As the Premier League action heats up this weekend, betting expert Jones Knows has highlighted several key matchups, offering insights on potential outcomes and betting strategies.
Starting with the clash between Bournemouth and Aston Villa, Knows believes Aston Villa presents a strong betting opportunity at odds of 17/10 with Sky Bet. Bournemouth’s form has seen them win just one of their last six home matches, suggesting they are struggling. Villa’s manager, Unai Emery, has a successful history against Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola, winning three of their previous five encounters. With the team’s confidence and game plan, Villa looks poised to secure an important victory.
In the Fulham vs Everton matchup, Knows notes that Fulham has underperformed against weaker teams, with only four wins from 13 matches against those in the bottom seven. Everton, meanwhile, has the Premier League’s highest number of draws this season, which could contribute to a stalemate, leaving a score prediction of 1-1.
Brentford’s confidence is on the rise as they head into their match against Ipswich. Having achieved notable success in away games, including 19 points and 18 goals this season, Brentford is favored to continue this trend. Knows suggests betting on players Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo to contribute goals or assists, given their impressive combined record of 45 goal involvements this season. His score prediction for this match stands at 1-3 in favor of Brentford.
Turning to the Southampton vs Manchester City fixture, Southampton is the lowest-scoring team in the league, which makes them vulnerable against the formidable Manchester City. With City’s solid defensive form, they are predicted to win comfortably, and Knows anticipates a score of 0-2.
Further matchups include Nottingham Forest taking on Leicester, with Knows considering a bet on Jamie Vardy to score and potentially receive a card at intriguing odds of 18/1. Meanwhile, the clash between Newcastle and Chelsea promises intensity, with a projected score of 1-2, where Enzo Fernandez is highlighted for likely disciplinary action.
As the weekend approaches, these predictions provide insights for fans and bettors alike, emphasizing the excitement and unpredictable nature of the Premier League while highlighting players to watch in specific matchups.
