Our betting analyst, Jones Knows, shares his thoughts on this weekend’s Premier League matches, forecasting a surprising result at Anfield.
Wolves vs Tottenham, Sunday 2pm
Tottenham has faced defeat in 12 of their last 19 Premier League matches away from home, and this fixture falls between crucial Europa League quarter-finals. With perhaps less pressure and sunshine shining down, Spurs might revert to their dynamic style of play under Ange Postecoglou. However, the odds on Wolves at 6/5 with Sky Bet are hard to overlook. Vitor Pereira has transformed Wolves into a tough side to beat, achieving 10 points from 12 available without Matheus Cunha—impressive, even if against weaker teams.
SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1
Liam Delap is set to be available for a £30m move once Ipswich is relegated from the Premier League, attracting interest from clubs, including Chelsea. This match presents an excellent opportunity for him to impress Chelsea’s management, having previously shown his prowess in Ipswich’s sole home win of the season against them by scoring and winning three fouls. Similar performances can be backed at 9/1 through Sky Bet’s BuildABet feature.
SCORE PREDICTION: 3-1
Liverpool vs West Ham, Sunday 2pm, live on Sky Sports – PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!
Liverpool requires just 11 points from their final seven games to secure the Premier League title, though they may struggle to clinch it convincingly.
The odds for a West Ham away victory at 9/1 with Sky Bet are tempting. Graham Potter has an impressive away record against top teams, avoiding defeat in six out of his last ten such matches, with an aggregate score of only 8-12. His teams have also matched expected goals closely during these encounters, with 0.85-1.3, indicating a strong defensive strategy against formidable opponents.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2 | JONES KNOWS’ BEST BET: West Ham +2 handicap (10/11 with Sky Bet)
Newcastle vs Manchester United, Sunday 4.30pm, live on Sky Sports – PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!
Newcastle’s hangover from their recent success hasn’t seemed to affect them yet—a testament to Eddie Howe’s management. However, Newcastle appears overvalued at 4/6 with Sky Bet. If Manchester United replicates their solid performance against Man City, utilizing a low-block strategy, they can compete effectively.
This strategy has worked well for United against top teams like Arsenal, Man City, and Liverpool, where they showed defensive strength, losing only one of those matches. I expect them to frustrate Newcastle’s attack.
SCORE PREDICTION: 0-1
Bournemouth vs Fulham, Monday 8pm, live on Sky Sports
This match is expected to be highly competitive, likely leading to numerous fouls, a characteristic of Bournemouth’s style. They have committed more fouls than any other team this season, averaging at least 13 in 17 of their last 18 matches. There’s attractive value on Tyler Adams’ fouls committed odds; since returning from injury in November, he has averaged 2.6 fouls per game and has surpassed the two or more line in 11 out of his last 16 starts. Placing a bet at 10/11 with Sky Bet for this scenario seems prudent.
SCORE PREDICTION: 2-2 | JONES KNOWS’ BEST BET: Tyler Adams +2 fouls (10/11 with Sky Bet)
