EPL Week 33 Predictions
—
Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth – Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace ($2.50)
Bournemouth ($2.95)
Draw ($3.60)
Having capitulated at the hands of Manchester City last weekend, Crystal Palace will be eager to bounce back in this one against Bournemouth. With a FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa to look forward to next weekend, this feels like a significant once for Palace, as they look to build momentum for the remainder of the campaign. Bournemouth meanwhile are a side on the up again, following their good home win over Fulham and they will provide a stern test for the Eagles here. This should be a very interesting one, with the draw our predicted outcome.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($2.50)
2-2 Draw
West Ham United vs Southampton – London Olympic Stadium
West Ham United ($1.54)
Southampton ($6.50)
Draw ($4.50)
Struggling West Ham will be doing all they can to get back on track here, as they host already relegated Southampton, looking to climb away from 17th place in the table. The Hammers pushed Liverpool all the way last weekend but came up short and Graham Potter looks to have a real task on his hands to boost confidence in East London. Southampton meanwhile endured another tough afternoon at the hands of Aston Villa last weekend, with the Championship looming large and the Saints in disarray. This won’t be a classic but West Ham should have enough to pick up a much needed win here.
Betting tip: West Ham United to win the match ($1.54)
West Ham United to win 2-0
Brentford vs Brighton – Gtech Community Stadium
Brentford ($2.45)
Brighton ($2.80)
Draw ($3.80)
Two sides enjoying very decent seasons meet here in West London, as Brentford host Brighton. The Bees come into this one fresh off the back of a super draw at Arsenal and Thomas Frank has his side ticking over very well this term. Brighton meanwhile are looking to force their way into the European picture but their 2-2 home draw with Leicester last time out was a poor showing. Calling this one is tough, all three results are in play, and it may well end up being a draw.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.80)
2-2 Draw
Everton vs Manchester City – Goodison Park
Everton ($4.10)
Manchester City ($2.00)
Draw ($3.70)
David Moyes’s high-flying Everton will be looking to take another big scalp here, as they take on Manchester City for the final time at Goodison Park. The Toffees have been going so well of late, with a late win at Nottingham Forest their latest scalp and they should be primed and ready to rattle into City in this one. A comeback win over Crystal Palace should boost the mood at City ahead of this one and they know that they are in control of their own destiny in the race to land in the top 5. This should be a good one, with Everton perhaps ready to prevail at home.
Betting tip: Everton to win the match ($4.10)
Everton to win 2-1
Aston Villa vs Newcastle United – Villa Park
Aston Villa ($2.38)
Newcastle United ($2.95)
Draw ($3.75)
Two sides locked in the battle to crack the top 5 meet here at Villa Park, with Aston Villa taking on Newcastle – in what feels like a big game for both sides. Villa are ticking along nicely this term, with Champions League and FA Cup football on their agenda too and they are always tough to beat at home. Meanwhile, Newcastle are in buoyant mood, having overcome Manchester United last weekend and they will arrive in Birmingham full of confidence. This should be a belter, with a score draw the predicted outcome for us.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.75)
2-2 Draw
Ipswich Town vs Arsenal – Portman Road
Ipswich Town ($8.00)
Arsenal ($1.44)
Draw ($4.80)
With Arsenal turning their attention to their Champions League exploits, they will be eager to keep hold of second place as they travel to Ipswich Town. The Tractor Boys were resilient against Chelsea last weekend, picking up a point but it is unlikely to be enough to see them stay in the Premier League. Arsenal have been huffing and puffing in recent weeks in the league, but they should be able to shuffle the pack and come out on top in Suffolk in this one.
Betting tip: Arsenal to win the match ($1.44)
Arsenal to win 3-0
Manchester United vs Wolves – Old Trafford
Manchester United ($2.00)
Wolves ($3.85)
Draw ($3.60)
It has been a torrid time for Manchester United and things shouldn’t get too much easier here, as the Red Devils host Wolves. United were pummelled 4-1 by Newcastle last weekend and look to be in dire straits in the Premier League. Wolves meanwhile have been in super nick of late, picking up another impressive win at Tottenham last weekend and their Premier League survival has been all but mathematically ensured. United could play with some pressure off here, with Wolves safe and they could bag a needed home win.
Betting tip: Manchester United to win the match ($2.00)
Manchester United to win 2-1
Fulham vs Chelsea – Craven Cottage
Fulham ($2.88)
Chelsea ($2.50)
Draw ($3.70)
A West London derby of importance is on the agenda here, as Fulham host Chelsea, with both sides chasing European football next season. Fulham were undone by Bournemouth last weekend, but they remain one of the most consistent sides in the division at home and they have already taken some big scalps this term. Chelsea meanwhile are struggling a little domestically, drawing at home to Ipswich last time out and they need a win to kick on with their top 4 bid. Goals and drama look to be on the cards here, with a draw potentially the outcome.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.70)
2-2 Draw
Leicester City vs Liverpool – King Power Stadium
Leicester City ($12.50)
Liverpool ($1.25)
Draw ($6.60)
Despite showing some heart at Brighton last weekend, the writing looks to be on the wall in the Premier League for Leicester City and things won’t get any easier here against Liverpool. The Foxes have struggled to cope with the demands of the top flight and look to be readying themselves for a return to the Championship. Clinching the title is top of the agenda for Liverpool right now and while they were nervy against West Ham last weekend, their strong mentality came to the fore once more. This will be a good one, with Liverpool potentially running a few past Leicester City here.
Betting tip: Liverpool to win the match ($1.25)
Liverpool to win 4-0
Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Tottenham ($2.50)
Nottingham Forest ($2.75)
Draw ($3.80)
Nottingham Forest are clinging on for dear life in the race to break the top 5 this season and they have a tough looking trip to Tottenham on the agenda next. Spurs are seriously struggling under Ange Postecoglou, but they will be hoping to still be in the hunt for the Europa League by the time this fixture swings around. Nottingham Forest meanwhile have lost their last two but remain in 3rd place and have their Premier League destiny very much in their own hands. This should be a good one, with the draw the logical prediction.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.80)
1-1 Draw
