Friday football betting tipsBet of the day<\/strong><\/p>\n Sheffield United to beat Stoke City @ <\/strong>19\/10\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n It was not a happy Easter weekend for Championship rivals Stoke City and Sheffield United but the Blades are an eye-catching price to bounce back with victory in the Potteries.<\/p>\n Chris Wilder’s men will have to take their chances in the play-offs after Monday’s 2-1 defeat at Burnley, who have sealed automatic promotion to the Premier League alongside Leeds United.<\/p>\n Table-topping Leeds secured their top-two spot thanks to a 6-0 drubbing of Stoke at Elland Road, where the Potters found themselves 5-0 down at half-time.<\/p>\n Manager Mark Robins will demand a response from his side and Sheffield United boss Wilder is expected to rest some key players with the play-offs in mind.<\/p>\n However, the Blades have plenty of strength in depth \u2013 top scorer Tyrese Campbell and Crystal Palace loanee Jesurun Rak-Sakyi came off the bench at Turf Moor \u2013 and they look a big price to win at Stoke.<\/p>\n United have lost four of their last five but all four of those defeats were by a one-goal margin and only promoted Burnley have a better away record than the Blades this season. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n Special of the day<\/strong><\/p>\n Stuttgart vs Heidenheim – Over 4.5 goals @ <\/strong>3\/1<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Stuttgart were involved in an extraordinary Bundesliga match last weekend, drawing 4-4 at Union Berlin with all eight goals coming in the first half.<\/p>\n Five of their last seven league games rewarded backers of over 3.5 goals, including March’s 4-3 home defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, and over 4.5 goals is worth a bet on Friday.<\/p>\n Visitors Heidenheim are scrapping to avoid automatic relegation after a tough campaign in which they have conceded 60 goals in 30 matches.<\/p>\n They were thumped 4-0 at home by Bayern Munich last time out and this term’s away results include 4-2 defeats at Bayern and Borussia Dortmund, a 5-2 loss at Leverkusen, a 3-2 reverse at Borussia Monchengladbach and a 3-3 draw at Werder Bremen.\u00a0<\/p>\n Long shot of the day<\/strong><\/p>\n Atalanta vs Lecce – Atalanta to win 3-0 @ <\/strong>6\/1<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Inter Milan and Napoli are involved in a thrilling duel for the Serie A title but third-placed Atalanta also want to finish the season strongly.<\/p>\n Narrow defeats to Inter, Fiorentina and Lazio scuppered their hopes of claiming the Scudetto but they have bounced back this month with a 2-0 win over Bologna and a 1-0 victory at AC Milan.<\/p>\n Atalanta have kept clean sheets in seven of their last 10 league matches and the 3-0 correct score appeals when they host struggling Lecce.<\/p>\n The visitors kick off this round of fixtures just one point above the relegation zone and it is hard to see them getting anything from Friday’s trip to Bergamo.<\/p>\n Lecce have taken only three points from 20 games against teams in the top 12, scoring just six goals, and they lost 4-0 to Atalanta in August’s reverse fixture.<\/p>\n BET \u00a310 GET \u00a330 IN FREE BETS WITH TALKSPORT BET<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n talkSPORT BET Offer<\/p>\n Sign Up Offer: <\/strong>Bet \u00a310 and get \u00a330 in free bets – CLAIM HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n T&Cs: 18+ New customers only.
