EPL Round 37
It’s bitter sweet when the season winds down…well unless you’re a QPR or Burnley fan sick of seeing your favorite club get drummed by the big boys in the Premiership. As he’s done every week this season James Kempton (follow him on twitter @UKBettingPro) is back to drop knowledge before figuring out the weekend’s best bets.
Southampton v Aston Villa
Southampton -0.75 and 2.25 goals
On current form this line looks set a quarter of a goal too high so from a risk/reward perspective you should only consider bets that favour the away team.
Burnley v Stoke City
Pk and 2.25 goals
Burnley are already relegated ahead of next years campaign whilst Stoke look focused on providing coach Mark Hughes with a strong end to this season. The trends suggest a low scoring game but these meaningless games often explode into goal fests wither neither side having anything to lose.
QPR v Newcastle United
Newcastle -0.25 and 2.5 goals
Given the way the other fixtures pan out a draw could be a great result for Newcastle. In view of that I want the draw on my side here so I love the home side to at least avoid defeat.
Sunderland v Leicester City
Pk and 2.25 goals
I don’t believe in collusion in the ranks of the EPL but a draw could strongly favour both sides. I honestly haven’t got a clue in this one so I’m going to stay well clear and advise you do the same!
Tottenham Hotspur v Hull City
Tottenham -0.75 and 2.5 goals
Straight up bets may be the way forward in the match market and I do like a bit of the overs on the goal markets. Hull will throw everything (including the kitchen sink) at Tottenham especially if they fall behind. Hull straight up certainly appeals in their desperate state!
West Ham United v Everton
Pk and 2.5 goals
Two sides with nothing to play for meet in a meaningless game between two inconsistent teams. This game should have a betting warning and I wouldn’t touch this with my worst enemies money!
Liverpool v Crystal Palace
Liverpool -1.25 and 2.75 goals
Gerard to score a penalty in the last minute in front of The Kop? You heard it here first! It may be Stevie G’s farewell but I lean towards the away team on this handicap line whilst the unders does look to offer a little bit of value.
Swansea City v Manchester City
Manchester City -.75 and 2.75 goals
Swansea should be full of confidence after that great win away at Arsenal. The market line looks tricky so I may just take a slice of the overs as this will be a very open match that will be easy on the eye.
Manchester United v Arsenal
Pk and 2.5 goals
Following Monday nights loss at home to Swansea are Arsenal set for another capitulation and fourth place finish? Who knows but on this line if you have to, favour United to put in a big performance in their last home game of the season. Heavy lean to the home side off of scratch.
West Bromwich Albion v Chelsea
Chelsea -0.5 and 2.5 goals
Jose will not want to lose games between now and the end of the season but he will not bust a gut to win them. This is a tough trip for them and he may make changes but one thing we know is that he will select Captain Fantastic John Terry. It’s a brave man who goes against the Blues but I just lean to the home side on this line.
