Premier League Predictions…

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

Stat Attack: Count the Corners at the Etihad…

Manchester City v Wolves
Sat 12.30pm – BT Sport

The stats suggest we could see a very dominant Corners score from the home team here…

• Man City have won the Most Corners in 100% of Premier League home games this season (7 games out of 7) 

• City are ranked no.1 in the league overall, landing Most Corners bets in 14 out of 15 games, home & away (93%)

• With a total of 56 corner kicks won from 7 home games, Pep Guardiola’s side are also top of the pile for the highest number of Corners For

Previous Premier League history v Wolves at the Etihad stadium also points to a scary flag-kick challenge for the visitors…

2020/21:
Man City 4 Wolves 1 – CORNERS = 10-2

2019/20:
Man City 0 Wolves 2 – CORNERS = 9-1

2018/19:
Man City 3 Wolves 0 – CORNERS = 12-1

The question is, how best to profit from these turbo-charged City trends?

In the Most Corners (or ‘Corners Match Bet’) markets, the odds are prohibitively short. With Man City priced at just 1/20 (1.05) with the likes of Skybet, Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook.

For more like a double-your-money return, Man City -5 Corner Handicap pays out if City win 6+ corners more than Wolves. The Etihad club have landed that bet in 5 of their last 6 Premier League games.

• Man City -5 Corner Handicap is 5/4 (2.25) with Bet365, 6/5 (2.2) Skybet, 11/10 (2.1) Paddy Power, Betfair Sportsbook, 21/20 (2.05) William Hill

Weekend Accas…

Match Results:

When our Match Result predictions match up, my colleague Shaun & I roll usually these picks into an accumulator. However, this weekend our 5 matching games are all very short, odds-on favourites (Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd). And measly odds of little more than 3/1 (4.0) don’t appeal.

Total Goals…

There are 5 games where we have an Under/ Over 2.5 Goals match-up in our predictions, and the odds come out much more exciting here:

Arsenal v Southampton – UNDER 2.5
Chelsea v Leeds – OVER 2.5
Liverpool v Aston Villa – OVER 2.5
Norwich v Man Utd – UNDER 2.5
Crystal Palace v Everton – UNDER 2.5

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

Correct Scores…

We’ve got a clean sweep of predictions for the Norwich v Man Utd Correct Score, with Lawro also plumping for the 2-0 away win…

• Man Utd to win 2-0 is 7/1 with Bet365

We’ll be back on Tuesday with our next set of predictions for you. Ready for a full midweek round of Premier League games, as the festive fixture list begins to gather pace.

Enjoy the football…

Best wishes,

Oliver Upstone
