Unfortunately, there’s no World Cup this year of course, so we must wait another three years to see if Gareth Southgate’s men can go even further, or whether Paul Pogba and his teammates can lift that coveted trophy again. The World Cup is excellent viewing, and of course, it provides lots of exciting betting markets as well, but just because it’s missing from our schedules this summer, doesn’t mean there aren’t some intriguing football betting events approaching in the next few months – here are three of the very best of them.
1. Premier League Champions
This has been one of the most exciting title races in Premier League history, and it’s far from over. Last year, Manchester City ran away with the title in record-breaking style, but while they are aspiring for that honour again, it certainly hasn’t been easy. Liverpool is neck and neck with them coming towards the home straight, so could it be a first-ever Premiership title for this most celebrated of clubs? Don’t discount Spurs either, they may not have spent any money in the summer, but they are within touching distance of the two clubs above them. The closeness of the Premier League title race means that there’s more value to be had than you can often find at this point in the season.
2. Champion’s League Winners
Football isn’t only exciting on the domestic front, as we are just about to reach the most exciting stages of the UEFA Champion’s League. Could this be the year that Manchester City finally makes their mark on the biggest stage of all, or will the Spanish giants of Barcelona or Real Madrid dominate once more? Unibet Football Betting has a wide range of Champion’s League markets, from individual matches to overall winners, and once again it seems wide open. Added intrigue arises from some of the biggest guns having been drawn to play against each other when the competition resumes in March, so could this be the year for an unexpected name to adorn the trophy?
3. Women’s World Cup
The men’s World Cup may now be a distant, if happy memory, but the summer of 2019 sees the Women’s World Cup hosted in France, and it could be the biggest and most spectacular yet. Women’s football is growing across the world, and as it’s being broadcast live by the BBC, it’s expected to attract large television audiences. One of the opening matches couldn’t be any more exciting, as England take on Scotland in a World Cup derby in Nice on June 9th. It’s sure to attract a lot of bets too, but if you want to place a stake on the overall winner of the tournament, then France, Germany, Japan and England head the betting.
The Women’s World Cup is set to brighten up the footballing summer, and before then we have an unusually unpredictable Champion’s League and Premier League to settle. This could be one of the most exciting football years of them all, so will your team come out on top and bring home one of the most coveted titles in the world of sport?
