Manchester United Expected to Top 80 Points on Way to Another Premier League Title
Sporting Index Release Season Points Markets for New Football Season, Plenty of Sellers of Arsenal's Points at 71
(firmenpresse) - LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 07/26/11 -- Manchester United will win the league with 81 points although Chelsea, under Andre Villas-Boas, will put up a good fight and finish just two points behind, according to leading firm Sporting Index.
In anticipation of the Premier League 2011/12 season, which begins on Saturday 13th August, Sporting Index have released their season points totals spreads, predicting how many points each team will score. They reckon Manchester City, with a predicted 75 points, will finish a comfortable third ahead of Arsenal (72 points), who will have to scrap it out with Kenny Dalglish's Liverpool (70 points) for the coveted fourth Champions League spot.
Interestingly, since the spread markets were opened, Sporting Index's football traders have taken many more requests from punters wanting to sell (bet lower) Arsenal's points than those buying (betting higher).
At the other end of the table, Brendan Rodgers' Swansea, promoted via the playoffs, are expected to trail with just 31 points, behind Norwich, expected to notch just one point more.
The spreads suggest that this season will slightly less closely fought as 2010/11, when all but one of the relegated sides were decided only during the final minutes of the season. West Ham finished bottom with 33 points and United won the league with 80 points.
"There's no surprises at the top of the list with Manchester United, Chelsea and Man City all expected to do well again this season, but even we were surprised at the number of people keen to sell Arsenal," comments Sporting Index spokesman Wayne Lincoln. "Our punters perhaps think that this could be the year that Arsenal 'do a Liverpool' and fall away from the Premier League's big guns. The Big Four could become a Big Three."
