THE big winners on the final day of the Premier League were Chelsea, Man Utd, Spurs and Aston Villa as a day that promised much drama never really materialised.
As expected, Chelsea and United secured the remaining Champions League places which left the door open for Spurs to nick in front of Wolves for a place in the Europa League.
Villa went in to the final round of fixtures in pole position to retain their Premier League place and a 1-1 draw at West Ham was enough to cement that position.
And so all that remains to be decided in England is where the FA Cup is destined and which of the four teams vying for promotion to from the Championship will make their return to the top flight. Swansea boosted their chances with a 1-0 win over Brentford in the first leg of their Play-Off and on Monday it’s their rivals Cardiff City who will be in the spotlight as they host Fulham in the other tie.
Eight points separated the two sides in the final standings but as Swansea proved, anything can happen in these matches and often it’s the team hitting form at the right time that prevails. The bookies make the Bluebirds slight favourites at 17/10 to win with Fulham at 7/4.
Elswhere in Europe there’s a full round of fixtures in Italy’s Serie B and bets from the second tier in Norway feature in this week’s Gambla Podcast with Greg Browning and David Weatherston.
