Premier League Betting Tips – Matchday 12, Saturday

Premier League Betting Tips – Matchday 12, Saturday


There are some big games at both ends of the Premier League this weekend and we have you covered with a five-match accumulator for Saturday's action.

- Wolves or Draw double chance 

- Arsenal – Arsenal half-time/full-time result

- Crystal Palace vs Everton under 2.5 goals 

- Manchester United to win and under 3.5 goals

- Newcastle to win 



Wolves vs Tottenham

Tottenham failed to regain top spot in the Premier League on Monday night as they crashed to a 4-1 home loss against Chelsea, and their title challenge could be set for another hiccup at Molineux.

Spurs finished with nine men against the Blues which cost them that night and will prove costly again at Wolves with red-card recipients Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie suspended.

With Micky van de Ven picking up an injury against Chelsea, Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou will need to find an entirely new central-defensive pairing, while Richarlison, Ivan Perisic and Manor Solomon are also out injured, and key midfielder James Maddison is a doubt.

All of which is music to the ears of Gary O’Neil and Wolves, who were proving tough to beat until they succumbed at previously winless Sheffield United on Saturday. 

And that's the same Wolves who in the previous four matches had beaten Manchester City and drawn with both Aston Villa and Newcastle.

Those results would suggest O'Neil's men raise their game for the big boys so the Wolves or draw double chance makes appeal against an injury-hit Spurs.

WOLVES OR DRAW DOUBLE CHANCE

 

Arsenal vs Burnley

Mikel Arteta has had a week to calm down after his rant at Newcastle last week and can turn his attention to outclassing Burnley.

This ought to be one of Arsenal's more routine wins of the season against a side stuck in the bottom three and on a four-game losing streak in the Premier League.

The Gunners' last home league game ended in a 5-0 thrashing of Sheffield United and it would be no surprise to see Arsenal winning by a similar scoreline against the Clarets, hence avoiding Arteta the displeasure of being at the mercy of VAR again.

Arsenal have had less than three days to recover from their Champions League clash with Sevilla, though there was no travelling involved so they have no excuse should they slip up on Saturday.

Vincent Kompany's Championship winners have enjoyed three road wins this season – at Nottingham Forest and Luton in the Premier League as well as at Salford in the League Cup – but they are also on a run of five straight losses in all competitions and the goals have dried up. 

Arsenal should win this with ease.

ARSENAL / ARSENAL - HALFTIME / FULLTIME

Crystal Palace vs Everton

The league standings don’t lie – especially the overs/unders table which has Crystal Palace and Everton rooted at the foot of it.

Seven of Palace's 11 matches have produced two goals or less and six of Everton's 11 have done likewise. It may seem obvious, but with two teams defensively sound and offensively limited, under 2.5 goals looks the bet.

Palace have failed to score in three of their five home games this term and life has been a struggle without Wilfried Zaha and Michael Olise, the former sold and the latter yet to feature this season.

Everton had one point from their first possible 15 but have taken ten from the next possible 18, suggesting that it's finally coming together under Sean Dyche.

They aren't the easiest on the eye but they are solid, especially away from home where their sole defeat in six games in all competitions came at rivals Liverpool.

The last meeting between these sides at Selhurst Park in April ended 0-0 and it would be no great surprise if that scoreline were to be repeated.

UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Manchester United vs Luton

The latest episode in the hugely entertaining soap opera that is Manchester United’s season is a showdown with Luton at Old Trafford, a match that once upon a time would have been a home banker but now resembles a banana skin.

These are not happy times at United where results are mixed, performances are worse and even a visit from Luton will have under-fire boss Erik ten Hag feeling the heat.

Last weekend, when the pressure was high on the Dutchman, the Red Devils left it late to steal a nervy 1-0 win at Fulham and it would be in keeping with their season if this game wasn't every bit as edgy.

Luton will feel confident after gallantly drawing 1-1 with Liverpool at Kenilworth Road last Sunday. They only have six points but are improving week on week after losing their opening four Premier League matches.

United's relentless attacking should see them break the Hatters down eventually but they have failed to score more than two goals in any of their last eight in the league, so expect Luton to turn it into an awkward afternoon.

MAN UNITED TO WIN AND UNDER 3.5 GOALS

Bournemouth vs Newcastle

Eddie Howe returns to the club where he holds hero's status and the Newcastle boss can enjoy a happy homecoming.

Howe spent over 20 years at Dean Court as a player and then a manager, leading them into the Premier League in 2015 against all odds.

That they are still there owes much to the platform Howe laid but now he is using his skillset to improve Newcastle while the club he left behind in 2020 flounders, camped in the bottom three and set to still be there after this weekend.

It has been a mixed week for the Magpies, beating Arsenal 1-0 to get back in the title fight before slipping to a 2-0 loss at Borussia Dortmund to leave their Champions League future in jeopardy.

Bournemouth are no Dortmund though and while the Toon have picked up injuries they still boast more than enough talent to be able to pick off a Cherries' side who were on a seven-game home winless streak before pipping relegation rivals Burnley 2-1.

Round off the accumulator with a straight win bet on the visitors.
