Sunderland v Southampton
Sunderland are in 19th place having won just 19% of their matches and averaging 0.9 goals per game host Southampton (9th) who are having a good season however this is mainly down to their defense which is the 4th best in the Premier League. Considering Sunderland’s position they will have to play open attacking football at home against teams like Southampton which will leave them open to the counter starting from Southampton’s impressive full backs. The bet that holds the most attraction is ‘Exactly 2 or 3 Goals To Be Scored In The Match’ at 1.95 (Bet365).
Arsenal v Fulham
Top of the table Arsenal welcome Fulham who have conceded 2.4 goals per away match this season, losing 70%, and lie just 1 point above the relegation zone. Oddsmakers have Arsenal winning 80% which is fair however with Giroud back in the fold Arsenal are great value to score a goal in both halves at 1.73 with Paddy Power.
Crystal Palace v Stoke
Crystal Palace at home and Stoke away are two of the most unpredictable betting propositions in betting yet there is one common theme between the two. Crystal Palace have the worst offense in the Premier League and are almost certainly on the way to the Championship however Stoke away have won just 10% and average less than a goal scored a game however Palace and Stoke have conceded 34 and 35 goals respectively so they will give each other chances however it is unlikely either team will capitalize on many opportunities and the market for exactly 2 or 3 goals to be scored at 1.95 (Bet365) which would have paid off in the last 2 meetings.
Manchester City v Cardiff City
Man City have won all their home league games this season scoring a massive 3.8 goals per game while only conceding 6 goals. Cardiff on the other hand have lost 60% of their away matches, have the second worst offense and the 4th worst defense so it really is simply a matter of how many goals City win by even though Cardiff won the last meeting at home they had only 30% possession and a 50% conversion rate. Aguero is back for City and expected to start and so the bet that holds the most interest for me is City to score 3 or more goals at 1.57 (Paddy Power).
Norwich v Hull
Norwich’s home games have the lowest total goals in the league and they continue to take a conservative approach against teams at their level while Hull away score on average 0.7 goals per game. The last 5 meetings between these two teams had under 2.5 goals and there is nothing in the stats, team motivations, strategy, news or injuries to dissuade me from backing under 2.5 goals at 1.67 (Ladbrokes).
West Ham v Newcastle
There has been a total of 1 goal scored in the last 3 meetings! West Ham and Newcastle have an average of 2.43 and 2.67 total goals respectively this season. Newcastle have failed to score in their last 3 league matches and the odds on West Ham To Win or Draw at 1.62 (Bet365) are too good to pass up given recent and H2H form.
Liverpool v Aston Villa
Liverpool have won 90% of their home league games this season however their defense away from home has shown a lot of weaknesses. Villa have scored in 4 of their last 5 away league games and are more than capable of scoring a goal however with Liverpools current form is hard to see past them taking the 3 points and the 3.0 on offer for Liverpool To Win & Both Teams to score with Coral is far too good to pass up.
Swansea v Tottenham
Tottenham have a very tight style this season and are more about results than style while Swansea’s possession game will keep them on the back foot and restrict eachothers goal scoring chances however Tottenham have won 70% of their away matches and Tottenham to Score the First Goal after minute 27 at 3.6 (Paddy Power) is very appealing.
Chelsea v Manchester United
The big game of the weekend has traditionally been a tight affair in recent times with a total of 2 goals in the last 3 games and with Mourinho’s choice to change to a very defensive formation after taking the lead and Rooney and Van Persie still injured it is very difficult to look past Chelsea winning at 1.83 (BetVictor) especially when they have won 5 on the bounce in all competitions and Utd are currently in terrible form. They odds are dropping fast on this one so if you are going to back this, the sooner the better.
West Brom v Everton
The big stat with Everton is that 80% of their away league games have been drawn at half time and there has only been 4 goals in 10 games. West Brom have averaged a total of 1 first half goals in their home league matches this season and it is likely that the first half of this match will be played extremely defensively by both teams. “Time of first goal after minute 26” at 2.1 (BetVictor) is a fantastic bet and is my NAP of the weekend.
Good Luck Folks.
