There are 4 English Premier League matches taking place on Wednesday night and we suggest a bet in each.
MANCHESTER CITY v NEWCASTLE – Click Here to bet
2nd place Manchester City are coming off a shock 1-0 away defeat to Southampton and the last time they played at home they demolished Champions, Liverpool 4-0. They have only lost twice at home this season and their home games have averaged 3.6 goals each with all but 3 of them delivering for over 2.5 goal backers.
Newcastle are 12th on the table and they have yet to get beaten since the COVID-19 break ended. Their only away match in this period was a 4-1 victory at Bournemouth, their 5th win in 16 away starts.
The sides drew 2-2 in the reverse fixture back in November and last season the home team one 2-1 on each occasion.
Betting
Manchester City 1/7
Draw 8/1
Newcastle 21/1
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 19/20
City bang in goals for fun at home and Newcastle look a side that can get on the score sheet as they have done in their last 3 League visits to Manchester City.
SHEFFIELD UNITED v WOLVES – Click Here to bet
Sheffield United are 9th on the table and having taken just 1 point from their opening 9 since play resumed, they have beaten Tottenham at home and drawn 1-1 away at Burnley. Sheffield United home games have been low scoring averaging just 2.1 goals each with 11 of the 16 games failing to reach 3 goals.
Wolves were beaten 2-0 at home by Arsenal in their last start and that broke a run of 3 successive victories. They currently sit 6th on the table and their away games averaged 2.5 goals each with 9 of the 16 matches delivering for under 2.5 goal backers.
Betting
Sheffield United 3/1
Draw 21/10
Wolves 23/20
Suggested Bet: The draw at 21/10
The reverse fixture finished 1-1 and I expect a similar outcome here between two sides which have punched above their weight this season.
WEST HAM v BURNLEY – Click Here to bet
West Ham have started to distance themselves from the relegation scrap having beaten Chelsea 3-2 at home and drawn 2-2 away with Newcastle in their last 2 starts. The Hammers home matches have been high scoring averaging 3.5 goals each with 10 of the 16 games delivering for over 2.5 goal backers.
Burnley have taken 7 points from the last 9 they have played for and they currently sit 10th on the table. Their away games averaged 2.6 goals each with 9 of the 16 reaching 3 goals or more.
Burnley won the reverse fixture 3-0.
Betting
West Ham 21/20
Draw 12/5
Burnley 59/20
Suggested Bet: West Ham win at 21/20
West Ham know they are just a couple of wins short of guaranteeing their safety and while Burnley won’t be an easy win, West Ham certainly have more to play for than the visitors.
BRIGHTON v LIVERPOOL – Click Here to bet
Brighton are 15th on the table and it looks like they can bank on another season of EPL action. They beat Norwich 1-0 away last time out, but their last home game was a 3-0 defeat to Manchester United. Brighton home games have been low scoring and only 5 of the 16 matches have delivered for over 2.5 goal backers although their last 2 home games have had 3 goals or more in them.
Liverpool wrapped up the Championship 2 games back and then came out and lost 4-0 to Manchester City before struggling past Aston Villa 2-0 at home on Sunday. Both defeats this season have come on the road.
Liverpool beat Brighton 2-1 at home earlier this season.
Betting
Brighton 5/1
Draw 33/10
Liverpool 11/20
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Brighton (+1), the draw at 11/4
For this bet to arrive Liverpool must win the game by exactly 1 goal and given they have looked off the pace since winning the title and that this bet would have arrived in the last 3 meetings between the sides I think it offers great value
