Betting guru Victor Chandler goes through this week’s best bets for West Ham and Orient
Leyton ORIENT have a big day on Sunday when Arsenal visit Brisbane Road in the FA Cup.
I was going to write that it was a foregone conclusion that Arsenal would win, but the more I think about it the more I feel that the O’s might have a squeak in this one.
They are in tremendous form, are unbeaten in 11 games, and they will not be short on confidence.
They are 9/1 to win and 9/2 for the draw and with Arsenal playing an understrength squad we could see an upset.
I can see them scoring, and it is 6/4 that they score exactly one goal and 6/1 that they score exactly two. Both these bets look good value.
Optimists can back Orient at 1000/1 to lift the Cup, so surely that is worth a quid.
? WEST HAM are also playing in the FA Cup on Monday. They entertain Burnley and I certainly would not want to back the Hammers.
Burnley are a useful outfit and at 3/1 they look the better bet.
I’m not sure that Avram Grant wants another cup run. He’s got his hands full in the league.
? Bet of the week is Brighton to beat Stoke City on Saturday at 9/2. Get on!
