Three football betting tips for 8 November: Mbeumo, corners and a half-time draw

Arthur Wandji, a Cameroonian sports betting expert and journalist, has selected a three-match accumulator featuring fixtures from the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A on 8 November.

Manchester United v Aston Villa – 8 November, 16:30 GMT

Betting option: Bryan Mbeumo to score (odds: 2.62)

Manchester United will host Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday, 8 November, looking to build on their remarkable 3-2 victory over Roma after recovering from a two-goal deficit.

Bryan Mbeumo has scored four goals in nine league appearances and remains a consistent attacking threat for the hosts. Manchester United have scored eight of their 10 Premier League goals this season after half-time, while each of their past three competitive victories has come at home.

The absences of Lisandro Martinez and Carlos Baleba leave Manchester United with a weakened squad, but Mbeumo’s attacking threat makes a goal bet on the Cameroon striker an attractive option.

Atletico Madrid v Barcelona – 8 November, 20:00 GMT

Betting option: More than 9.5 corners (odds: 1.62)

Atletico Madrid welcome Barcelona to the Metropolitano on Sunday in a meeting between the top two sides in the table. The teams are separated by two points before this round of fixtures.

Atletico Madrid average five corners per home match in La Liga, while Barcelona have scored 22 goals away from home this season and continue to create regular attacking opportunities.

Barcelona have also recorded at least six shots on target in each of their 11 league matches, underlining their ability to maintain pressure on opposing defences. With both sides committed to attacking football and the title race adding importance to the contest, a total of more than 9.5 corners appears achievable.

Inter v Como – 8 November, 17:00 GMT

Betting option: Draw at half-time (odds: 2.46)

Inter face Como at San Siro on Sunday, with both teams arriving after two emphatic European victories that highlighted their attacking strength.

Inter have won all five of their home Serie A matches this season, but they were level at half-time in four of those games. That pattern makes the half-time draw a selection worth considering despite their perfect home record.

Como are on a run of six successive victories in all competitions and collected 23 points from their first 10 league matches. Nico Paz has been particularly influential, contributing to three goals against Lens.

Inter’s tendency to increase their attacking output after the interval also supports the selection. They have scored 17 goals in the second half this season, suggesting the match could remain balanced before the break before the home side attempts to take control.

Odds may change.
