BettingDiaryThe English Premier League fixtures come thick and fast at this time of the year and we take a look at Tuesday’s 5 matches from a betting angle.

 

 

 

 

BRIGHTON v ARSENAL – Click here to bet

Brighton are 16th on the log, 4 points and 1 position behind Arsenal. They have not won in their last 6 matches and are coming off 3 successive draws most recently 2-2 away at West Ham.

Arsenal broke a 7 match run, during which time they had only taken 2 points, with a 3-1 home victory over Chelsea on Boxing Day.

Brighton have an excellent recent record against Arsenal doing the double over them last season and they are undefeated in their last 5 League matches against the Gunners.

BETTING

Brighton 22/10

Draw 12/5

Arsenal 13/10

Suggested Bet: The draw at 12/5

Arsenal’s win over Chelsea was impressive, but I am not convinced they have turned the corner and I think the value lies in Brighton playing to a 4th successive draw.

BURNLEY v SHEFFIELD UNITED – Click here to bet

Burnley are 17th on the log and they are coming off a 1-0 defeat away at Leeds. They have taken 7 points from the last 9 they have played for at home and Burnley home games have averaged under 2 goals each this season.

Sheffield United remain rock bottom of the table without a win in 15 games. They were beaten 1-0 at home by Everton last time out, but did pick up a point in their last away match drawing 1-1 with Brighton.

This fixture finished 1-1 last season.

BETTING

Burnley 14/10

Draw 43/20

Sheffield United 23/10

Suggested Bet: Burnley win at 14/10

Burnley’s recent home form has been solid and although Sheffield United have turned in some improved displays I think the home team will bag 3 points here.

SOUTHAMPTON v WEST HAM – Click here to bet

Southampton have only taken 2 points from the last 9 they have played for and have slipped to 9th on the table, 1 position and 3 points ahead of West Ham who have also only taken 2 points from their last 3 matches.

Southampton’s last 3 matches would have delivered for under 2.5 goal backers, but by contrast West Ham’s matches have been high scoring with 5 of their last 6 games delivering for over 2.5 goal backers.

West Ham have enjoyed their trips to Southampton the last couple of seasons winning both games and they are looking for their 6th successive victory against Southampton.

 

BETTING

Southampton 12/10

Draw 5/2

West Ham 23/10

 

Suggested Bet: Southampton win at 12/10

I am going against the head-to-head stats here, but if I have a close look at Southampton’s home record it is good and recent defeats have come against Manchester City and Manchester United and I think they can get back on track against a wobbling West Ham team.

WEST BROM v LEEDS - Click here to bet

West Brom sit 19th on the table with just 1 win in their opening 15 matches. Their last home game was a 3-0 defeat at Villa, but either side of that they have 1-1 away draws at Manchester City and more recently Liverpool.

Leeds have won 2 of their last 3 matches and sit 12th on the table. Last time out they beat Burnley 1-0 at home. They have lost their last 2 away matches against Manchester United and Chelsea.

This fixture finished 1-1 when these sides met in the Championship last season.

 

BETTING

West Brom 5/2

Draw 28/10

Leeds 21/20

Suggested Bet: Under 2.5 goals at 5/4

Leeds are playing some high scoring games, but I am expecting West Brom to keep things tight as Big Sam looks to grab something like a 1-0 win. Unders would have arrived in both matches between the sides last season.

MANCHESTER UNITED v WOLVES – Click here to bet

United are 4th on the table and they are coming off a 2-2 away draw at Leicester. Their last home game was a 6-2 win over Leeds and that was only their 2nd home win in 7 matches this season.

Wolves are 7 places behind Manchester United in 11th position and are coming off a 1-1 home draw with Tottenham. They have lost 3 of their last 4 away games most recently going down to Burnley and Liverpool.

This fixture has been drawn the last 2 seasons.

BETTING

Manchester United 6/10

Draw 31/10

Wolves 19/4

Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 17/20

There have been 17 goals in Manchester United’s last 3 matches with all of them delivering for over 2.5 goal backers and 2 of the last 3 Wolves games have also seen at least 3 goals scored.
