Alan Smith and Kevin Phillips Provide Weekend Picks for QuinnBet

QuinnBet has added some familiar names to its weekend football coverage, with former England internationals Alan Smith and Kevin Phillips providing correct score selections across the Premier League and Championship.

Smith is best remembered for his time at Arsenal and Leicester City, where his intelligent movement and penalty box instincts made him a regular source of goals. He also earned seven England caps. At QuinnBet, the former Arsenal striker is now picking the correct score for three Saturday afternoon Premier League matches. His predictions are available individually, and QuinnBet also prices up a separate multiple built around the outcomes of the three games.

Phillips performs a similar role for the Championship fixtures. The former Sunderland striker remains the only Englishman to win the European Golden Shoe after firing 30 Premier League goals for the Black Cats in the 1999/2000 season. He provides three correct score predictions for the Saturday 3pm Championship card, alongside a treble based on his selections.

It is a straightforward idea, but one that gives QuinnBet's Saturday football offering more personality than the usual list of enhanced prices and accumulators. Both Smith and Phillips are instantly recognisable to football fans, while splitting their selections between the Premier League and Championship also makes sense given their respective playing careers. Scoring is believing, after all.

QuinnBet does not appear to publicly describe either former player as a brand ambassador, so it would be premature to give them that title. What is clear, however, is that both are being used as named football pundits or contributors, with dedicated betting markets built around their weekend selections.

For bettors, the interesting part is that these are simply football tips. Alan Smith Correct Scores and Kevin Phillips Correct Scores appear as dedicated sections within QuinnBet's sportsbook, allowing customers to back the individual predictions or the associated multiple directly.

It gives QuinnBet another recognisable feature around the Saturday 3pm kick offs, and, perhaps more importantly, gives Smith and Phillips the unenviable job of trying to predict three correct scores every weekend.
