Online Bookies prepare for Premier League 12 pointer
11th May, 2009
With only two games left in the premier league season, the end is near for the teams fighting premiership relegation.
Presently West Brom Albion, Newcastle United and Middlesbrough all sit in the ‘drop zone’. However Hull City are just three points in front of both Newcastle and Middlesbrough, and could find themselves in the bottom three should Newcastle gain three points, as Newcastle have the better goal difference.
Tonight Newcastle United will get the chance to launch a last minute effort to save their season and stay in the Premier League when they face Middlesbrough.
Bookies make the Magpies slight favourites to beat borough, although according to some analysts, it is more the home ground advantage that makes them favourites rather than current form.
Both teams desperately need a win, and bookies will be expecting plenty of bets on the outcome of this 12 pointer.
One Newcastle United fan reportedly stated, “Footy fans will be putting money on the game simply because of what it could mean if we [Newcastle United] win on Monday. It’s the difference between us [Newcastle United] staying up or not!”
