Premier League Predictions…

Here are our predictions for the weekend, along with Chris Sutton’s from BBC Sport:

STAT ATTACK:

Leicester v Manchester City – Saturday 12.30pm, BT Sport

The stats say we could see a fast start in the early game…

• 4 of Leicester’s last 7 Premier League games have seen the First Goal scored inside the opening 10 minutes

• 4 of Man City’s last 9 league games have produced a goal within the first 10 minutes

The last time these two clubs met, Kevin De Bruyne put City ahead after just five minutes…

Bookmakers offer various time brackets and options for the Time of First Goal market. For example:

‘Time of First Goal: 1-10 Minutes’ is 11/4 (3.75) with Bet365. And ‘1st to 15th Minute’ is 6/4 (2.5) at William Hill.

The Weekend Acca…

Every week 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, we’ve done pretty well, and come close to the jackpot more than once. With 66% of the individual legs proving successful (63 out of 96). 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

Here’s this weekend’s combo…

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

Leicester v Man City – Man City to win
Bournemouth v Tottenham – Tottenham to win
Brighton v Chelsea – Under 2.5 Goals
Crystal Palace v Southampton – Both Teams to Score
Newcastle v Aston Villa – Newcastle to win
Fulham v Everton – Draw
Liverpool v Leeds – Liverpool to win
Arsenal v Nottingham Forest – Arsenal to win

• The eight-fold acca pays 70/1 with SpreadEx  

Have a good weekend – and enjoy the football…
