Premier League

Tottenham vs West Ham: Bet on Goals

• Date: 19/10/2024
• Kick-off: 12:30 PM
• Stadium: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Tottenham suffered a shockingly 3-2 away defeat to Brighton before the international break, despite Spurs taking a 2-nil lead at the end of the first half of the match. The league defeat ended Angelos Postecoglou's incredible five match winning streak in all competitions, and he will be hoping for a quick response from his side. 

On the other hand, Julen Lopetegui secured his second win and ended a four match winless run by heavily thrashing Ipswich Town 4-1 at home courtesy of goals from Michail Antonio, Mohammed Kudus, Jarrod Bowen, and Lucas Paqueta. 

Prediction: Ange Postecoglou is known for his incredible high defensive line, ensuring Spurs commit plenty of players in the frontline, and this played a major role in their 3-2 defeat at the Amex Stadium. Both teams have also scored in each of the last three consecutive meetings between the two sides. So we predict both teams to score and Over2.5 goals.

Fulham vs Aston Villa: Villa are the Favourites

• Date: 19/10/2024
• Kick-off: 15:00
• Stadium: Craven Cottage

Fulham enjoyed a five-match league unbeaten run before the Cottagers left the Etihad Stadium with a frustrating 3-2 defeat to Manchester City. The defeats against City could have taken a new shape if Fulham Adama Traore had taken his two golden opportunities. However, in each of Fulham's last six matches, the results have produced plenty of goals. 

On the other hand, Aston Villa were held to a frustrating goalless draw at home against Manchester United despite coming into the game with a victory over German Giants Bayern Munich in round two of the Champions League.

Prediction: We considered Aston Villa our favorites in this match as the Villians have won each of their last four consecutive meetings with Fulham in all competitions. 

Manchester United vs Brentford: United to Spark back to form

• Date: 19/10/2024
• Kick-off: 15:00
• Stadium: Old Trafford

Manchester United will be desperate to get back to winning ways after extending their winless run to five matches across all competitions in their last match before the international break. The Red Devil showed signs of improvement in their goalless draw against Aston Villa at Villa Park, and head coach Erik Ten Hag, who is under intense pressure from fans and pundits, will hope to see his side compete at the highest level at home in this match.

Brentford have shown some brilliant performance this season, as they made it four consecutive league games they took the lead in the 90 seconds of the match. The Bees before the October international break demolished winless Wolverhampton at home 5-3. 

Prediction: Manchester United have a strong historical record against Brentford in their last three meetings at Old Trafford, so we expect United to get a hard fought win in this while both teams score.

Bournemouth vs Arsenal: Gunners on Fire

• Date: 19/10/2024
• Kick-off: 17:30
• Stadium: Vitality Stadium

Bournemouth, before the international break, had been in a mixed run of form in the league as the Cherries suffered three defeats while winning the other two games. The Cherries were outclassed by newly promoted Leicester City at the Kings Power Stadium, with the match ending 1-0. However, their home form has been more encouraging, and they will be looking to capitalize on it. 

Arsenal have been in perfect form since the start of the new campaign, despite playing against Manchester City and Tottenham. The Gunners kept pace with Liverpool and Manchester City before the break as they maintained their phenomenal unbeaten run in their last against Southampton at the Emirates Stadium. 

Prediction: Arsenal are currently on fire at the moment, and considering the fact that they have beaten Bournemouth in each of their previous five matches, we predict a win for Arsenal and over 2.5 goals.

Wolves vs Manchester City: Champions to Outshine Rock Bottom

• Date: 20/10/2024
• Kick-off: 14:00
• Stadium: Molineux Stadium

Wolves enter the contest sitting rock bottom of the Premier League as they are yet to win any of their seven league matches, picking up only one point from a possible 21 points. They continued their horrific form before the international break making it five consecutive losing runs. Wolves were humbled and their defense vulnerability was exposed as they were beaten 5-3 by Brentford.

Manchester City continued to experience defensive problems following their defensive midfielder Rodri injury against Arsenal. The Citizen came from a goal behind to defeat Fulham 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium. City have conceded first in three of their last four league games. 

Prediction: City are the heavy favorites in this match, and we back them up to get a win against Rock Bottom Wolverhampton. However, City have conceded a goal in each of their last seven league matches. Therefore, we predict City to win and Both Teams to Score.
