Premier League Predictions…

Here are our predictions for this weekend, along with Chris Sutton, who has replaced Mark Lawrenson at the BBC:

STAT ATTACK:

Chelsea v Tottenham – Sunday 4.30pm, Sky Sports

Did you know…

• Harry Kane hasn’t scored in any of his last 7 appearances v Chelsea 

Will it be 8th time lucky for the Tottenham striker at Stamford Bridge this Sunday? The bookies think so…

Kane is the favourite in the Anytime Scorer market at 15/8 (2.88). And also top of the list for First Goalscorer, at 5/1 (6.0). Those prices are from Bet365.

The Weekend Acca…

This season we’ll be building a weekly accumulator from the matching selections in our Predictor grid, across the Match Result and Goals markets. Rolling up for some big odds…

Our 40/1 attempt in Week 1 didn’t fare too badly, with six out of eight legs ticking the box.

At these odds, we’d only need one winning acca all season to make it all worthwhile…

Here’s our Week 2 combo. These picks all match-up across the predictions from myself, my Across the Leagues colleague Shaun, and Chris Sutton on the BBC:

Aston Villa v Everton – Both Teams to Score: Yes
Arsenal v Leicester – Arsenal to win
Brighton v Newcastle – Draw
Man City v Bournemouth – Man City to win
Southampton v Leeds – Over 2.5 Goals
Wolves v Fulham – Under 2.5 Goals
Brentford v Man Utd – Over 2.5 Goals
Chelsea v Tottenham – Both Teams to Score: Yes
Liverpool v Crystal Palace – Liverpool to win

• The nine-fold acca pays 119/1 with Betway 

STAT ATTACK:

Did you know…

• 5 of the last 9 meetings between Brighton and Newcastle have ended in Draws 

Correct Scores…

Each week we’ll also highlight where there is a matching Correct Score in the predictions. Last season we landed 7 of these from 38 attempts. That proved a profitable exercise, generating 20 points profit to level 1-pt stakes (53% ROI).

This weekend we have one matching Correct Score in the predictions:

Brighton v Newcastle: 1-1

• The 1-1 Correct Score is 11/2 (6.5) with Bet365

Enjoy the football…

We’ll be back next weekend – and all season – with stacks of Premier League stats and predictions for you.
