Midweek stats…
There’s a full set of midweek Premier League games to look forward to over the next two nights. Along with a selection of fixtures in the Football League and the Scottish Premiership…
Plenty of stats to get through with the immediate matches in mind. I’ll update you with an overall Stats Review later in the week, taking stock of the current top trends displaying on our website.
And of course, the site is up-to-date right now with all the latest Head-2-Heads and League Stats tables, to assist you with your bet selections.
Here’s my take on the top match-ups for tonight...
Huddersfield v Wolves
Premier League
Tuesday, 7.45pm
Match odds: Huddersfield 4/1 (5.00), Draw 12/5 (3.40), Wolves 20/23 (1.87)
Back in November, Huddersfield turned Wolves over 2-0 at Molineaux. That’s about the only piece of form that a Huddersfield backer could hold onto going into tonight’s game…
Wolves are having an excellent first season back in the Premier League, nicely placed in 8th in the table, and also through to the FA Cup quarter finals. They’ve only lost one of their last 10 games in all competitions and that was Away at the champions, Man City.
Wolves have won Away at Tottenham and Everton since Christmas, and have found the net in 7 of 8 road trips in the league going back to October.
Huddersfield are the lowest scorers in the Premier League, and sit rock bottom of the table, 14 points from safety. They’ve lost 5 in a row, 12 of their last 13 overall – and 7 in a row at Home. And the Terriers have failed to score in 5 of their last 6 outings.
That’s dire form. It’s not often we go for a straight-up Away Win. But the stats & form make this is a solid selection...
- Wolves to win @ 20/23 (1.87) with Boylesports, BetVictor, Marathonbet, 888 Sport, Unibet, NetBet, 10Bet, 17/20 (1.85) Bet365, Betfred, Betway
QPR v Leeds United
Championship
Tuesday, 7.45pm – Sky Sports
Match odds: QPR 3/1 (4.00), Draw 13/5 (3.60), Leeds 20/21 (1.95)
The stats in this division have proved reliable in recent weeks with nine of our last 10 Championship picks going to form…
Promotion-chasing Leeds are the favourites in tonight’s live TV game, but QPR beat them 2-1 at Loftus Road in the FA Cup last month and the stats say Over 2.5 Goals again…
QPR are ranked 4th in the Championship for Over 2.5 Goals bets, and only two sides have a higher Away strike-rate for that bet than Leeds.
Over 2.5 Goals has paid out in 7 of QPR’s last 8 Home games, and in 4 of Leeds’ last 5 Away. That’s a strong match-up on the Home v Away form, backed up by the overall season standings.
And QPR in particular have had some real ding-dong affairs lately with their last 3 league games at Loftus Road ending 2-3, 3-4 and 1-4.
- Over 2.5 Goals @ 17/20 (1.85) with Paddy Power, Betfair Sportsbook, 888 Sport, Unibet, Sportingbet, 5/6 (1.83) in general
Stats Picks…
In summary, here are today’s picks at the best prices:
Huddersfield v Wolves:
QPR v Leeds United:
Back tomorrow with a focus on the standout stats for Wednesday’s six Premier League games…
Best wishes,
