There are 2 English Premier League matches taking place on Wednesday and we have a look at each of them from a betting angle.
MANCHESTER CITY v BRIGHTON
Manchester City are 5th on the table and have won 5 and drawn 2 of their last 7 EPL matches. They have games in hand over the teams above them and in the Outright Betting are the 17/20 favourites to win the title – Click here for EPL Outright Betting.
City’s most recent win was a 3-1 victory at Chelsea and at home this season they have won 4, drawn 2 and lost 1 of their 7 games. Manchester City have usually proven to be a profitable team to follow in the over 2.5 goal market, but this season they have been different and 11 of their 15 games have failed to reach 3 goals.
Brighton are hovering just outside the relegation zone in 17th place and they have had 5 draws and 3 losses in their last 8 matches, most recently a 3-3 home draw with Wolves. Of Brighton’s 17 matches this season 10 would have delivered for over 2.5 goal backers and looking only at their away games, 6 of 8 games have reached 3 goals or more.

Manchester City 1/5
Draw 25/4
Brighton 29/2
Suggested Bet: Goals Home Team 3 or more at 8/10
City are a side starting to come into form and although they are not as free scoring as last season that could be about to change against a side they scored 9 goals against in two matches last season.
TOTTENHAM v FULHAM
This fixture has been hastily arranged with Aston Villa pulling out of the planned game against Tottenham due to COVID-19 issues.
Tottenham are 4th on the table and are coming off a 3-0 home win over Leeds in their last EPL start and they were also in FA Cup action on the weekend beating Marine 5-0 away. Tottenham have won 4 and drawn 2 of their 8 home matches and Tottenham home games have averaged 2.6 goals each with 3 of the 8 games reaching 3 goals or more.
Fulham are 18th on the log and without a win in their last 5 starts. They are coming off 4 successive draws, most recently a goalless draw at home to Southampton. Fulham have played 7 away matches this season, winning just 1 and their away games have averaged 2.6 goals each with just 2 of the 7 games delivering profits if you had backed over 2.5 goals.

Tottenham 9/20
Draw 77/20
Fulham 25/4
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Tottenham (-1) at 11/10
It will be a big ask for Fulham to prepare for this fixture and to get anything from Spurs away and I am backing the home team to win this comfortably.
