The betting company is offering odds of 6/1 on Erling Haaland to break Jamie Vardy’s record of scoring in 11 consecutive EPL matches after he scored in each of the previous six games. The Norwegian striker is also odds on at 1/3 to score against Southampton in the coming round of fixtures – while priced at 4/1 to score a hattrick.
Furthermore, Manchester City is now at 7/1 with bet365 to remain unbeaten throughout the remainder of the season, equalling Arsenal’s feat of going undefeated – which they achieved in the 2003/2004 season.
Bet365’s Steve Freeth said: “I don’t know what’s more incredible, Haaland failing to breach a defence that conceded 9 in one match this season or that the Norwegian used to watch Vardy for tips on getting in behind the centre backs.
“How much he picked up from Leicester’s No.9 is up for debate, what isn’t is that he’s an absolute beast of a centre-forward who could smash all sorts of records in his first season in the English top flight.”
Meanwhile, bet365 believes that Liverpool has more of a chance of losing its up-and-coming two games against Arsenal and Manchester City than they do of winning them. Liverpool is 7/1 to beat both teams, while Manchester City is priced at 9/2 to lose both.
Freeth added: “Liverpool have smashed a low-on-confidence Bournemouth side and needed an injury-time winner to beat Newcastle when recording their only two Premier League wins this season, and while a midweek European victory over Rangers would’ve given them a lift, they’re facing a huge step up in class in the shape of Arsenal and Manchester City.”
