Sunssport's Weekend Wager uses in -depth statistics and detailed analysis to find the best value bets this weekend.

There is an “egg cell” selection of games to watch over the Easter holidays and different points have caught our attention.

Sunssport's own Will Pugh was accompanied by Voetbal Omroep Kweku Afari and Betfair bets expert Sam Rosbottom to discuss this weekend's tempting selections.

The Panel discusses the journey from Wolves to Manchester United, Aston Villa opposite Newcastle and away from the Premier League, look at the World Snooker Championship and Irish Grand National.

Man Utd vs Wolves, Sunday 2 p.m.

Kweku: Wolves to win 5/2

“Apart from Man Utd is terrible, the statistics back -up of a wolves victory.

“United has lost 14 Prem matches this season, which is the same as their total of last season and the last time she was lost more league games in the 1989-90 season where they lost 16 games.

“Wolves are in shape and have won their last four games. That is their best run in the top flight since January 1972.

“United is only playing for Europa League football this year. So I think I'm in a winner here.”

Will: More than 4.5 goals 11/2

“Looking at the Omens, United has won all four of their home League games that are played on Easter Sunday with a total score of 9-1 and this is Wolves first of all played on Easter Sunday. Totally inexperienced, they are normally at home on their eggs.

“Wolves have scored nine goals in their last four games and have just not protruding in their last 11. They have not been blank against Arsenal since January 25.

“Since the first match of Ruben Amorim, he has lost more league matches with three or more goals than in 167 games at Sporting.”

Sam: Wolves to first score 7/5

“Of course a big night for them in the Europa League and I think they will probably have a hangover.

“I think the value is in supporting wolves to score the first goal in the game. If we look at the statistics in the last nine Prem games of United at Old Trafford, they only scored the first goal on one occasion, what a shame is, right?

“Easter Sunday is crucified.”

Aston Villa vs Newcastle, Saturday 5:30 PM

Kweku: Aston Villa to win and both teams to score 3/1

“In the last 37, Aston Villa kept only six clean sheets in home.

“And since losing their first home game of this season against Arsenal, Villa is unbeaten in Villa Park in the competition and won eight, which pulls seven.

“If you put this bet on midweek, you would have won some money. Device on this bet on the weekend, you win some money.”

Will: Rashford to score or help 5/4

“The statistics show that he has gradually been better. In the Prem this season, Marcus Rashford has more touches, shots, creates more opportunities and tries more dribbles per 90 minutes for Villa than at United.

“I like that this weekend will appear again and he will actually convert it into a goal contribution.”

Sam: Murphy to score or help 13/5

“Newcastle is an incredible form of form. I would not want to come back to them. They have won their last six games in all games.

“Jacob Murphy to score or to help on 13/5, this is ridiculous value for me.

“He had a hand in 13 goals in his last 17 from the first performances for Newcastle, scored four and nine assists. Incredible.”

World Snooker Championship, starts on Saturday

Sam: “Grand prize for Ronnie O'Sullivan. But I like to be John Higgins.

“He disabled the top 16 in the ranking, but he bounced back with a victory in the Tour Championship. 12/1 can be a nice bet.”

Irish Grand National, Monday 5 pm

Sam: “We have seen Willie Mullin's history by becoming the only trainer ever to win the English Grand National and the Scottish in Back-to-Back Year.

“Everyone says he will add the Irish and it would be no surprise. High Class Hero his best shout.

“The favorite, Haiti -Couleurs, won the National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. Got a lot of endurance.

“A brilliant season for now is the hour, a victory here would really exceed that for Gavin Cromwell.

“It is interesting that this horse cruised at the Cheltenham festival, but the latter fell. Stamina will not be a problem, only needs to be exercised.

“And then something else at a little bigger price that stands out for me. Better days for the coming days for Gordon Elliott can be a soup of any road.”
