There are 2 English Premier League matches taking place on Friday night and we suggest a bet in each.
BRIGHTON v BURNLEY – Click here to bet
It is too early in the season to talk about relegation 6-pointers, but both these sides are off to very slow starts.
Brighton currently sit 16th on the table with just 1 win in 7 matches and they have only taken 2 points out of the last 15 they have played for. Last time out they lost 2-1 away at Tottenham and their last home game was a 1-1 draw with West Brom.
Burnley are bottom of the table without a win in their opening 6 games during which time they have taken only 1 point. They are coming off home defeats to Chelsea and Tottenham and their last away game was against West Brom where they drew 0-0.
This fixture was drawn 1-1 last season and Brighton won at Burnley 2-1.
BETTING
Brighton 9/10
Draw 26/10
Burnley 13/4
Suggested Bet: Brighton win at 9/10
Brighton’s defeat away to Tottenham was not a bad performance and I think they can bag their first 3 pointer of the season and I think they can pick up 3 points at home to Burnley.
SOUTHAMPTON v NEWCASTLE – Click here to bet
Southampton are 5th on the table with 4 wins and a draw in their 7 matches. Their recent form has been impressive and they are unbeaten in their last 5 and last time beat out Aston Villa 4-3 away and prior to that beat Everton 2-0 at home.
Newcastle are 11th on the table and coming off a 2-1 home win over Everton. Prior to that they drew 1-1 away at Wolves. Both teams have found the back of the net in Newcastle’s last 5 matches.
Newcastle have won their last 3 League matches against Southampton including winning this fixture 1-0 last season.
BETTING
Southampton 19/20
Draw 26/10
Newcastle 29/10
Suggested Bet: The draw at 26/10
I looked closely at both teams to score yes, but the 7/10 is just short enough to put me off and I will go for the draw in what I think will be a very tight match.
