Fulham vs. Everton
Recommended Bet: Draw at 3.70 (Betfair)
Historically, this fixture has seen its fair share of stalemates, with four of the last eight encounters at Craven Cottage ending level. This season, Everton leads the Premier League in drawn matches with 15, including six from their last ten games. A consistent record of draws in away matches means backing the draw has been profitable—delivering a $7.30 return over the past year with $1 stakes.
Southampton vs. Manchester City
Recommended Bet: Man City to win (Head-to-Head) at 1.22 (bet365)
Though the odds are short, the stats heavily favour Manchester City. Southampton have lost 12 of 13 games this season as home underdogs. City, still vying for Champions League qualification, enter this fixture on a five-game winning streak in all competitions.
Ipswich vs. Brentford
Recommended Bet 1: Over 2.5 Goals at 1.53 (bet365)
Ipswich’s fragile defence continues to be a theme, with their last seven games—and last six home fixtures—all seeing over 2.5 total goals. Each of their previous five opponents scored at least twice. Brentford are also prolific on the road, seeing over 2.5 total goals in 12 of their last 18 away matches. Their last clash with Ipswich featured seven goals.
Recommended Bet 2: Brentford to win at 1.66 (Betfair)
Ipswich have struggled as underdogs at home this season, with a 1-3-10 record. Brentford, meanwhile, are unbeaten in two games when favoured away from home.
Same Game Multi: Brentford to win + Over 2.5 Goals at 2.05 (bet365)
Combine the two bets above for greater value.
Newcastle vs. Chelsea
Recommended Bets:
– Newcastle to win at 2.15 (Dabble)
– Newcastle Draw No Bet at 1.64 (Dabble)
– Newcastle +0.5 Handicap at 1.41 (Betfair)
This matchup could shape the race for UCL qualification. Both teams are level on points, with Newcastle edging Chelsea on goal difference. Although their recent forms are quite similar—Newcastle are 6-1-2, Chelsea 6-2-1—the Magpies hold the advantage at home. They’ve won five straight at St. James’ Park, each of the last three by at least 3 goals. Chelsea are 0-0-4 as away underdogs this season and lost this reverse fixture 4-1 last year. Additionally, Chelsea have a midweek Europa Conference League match, while Newcastle come in well-rested.
Tottenham vs. Crystal Palace
Recommended Bet: Tottenham +0.5 Handicap at 1.57 (Betfair)
With Palace focused on avoiding injuries ahead of the FA Cup final, manager Oliver Glasner may opt to rest key players. Tottenham have won nine straight home games against Palace, regardless of managerial changes. Palace are winless in five league matches and haven’t secured an away victory since February. Given Spurs’ inconsistency, the safer Asian Handicap option is preferred over a straight head-to-head win.
Nottingham Forest vs. Leicester City
Recommended Bets:
– Nottingham Forest to win at 1.36 (bet365)
– Nottingham Forest to win to nil at 2.19 (BoomBet)
Forest remain in the hunt for European football, while Leicester are merely playing out their campaign. Leicester have lost 17 of their last 20 matches, with each of their past 12 defeats coming without scoring. Nottingham Forest have been strong at home, winning 7 of their last 9 by keeping clean sheets.
