Football betting expert Jones Knows has shared valuable insights ahead of the weekend’s Premier League fixtures, providing a thoughtful analysis of each matchup along with predictions and betting tips.
Starting with the clash between Bournemouth and Burnley on Saturday at 3pm, Knows highlights Burnley’s disappointing away form, suggesting they often lack offensive bite. However, given Bournemouth’s concerning defensive record—having conceded 21 goals in their last nine matches—this game may present a rare opportunity for Burnley. A tempting bet on Burnley to score over 1.5 goals is available at 100/30 with Sky Bet. Jones predicts a draw, estimating a score of 2-2.
As Brighton takes on Sunderland, also at 3pm, Knows sees potential value in betting against Brighton. The team has struggled against opponents who play a more direct style, which Sunderland is likely to adopt. Brighton has only won three of their last 17 matches against teams with a lower proportion of long passes, making Sunderland’s double chance at 6/5 with Sky Bet an attractive option. He foresees a tight match, predicting a scoreline of 1-1.
In the showdown between Manchester City and West Ham, Knows recommends a bet on City winning the card race at 7/2. Observations from recent games suggest City has developed a more cynical edge to their play, successfully winning the card count in a majority of their last several outings. He predicts a solid 3-1 victory for Manchester City.
Wolves will face Brentford on Saturday, where Knows notes Wolves lead the league for fouls committed. Highlighting Matt Doherty’s intensity since his return, he finds value in betting on him to commit two or more fouls at 5/4 with Sky Bet. He anticipates a close game with Brentford edging it 2-1.
As Tottenham prepares to host Liverpool in a high-profile evening match, Knows mentions Tottenham’s struggles in the attacking department, which may play into Liverpool’s hands. A compelling bet is Liverpool to win while keeping the total under 3.5 goals at 21/10. His prediction for this contest is a Liverpool win at 2-0.
In another evening clash, Arsenal will visit Everton. Knows favors a bet on Arsenal to win while keeping the total under 3.5 goals at 6/5. He observes that Arsenal matches have averaged a modest total of 2.7 goals across competitions this season, advocating for a disciplined approach in this match. He expects a narrow win of 1-0 for the Gunners.
Leeds will clash with Crystal Palace on Saturday night, and Jones sees a scheduling advantage for Leeds. He believes the physical demands of their opponents’ busy schedule may hinder Palace. Leeds at 8/5 represents an appealing wager, with Knows predicting a home victory with a score of 3-1.
Looking ahead to Sunday’s match between Aston Villa and Manchester United, Knows is optimistic about an open and chaotic encounter, especially if one team takes an early lead. His best bet is for both teams to score and for the total to exceed 2.5 goals at 10/11, with a final score prediction of 3-2 in favor of Villa.
On Monday night, Fulham will host Nottingham Forest. Following a disappointing cup exit, Silva’s position at Fulham appears increasingly tenuous, casting doubt on the team’s performances. Conversely, Forest is gaining momentum under manager Sean Dyche, making them an appealing option for a win at 2/1 with Sky Bet. Jones predicts a 2-1 victory for Nottingham Forest.
In summary, Jones’ best trebles for the weekend include Leeds to win, both teams to score and over 2.5 goals in the Aston Villa vs. Manchester United match, as well as Nottingham Forest to win, offering a promising combined bet at 13/1 with Sky Bet.
