Premier League Predictions…

Here are our Premier League predictions, along with Chris Sutton’s from BBC Sport.

Just the seven top-flight fixtures this week, with other teams in action in the FA Cup Quarter Finals:

Stat Attack: Chuba on fire for ‘Boro…

Middlesbrough are one of the form teams in the Championship, building up a head of steam since Michael Carrick took over.

Currently 3rd in the table and pushing for promotion, with 7 wins in their last 9 games. Chuba Akpom’s goals have been instrumental in ‘Boro’s march up the league…

• Akpom is top scorer in the Championship this season, with 23 goals

• Chuba has racked up 10 goals in his last 9 games. In that time, he’s landed 7 x Anytime Scorer payouts, and 5 x First Scorer

This weekend’s game is Middlesbrough v Preston (Saturday, 3pm). Last time these sides met, Akpom opened the scoring after just 7 minutes…

Chuba Akpom is 11/8 (2.38) to score Anytime, and 7/2 (4.5) to score First. Those best prices are with Bet365.

The Weekend Acca…

For every round of Premier League games, we build an accumulator from the matching selections in our Predictor grid across the Match Result and Goals markets. Rolling up for some big odds…

So far this season we’ve come close to the jackpot more than once. With 59% of the individual legs proving successful overall (123 out of 207). And I know that many of you cashed-out for a nice profit from the 119/1 acca in Round 2, and again with the 120/1 combo in Round 9.

Round 1 @ 40/1 – 6 out of 8 winning legs
Round 2 @ 119/1 – 8 out of 9
Round 3 @ 120/1 – 6 out of 9
Round 4 @ 13/1 – 6 out of 7
Round 5 @ 79/1 – 7 out of 9
Round 6 @ 22/1 – 2 out of 6
Round 7 @ 13/2 – 2 out of 5
Round 8 @ 103/1 – 7 out of 9
Round 9 @ 120/1 – 8 out of 9
Round 10 @ 53/1 – 5 out of 8
Round 11 @ 26/1 – 2 out of 7
Round 12 @ 511/1 – 4 out of 10
Round 13 @ 70/1 – 5 out of 8
Round 14 @ 184/1 – 4 out of 8
Round 15 @ 42/1 – 5 out of 8
Round 16 @ 219/1 – 7 out of 10
Round 17 @ 155/1 – 4 out of 9
Round 18 @ 16/1 – 4 out of 6
Round 19 @ 46/1 – 3 out of 7
Round 20 @ 45/1 – 3 out of 7
Round 21 @ 37/1 – 4 out of 7
Round 22 @ 35/1 – 4 out of 7
Round 23 @ 187/1 – 5 out of 9
Round 24 @ 55/1 - 3 out of 7
Round 25 @ 52/1 - 4 out of 8
Round 26 @ 160/1 - 5 out of 10

Here’s our combo for this weekend…

These picks match-up across the predictions from myself, my Across the Leagues colleague Shaun, and Chris Sutton at the BBC:

Nottingham Forest v Newcastle - UNDER 2.5 GOALS
Aston Villa v Bournemouth - ASTON VILLA TO WIN
Brentford v Leicester - BRENTFORD TO WIN
Chelsea v Everton - UNDER 2.5 GOALS
Arsenal v Crystal Palace - ARSENAL TO WIN

• The five-fold acca pays 12/1 with Unibet

Enjoy the football…
