Fulham vs Wolves Preview

Friday, February 24th, 20:00 (UK)

Fulham have enjoyed a triumphant return to the Premier League this season. They are currently 6th in the table and challenging for European football next season. If the second half of their season is as productive as their first, then Marco Silva is a contender for manager of the season. Fulham are unbeaten in their last five competitive matches and have won 8 of their previous 12.

Wolves are looking to avoid relegation this season. They have won half of their eight matches under Lopetegui, climbing up to 15th in the Premier League. Bruno Lage was in charge when these teams played out a 0-0 draw in August.

Fulham vs Wolves Best Bet

Earlier this season, the meeting between these sides saw 46 throws in the match. Fulham’s matches at Craven Cottage are averaging 44.92 throws per game this season. This bet has won in eight of their 12 home matches. Marco Silva’s men play with high intensity, and this has led to the ball going out of play a lot in recent weeks. Since the World Cup, their home matches are averaging just short of 50 throws per game.

Wolves’ most recent away league match finished with 47 throws. Their matches average 39.75 per game under Lopetegui, but expect this match to see more given the opposition. The visitors will view this game as winnable and should look to disrupt the home side’s rhythm.

Selection: Match Throws O 40.5 (Tracked)
Best Odds: 1.90 (Bet365)
Stakes: 6/10

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool Preview

Saturday, February 25th, 19:45 (UK)

Crystal Palace drew with Liverpool at Anfield earlier this season. However, they have been on a poor run of form that has seen them win just one of their last 12 games in all competitions. Despite the poor run, Viera’s side still remains firmly in mid-table.

Liverpool looked to have turned a corner after winning their last two league matches. However, they were put to the sword by Real Madrid in the Champions League. Klopp’s men must now focus on securing a top-four finish, but they have a battle on their hands.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool Best Bet

This bet has landed in four of the last five meetings between these sides. There has been an average of 40.2 throws per game over that period.

Liverpool’s midfield issues have been no secret this season. They lack the dynamism of recent seasons, and many believe they need an overhaul. Klopp’s men seldom appear to be in control. This has meant the number of throws in their matches on the road has increased to an average of 41.55 per game this season.

Selection: Over 39.5 Throws (Tracked)
Best Odds: 1.80 (Bet365)
Stakes: 6/10

Bournemouth vs Manchester City Preview

Saturday, February 25th, 17:30 (UK)

Bournemouth beat Wolves at Molineux last weekend and moved up to 17th in the league. The Cherries moving out of the relegation zone shocked many after a torrid run made them look destined for the drop. Gary O’Neil’s men will need to continue to perform if they want to keep their heads above water this season.

Manchester City dropped points at the City Ground last weekend and followed it up with a disappointing draw in Germany. They will be looking to return to winning ways this weekend and keep the pressure on Arsenal in the title race. Pep’s side isn’t as menacing as last season despite the introduction of Erling Haaland. They will be hoping to hit their stride before the end of the season to challenge for three pieces of silverware.

Bournemouth vs Manchester City Best Bet

Nottingham Forest had 15 goal kicks when they took on Manchester City last weekend. Pep’s men piled on the pressure to chase that elusive second goal, but they were unable to find it. The Cherries will look to take a page out of Forest’s book and remain resolute for large periods.

Bournemouth’s last five matches where they have been similarly priced have seen them average 10 goal kicks per game. They had 15 goal kicks at the Etihad earlier this season.

Selection: Over 9.5 Goal Kicks For Bournemouth
Best Odds: 1.83 (Bet365)
Stakes: 7/10

West Ham vs Nottingham Forest Preview

Saturday, February 25th, 15:00 (UK)

West Ham look set to stick with David Moyes in what has been a difficult season for the club. The Hammers had enjoyed a couple of seasons near the top end of the Premier League, but now they are in the midst of a relegation battle. They are currently in 18th place, one point from safety.

Nottingham Forest are five places above West Ham, but just five points separate the sides. The league table is extremely tight, and Steve Cooper’s squad risks getting dragged back into the relegation dogfight if they are beaten in London on Saturday.

Forest have done remarkably well in recent months after being written off by many early in the season. Three points here would have them looking ahead as opposed to over their shoulders.

West Ham vs Nottingham Forest Best Bet

Brennan Johnson started up front against Manchester City and managed two attempts. Forest should see much more of the ball on Saturday. Cooper’s side had just 27% possession and four shots as they secured a point against the champions.

Johnson had two of Forest’s 13 shots when they beat West Ham 1-0 earlier this season. He is averaging 1.2 shots per 90 minutes this season.

Selection: Over 1.5 Shots For Brennan Johnson (Tracked)
Best Odds: 2.20 (Bet365)
Stakes: 7/10

Everton vs Aston Villa Preview

Saturday, February 25th, 15:00 (UK)

Everton have secured six of the nine points available since Sean Dyche has been at the helm. The former Burnley man has been tasked with steering the club away from relegation. The Toffees are now up to 16th, but they know they cannot afford to rest on their laurels. Everton haven’t beaten Villa since 2016, losing 2-1 when these sides met earlier in the season.

Aston Villa looks set for a mid-table finish, and there is little danger of them battling relegation in the closing months of the season. They have been solid, if uninspiring since Unai Emery took over, but the foundations are being laid for next season.

Everton vs Aston Villa Best Bet

Everton have won both games played at Goodison Park under Sean Dyche. They would be on the front foot for some periods of this game as they look to make home advantage count. They will look to move the ball into advanced areas, and this should mean they are caught offside on occasion.

Since Emery took over at Villa, their opponents are averaging 3.3 offsides per game. The Spanish coach favours a high line, and this lends itself nicely to catching the opposition offside. Everton had three offsides in the reverse fixture, and they also had three in this fixture last season.

Selection: Over 2.5 Offsides For Everton (Tracked)
Best Odds: 2.04(bookmaker)
Stakes: 7/10

Tottenham vs Chelsea Preview

Sunday, February 26th, 14:00 (UK)

Tottenham overcame West Ham in their last match and are still looking to break back into the top four. They are chasing down Manchester United and Newcastle United, but the performances this season have left a lot to be desired. Spurs haven’t beaten Chelsea in the last 13 meetings between the sides. However, Chelsea haven’t looked this poor during that run.

Chelsea’s woes continued last weekend as they were beaten 1-0 by Southampton. Graham Potter has won just five of his 17 league games in charge of the club. It’s now inconceivable that they will qualify for the Champions League next season. They face an uphill struggle to qualify for any continental football ahead of next season.

Tottenham vs Chelsea Best Bet

Joao Felix was brought in on loan from Atletico Madrid, and he has already taken to life in London. He was sent off on his debut against Fulham, but he was a bright spark for the Blues leading up to that point. He had six shots in 58 minutes on that day.

There is already talk of making the move permanent. Chelsea have a wealth of young talent and this season should be an anomaly in terms of results. Felix has had three shots in both league matches he has played since the sending-off. Moreover, this Chelsea side should create an abundance of chances on Sunday.

Selection: Over 2.5 Shots For Joao Felix (Tracked)
Best Odds: 2.25 (Bet365)
Stakes: 6/10
