Can Wayne Rooney get one over his old club?

Wayne Rooney faces Man United, Toronto chase their first Super League victory, and Nathan Aspinall takes on Snakebite in the Premier League Darts – it’s the Spread Bets of the Day!

1. Derby v Man United – Wayne Rooney SMM, 12-16
Facing his old club for the first time since January 2018 – back when he was still a Toffee – Wayne Rooney will be hoping to help Derby County become the only non-Premier League side to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals with a win over Man United, at 7.45pm on BT Sport 1.

Rooney’s presence at the club has just about coincided with an uptick in form for the Rams – in 2020 they’ve managed 3 losses, 4 draws and 7 wins across the Championship and FA Cup, just one victory shy of the wins seen in the 1st half of the season.

As for the club captain himself, he has 4 goals in 14 appearances, with half of those coming from the spot. Will he be able to get one over United on Thursday? Spreadex are offering a Rooney SMM spread of 12-16.

2. Leeds Rhinos v Toronto Wolfpack – Total Points, 42-45
The Wolfpack are having a pretty miserable time of it in their inaugural Super League season. They’ve suffered 5 losses in 5 games, conceding 148 points during that period – that’s almost 30 points per game.

Meanwhile since losing 30-4 to Hull FC in on the first Sunday of the season, the Rhinos have gone on a 3-game winning streak, including a 22-8 victory over last season’s finalists Salford Red Devils and a 36-0 hammering of the Warrington Wolves.

Across their 4 fixtures – their round 2 trip to Huddersfield was delayed due to Storm Ciara – Leeds have an average 28.5 points per game. It might, then, be worth watching a Total Points spread of 42-45.

3. Nathan Aspinall v Peter Wright – Wright/Aspinall 10-3, 2-5
2019 UK Open champion – the 2020 tournament starts on Friday – Nathan Aspinall has already claimed a major scalp in this year’s Premier League Darts, beating Michael van Gerwen 7-5 in Cardiff.

Now the 28-year old takes on 2020 Masters and World Championship winner Peter Wright in Exeter. Interestingly Snakebite isn’t having the best competition, with 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses.

If you think he’ll slip up again on Thursday, then sell a Wright/Aspinall 10-3 Supremacy spread of 2-5, where the winner gets 3 points plus a further 3 points per leg won by.
