Asian Handicaps: best football bets of the weekend

Swansea v Hull City

3pm Saturday

Fast-finishing Swansea have won five of their last six matches to stay on the fringes of the Sky Bet Championship playoff picture and they can continue to fight for the top six by beating Hull.

Swansea have five points to find on Derby - the team they host on Wednesday - with three matches remaining and even if that is too tough a task expect Graham Potter's side give it their best shot.

Potter's side have been particularly impressive at home, winning seven of eight in the league at the Liberty in 2019, whereas Hull are on a run of seven away defeats in eight. The exception was a win at relegated Ipswich.

Swansea's slick football is difficult to defend against and the quality of Dan James should shine through for the Welsh hosts.

Recommendation
Swansea -0.75
1pt 47-50 bet365

Leeds United v Aston Villa

Sky Sports Football, midday Sunday

Aston Villa made it a perfect ten with a club-record tenth successive win when Dean Smith's side beat Millwall on Monday and they look overpriced for the trip to Elland Road.

There is every chance Sheffield United beat Ipswich to make this a virtual dead-rubber for Leeds, who like Villa, will have to think about making changes for the playoffs if a top-two spot disappears.

Much could depend on the team selection of both sides, but Villa have a deep squad and Smith has spoken of wanting to keep their winning run going heading into the playoffs.

Recommendation
Aston Villa +0.5
1pt 11-10 bet365
