Ipswich Town v Aston Villa
I am betting over 2.5 goals here today, I am a little surprised how low the goal line is here given how open most matches are in the Premier League these days. In addition to games tending to be open last season, Ipswich who were in the Championship were the division’s top scorers and their matches averaged 3.24 goals per game – the 2nd highest in the 2nd tier. They have to change their game plan and tactics since promotion but they have also faced difficult matches with games v Liverpool, away to Manchester City, and Brighton. But today they face a super open Villa team which may bring out their attacking talents a little more. Villa, who can score at both ends of the pitch, saw their games last season average 3.61 goals and their games this season have an average of 3.4 goals per match, so they are operating at the same sort of level. I think over 2.5 goals is worth a bet here and with Villa having a big Champions League night v Bayern Munich this coming week they may have one eye on that.
Betting tip: Over 2.5 Goals scored (min odds 1.80)
Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspurs
I am betting over 3.25 goals in this big match. I thought this line would be higher. Spurs are simply crazy open; they hold such a high defensive line and I think it could really play into the hands of Man United. Although United give away far too many goals themselves to consider betting them, I am happy to bet on the over goals. I can’t imagine a scenario with normal luck that either of these teams don’t score, and a game like that lends itself to betting the overs, so I recommend betting over 3.25 goals scored.
Betting tip: Over 3.25 Goals scored (min odds 1.88)
