Build Ups

Ipswich host Man City on Sunday so check out the Betfair Build Ups

Earlier this week Betfair launched its exciting new player-betting tool, Betfair Build Ups, and on Sunday we're using it to back former Man City striker Liam Delap to outscore new mega-contract man Erling Haaland at a very appealing price...

Build Ups is here!

Have you tried Build Ups on Betfair yet? This new form of betting gives you multiple different ways of betting on player outcomes.

Betfair punters can pair up players in a fixture to either combine on an outcome (Link Ups) or beat their rival (Match Ups).

And outcomes for solo players can be rolled into one bet too (Double Ups) with options for goals, shots on target, shots and cards.

And now to Super Sunday's game in the Premier League - the 16:30 televised Ipswich v Man City clash - where we have come up with a Match Ups wager that pits two strikers, and former teammates, against each other.

Match Ups - Delap to score more goals than Haaland

This is an intriguing Match Up, not least because of the major news that broke on Friday that Erling Haaland has signed a new nine and a half year contract, reportedly earning around £500k per week!

Pretty eye-watering numbers I think you'd agree, and while we can't promise to win you £500k on Sunday, we're going to make a damn good case as to why backing Ipswich striker Liam Delap is very much worth chancing at 15/2 to socre more goals than the City hitman in the Super Sunday clash.

Delap of course is a former Citizen himself, and that's the first reason why we think he has a chance of landing the odds in this Match Up. He'll be desperate to put on a show and prove to his form employers that they were wrong to let him go, especially as Man City don't have a recognised out-and-out striker as back-up to Haaland.

Bet there are other factors that give Delap a chance here. He's the Tractor Boys' top scorer this term, with eight goals in 19 starts not to be sniffed at playing for a club heavily fancied to be relegated. He's already scored against some big teams this season including Chelsea, Aston Villa and Tottenham, and he is of course his team's penalty taker.

Obviously Haaland is a world class striker, finishing as the Premier League leading goalscorer in each of the last two seasons, and his 16 goals this term - twice as many as Delap - have him in a very good place to win the Golden Boot once more.

But Haaland has only scored three goals in his last 10 matches away from home, and those came against Brighton, Crystal Palace and Leicester, so like his team in general, he's hardly been on top of his game away from the Etihad Stadium.

But we agree that with City being strong favourites to take all three points on Sunday it's only fair that Haaland is a strong 4/6 favourite in this Match Up.

However, given that they've only kept one clean sheet in their last 10 games on the road, and that Both Teams to Score lands quite frequently in Man City games, then we believe that Ipswich can get on the scoresheet on Sunday, and the more goals they score the more likely that Delap will find the back of the net at least once.

Will that be enough to outscore Haaland in this Betfair Match Up? At 15/2 we're willing to pay to find out.
