Back high-flying Seagulls to overcome defensive frailties and win
Brighton sit fifth in the Premier League table and just a point off second after a fine return of six wins and four draws from their first dozen matches under ex-St. Pauli boss Fabian Hurzeler.
The Seagulls are 4/11 for the home win over rock-bottom Southampton, which looks fair given the Saints have lost 10 of their first 12 top-flight assignments. However, better value can be found in backing the hosts to win in a match where both teams score at 6/4.
Russel Martin’s visitors have scored in seven of their last 10 league games and managed to find the net against both Arsenal and Liverpool. Meanwhile both sides have scored in nine of Brighton’s 12 league games this season including seven of their last eight.
Tip: Brighton to beat Southampton & both teams to score @ 6/4
Brentford’s fine form to continue in typically entertaining Gtech style
Thomas Frank’s Brentford sit top of the Premier League’s home form table with five wins and a draw from their last six outings at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Home win odds of 4/6 for the visit of Leicester City look fair if not enticing in what will be Ruud van Nistelrooy’s first game in the Foxes dugout following Steve Cooper’s sacking..
Leicester have lost four of their last five and it’s unlikely they’ll be coming away from the Bees’ stronghold with any points given the recent form of Thomas Frank’s side in west London.
Better value can be found by adding on the over 2.5 goals kicker to the home win. Every single one of the Bees’ Gtech victories this term have seen at least three scored, while all bar one have seen four or more find the net.
Tip: Brentford to beat Leicester & over 2.5 goals @ 13/10
Liverpool a no-brainer at odds-against to compound City suffering
Manchester City will go into a Premier League game as underdogs for the first time since April 2017 when they play league leaders Liverpool at Anfield. They lost their last outing as EPL match betting outsiders and they’re expected to do likewise against Arne Slot’s side.
Arguably it’s surprising the hosts are as big as 21/20. They’ve won 14 of their last 15 in all competitions culminating in a 2-0 midweek win over European champions Real Madrid.
City meanwhile are winless in six outings (L5 D1), in which time they’ve shipped a sorry 17 goals and they come into this pivotal clash having blown a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 at home to Feyenoord on Tuesday night.
