Premier League Predictions…

Here are our predictions for this week…

Stat Attack: The M23 Derby…

Brighton v Crystal Palace

Tonight 8pm – Sky Sports

There’s no love lost between the Seagulls and the Eagles…

Here are some standout stats and trends from recent clashes in the M23 derby between Brighton and Crystal Palace:

Cards & Bookings stats:

• Bets on Brighton to receive the Most Cards or Most Booking Points have paid out in 6 of the last 7 meetings. Including 2 Red Cards for the Seagulls

William Hill are 13/10 (2.3) for Brighton to be the team with the Most Booking Points tonight. Skybet are 6/5 (2.2). In their 0 Card Handicap market, Bet365 also have the hosts at 6/5.

Cards & Booking Pts betting explained here >>

Goals and Scorers:

The Goals stats are also of interest in this one:

• Both Teams to Score has paid out in 7 of the last 8 matches between Brighton & Palace

• The last 3 encounters have seen a goal scored in the 90th minute or later. And each of the last 7 instalments of the M23 derby have seen a goal scored on 70+ mins

• Brighton striker Neal Maupay has a handy habit of scoring late goals. He got the injury-time equaliser in a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture in September. So far this season, 5 of Maupay’s 7 league goals have paid out as the Last Goalscorer

Both Teams to Score is 10/11 (1.91) with Bet365 and in general.

Neal Maupay – Last Goalscorer is 4/1 (5.0) with Bet365.

The stats tables on our members-only Across the Leagues website show that Maupay is one of the top-rated players in the Premier League this season for Last Goalscorer bets:

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 3 of the 10 games:

• Liverpool v Brentford – DRAW
• WEST HAM
• Tottenham v Arsenal – DRAW

The treble pays 30/1 with Boylesports and Betfred.

Total Goals…

There are 4 games where we have an Under/ Over 2.5 Goals match-up:

• Burnley v Leicester – UNDER 2.5
• Norwich v Everton – UNDER 2.5
• Wolves v Southampton – UNDER 2.5
• Aston Villa v Man Utd – OVER 2.5

The 4-fold Goals acca pays 9/1 with Bet365 and BetVictor.

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

Enjoy the football…

Best wishes,

Oliver Upstone
