Premier League Predictions…

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

Stat Attack: Man City Corners…

Everton v Man City – Saturday 5.30pm, Sky Sports

The Premier League stats on our members-only Across the Leagues website show Manchester City are the clear top-performing team for Most Corners bets:

Key stats:

• Man City have landed the Corners Match Bet in 23 of their last 24 games in all competitions – a run that goes back to 27th October. That stat makes City for the Most Corners a more reliable bet than backing the league leaders to win their games (19 of 24 match wins in that period)

• In their last 8 games in all comps, as well as winning the Most Corners, Man City have also covered -1, -2, -3, -4, and -5 Corner Handicaps. Winning 6+ corners than opponents, on each occasion

Man City’s Most Corners winning streak:

Most recent first

10-0 v Tottenham (home) – Premier League

6-0 v Sporting Lisbon (away) – Champions League

12-4 v Norwich (a) – Premier League

9-3 v Brentford (h) – Premier League

11-2 v Fulham (h) – FA Cup

11-2 v Southampton (a) – Premier League

9-1 v Chelsea (h) – Premier League

9-2 v Swindon (a) – FA Cup

Man City are short odds-on for the Most Corners this weekend, with the Corners Match Bet at 1/7 (1.14) with Bet365.

Man City -4 Corner Handicap is 10/11 (1.91) with Bet365.

• The -4 handicap pays out if City win 5+ corners more than Everton

Weekend Acca…

MATCH RESULTS:

When our Match Result predictions match up with Lawro’s at the BBC, my colleague Shaun & I roll these picks into an accumulator.

This weekend we have the same opinions on five of the eight games:

• SOUTHAMPTON
• TOTTENHAM
• Crystal Palace v Burnley – DRAW
• MAN UTD
• MAN CITY 

The 5-fold Acca pays 17/1 with Marathonbet, 16/1 Bet365, Betfred.

Correct Scores…

Lining up our predictions with Mark Lawrenson’s, we’ve got one matching Correct Score across the board:

• 1-1 Correct Score for Palace v Burnley is 13/2 (7.5) with Bet365

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

Enjoy the football…

Best wishes,

Oliver Upstone
