TUESDAY

BRIGHTON v CHELSEA

Brighton are currently 9th on the table and are undefeated in their last 4 matches with 2 draws and 2 victories. They drew 1-1 at home with Crystal Palace over the weekend and prior to that stunned Everton 3-2 on the road. Brighton’s home form has been a bit disappointing this season with 3 wins and 4 draws in their 10 matches.

Brighton’s home games have been low scoring averaging just 1.9 goals each and if you were backing over 2.5 goals in each of those matches you would only have collected profits in 20% of the games.

Chelsea are 3rd on the table, but are now without a victory in their last 3 starts. Last time out they lost 1-0 away at Manchester City and prior to that they had home draws against Liverpool and Brighton. They have only lost twice on the road in 11 matches winning 7 and drawing 2, but those 2 losses have come in their last 4 away games.

Brighton 7/2

Draw 5/2

Chelsea 8/10

Suggested Bet: Handicap, Brighton (+1) at 21/20

For this bet to land we need Brighton to avoid defeat by drawing or winning the match and they look to be running into Chelsea at just the right time with Chelsea looking a shadow of the side they were earlier in the season.

WEDNESDAY

LEICESTER v TOTTENHAM

Leicester are 10th on the log having won 2 of their last 3 matches and they welcome 6th placed Tottenham who are undefeated in their last 8 English Premier League games. Leicester haven't been in action in the EPL in 2022 with 3 postponed matches and last time out they beat Liverpool 1-0 at home.

Overall they have won 5, drawn 1 and lost 3 of their 9 home matches having won their last 3 in succession in front of their own fans. Leicester’s home games have averaged 3.1 goals each.

Tottenham had their match against Arsenal postponed on the weekend and prior to that they edged Watford 1-0 on the road. They have won 3, drawn 2 and lost 3 of their 8 away matches and are undefeated in their last 3 away games.

Tottenham’s 8 matches on the road have averaged 2.1 goals each and only 3 of the 8 games have reached the 3 goal mark so they have been expensive to follow if you are an overs backer.

Leicester 2/1

Draw 9/4

Tottenham 27/20

 

Suggested Bet: Leicester win at 2/1

Leicester looked good in their last home match against Liverpool all be it that was over 2 weeks ago, but the freshness in their legs could stand them in good stead against Tottenham who were pushed quite hard by Watford away last time out.
