Premier League

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford Wolves have impressed so far this season, they are creating a lot of chances but are not finishing them, according to xG they should have scored 5 goals more than they should have and collected 5 more points than they have, they face a Brentford side who are similar in that respect that on the xG they should have scored more and collected a further 2 points than they have. However, I am not sure Wolves have the players at the moment to take advantage of the chances created Jimenez is coming bac from a serious…

Newcastle United v Leeds United This game should be a real fun match with plenty of goals in it, both these teams have the 2nd and 3rd highest expected goals against, 3 of Newcastle's 4 games have gone over 2.75 this season where you would have collected in full if you had bet that line in them and the 4th should have too against Villa. Leeds have a similar stat where 3 of their 4 games featuring at least 3 goals and the 4th away to Burnley should have seen at least 3 goals in it. Leeds looked very open…

Brentford vs Brighton & Hove Albion I am betting Brentford here today, Brentford have had a good solid start to the season although the fixtures have been in somewhat kind, they face a Brighton side who while i really like but have been a little disappointed to the start to the season. Brighton were beaten 2-0 at home by Everton in their latest game but were in truth well beaten and it could have been a bigger defeat truth be told, Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma who is the player that makes the seagulls tick has yet to hit the heights…

Burnley vs Leeds United I am betting Burnley +0.25 at home here v Leeds today, I am a big fan of Leeds but given how they have started the season i think -0.25 away to an experienced Premier league team is a little short in my view. Leeds was a little fortunate to get anything out of Everton last week and were tanked 5-1 by United before that while I thought Burnley were excellent in their home game v Brighton and then played well away to Liverpool last weekend, I think at home to get claim something against a Leeds…

Manchester City vs Arsenal I am betting Manchester City here -1.5, I think they will have far too much for Arsenal in today's match, Arsenal recorded a good win midweek in the league cup but that was against a 2nd string West Brom side and it is difficult to see how they can turn around the performance v Chelsea last week to compete with City. I think we will see City win this by at least a couple of goals and make the -1.5 a value bet. Manchester City -1.5 min odds 1.85 Brighton & Hove Albion vs Everton I…

Southampton vs Manchester United I think there will be goals in this match, United seem full of them at present, they beat Everton 5-0 in a friendly 2 weeks ago and then beat Leeds 5-1 last weekend, they now travel to a Southampton side who can score goals too and I would fancy Adams and Armstrong should cause United problems at the back, this match finished 3-2 last season and that was in front of a empty stadium that day too, games with fans tend to be higher scoring matches as we have seen since the return of the premier…

Liverpool vs Burnley I am betting Liverpool here -1.75, I think this season we will the better clubs like City, Liverpool, United, Chelsea return to getting more favourable decisions at home, not because of any great atmosphere at their games, actually Anfield is one of the quieter crowds in the Premier league, but i do think refs feel more pressure at these venues for various reasons. Burnley played well last weekend and were unlucky to lose to Brighton but they face a far more difficult task today and with a Liverpool team welcoming back players I think -1.75 in front…

Newcastle Utd vs West Ham I am betting over 2.5 goal here today, West ham were a very open side last season and this match finished 3-2, in fact 3 of the last 4 matches have at least 4 goals with the 4th featuring 2, so there are plenty of goals when these sides meet. Newcastle sign attacking player Joseph Wilcox who made such a positive impact last season on loan and with both sides better going forward than defending and with supporters allowed back in I expect to see goals today, i think players will initially get a lift…

Manchester United vs Leeds United I have to have a go at Leeds United +1, the word is that United players are still off-peak fitness, with Sancho and Pogba only having returned from to training and Rashford out injured, I think United may find this a very difficult match against Bielsa's energetic charges. Leeds are the fittest team in the league by some distance and at this stage of the season that is a massive advantage and I think this may be a bet that while it may not win it may be a difficult one to get beat so…

This game takes place Friday 13th August 2021, 8pm Kick off. Current odds at Bet365 1x2 are 3.9 Brentford, draw 3.3 and Arsenal 2.00. I am betting newly promoted Brentford here tonight, it is difficult to gauge exactly where Brentford at present and to a lesser extent you could say the same for Arsenal who have question marks over their front players. Brentford have a very exciting team and their striker Ivan Toney could really be in for a big season, Arsenal look certain not to start English international star Bukayo Saka and as well as that it will be…
