First Week: 8th-10th February AEDT

 

Everton vs. Crystal Palace

 

Back Everton +0.5 at 1.19 (bet365)

Everton have gone 4-6-0 against Crystal Palace over the last five seasons. Everton have only lost one of their last ten games while Palace have won just one of their last ten.

Back Under 2.5 goals at 1.80 (Betfair)

Eight of the last ten meetings between the two went under 2.5 goals. The last two meetings both resulted in 0-0 stalemates. Palace are struggling for goals at the moment but their organisation in defence has led them to be tied for the 4th best defensive record in the league. The result of these two features is that ten of their last twelve games went under 2.5.

Back 0-0 for first half correct score (under 0.5 first half goals) at 2.85 (Unibet)

This season 15 of Palace’s 25 league fixtures have been scoreless at halftime.

Sheffield United vs. Bournemouth

 

Back Sheffield United in the head-to-head at 1.77 (Betfair)

Bournemouth have won back to back games at home over Brighton and Aston Villa to crawl out of the relegation zone but I’m not yet convinced by their form. Against Brighton they won despite conceding a whopping 21 shots and 8 shots on goal. Aston Villa had exerted themselves heavily in the midweek EFL Cup semi-final against Leicester City. Prior to those two games Bournemouth were in 2-4-11 form. The Cherries have lost five of their six 6 away games and they failed to score in the last three. Sheffield United currently sit 6th with Chris Wilder continuing to put on a management master class. Looking at the interactive EPL form guide, the Blades have gone 4-1-1 in their last six home games against weak opponents and 4-2-0 in their last six fixtures against weak opponents.

Manchester City vs. West Ham

 

Back Manchester City in the head-to-head at 1.12 (Betfair)

Manchester City enter this game on the back of a defeat and history has shown that this is the worst time to play them. Over the last 12 months City have gone 5-0-0 in the league on the back of a defeat. West Ham bring 2-2-7 form into this game and the club has only won only 1 of 6 under new manager David Moyes. The Hammers have conceded 9 goals in their last 3 games as they continue to offer up mistakes on defence. City have won their last seven straight against West Ham. They won the last three games by a combined 10 goals to nil.

 
 

Second Week: 15th-18th February AEDT

 

Wolverhampton vs. Leicester City

 

Back both teams to score at 1.80 (bet365, Unibet)

Both teams have scored in 12 of Wolverhampton’s 17 home fixtures over the last 12 months, while the same can be said for 11 of Leicester City’s 17 away games. Both sides have scored in 8 of the last 10 games for both Wolverhampton and Leicester. Wolverhampton have been held scoreless just once at home over the last 12 months, while Leicester city have been held goalless just twice.

Norwich vs. Liverpool

 

Back Liverpool in the head-to-head at 1.35 (Unibet)

Liverpool have a 7-1-0 record against Norwich going back to 2012. Liverpool are unbeaten in 42 league games and they have conceded just 1 goal in their last 10 fixtures.

Aston Villa vs. Tottenham

 

Back over 0.5 Aston Villa goals at 1.42 (BetEasy)

Aston Villa have been held scoreless in just 1 home game out of 12 this season, while Tottenham have kept only 1 clean sheet away from home over the last 12 months.
