The Eagles Punt

Welcome to the sixth edition of the new and improved weekly feature ‘The Eagles Punt’.

This week, we begin with what is always bad news for a gambling column and announce to the embarrassment of all six of us that we did terribly last week. We have written our lines and all promise to do much better!

Introductions

  • @cpfcpatriot – The Eagles Beak tipster
  • @Andy_Bloss – Andy, now of @FYPFanzine, formerly of the local Guardian
  • @HLTCO – Dan, the man behind the HLTCO blog
  • @RedNBlueArmy1 – Terrence, who runs the RedNBlueArmy fan site
  • @EagleGolfTips – Tony, who gives excellent golf tips on his Twitter page
  • @Oh__My__Word – Chris, frequent gambler and tipping extraordinaire

The Winning Bets

  • Andy took home a small profit of £17.50 on over 2.5 goals
  • Tony predicted Lukaku to score first for Everton to bring in £50.

Dan still leads the group by a distance of £116.10 while Blossy continues to prop up the table!

Preview

With two teams taking surprise victories last Sunday, as well as scoring a combined eight goals and conceding five, one would expect a high-scoring game at Selhurst Park. Frequent readers may remember predictions of this nature against Burnley a couple of weeks ago … and we all know how that ended.

But, this week, I foresee another high-scoring, close game. Neither defence has been excellent in recent games, and it will take the style of Yannick Bolasie and the guile of Jason Puncheon for Palace to keep up with the Leicester City strikers, especially former Seaweed Leonardo Ulloa. If I was to take a punt on the correct score, I think I would go with 4-2 to Palace, with goals for the attacking combination.
