The next round of Premier League matches might be a couple of weeks away due to the international break but here are the odds and ratings for those games. Give them a look and let's get the discussion on predictions going right away! 

[neilovan]

Man City v Arsenal

Arsenal, in recent seasons (2016-2019) have just been atrocious against the top league teams. In 18 away games against the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, Man United and Tottenham they have won 0 out of 18 games. They have lost 14 times and drawn just 4, for 4 points out of a possible 72! So the question is really ...Can this new look Arsenal get anything at Man City? 

Man City and Liverpool look slightly vulnerable. City just look a little jaded, and Pep will not solve the problems by splurging on defensive players like a kid in a sweet store. Something in the system they are playing is not working.  Arsenal have a fairly good shot here against a miss-firing City side and at odds of 9.5 I think the away win and over 2.5 goals is a good bet.

 

Everton v Liverpool----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everton are off to a fantastic start to the season. The squad looks good, moral and desire are high, but Liverpool are looming on the horizon.

The strange thing is that Everton have done OK in this fixture, but the results look really strange. In 6 games, there have been four 0-0 results, and five draws. All of these 6 games have finished under 2.5 goals. Is the trend set to continue?

My feeling is that a nil-nil is not on the table here. Everton, with confidence, will feel they have a legitimate shot at the win. Liverpool need a bounce back win, but without really pressing the ball, they could be vulnerable. Everton have played out of the back well, and could keep the 100% record going.

The early part of the season is a dangerous one for betting. You simply don't know enough about teams, new players and how they will gel. My philosophy is to bet smaller and take higher bet odds. Everton to keep it going here!

HOME WIN & OVER 2.5 goals : Odds 5

 

Newcastle v  Man United--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Could this be Solksjaer's last game in charge of Man United? The club is in crises. Defensively they look very weak, and the character of most of the squad is in question.

Pogba talks a reasonable game, but he never brings it. If his dream is to play for Real Madrid, hopefully United can make it a reality. When last did Pogba have a really good game, that he influenced, set up goals and carried United to a win? The reality is that he is not capable of doing this ... week in week out he is consistently average! Solksjaer needs to grow a pair and bench Pogba, and get van der Beek in the side.

The defense is an absolute chaotic mess. Lindelof looks out of his league, Maguire struggling with the pressure, Bailly also not looking the part. Shaw simply does not understand, or has not been shown how to defend properly. Interesting to see if Telles starts immediately

Newcastle must be licking their chops, at the possiblity of taking this weak Man U team to pieces. Crystal Palace showed them how to do it by playing a deep lying defense, and Tottenham just ran rings around a suspect back line.  Callum Wilson could have a field day here, running these (lazy) defenders ragged.

HOME WIN & OVER 2.5 goals : Odds 7

Everton vs Liverpool

The Merseyside Derby is our first bit of Premier League action after the international break with Everton hosting Liverpool in a 12:30pm BST kick-off from Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon. The form of these two teams so far this season means we should be set for a cracking encounter and it's undoubtedly the first clash between these two in a while where the blue side of the city are sitting proudly at the top of the table before kick-off.

Everton have so far met the high pre-season expectations that many pundits and supporters piled on them by storming to the summit of the top flight of English football. Manager Carlo Ancelotti has won all 7 of his competitive games in charge of the club so far this season. The performances and goal scoring exploits of Dominic Calvert-Lewin have been a particular stand-out with the England striker scoring 6 goals in 4 league games so far. New signing James Rodriguez has also shone. There is even more reason to be optimistic for the Toffees though with Everton having only lost 1 of their last 8 home games against Liverpool.

Liverpool have started their title defence campaign in a solid manner. Jurgen Klopp's side might not have put in vintage performances on the pitch but 3 wins from their opening 4 league games has placed them in 5th position and only 3 points off the top spot. One concern was the 7-2 shock loss to Aston Villa before the international break. However, you only need to see that game to appreciate it was one of those rare games where unfortunate bounces and deflections played a huge part. As Klopp himself said, the Reds basically got all the bad stuff out in 90 minutes. Only 1 clean sheet in their 4 league games so far is also something Klopp will want to improve on. On the plus side, there's no worries over their ability to score goals with Mohamed Salah scoring 5 goals already and the team managing 19 goals in their 7 competitive matches so far.

Well, what a cracking game we have on the cards here. The current Premier League leaders taking on the reigning Premier League champions in a derby game. Once again, we have a game where it's tough to call as a first game back after an international break but I honestly don't think there's a lot separating these two teams. I could see either team sneaking a narrow win but it could be a moment of genius or a grave error. I'm going to have to sit on the fence though and back a draw.

Some cracking games on this round of fixtures.  It's a shame they come right after the international break as that always leaves you less sure where teams are and what players are fit or not.

 

Man U are 1.7 to beat Newcastle away.  You'd have to be crazy to want to take that price in my view!  We don't really need to go into what's wrong with Man U, but the short version is they are being priced up on reputation rather than how good they actually are.  Newcastle are no world beaters, but are a solid middle PL team, and should not be so big to win this one.  Newcastle +1 for me is probably my favourite bet in the PL so far this season.

 

I also think Southampton have a chance at Chelsea.  Chelsea throw in some real odd results, such as the 3-3 with west brom this season, and last season they lost at home to the likes of Bournemouth, West Ham, and Southampton themselves won this fixture last year (when they were still near the bottom of the league).  Chelsea's new signings don't seem to have fully gelled yet, and with most of them away these past two weeks, they won't have had much opportunity to put that right.  Saints have been strong away going back into last season, and can certainly go and give anyone a game.  Much less confidence in this than the Newcastle price, but laying chelsea at 1/2 is my pick on this one.

 

Aston Villa at Leicester could also be worth a look.  Villa have done nothing wrong in the league, while Leicester look like they will be inconsistent this year.  How you can go from a 5-2 away win at City to then lose 3-0 at home to West Ham is beyond me.  I certainly think Villa are a bit big at 4.2 so again Villa on a +1 is my thinking in this game.

[StevieDay1983]

Chelsea vs Southampton

The Premier League resumes this week with a 3pm BST kick-off on Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, you have to pay an extra £15 to watch it! That match is Chelsea versus Southampton at Stamford Bridge. It's been a mixed bag of results for both of these teams so far but can either team take the win here?

Chelsea spent big during the off-season and it's still hard to say whether those transfers are working out for the Blues. Frank Lampard has seen his team only lose 1 of their 6 matches across all competitions so far this season but on the league front they'll probably have wanted to take more than 7 points from their 4 league games so far. Big summer signing Timo Werner is still to get off the mark in league action and just 2 clean sheets in their 6 competitive games shows that defensive issues from last season haven't gone away yet.

Southampton are probably one of the toughest teams to call in the top flight of English football right now. The Saints lost both of their opening 2 league games this season but have bounced back with 2 victories after that. The 2-0 win over West Brom was a refreshing score-line because it was the first time in a long time that the scorers were someone other than Danny Ings and Che Adams with Moussa Djenepo and Oriol Romeu getting on the score sheet. The fact that Ralph Hasenhuttl's team have also kept back-to-back clean sheets in the league means it'll be interesting to see if those encouraging defensive displays continue after the international break.

It's always difficult to make calls after the international break. @thfc has made this valid point and that's particularly the case when we have two sides that haven't exactly been the most consistent so far this season. I feel there's no doubt that Chelsea have the superior quality in their squad but Southampton do make a habit of grinding out results when you least expect it. A player like Ings could have a field day if this Blues defence isn't tightened up. I still think this is a game the home side should be aiming to win.

Manchester City vs Arsenal

Well, this weekend certainly does offer up some tasty clashes with Manchester City versus Arsenal the undoubted highlight of the fixture schedule in the Premier League. Kick-off is set for 5:30pm BST on Saturday at the Etihad Stadium. It's been a poor start for the home side who seem unable to reach the heights of previous campaigns and they face an evolving visiting side that could pose arguably their biggest threat of the season so far.

Manchester City were being tipped by a lot of people, including myself, to bounce back with a vengeance this season after losing their title to Liverpool last season. Pep Guardiola's side started their campaign in a positive manner with a 3-1 win away to Wolves but then followed that result up with a shock 5-2 loss at home to Leicester and then a 1-1 draw away to Leeds. Those results have left the Citizens down in 14th place and already 8 points off the title pace. The positive news is that the big injury list City were suffering from is slowing getting shorter with the likes of Raheem Sterling, Aymeric Laporte, and Sergio Aguero all either having returned to training or imminently making a return.

Arsenal continue to improve under Mikel Arteta and the evidence is in not only the performances but the results. The Gunners are in 4th place having won 3 of their opening 4 league games. On top of this, the team secured the FA Community Shield and have also advanced to the EFL Cup Quarter-Finals. Questions do still remain over whether Arteta's side can perform consistently against the better sides with their solitary defeat this season coming in a 3-1 loss away to Liverpool. However, there's no denying that this Arsenal squad definitely has more resilience about it.

A fixture like this always has the potential to provide excitement and goals. The attacking talents on display are mouth-watering. The stats support this too with both teams scoring in 6 of their combined 7 league games this season. Both clubs have also scored an average of two goals per game this season. I can see this being action-packed but I do think with City's returning players that they'll have too much for Arsenal here.

De Bruyne out, Aguero out, and Sterling is probably not fully fit after missing the England games.

 

I don't think Arsenal have any key fitness concerns.  Arteta also knows City inside out having been with Guardiola before taking over at Arsenal.  All things considered, I don't like the Man City price, so I'd have to go with the away side to get a result in this one.

Agree on BTTS though!

Newcastle vs Manchester United

The final game heading our way on Saturday in the Premier League is the 8pm BST kick-off between Newcastle and Manchester United at St James' Park. It's not happened very often over recent years when the Tyneside club have entered this fixture in a superior league position to their rivals from Manchester. Still, here we are but will it help get them 3 points?

Newcastle are still defying the doomsayers with Steve Bruce guiding his team to solid performances and mid-table mediocrity. The Magpies are in 9th place after 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss. In fact, it's now just 1 defeat in their first 7 competitive matches for the season. The Toon Army have scored in 3 of their 4 league matches but have also managed to only keep 1 clean sheet with them scoring an average of 1.5 goals per game. If the club win this game then it would be their best start to a Premier League season since 2001. One issue if you rely on historical statistics is that Bruce has only ever managed to get 1 win against Manchester United in 24 attempts as a club manager. However, that single victory did come last season.

Manchester United fans will have felt that the international break went on forever after their humiliating 6-1 loss at home to Tottenham just before it. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is once again under fire but he'll be looking for his team to get a win and move them up from the dour 16th place position they find themselves in. The Red Devils have had huge issues at the back this season and with 11 goals conceded in their first 3 league matches, it's their worst defensive start to a season in 90 years and defeat here would be the first time they lose 3 of their first 4 league matches since 1986. That said, there is reason to be optimistic for United supporters. It's now 5 away league games won in a row with at least two goals scored in each of those victories.

Betting on Manchester United matches is a hazard at the best of times but it feels almost impossible for this one. Newcastle got the better of them last season and I just feel it's only a matter of time before Solskjaer is replaced. I genuinely don't know which way to call this one but feel United could somehow scrape a win and I hate backing that given the terrible odds. If they don't then there'll be calls for Solskjaer to go. If you want more value for money with a higher risk then it could be worth backing the draw.

This is what I love about these threads. Delving into the ins and outs. Kevin De Bruyne not being fit is a big blow but we'll see. I think it could depend on what sort of game Raheem Sterling has if he is involved.

Everton vs Liverpool

Everton is sitting on the top of the Premier League table as they have the perfect score of all four victories. Although they had a stern test at the very first round, the hosts celebrated against Tottenham Hotspur. Dominic Calvert-Lewin and the lads have been scoring three goals per match on average, and when they are playing at Goodison Park, the Toffees were netting at least four times per game. Besides that, Carlo Ancelotti’s side was perfect in the EFL Cup as well, as they eliminated three opponents so far. New signings blended into the team very quickly, and James Rodrigues became one of the instrumental members of the squad. The Colombian international already scored three goals, and he is more than motivated to get his career on the right track. This game is going to be the biggest challenge for the hosts so far, but Everton is full of confidence and ready for the first Merseyside derby of the season.

On the other hand, Liverpool suffered a humiliating 7:2 defeat away to Aston Villa before the international break. Although they had a perfect record in the build-up of that match, the visitors were outclassed in that game. Most of the players were on international duty, and there was little time to reset and adequately prepare for this game. The Reds have a lot of problems in the defense, and we had the chance to see them already in the season-opener against Leeds United at Anfield. With Alisson being injured, there is a lot of space for improvement in the backline, and Jurgen Klopp will need to work on them. Liverpool needs to show the character in this game, and undoubtedly, it will be an exciting clash.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Everton will undoubtedly search for the chance to grab all three points and remain on the top, while Liverpool is looking forward to bouncing back to the winning track. Both sides have equal chances of winning, so it won’t be surprising if the game ends in a draw.

Goals Market Prediction

Both sides have been very efficient so far in the season, and we had the chance to enjoy a lot of goals in their games. This clash shouldn’t be much different, and we expect to see goals in both nets.

I expect both teams to score at Goodison Park. Everton are in fantastic form, having scored 12 goals in the first 4 games. Calvert-Lewin is great, he will have a lot of motivation to continue scoring. The England striker could become the first Everton player to score in the first five games of the league. Liverpool, meanwhile, suffered a heavy defeat at Villa Park and fans are waiting for a reaction from Klopp's players. There must be goals and phases from both teams
EVERTON vs LIVERPOOL @@ Both team to score, odds 1.50

I expect both teams to score in Etihad. Manchester City have scored and conceded goals in each of their three games so far in the Premier League. Arsenal, meanwhile, have scored in all four of their games, keeping their home intact only once. This should be an interesting and effective derby with goals from both sides
MANCHESTER CITY vs ARSENAL @@ Both team to score, odds 1.60

Sheffield United vs Fulham

The bottom two face-off in the Premier League this Sunday when Sheffield United host Fulham in a 12pm BST kick-off at Bramall Lane. It could not have been much of a worse start to the season for these two teams ahead of this clash. Here is a big opportunity for both sides to pick up their first league win of the season but will that even happen or will they play out a bore draw?

Sheffield United had a stormer of a season last time around but it's the classic difficult second season that appears to have caused them trouble in these early stages. To be fair, the performances of the Blades haven't been that bad and they've just not been blessed with much luck. Chris Wilder's men have only managed to score 1 goal in their last 4 league games but they have also only lost by a single goal in 3 of those 4 matches. You know what you're getting with this United team. Dogged, determined, and hard-working. It's no surprise that less than 2.5 goals have been scored in 11 of their last 14 top flight matches.

Fulham continue to meet our very low expectations of them this season. Four straight defeats in the league doesn't make for very pleasant reading for Cottagers fans. The fact that they've failed to even score in 3 of those 4 matches this season raises further concern. Scott Parker has already been at odds with his chairman Shahid Khan. It just feels like this can only end one way already. The most disconcerting statistic for Fulham is that they have been behind for 280 of the 360 minutes of Premier League football that they've played this season.

Right, I think we can all agree that this game is Sheffield United's to lose. I don't want to sound harsh against Fulham but I don't think in their current state I would back them to get anything against anyone. The performance in the 1-0 loss away to Wolves was better but they are still some way off being able to compete with the teams they could be battling against to avoid relegation. I feel results haven't fairly reflected United's performances this season so I expect them to get a tight win.

Crystal Palace vs Brighton

The footballing world witnesses a number of derby matches this weekend such as the Glasgow Derby... the Milan Derby... the Merseyside Derby... and the... M23 Derby. Crystal Palace host Brighton at 2pm BST on Sunday in this rather bizarre rivalry that didn't even have any history until the 1970s but is now fierce. So much so that it's alleged Punters Lounge forum members @Mindfulness and @Tiffy meet up twice a year to honour this fixture with a bare-knuckled, naked, and no holds barred fist fight.

Crystal Palace had started their campaign with a couple of impressive league wins including 1-0 at home to Southampton and 3-1 away to Manchester United. However, back-to-back defeats to Everton and Chelsea have tempered rising expectations and excitement with the club now down in 12th position. The good news is that the Eagles have survived another transfer window without seeing star player Wilfried Zaha depart the club. There's no denying that Palace games are some of the most exciting in the top flight though with all three of their most recent league games witnessed over 2.5 goals scored.

Brighton are a side I have sung the praises of for a while under Graham Potter but there are still questions to be asked about the general quality of the players within the squad. The Seagulls are in 15th place with just 1 win from their first 4 league games. Perhaps more worrying is that you can turn that statistic to say it's 3 defeats from their first 4 league matches. In their defence, those three defeats have been against Chelsea, Everton, and Manchester United. The solitary win was a convincing 3-0 victory away to Newcastle. At least three goals have been scored in each of their four league games so far. The disconcerting fact is that it's already 10 goals conceded... and that includes keeping a clean sheet in one league game.

Derby matches are always tough to call and particularly so after an international break. I feel both of these sides have had generally tricky fixtures to start so overall they won't be too disheartened by their results. I'm not sure I can really separate these two sides. It could simply be a case of who turns up and puts in the better display on the day. There's very little between them in terms of quality and I'm not sure either side would begrudge a draw. As a side bet, you might want to consider Neal Maupay to score anytime given he's bagged a goal in each of his last 3 league appearances.

You left out the bit about what @Tiffy does with his Cuban cigars before, during and after this process. Needless to say he assured me it was all standard practice in the Brighton nightclubs.

I actually wouldn't read too much into Brighton's 3 league defeats thus far, for me performances have been good and I expect this to be a real tough game for Palace.

Palace have more firepower this season with the additions of Eze and Batshuayi but the defence has been a concern early doors with a lot of absent players. Apparently Tomkins and Cahill are nearing returns but unsure if they will make the starting lineup for this game, they better hurry up because Mamadou Sakho is just a massive liability now with countless blunders this calendar year.

LB Tyrick Mitchell has shown promise since being thrown in at the deep end but Palace fans should not expect him to play amazing every game as he is still very young and consistency is not a given at that age. If Lamptey plays for Brighton this weekend it should make for an interesting clash between the two players on that flank.

I think the odds have been set fairly in this match, I don't see any added value in either team priced at 2.80. I'm just gonna sit back and watch the game, hopefully I will not have steam comming out of my ears by the end of it.

[Neubs]

I like the "Outsider-Teams" today. But Chelsea Game is still No Bet for me. Both Teams are inconstant so far in the Season. So Chelsea can easy win 3-4 to 1 or Nil i think, but also possible that the Saints can Grab here something. So No Bet here.

But other 2 Games are still good. Newcastle with AHC+1 for me i think No More Words needed. Man U out of Form and looks like Solskjare are struggling big at the Moment. Newcastle for me also nothing Special but with solid Start in the Season.

Other Bet is Arsenal +1.25 here. Think they can hurt at the Moment definetly Man City - who are also struggling in Defensive. And with important offensive Players out it can be difficult.

Tottenham vs West Ham

An all-London affair is coming up at 4:30pm BST on Sunday when Tottenham host West Ham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. If a report card was given to both of these sides after their four league matches so far then it would probably read "satisfactory but can do better". Will we see either side do better here or will they end up coming away dropping points?

Tottenham currently sit in 4th place with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss from their league games so far. Jose Mourinho is starting to mould his team into a genuine title-challenging side on paper. Gareth Bale could be in line to start this game and with him set to line up alongside Son Heung-min and Harry Kane in a front three you begin to realise how dangerous this Spurs team could become as this season progresses. It's now 7 games undefeated for Tottenham in all competitions and they have scored 13 goals in their last 2 matches in all competitions. If West Ham fans wanted more bad news coming into this game then Kane has scored 6 goals in 6 appearances against the Hammers and Mourinho hasn't suffered defeat in any of his 14 meetings with David Moyes.

West Ham fans will feel a lot better right now than they did a few weeks ago. Back-to-back clean sheet wins against Wolves and Leicester have lifted the club up to 10th in the league table with the club having the chance to earn three consecutive clean sheets in the league for the first time since February 2014. Unfortunately, it's been 104 defeats in London derby matches and that's more losses suffered than any other team. If you want a cheeky anytime scorer bet then not only is Kane an option but Michail Antonio has scored 4 goals in 7 appearances against Tottenham and is on a run of 10 goals in 11 league games.

I'm excited to see what this new look Tottenham side looks like. For the record, I think the £11 million fee paid for centre back Joe Rodon is an absolute steal. That kid is going to be a Wales regular at international level for years to come and is almost certain to be a Premier League regular for the rest of his career. That new front line for Spurs is frightening though. Even if Bale is at 75% fit then he'll still add to that side. I can see them sealing a stereotypical business-like win for Mourinho here.

Leicester vs Aston Villa

The final game on a busy Sunday in the Premier League draws to a close with an intriguing encounter between two exciting teams when Leicester face Aston Villa at 7:15pm BST at the King Power Stadium. In a battle between two of the top three teams in the division which of these two sides will take the initiative and look to continue their positive start to the season?

Leicester come into this game having won 3 of their opening 4 league games helping to guide them to 3rd in the Premier League but have their fair share of injury worries ahead of this clash. Brendan Rodgers already knows that influential centre back Caglar Soyuncu is ruled out paving the way of £31.8 million signing Wesley Fofana to make his debut but there's also concerns over the fitness of Jamie Vardy and Jonny Evans. A win for the Foxes would help them win 4 of their first 5 top flight league games for the first time ever. Unfortunately, defensive issues still plague the side having conceded two or more goals in 6 of their last 8 league matches.

Aston Villa are a surprise package in the early stages of this season. Dean Smith's side have won all three of their league games so far and sit proudly in 2nd place in the table. A victory here would move them to within just 1 point of league leaders Everton. A fourth win in a row to start their season would be their best start to a campaign since 1930. The Villains haven't even won four Premier League games in a row since 2009. The club are currently on a 7-game unbeaten run and with Jack Grealish having been involved in 7 goals in 4 games then it's clear to see who the key player is right now.

In terms of head-to-head, Leicester have been dominant in this fixture over recent years with the club winning 4 and drawing 1 of the previous 5 meetings. Aston Villa have only managed 1 away Premier League win versus Leicester in 15 attempts. My concern here is the Leicester injury list. I think that could be the issue. Until we know who is missing it'll be hard to call so I'll go for a draw for now but that could change closer to kick-off. I'd advise you keep a check on the line-ups.

Both teams are in very good shape. I expect an interesting match, but Tottenham is closer to victory. Quality is on her side, no doubt about it. And I think the Spurs have two players who can make a difference - Kane and Sean
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs WEST HAM UNITED @@ TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR, odds 1.70

SHEFFIELD UNITED - FULHAM

Like a  value bettor i see something in this match that make me risk away win. Fulham has nice previous results the last years in Bramall Lane and this makes me happy. The blades has bad start in home with two defeats. But if you cant win the strongest Wolves then you can try win the newcomer Leeds. Leeds more better than Sheffield make away win. And i say. Where is the value price at Sheffield United. At  2.12 odds in 18th position of home table. Fulham is not better in away results but we show fight and defeat against Leeds 4-3 and one more difficult defeat 1-0 against Wolverhampton. Fulham this year looks more creative than previous year and is stronger on air from United and statistically making more shots per game. Odds is nice for value bet on Fulham and under this circumstances we have a good odd.

FULHAM to win (3.82)

 TOTTENHAM  - WEST HAM 

All punters against the Hammers today. For what reason. For the big name, for the Harry Cane (nice rhyme). Oh no i cant take it. I have other infos to take it to buy a value odd. Infos like west hams explosive counterattacks, nice previous results as the match is a London derby, a nice away fights (win at Leicester and defeat 2-1 in another London match against Arsenal. So all of you playTottenham today at 1.60 but i buy this excellent value under great conditions for fight. All chances are in your favor but I like to fight with strong odds and not with roasted chick peases.

 

West ham united to win (5.90)

Cover draw goal/goal (5.00) for money back.

Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton & Hove Albion +0.0 @1.748 seems to have good value to me

Impressive prediction!

Today i didn´t see both Away Teams not to Lose.

Burnley now on Bottom, but they are not a Team that they deserved to sit there. Think the Price here is more on that impressive First Half from WestBrom against Chelsea, but WestBrom are weak in Defensive and Burnley hard Nut to crack in Dfensive. So think we will see here both Teams with great Motivation but the Quality Lack in Defensive from WestBrom are the Chance here for Burnley.

Other Bet´s for me are the Both to Score in the Leeds-Wolves Game. Leeds with great Start in Season and with strong Performances, Wolves the other Side. Not there best Start and not so good for there Ambitions this Season. For sure Bielsa are very good Coach, but it will be now intressting to see how Leeds are doing after the International Break and with Wolves had the Cance to prepere 2 Weeks for this Game. So both Teams are offensive Teams and with Wolves also like to struggle, when they play against Teams of Same Level or Bottom Teams, i can see Leeds also to score today. Also i will try the same bet, that i have place on Burnley. I can´t see Wolves today lose, because they got the quality specially in offensive. It looks that Leeds are the same "Team" like Wolves. Better when they are Underdog. Now at Home against Wolves both not such a big Fav, but we will see how they will play.

Burnley AHC+0.25 @ 1.88 3/10

Burnley @ 3.25 1/10

Leeds-Wolves - Both2Score @ 1.80 2/10

Wolves AHC+0.25 @ 1.85 2/10

ΒURNLEY (3.16)

LEEDS (2.45)

Burnley more stronger team in the field from Brom until now but not a value bet at 3.16. Brom has too much weaknesses especially in aerial duels. In this piece Burnley win clearly but the biggest problem is Brom can`t play good defense from the wings. And today has big trouble in this area.Brom is very weak in Defense and has big problem because Burnley change excellent attacking set pieces.

For the other Match Wolves look stronger by Leeds but hosts has thw passion of the premier league right now. Fight all games strongly. Leeds look very hard at home like match against Manchester city. Leeds must be carefull to Wolves counterattacks because generally has problem to defense with the offside trap. Don`t have it.. I believe wolves medium-low strength at this chronical time is negative against Leeds passion. No Value bet here but we have fighting odd.
