BettingDiaryThere are 4 English Premier League matches taking place on Saturday and we suggest a bet in each of them.

 

 

 

 

BURNLEY v ARSENAL

Burnley got an impressive home point against Leicester in midweek, drawing 1-1 and they have had 3 draws and 1 loss in their last 4 games. They haven't won in their last 5 home matches and their last 4 home games have finished level.

Burnley home games average 1.9 goals each and had you being backing over 2.5 goals in their 14 home matches, you would only have collected returns on 3 occasions.

Arsenal beat Leicester 3-1 away in what was one of their most impressive performances of the season, they now sit 10th on the table. The Gunners have won 3 of their last 5 matches on the road.

Burnley 9/2

Draw 3/1

Arsenal 13/20

Suggested Bet: Handicap, Arsenal (-1) at 33/20

If Arsenal can reproduce the form they showed at Leicester they should win this one going away.

 

 

 

SHEFFIELD UNITED v SOUTHAMPTON

Sheffield United got only their 4th win of the season last time out when they beat Aston Villa 1-0 at home, that broke a run of 4 successive losses, but they are still firmly rooted to the foot of the table.

Southampton have only taken 1 point from the last 9 matches they have played for and were beaten 1-0 by Everton away last time out. They have been the worst performing team in the Division over the last 10 matches.

Sheffield United 53/20

Draw 5/2

Southampton 11/10

Suggested Bet: Sheffield United win at 53/20

Southampton have an excellent record against Sheffield United, but I can’t bring myself to back them at a current price of 11/10, in fact I think Sheffield United are the value here given the way they are playing and the fact that their opponents have been awful on the road of late.

ASTON VILLA v WOLVES

Aston Villa are 9th on the table and suffered a disappointing defeat away at Sheffield United last time out. They have won 3 and drawn 2 of their last 5 home games.

Wolves are 12th on the table and lost for the first time in 5 matches when they went down 4-1 away to Manchester City and they have only won 1 of their last 5 games on the road.

Aston Villa 29/20

Draw 9/4

Wolves 21/10

Suggested Bet: Wolves win at 21/10

The away team has a good record in this fixture and aside from that big defeat to City, Wolves have been playing well and I don’t feel we can say the same about Villa.

BRIGHTON v LEICESTER

Brighton are 16th on the table, but are coming off back-to-back defeats and have not won in their last 4 starts. Last time out they were disappointing in going down 1-0 away at West Brom and their last home game was a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace.

Brighton’s home record is very poor and they have only won once in 13 home starts this season and they have averaged under a goal a game at home.

Leicester are coming off a disappointing away draw at Burnley and prior to that they lost 3-1 at home to Arsenal. Both teams have scored in Leicester’s last 4 League matches. They have scored more points than any other team on the road this season with 31 in their 14 games and they have scored over 2 goals to their opponents 1 in away matches.

Brighton 16/10

Draw 9/4

Leicester 37/20

Suggested Bet: Leicester win at 37/20

I am quite happy to take this price for a Leicester side which has an excellent record away from home and playing a Brighton side that appears to be really struggling.
