The Eagles Punt

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

This week, we have good news with four of the six competitors coming away with winners while two of the six scoring a clean sweep of all three bets.

Introductions

• @cpfcpatriot – TheEaglesBeak 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 RedNBlueArmy1 fan site.
• @EagleGolfTips – Tony, who gives excellent golf tips on his Twitter page.

The Winning Bets

• Dwight Gayle to score anytime provided £47.50 to the coffers of myself, Terence and Tony
• Dwight Gayle to score first gave £130 to Dan
• Palace to draw or win was a profit of £21 to myself
• Over 2.5 goals in the Newcatsle/Palace game also gave £22.50 to Dan
• Both myself and Dan also picked up clean sweeps with their accumulators providing with £52.40 and £130 wins respectively

This puts Dan as the new leader by a £116.10 distance.

Preview

This week, the Eagles invite Burnley into ‘fortress‘ Selhurst (we’ll ignore two of the last three home games) for what I expect to be a goal-scoring feast like the last time the two teams faced each other. Neither defence is that great and although we know ours can be better, it will again need to adjust to at least two positional changes.

I expect Gayle to continue his goalscoring form with the three wingers combining throughout the 90 minutes and hopefully big Scott Dann to get on the end of a set piece as well. Ings will be a big threat and if he gets a chance, it is more than likely he will take it. I am going out on a limb with a 4-2 prediction and Gayle scoring the first.
