Premier League Predictions…

Here are our predictions for this weekend, along with Mark Lawrenson at the BBC:

Stat Attack: Saints fear the Devils…

Man Utd beat Leeds 5-1 five on the opening day. The Red Devils have a history of scoring well against this weekend’s opponents, Southampton…

• In 5 of their last 6 meetings, Man Utd have scored 2+ goals v the Saints

Last season’s two league encounters produced 9-0 (nine-nil) and 3-2 wins for the Old Trafford club.

This Sunday we’re going for a 3-1 score-line. United pulled off six of those 3-1 victories last season. And the 2020/21 stats on our members-only website had Man Utd ranked the no.1 team in the Premier League for Win & Both Teams to Score payouts (15 out of 27 wins seeing goals at both ends).

Weekend Accas…

Match Results:

When our Match Result predictions match up, my colleague Shaun & I roll these picks into an accumulator.

This weekend we have the same opinions on no fewer than 8 of the 10 games…

• Liverpool
• Man City
• Aston Villa
• Brighton v Watford - Draw
• Tottenham
• Man Utd
• Chelsea
• West Ham v Leicester - Draw

The 8-fold Match Result acca pays an eye-catching 231/1 with Marathonbet.

Last week, our match win selections were correct, but a draw prediction missed the mark…

Take the draws out of this weekend’s 8-fold whopper, and the 6-fold win acca pays 17/1 with Marathonbet.

Total Goals:

There are 5 games where we have an Under/ Over 2.5 Goals match-up in our predictions:

• Liverpool v Burnley – UNDER 2.5
• Crystal Palace v Brentford - UNDER 2.5
• Aston Villa v Newcastle - OVER 2.5
• Man City v Norwich - OVER 2.5
• Southampton v Man Utd - OVER 2.5

The 5-fold Goals acca pays 15/1 with Marathonbet.

Correct Scores…

And finally…

We have two matching Correct Score in our predictions:

• Liverpool to win 2-0 v Burnley is 11/2 (6.5) with Bet365

• Man Utd to win 3-1 at Southampton is 12/1 (13.0) with Bet365

We’ll be back next week with more Premier League stats and predictions for you.

Best wishes,

Oliver Upstone
