Weekend betting tips: Four bets that could make you a fortune

The coronavirus threatens to wreak havoc with some major sporting fixtures, but there is still plenty of sports to look forward to this weekend.

Manchester City and Aston Villa will contest the Carabao Cup final while the Premier League continues on full tilt.

There is also GAA action from the Allianz League and horse racing with the Cheltenham Festival on the horizon.

Here are our best bets:

Batcio 4pm Leopardstown Sunday

Batcio can gain a deserved success in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Rated Novice Steeplechase  at Leopardstown.

Ted Walsh's gelding looked to be running a big race before tipping up two out here at the Dublin Racing Festival last month. 

He runs off the same mark again in what looks like a less competitive affair and the eight-year-old should take some stopping.

Over 3.5 goals in Bournemouth v Chelsea 3pm Saturday 2/1

Two leaky defences promises a feast of goals at Dean Court.

The home side are in a relegation scrap and haven't had a clean sheet in the Premier League since last October.

They have goals in their team though and face a Chelsea side who were quite fortunate only to concede three to Bayern Munich at Stamford Bridge during the week.

We can only see lots of goals in this one and 2/1 about there being four or more looks decent value.

Favori Logique 3.35 Leopardstown Sunday

Favori Logique looks an intriguing runner in the TRM Equine Nutrition Handicap Hurdle.

Without shooting the lights out in maiden company, Ross O'Sullivan's horse has posted some decent efforts prior to making his handicap bow today.

He finished fifth in the aforementioned maiden hurdle at Navan albeit over twenty lengths behind the winner.

But the fourth horse Texard and the third placed Sizing Pottsie have also boosted the form since.

An opening mark of 109 look fair and he could very close in this open looking affair.

Donegal (-1) to beat Monaghan Sunday 2pm 10/11

Monaghan will take much confidence from their nine point win over Mayo in Clones last weekend.

Conor McCarthy starred for Seamus McEnaney's and with players like Conor McManus in the team they can never be discounted.

But Donegal will be hurting after their narrow loss to Dublin last weekend and so often formidable opposition in Ballybofey, they can get back on the winning track with some to spare.
