Chelsea v Leeds betting tips and picks, odd is 2.43

Chelsea are in dominant form and starting to look like real contenders for the title as they remain undefeated in eight in the league. Their midweek demolition of Sevilla will have only boosted their confidence. Despite Leeds coming into the game off the back of a 1-0 win over Everton, we think the Blues will have too much for them on Saturday.

Frank Lampard’s men demolished Sevilla 4-0 away from home in the Champions League on Wednesday, meaning the Blues haven’t lost a game since exiting the EFL Cup on penalties against Tottenham at the end of September.

In fact, Chelsea haven’t lost a match in normal time since Liverpool won 2-0 at Stamford Bridge 15 games ago in a run which has seen the Londoners climb to third in the Premier League table and secure their place in the Champions League knockout rounds.

They face an inconsistent but dangerous Leeds United side on Saturday, with Marcelo Bielsa’s men currently sat in 12th with 14 points from 10 games so far. The Whites have beaten Everton 1-0 and drawn 0-0 with Arsenal in their last two games, recovering well from consecutive 4-1 defeats to Crystal Palace and Leicester City.

  • Chelsea have won 7 of their last 8 matches (all competitions).
  • Chelsea have scored in both halves in 7 of their last 8 matches (all competitions).
  • Leeds haven’t won at Stamford Bridge since 1999 (English Premier League).

Chelsea have kept 5 clean sheets in their last 7 home matches (all competitions).

Chelsea have won 3 of their last 4 matches (English Premier League).

Leeds have lost 2 of their last 4 matches (English Premier League).

West Ham v Aston Villa, betting tips, odd is 2.60

Aston Villa travel to the London Stadium for a Premier League game with West Ham United on Monday night. The visitors are seventh in the table with 15 points from eight games. Their hosts, meanwhile, are a point behind in eighth place having played one game more.

A Villa has won 55% of their last 20 home league games and West Ham has lost 45% of their last 20 away league games.

The last time West Ham won away in the league was 1 games ago against Watford. The last time A Villa lost a home league game was 2 matches ago against Bournemouth.

Of the 11 league games A Villa has won at home, they scored first 9 times. Of the 9 away games West Ham has lost, they conceded first 8 times.

  • Aston Villa have scored in seven of their eight Premier League games this season.
  • Villa have scored seven goals in three away games so far this season.
  • West Ham have lost just one of their last seven top flight games, including victories against Leicester and Wolves.
  • Aston Villa have lost three of their last four league matches.

Napoli v As Roma, betting tips, odds is 2.08

On Thursday, the Partenopei were victorious in the Europa League against Rijeka, shortly after the news of the Argentinian maestro’s untimely death broke. With qualification now one step away, Gennaro Gattuso‘s squad are in a strong position in continental competition, but in the league they are in need of a tonic after losing 3-1 at home to relentless leaders Milan last week.

Roma are aiming to make their return to the Champions League, with a Europa League outing on the horizon for them. However, this clash will be the main priority for the Giallorossi, who have won back to back Serie A games to put themselves in a decent position domestically. While they may be seven points shy of the leaders, Roma are at least among the top four once again.

  • Napoli host Roma in Serie A on Sunday
  • Match is being played at Stadio San Paolo at 7.45pm GMT
  • Napoli have won 3 of their last 4 matches
  • Roma have won their last 5 matches

  • Roma have won by 2+ goals in their last 5 matches (all competitions).
  • Roma are undefeated their last 11 matches (all competitions).
  • Roma have kept 5 clean sheets in their last 6 matches (all competitions).
  • Roma have averaged 0.35 expected goals against in their last 3 matches (Serie A).

Arsenal v Wolves betting tips, odds is 2.65

Arsenal is probably staring at yet another dismal season after inconsistent performances throughout the season until now. They started off with wins against Fulham and West Ham but faced their first loss against Liverpool.

Arsenal’s highest scorer Aubameyang hasn’t really come out of the blocks after drawing a blank against Leeds in the last outing. He has 5 goals and an assist in 15 outings for the team in the premier league. He will have to up his game and has 76.1% pass success along with 1.4 aerials won per game. Apart from this, he is involved in 1.4 shots on target and 1.1 key passes per game so far.

After sharing the spoils with Leeds United at Elland Road, Arsenal will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they host Wolverhampton at their Emirates Stadium on Matchday 10.

Arsenal have won 50% of their last 20 home league games and Wolves have lost 30% of their last 20 away league games.

The last time Wolves won away in the league was 2 games ago against Leeds. The last time Arsenal lost a home league game was 1 match ago against A Villa.

Arsenal last kept a clean sheet at home 8 games ago, and have kept 5 clean sheets in their last 20 home games. Wolves last failed to score away in the league 1 games ago and have missed the net in 6 of their last 20 away league games.

Of the 10 league games Arsenal has won at home, they scored first 8 times. Of the 6 away games Wolves has lost, they conceded first 6 times.

  • Arsenal failed to score in four of their last five Premier League games.
  • The Gunners haven’t scored from open play in 450 minutes of top flight football.
  • Wolves failed to register in two of their last three away assignments.
  • Both Arsenal and Wolves have yet to crack the 10 goal ceiling this season.

West Brom v Sheffield United, betting tips, odd is 2.55

The season is still very much in its infancy, but one or two nerves have just started to permeate the West Brom and Sheffield United dugouts, with both clubs yet to taste victory this campaign, the only two remaining clubs in the Premier League without a win.

Both sides are really struggling for chances, goals and results. West Brom coach Slaven Bilic needs to decide whether to continue with a back five or try to play more attacking players in order to try to win this match.

West Brom have won 35% of their last 20 home league games and Sheff Utd have lost 50% of their last 20 away league games.

The last time Sheff Utd won away in the league was 11 games ago against C Palace. The last time West Brom lost a home league game was 1 match ago against Spurs.

West Brom last kept a clean sheet at home 2 games ago, and have kept 6 clean sheets in their last 20 home games. Sheff Utd last failed to score away in the league 4 games ago and have missed the net in 8 of their last 20 away league games.

Of the 7 league games West Brom has won at home, they scored first 7 times. Of the 10 away games Sheff Utd has lost, they conceded first 7 times.

  • West Brom have drawn 3 of their 9 matches this season (lost 6) (Premier League).
  • Sheffield United have lost 10 of their last 12 matches (Premier League)
  • Sheffield United have seen under 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 9 matches (Premier League).

Crystal Palace v Newcastle betting tips, odd is 2.60

Crystal Palace have a right to go into Friday’s fixture with Newcastle feeling a little aggrieved.

The Eagles rounded-off last weekend’s action by losing 1-0 at Burnley in the Monday Night Football, while the Magpies kicked things off by going down 2-0 at home to Chelsea; four days’ rest meets six-and-a-half.

But so poor have Steve Bruce’s team been this season, scabbing their way to the vast majority of their 11 points, that I’m happy to write-off any extra fatigue as inconsequential when it comes to predicting the outcome.

C Palace have won 35% of their last 20 home league games and Newcastle have lost 50% of their last 20 away league games.

The last time Newcastle won away in the league was 4 games ago against West Ham. The last time C Palace lost a home league game was 3 matches ago against Everton.

C Palace last kept a clean sheet at home 4 games ago, and have kept 5 clean sheets in their last 20 home games. Newcastle last failed to score away in the league 1 games ago and have missed the net in 9 of their last 20 away league games.

Of the 7 league games C Palace has won at home, they scored first 6 times. Of the 10 away games Newcastle has lost, they conceded first 8 times.

  • Crystal Palace face Newcastle United in the Premier League on Friday
  • The match is being played at Selhurst Park at 20:00 GMT
  • Crystal Palace have won 2 of their last 4 matches
  • Newcastle have lost 3 of their last 5 matches

C Palace have scored 2 goals or more in 4 of their last 20 home games. Newcastle have conceded at least 2 goals in 9 of their last 20 away games.

Rangers v Benfica betting tips, odd is 2.10

Rangers will be looking to go one better on Thursday having been held to a draw with Benfica three weeks ago. Steven Gerrard’s side managed to throw away a 3-1 lead in Lisbon. The Scottish league leaders will fancy their chance, even more, this time around given Benfica’s long list of absentees.

Rangers let a 3-1 lead slip in Lisbon when these two sides met for the first time, but we think that Steven Gerrard’s men will claim a big scalp in our predictions for this clash.

  • Rangers have won 17 of their last 20 games
  • The Gers are unbeaten in their last seven home Europa League group stage games
  • The hosts have faced two shots on target in just three games in this competition
  • Rangers host Benfica in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday
  • Match is being played at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow
  • Rangers have won their last 10 home matches
  • Rangers have seen over 3.5 goals in their last 3 matches
  • Benfica have seen over 5.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 Europa League matches

Alfredo Morelos broke Rangers’ European scoring record when he netted in Lisbon and seems to come alive on the big stage.

Liverpool v Atalanta betting tips and picks, odd is 2.60

Liverpool won 5-0 in the reverse fixture against Atalanta, while they last won multiple games against Italian sides in a European campaign in 2007-08 – two wins against Inter Milan in the Last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

Two of Atalanta’s three heaviest defeats in European competition have been at the hands of English opponents – 1-5 v Manchester City last season and 0-5 v Liverpool in their most recent game.

Liverpool are looking to record four consecutive victories in the UEFA Champions League for the first time since March 2009.

Atalanta have won each of their last three away games in the UEFA Champions League, scoring at least three goals in each. However, the last time they failed to win away from home in the competition was on their most recent trip to England (1-5 v Man City last season).

Liverpool haven’t conceded a goal in their last three UEFA Champions League games – their longest streak of clean sheets in the competition since April 2018 (a run of four).

Atalanta failed to score in their most recent outing in the UEFA Champions League (0-5 v Liverpool), ending a run of 10 games in which they scored in each, at an average of 2.3 per game. They’ve never previously failed to score in back-to-back games in the competition.

  • Liverpool have won their last four games at Anfield
  • The Reds have won six of their last seven home UCL games within 90 minutes
  • Liverpool have won their three group games to nil so far
  • Jota has scored seven times in his last six Liverpool games

At home in the Champions League this season, Liverpool have played 1, won 1, drawn 0 and lost 0.

Man United v West Brom free picks and betting tips

Manchester United host West Brom at Old Trafford on Saturday. Both teams are in desperate need of a win to get their respective seasons going after a poor start.

Man Utd have won 40% of their last 20 home league games and West Brom have lost 30% of their last 20 away league games.

The last time West Brom won away in the league was 7 games ago against Sheffield Weds. The last time Man Utd lost a home league game was 1 match ago against Arsenal.

Man Utd last kept a clean sheet at home 2 games ago, and have kept 6 clean sheets in their last 20 home games. West Brom last failed to score away in the league 1 games ago and have missed the net in 4 of their last 20 away league games.

  • Over 2.5 goals have been scored in five of Man Utd’s seven Premier League games this season.
  • No club has conceded more Premier League goals than West Brom this season (17).
  • Man Utd scored three or more goals in six separate matches in all competitions this season.
  • Bruno Fernandes has scored more goals from open play in the Premier League than any other midfielder since his arrival in England.

Of the 8 league games Man Utd has won at home, they scored first 6 times. Of the 6 away games West Brom has lost, they conceded first 5 times.

Man Utd have scored 2 goals or more in 10 of their last 20 home games. West Brom have conceded at least 2 goals in 7 of their last 20 away games.

Leeds v Wolves betting tips and picks

Leeds have lost their last three league games against Wolves but given their current form, and taking into consideration the fact they haven’t met since March 2018, that could count for little here.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s Wolves have not started the campaign well. They have six points from 12 possible and suffered two losses already. Wolverhampton Wanderers took six points from 12 possible to start the term.

  • Leeds have lost three of their last four home league games against Wolves (W1) – more than they had in their previous 23 against them at Elland Road (W17 D4 L2).
  • Wolves have won their last three league meetings with Leeds – they last won four in a row against them between February 1958-April 1960 (a run of five).
  • This is just the second Premier League campaign in which Leeds and Wolves are facing off, after both being relegated in 2003-04. The home side won both meetings that season (Wolves 3-1, Leeds 4-1).
  • After losing their first game at Liverpool on their return to the Premier League, Leeds are now without defeat in their last three (W2 D1), remaining unbeaten at Elland Road so far this season (W1 D1).
  • Wolves have won just two of their nine Premier League games played on a Monday (D2 L5), beating Crystal Palace 2-0 in July and Sheffield United 2-0 in September of this year.
  • Wolves have lost just one of their last 10 Premier League games against promoted sides (W7 D2), with that defeat coming in Yorkshire at Sheffield United last season (0-1).
  • Leeds have faced more shots than any other side in the Premier League so far this season (73). This could be, in part, down to the fact that the Whites have had more high turnovers against them (open play sequences that begin 40m or less from goal) than any other side in the competition this term (30).
  • Leeds’ Patrick Bamford has had a hand in four goals in his four league starts against Wolves (3 goals, 1 assist), last facing them with Middlesbrough in March 2018 (scored in a 1-2 defeat).

Patrick Bamford – Scored in each of Leeds’ first three league wins and will want to get straight back to that goalscoring form now.

Raul Jimenez – Scored in the win against Sheffield United and added another against Manchester City despite the defeat.
