Football betting expert Jones Knows has shared his insights ahead of Sunday’s matches, predicting losses for both Liverpool and Manchester United.
In the much-anticipated clash between Leeds and Manchester United at 12:30 pm, home side Leeds seem poised for victory. Leeds manager Daniel Farke’s strategic decision to rest key players during a recent 0-0 draw with Liverpool indicates a calculated approach, gearing up for this crucial match. Historical trends suggest that United’s away vulnerabilities could be exploited, especially given their poor record of not keeping a clean sheet in 14 away games in the Premier League. Leeds are seen as a strong option with a draw no bet priced at even odds.
Predicted Score: Leeds 2, Manchester United 1.
Later in the day, Everton will host Brentford at 3 pm. Brentford’s Kevin Schade has emerged as a key player, netting seven goals this season after stepping up in the absence of Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo. The club’s knack for nurturing raw talent has paid off, and Schade’s performance is likely to attract interest among goalscorer markets, currently priced at 11/4 with Sky Bet.
Predicted Score: Everton 1, Brentford 1.
Also at 3 pm, Fulham faces Liverpool, who are currently unbeaten in eight games across all competitions. However, Liverpool’s recent performances remain inconsistent, suggesting they could struggle against a competitive Fulham side. The odds for Fulham with a draw no bet at 7/4 add to their appeal.
Predicted Score: Fulham 2, Liverpool 1.
Newcastle will take on Crystal Palace in another significant matchup at 3 pm. Crystal Palace has been struggling defensively, conceding an average of two goals per game in their last six outings. Newcastle, known for their attacking prowess at home, has consistently scored two or more goals in their latest matches. A home win with Newcastle to score over 1.5 goals is a compelling prospect, priced at 10/11.
Predicted Score: Newcastle 3, Crystal Palace 1.
As Tottenham welcomes Sunderland, there’s concern about the home side’s recent attacking form, exemplified by a lackluster 0-0 draw against Brentford. The away fans’ “boring, boring Tottenham” chant speaks volumes about the team’s rhythm and confidence issues. A repeat of a goalless draw seems plausible, with odds of 10/1 on the scoreline.
Predicted Score: Tottenham 0, Sunderland 0.
Lastly, Manchester City takes on Chelsea at 5:30 pm. City’s increasing card count, with 14 bookings in their last seven home games, indicates a tactical shift under manager Pep Guardiola. Chelsea’s style of play could provoke further fouls, especially from their skilled ball-carriers who excel at drawing contacts. The odds for City to receive over 1.5 cards are set at 10/11.
Predicted Score: Manchester City 2, Chelsea 0.
This week promises to offer thrilling match-ups that could affect the standings significantly as teams look to build momentum heading into the middle of the season.
