There are 2 English Premier League matches taking place on Tuesday night and we take a look at each of them from a betting angle.
LEICESTER V BRIGHTON – Click Here to bet
Leicester remain 3rd on the table after an away draw at Watford on the weekend. They looked like they had grabbed the 3 points heading into extra time only for Watford to equalise and the spoils were shared. Leicester’s home record has been very good this season with 9 wins and 3 draws in their 15 starts, but in their last 5 home matches they have only won twice. 10 of the 15 Leicester home matches have delivered for over 2.5 goal backers including 4 of their last 5.
Brighton beat Arsenal 2-1 on Saturday for a valuable 3 points to take them out of the reach of the relegation zone for the time being. This broke a run of 9 successive matches without a victory and away from home they have just won twice in 15 starts with 5 draws and 8 defeats and they have drawn their last 3 away matches. 9 of Brighton’s 15 away matches have had 3 goals or more in them.
Leicester beat Brighton 2-0 on the road earlier this season and they have won this fixture the last 2 renewals.
Betting
Leicester 7/10
Draw 57/20
Brighton 4/1
Suggested Bet: Leicester win at 7/10
I was impressed by both teams on the weekend, but despite not having the crowd behind them I think that Leicester at home will be too strong and they can make it 3 wins in a row over Brighton.
TOTTENHAM V WEST HAM – Click Here to bet
Tottenham are 8th on the table after a draw against Manchester United on Friday night. They are now without a win in their last 4 starts and although they have only lost 4 of 15 home games this season, they have not won in their last 2 starts at home. Tottenham’s home games averaged 2.9 goals each with 8 of the 15 having delivered for over 2.5 goal backers.
West Ham United are currently sitting just 1 position above the relegation zone in 17th and they were beaten 2-0 at home by Wolves on the weekend. They have won just 3 times on the road this season and they have lost their last 6 away matches. West Ham’s away games have been amongst the lowest scoring of the League averaging just 2.4 goals each with only 6 of the 15 games reaching 3 goals or more.
Tottenham beat West Ham 3-2 away earlier this season and the last time they visited Tottenham in the League, West Ham won 1-0 and the time before that they drew 1-1.
Betting
Tottenham 7/10
Draw 61/20
West Ham 15/4
Suggested Bet: Handicap Tottenham (-1) at 7/4
The Hammers look to be really battling and I think Tottenham are going to be too strong here, I quite fancy home win double on Tuesday night at just shy of 2/1, but as a straight bet on this game will go for Tottenham to win by more than a goal.
