Konaté 3/1, Lucca's 17/2 Debut Header & a £1k Counta Winner: February Fires on All Fronts
Liverpool vs Man City produced one of the Premier League's most dramatic finishes in years, Lorenzo Lucca headed home on his Nottingham Forest debut four minutes after coming off the bench, and Counta turned £680 into £1,068 on a Wednesday night in Brazil.
The Anfield Showdown, Liverpool 1-2 Man City
The biggest fixture of the season delivered everything it promised and more. Liverpool hosted Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday afternoon in a game that swung three times in the final 16 minutes.
City dominated the first half without ever truly testing Alisson, with Antoine Semenyo and Omar Marmoush both seeing opportunities go begging. The game looked destined for a goalless stalemate until Dominik Szoboszlai unleashed an unstoppable free kick past Donnarumma in the 74th minute to send Anfield into raptures. Liverpool's lead lasted just ten minutes. Erling Haaland cushioned a header into the path of Bernardo Silva, who poked past Alisson to make it 1-1. Then, in the 90th plus 3rd minute, Alisson brought down Matheus Nunes and Haaland converted from the spot to seal City's first win at Anfield in front of a crowd since 2003.
Then came the chaos. Rayan Cherki rolled the ball in from his own half with Alisson stranded upfield, but Szoboszlai hauled back Haaland chasing the ball, resulting in a straight red card and the goal being chalked off after a VAR review. Nine minutes of pure chaos that could define the title race.
Our analysis found value before a ball was even kicked.
Ibrahima Konaté Over 1.5 Times To Be Fouled @ 3/1
Konaté's physical presence made him a target throughout, and our Pre Match Football selection landed comfortably. At 3/1, this was the kind of value that separates data driven analysis from guesswork. Won.
Spurs vs Man City, Pre Match Treble
A week earlier, Tottenham hosted Manchester City in a match that ended 2-2 after Spurs fought back from two goals down, with Dominic Solanke scoring a sensational scorpion kick to level the scores. Our Pre Match analysis had already locked in value before half time.
Bet Builder: Semenyo 2+ SOT & Man City Over 0.5 1H Shots on Target @ 3.60
Antoine Semenyo, who scored City's second goal in the 44th minute, hit both shots on target before the break. Man City had three first half shots on target overall. Both legs of the Bet Builder landed by half time, returning £36 from a £10 stake. Won.
Xavi Simons Over 2.5 Player Shots @ 11/4
Simons was busy throughout for Spurs, registering three shots by half time. At 11/4, another selection that landed early and comfortably. Won.
Saturday Selections, Three Leagues, Three Winners
Saturday February 7th saw a full Premier League programme, and Pre Match Football found value across the card.
Newcastle vs Brentford / Fulham vs Everton / Arsenal vs Sunderland Multi Match Acca
Newcastle vs Brentford: Over 0.0 Home Team Total Cards at 1/3, virtually guaranteed to land. Fulham vs Everton: Draw or Everton at 7/10, with Everton winning 2-1 at Craven Cottage. Arsenal vs Sunderland: Over 1.5,2.0 Goal Line at 1.350, with Arsenal cruising to a 3-0 victory. All three legs landed comfortably. Won.
Newcastle went on to lose 2-3 at home to Brentford in a result that further dented Eddie Howe's side's European ambitions, while Everton's away win at Fulham continued their impressive mid season form.
Crysencio Summerville Over 1.5 SOT @ 10/3
At Turf Moor, West Ham won 2-0 against Burnley in a vital relegation battle. Summerville hit two shots on target by the 60th minute, landing our selection with half an hour to spare. West Ham's victory moved them six points clear of Burnley at the bottom, providing a much needed lifeline for Julen Lopetegui's side. Won.
Leeds 3-1 Nottm Forest, Lucca's Debut Double
Friday night football at Elland Road delivered drama under the floodlights as Leeds put three past Nottingham Forest in a crucial relegation six pointer. Jayden Bogle, Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored for the hosts, who opened up a nine point cushion above the bottom three.
But the story of the night from our perspective was Lorenzo Lucca. The 6ft 5in Italian striker, a January loan signing from Napoli, came off the bench in the 68th minute for his Premier League debut. Eighteen minutes later, he powered home a header from Omari Hutchinson's cross to score Forest's consolation.
Lorenzo Lucca Score With a Header @ 17/2
A debut goal, with a header, at 17/2. He was only on the pitch for 18 minutes before finding the net. This was the kind of niche market that Pre Match Football excels in, identifying specific player tendencies and matching them to the right bet type. Won.
Lorenzo Lucca Player To Score or Assist @ 13/2
A separate selection on Lucca to score or provide an assist also landed at 13/2. Two winning bets from one substitution. Won.
Counta AI, £1,068 Flamengo Winner
The new Brazilian Serie A season kicked off on February 4th, and Counta was ready.
Flamengo hosted Internacional at the Maracanã in the second round of the Brasileirão. The reigning champions had endured a poor start to 2026, but this was the kind of fixture where goals in the first half felt inevitable. Lucas Paquetá, back at Flamengo after leaving West Ham, was involved in the build up before Rafael Borré capitalised on a defensive error to open the scoring for Internacional before the break.
CR Flamengo vs SC Internacional Over 0.5 First Half Goals @ 4/7
£680 staked, £1,068.57 returned. Counta identified the value and the signal landed inside 45 minutes. De Arrascaeta later equalised for Flamengo in the second half, but by then, the job was already done. Won.
Counta AI, Gueye 13/2 Booking and In Play Cards Acca
Idrissa Gueye Player To Be Booked @ 13/2 (Lecce vs Udinese)
Also on the 4th, Counta picked out Idrissa Gueye to be booked in Lecce vs Udinese at 13/2. The former Everton and PSG midfielder came on as a substitute and picked up a yellow card in the 91st minute. £10 staked, £75 returned. The "Sub On, Play On" tag makes this one even sweeter, as the bet remained live despite Gueye starting on the bench. Won.
In Play Cards Acca: Platense, Sarmiento, Valencia vs Real Madrid
Three separate in play card selections combined into an accumulator: Platense vs Independiente Over 3.5 Cards at 10/11, Sarmiento vs Atlético Tucumán Over 9.5 Cards at 1/1, and Valencia vs Real Madrid Over 1.5 Cards at 8/11. All three landed, with ten cards shown in the Argentine fixture and four cards in Argentina's Platense match. £6 staked, £39.57 returned. Won.
