of football has begun in Europe, with the top flight leagues in Europe starting this past month. Some of the best soccer in the world is played in the English Premier League, and there are some very intruiging matchups this Saturday. Two teams that moved up to the high class of football for this season are Blackpool and Newcastle.
Blackpool look for their second win of the season, after it eluded them in their last match again Fulham. In the 87th minute, Dickson Etuhu notched the equalizer for the Cottagers, as they spoiled Blackpool’s run at three points. Still yet, the club has one win and one draw in three games, with a respectable four points in their return to the top flight.
They will welcome to the roster Wycombe winger Matt Phillips who was bought earlier in the week. In their three games, they have scored six goals, with Marlon Harewood leading the team with two scores.
Newcastle United has been equally impressive in their return to the Premiership, also earning one win and one draw in their first three games. They are back at home after a road draw against Wolverhampton. In their first home match, they dominated Aston Villa with a 6-0 trouncing in front of 43,000 excited fans. That followed an opening day loss to Manchester United, 3-0.
Andrew Carroll leads the squad with four goals, his latest being the tying goals against the Wanderers to 1-1 draw. In three league games this season, they have netted seven goals while only allowed four. Three points this weekend would vault them up the table with an impressive seven points, and two victories in their first four matches. The same can be said of Blackpool.
Prior to their Premier League draw, Newcastle played well in a Carling Cup match against Accrington Stanley, winning 3-2. Blackpool, meanwhile, suffered an embarrassing loss to Milton Keynes Dons, 4-3, in which they simply could not keep the score even, allowing a goal after each positive strike.
Betting lines: Both teams are playing in their fourth game of their return season to the Premiership, with both playing well and optimistic so far. In their first home game, Newcastle dominated, and there is no reason they cannot do the same against Blackpool. While both teams have the same record, Newcastle has been able to find the back of the net while playing strong defense. The home crowd will propel them to a 2-0 victory.
