Betfair Cross-Sport Multiple: AVB to add to Adkins woes

No light at the end of this tunnel for Southampton

Andrew Hughes thinks Tottenham will stroll to three points at St Mary's on Sunday and help land a cross-sport multiple in the process.

Betfair now gives you the facility to mix and match your multiples across a huge range of sports and markets with the easy-to-use betslip and so each weekend I've been putting together a cross-sport treble with the aim of showing the way to maximise your profits.

Bet 1: Back Tottenham to beat Southampton at 1.8
Tottenham have lost their last five Premier League visits to Southampton without scoring a goal. That record will come to an end on Sunday and possibly in style.

Southampton go into this game at the foot of the Premier League table, having conceded 24 goals in their first 8 games, and with their manager Nigel Adkins admitting that his players have been 'found out' at the top level.

He's young enough and talented enough to turn things around, but it will take time and it won't happen this weekend. Spurs are undefeated in five on the road and scored three at Old Trafford in their last Premier League away fixture. With Gareth Bale returning to torment his old club, Southampton could be in for a torrid afternoon. Back Spurs to prevail in the Match Odds market at 1.84/5

Bet 2: Back Lions to beat Sydney Sixers at 2.37
The final of the Champions League Twenty20 features the two best teams in the tournament, who are facing each other for the second time in ten days.

Sixers were the comfortable victors in their previous encounter, but I think the outcome will be different in Sunday's final. For one thing, the Sixers have since lost their star player, Shane Watson and their batting will be further weakened by the likely absence of captain Brad Haddin.

And though the Sixers bowlers have been in deadly form throughout the competition, the Lions attack of Dirk Nannes, Sohail Tanvir and Aaron Phangiso is not too far behind, certainly in terms of economy rate. The Lions are on a high after thrashing Delhi in their semi and will also know exactly how to approach this pitch at the Wanderers, their home ground. Back the Lions in the Match Odds market at 2.37n/a

Bet 3: Back Harlequins to beat London Irish at 1.56
The Heineken Cup break came just at the right time for Premiership champions Harlequins and two European victories will have restored their confidence after surprise league defeats to Exeter and Saracens.

Those domestic defeats allowed Northampton to climb to the top of the table and Quins will be determined to renew their Aviva Premiership challenge by beating London Irish at the Majedski Stadium on Sunday.

Despite an impressive win against Northampton, the Exiles remain at the wrong end of the table, kept off the bottom only by Sale and have a poor recent record against Quins, losing all three of their encounters last season. With Ugo Monye returning and replacement fly-half Ben Botica in such good form, the visitors are a solid bet at 1.564/7 in the Match Odds market.

Total Odds for this multiple: 6.65n/a Remember, multiple prices are based on our Fixed Odds product, so any winnings are exempt from commission.
