BettingDiaryThere are 4 English Premier League matches taking place this Saturday, we take a look at each of them from a betting angle.

 

 

 

 

 

WATFORD V LEICESTER – Click Here to bet

Watford looked certain relegation candidates a few months ago, but they pulled themselves to safety before hitting another wobbly run, winning just 1 of their last 5 matches. They currently sit 17th and just outside the relegation zone on goal difference.

Leicester are having another great season and they sit 3rd on the log although they also have only won 1 of their last 5 matches. Leicester won the reverse fixture 2-0 and that was the 7th successive time the home team has won the match between these two sides.

Betting

Watford 26/10

Draw 51/20

Leicester 11/10

Suggested Bet: Watford win at 26/10

I am sticking my next out here and going for Watford to grab a much needed 3 points.

BRIGHTON V ARSENAL – Click Here to bet

Brighton were looking fairly comfortable in the EPL at one stage, but they have failed to win any of their last 9 matches, drawing 6 and losing 3 and they currently sit 15th on the table, just 2 points above the relegation zone.

They face an Arsenal side which played on Wednesday night against Manchester City, getting beaten 3-0 on the road and the Gunners currently sit in 9th place on the log.

Brighton have got a good recent record against Arsenal beating them away earlier this season and last season both fixtures home and away were drawn.

Betting

Brighton 41/20

Draw 12/5

Arsenal 14/10

Suggested Bet: Brighton win at 41/20

I am hoping Saturday is going to be one for the underdogs, but I really think Arsenal are in a dark place at the moment and Brighton can take advantage.

WEST HAM V WOLVES – Click Here to bet

West Ham have only won 1 of their last 9 matches and they sit 16th on the table outside of the relegation zone on goal difference.

They face a Wolves side that is undefeated in their last 5, drawing 3 and winning 2 and go into the weekend sitting 7th on the table. Wolves did the double over West Ham last season and they also won at home 2-0 earlier in this season.

Betting

West Ham 26/10

Draw 12/5

Wolves 23/20

Suggested Bet: Wolves win at 23/20

West Ham looked the team in serious trouble before the break and Wolves look well capable of taking 3 points on the road.

BOURNEMOUTH V CRYSTAL PALACE – Click Here to bet

Bournemouth are currently sitting 18th on the log and filling the final relegation position. They looked all at sea prior to the COVID-19 break, taking just 1 point from the last 12 on offer.

They are at home to 11th placed Crystal Palace who had been very disappointed when the break came as they had won 3 successive matches.

The last 6 Bournemouth EPL matches have had over 2.5 goals in them, but by contrast Crystal Palace’s last 6 games have had 5 of them deliver for under 2.5 goal backers.

Palace beat Bournemouth 1-0 at home earlier this season and this fixture was won 2-1 by Bournemouth last season.

Betting

Bournemouth 31/20

Draw 9/4

Crystal Palace 39/20

Suggested Bet: The draw at 9/4

Bournemouth are in a relegation scrap and will fight for every point and I suspect they may just be satisfied to come away with one here.
