Pool betting is a form of betting where all bets are placed into a pool. This sees all the money placed on the result of a particular event by numerous bettors and it is awarded to one or more winners, should the desired outcome be hit.
Let’s take a look at some of our expert pools picks for the weekend that sees a score draw.

Arsenal vs Newcastle United
Arsenal and Newcastle United have played out tight and fiesty affairs down the past two years, with there being a 0-0 draw and a win for Newcastle at St. James Park last year. Earlier in this campaign, the Magpies edged past Arsenal in a 1-0 home win as well, but things have gone very differently for both clubs since.
The Gunners have got themselves right amongst the title race and netted 11 goals in their past two Premier League games alone. Mikel Arteta's men will, however, struggle against Newcastle, with Arteta having a poor record against Newcastle since taking over the helm at the Emirates. In reality, another score draw could be in order
West Ham vs Brentford
Two teams continuing to struggle right now will battle it out in another London derby, as Brentford and West Ham United aim to capture some form in 2024.
The Bees have lost to Liverpool and Manchester City in recent games, which now means their only wins in 2024 have been away to Wolves and at home to Nottingham Forest. In fact, in the past two-and-a-half months, the club have even managed to lose to Sheffield United.
As for West Ham, their winless run extended to eight games since a stunning win away to Arsenal, as they lost away to Forest last weekend after suffering that stunning 6-0 loss at home to Arsenal. This is a game with two teams in bad form, and that could point to another score draw.
Blackburn Rovers vs Norwich City
Two teams in unexpected positions in the table clash here with Norwich City aiming to get themselves back into the playoff spots for the first time this season, just as Blackburn merely look towards the top 12.
Despite the woeful form of Blackburn, the club head into this game with a stunning record of 47 goals scored, which is only bettered by Norwich, Plymouth Argyle and Coventry City, in terms of those sitting outside of the playoff spots. Rovers have drawn their past two games as well, including a 2-2 draw away to Preston North End, while the reverse fixture between these two saw Blackburn beat Norwich at Carrow Road 3-1.
Norwich have scored 12 goals in their four games in February already, drawing with Queen Park Rangers 2-2 in one of those.
QPR vs Rotherham
Two teams in the relegation zone play out their biggest game of the season this weekend with Queens Park Rangers welcoming Rotherham United to Loftus Road. The R's are in a much better position ahead of this game, having moved to within one point of Millwall in 21st, while the millers are all but doomed with a gap of 14 points on the safe spots of the Championship.
Either way, when two teams in the relegation zone battle it out, the chances of a draw are always high.
