Bournemouth vs Brentford - BBTS
In their last 5 meetings only one game has been a BTTS no, historically this is a high scoring fixture with a whopping 18 goals being scored between the sides in the last 5 so another good bet might be over 2.5 goals if you fancy an alternate angle.
Form wise both sides are putting in good results recently which adds to the credit of a BBTS in this fixture, Bournemouth have seemingly found their way out of the mid season slump with the side unbeaten since early January. Brentford can't boast being unbeaten for quite as long having suffered defeat against Brighton just two weeks ago but the fact that they're still very much in the picture for European football next season speaks volumes.
Furthermore, we cannot underestimate the quality that both sides possess when it comes to attacking, the main danger men will likely be Igor Thiago for Brentford and Eli Kroupi Junior for Bournemouth.
Aston Villa vs Chelsea - Over 2.5 Match Goals
Not a single game in the last 5 meetings between Villa and Chelsea has been under 2.5 match goals no matter whether the game is played at Stamford Bridge or at Villa Park. This is the main driver behind this prediction however there's a lot more evidence to back it up than just this.
Stylistically this game looks set to be ripe for counter attacking opportunities which both sides thrive off of and in the early stages at the very least there should be a lot of open space that both sides players thrive off of.
Form wise we know that there has been a disparity in terms of form in front of the opposition net, Villa only have 4 goals in their last 5 whilst Chelsea have managed 11, this bodes well for a lop sided score but defensive records also help our assessment. Chelsea have only kept 1 clean sheet whilst conceding to Burnley and Wolves in their last 5, with Villa being in the same situation with only 1 clean sheet and conceding 2 to Wolves.
Wolves vs Liverpool - Over 2.5 Match Goals
This is probably one of the easiest predictions to justify out of this ACCA guide, Wolves are dead last in the Premier League table and have shown a weak defence for the majority of the season as have their upcoming opponents Liverpool.
What adds to the likelihood of over 2.5 goals is the fact that Wolves may be launching somewhat of a comeback resurgence if their result against Villa last weekend was anything to go by.
We already knew Liverpool had the capacity to score goals but if Wolves are firing as well that increases the odds of a goal fest even more, historically as well only 1 of the sides last 5 meetings has ended in under 2.5 match goals and that includes earlier in the season when Wolves looked at their worst.
Newcastle vs Man Utd - Man Utd Double Chance
To pretty much everyone's surprise Man Utd have turned around their form big time and are now one of the best performing sides in the league following the departure of Amorim. An uptick in form following Amorim's sacking wasn't a shock to anyone but the fact that they went from one of the worst to one of the best sides in the league in what seemed like a matter of weeks certainly was.
Form wise it's almost polar opposite results for the sides, United are flying and have won 6 out of their last 7 in the league meanwhile Newcastle seemingly can't buy a win domestically with only 1 out of their last 7 league games has seen victory for the side.
You may be wondering how with such a disparity in form it's not worth taking the whole punt and going for a United win, we advise picking the middle route option and covering a draw as well purely due to the fact United frankly have a very poor record at St James' Park being winless there since 2020. With this in mind covering multiple angles on a positive result for United as form suggests will be the case is the smarter option.
Spurs vs Palace - BTTS
Both teams are showing poor form, neither seems to be able to defend but they can sneak in with a goal or two and still possess attacking quality despite how awful they look as teams right now, naturally then everything points towards BTTS.
Spurs have not won a Premier League game since December and genuinely look like relegation candidates, that said they have scored 5 in their last 5 and it's pretty much the same story for Palace, only 2 wins since the new years but 6 in their last 5 league games.
At the back it's tough viewing for both clubs, Palace have kept 2 clean sheets but have also conceded 6 across the other 3 games including somehow conceding 3 to Burnley of all teams. Spurs are probably unsurprisingly even worse defensively, they haven't kept a single clean sheet in their last 5 whilst they have conceded an astonishing 12.
Brighton vs Arsenal - Over 2.5 Match Goals
Arsenal appeared to be waning under the pressure of the title race with back to back draws to Brentford and Wolves however a huge win in the North London Derby and a win over London rivals Chelsea on Sunday may well have put the kick back into the side to push on for the title.
That said they have appeared faulty at the back and that's where Brighton come in to potentially score against the leaders, over 2.5 match goals covers a range of possibilities here, most likely Arsenal win on the road but this may come in a close 2-1 or they really have kicked into gear and deliver a statement win. Of course they may also lose or draw but either one is highly likely to come in at over 2.5 goals.
Furthermore, Brighton's home record isn't exactly looking solid recently with the club only having 2 wins out of the last 5 home games against generally midtable sides.
Man City vs Forest - Man City to Win
It's Man City at home in a title race facing one of the sides facing in a relegation scrap, we have enough historical evidence to suggest how this match is going to go, especially if Erling Haaland is back. To just use this as justification would be very poor to provide tips on however so we aren't going to do that and I will provide actual substance as to why a City win is virtually nailed on in this game.
First of all, Man City are in absolutely flying form they have won 5 of their last 6 league games including an incredible comeback to defeat Liverpool away at Anfield which is one that pretty much everyone thought they would trip up in.
Secondly, Forest have only ever beaten City once in all competitions and that was prior to their form falling off of a cliff when they ended up with a European finish but even this game was a slim 1-0 result.
Lastly, Forest are struggling in the league hugely, their last win came back in late January and they are struggling both offensively and defensively, they have some players with exceptional quality but none of them seem to have really kicked on so far this season and so we can't expect them to drag the side out of the mud here.
