Surrey Scorchers vs Leicester Riders Preview

The Leicester Riders’ dominance in recent years is showing no signs of slowing down as they travel to face a Surrey Scorchers side desperate to maintain a playoff place. The Riders are on a seven-game winning streak making Surrey’s task almost insurmountable. However, anything can happen in sport and although the BBL odds favour the away side, you can be assured that the Surrey Scorchers will not gift their opponents the win in a high-intensity match.

Surrey Scorchers vs Leicester Riders Prediction

Unsurprisingly, the Riders are one of our best BBL betting tips to win the game as their record simply cannot be ignored. Ten wins in their eleven games is simply remarkable and the side are proving why they have been the dominant team in British Basketball over the last few years. Despite being away, we cannot see any way an inconsistent Scorchers side will beat their opponents and they may have already written this game off before it has even started in the knowledge that more important games will follow. This attitude is vital as highlighted in our BBL betting previews and is the reason why Leicester will march to victory.

Surrey Scorchers vs Leicester Riders Betting Tips

The fact that Leicester are the away side and at such short odds just goes to highlight the ease in which the Riders should walk this game. Although the outright win may not offer the greatest level of value, adding it to an accumulator perhaps with the London Lions game later today will and that in our eyes is a great way to go. The Riders have also won two of the last three head to head matches with the middle game remarkably ending in a draw. That occurred the last time the two met at the Surrey Sports Park but this time things will be different with Leicester eager to make it eight from eight. With their submarkets, 10Bet always offer plenty of opportunity for some great bets and an acca with them makes perfect sense. Sit back and watch a BBL masterclass from the Riders.

To get value from a Leicester whitewash, Betfair offer some of the best and latest BBL odds to garner value from in the handicap market. The last time the two met, the Riders hammered Surrey by a heavyweight 36 points and although on Surrey soil, it is unlikely to be such a margin, it is still going to be substantial making -11.5 a great opportunity and best bet on this game to get valuable and winnable odds. To add more weight to this, Leicester’s last win at the Surrey Sports Park came in April and was by 14 points which still equates to a winning bet with Betfair. The Riders are riding high and will not loosen their grip at the top for anyone. The Scorchers know there are more important and winnable games than this and will put up little resistance if the game goes away from them early doors.
