Harry Redknapp is the 1/1 favourite to be the next Chelsea boss, but it has been Marco van Basten that they have been backing today, trimmed from 4/1 to 5/2.

You Bet Guardiola To Pep Up His Cv With Chelsea Job

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The gamble on Harry Redknapp to be the next Chelsea manager has lost momentum somewhat, opening the door once again for Guus Hiddink. Redknapp is the favourite for the Chelsea gig at 6/4, but Hiddink has been backed in to 2/1 from 9/2 yesterday following an early morning gamble on the Turkey boss. Pep Guardiola has been well backed also, in from 7/1 to 5/2 since yesterday. Marco van Basten, however, has gone the other way, drifting from 5/2 second favourite to 4/1.

“The real money in the last 24 hours has been for Hiddink and Guardiola. Where the latter is concerned, it appears our punters think Guardiola would like to Pep up his CV with a new challenge following all his success at Barcelona,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Next Chelsea Manager:

6/4 Harry Redknapp; 2/1 Guus Hiddink; 5/2 Pep Guardiola; 4/1 Marco van Basten; 8/1 Andre Vilas-Boas; 10/1 Jose Mourinho; 16/1 Mark Hughes; 20/1 Frank Rijkaard; 25/1 BAR

William Hill cannot separate Stevenage and Torquay as they go head to head for a spot in League One, with both sides offered at 7/4 for victory at Old Trafford. The draw is 2/1. Torquay have kept a clean sheet in seven of their last nine games and Hills are offering 8/5 that they do so during Saturday’s game. Torquay’s Chris Zebroski is the 6/1 favourite to score first, while Stevenage’s Craig Reid and Byron Harrison are both 13/2 to do likewise. Stevenage are 4/5 to lift the trophy, while Torquay are 10/11.

“Just one point separated these two sides at the end of this season and the betting suggests that this game will be nip and tuck all the way,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Huddersfield are the slight 6/4 favourites to defeat 19/10 Peterborough on Sunday, while Swansea just shade the betting for Monday’s Championship match at 17/10 against 9/5 Reading.

Hills are 11/5 that the Stevenage vs Torquay game is the highest scoring game of the three Play-Off matches. Hills offer 13/8 that one of the three games goes to penalties and 3/1 that all three sides promoted via the Play-Offs avoid relegation next season.
