It’s always nice coming into one of these articles after a winning weekend. Just One Bet is heating up, and for this midweek slate, we are going to add all of the games. Why tempt fate by adding all 10 matches, You ask. Well, why not?
For time’s sake, we will try to keep it under 50 words per game. So…here…we…go…
Everton/Bournemouth
Total Corners over 10.5 (+107)
Throw out their head-to-head in December. The tussles between these two before that banged home over 11.5 corners in the four straight EPL games. The Cherries are also collecting corners like Spurs are managers, going over 10.5 corners in four straight and seven of their last eight.
Chelsea/Leeds
Total Cards under 3.5 (+109)
Chelsea’s grueling schedule will most likely force some of their more aggressive tacklers to see truncated minutes during this match. Only two cards were shown in this reverse fixture in December. Ideally, this version will produce much of the same.
Tottenham/Newcastle
Total Cards under 4.0 (-108)
This number just seems high, especially with the aggressive Argentinian watching from the sidelines due to his all-around outrageous outburst last week. Romero’s 12 cards in EPL play doubles the next two highest card culprits for Spurs. But, can Van De Ven and Palhinha stay clean?
West Ham/Manchester United
Total Goals over 3.0 (-125)
Man Utd keeps scorching the back of the net, averaging 2 goals per game over their last 10 EPL duels. West Ham’s 1.85 xGA per game over their last 10 should give Bruno’s bunch a plethora of chances at creating chaos, making a three-spot by Man Utd more than possible.
Crystal Palace / Burnley
Burnley Goals Handicap +1.0 (-111)
This game is basically Charlie Brown versus that tee’d-up football. Although the Clarets haven’t scored the last 3 times this fixture has been played, Palace’s 0.7 goals scored over their last 10 is this bet’s shining ray of hope. Plus, Lucy promised she wouldn’t pull the ball this time.
Nottingham Forest/Wolves
Both Teams to Score – No (-125)
After four fairly strong outings to round off January, Forest threw up a stinker against Leeds on Saturday, surrendering three goals and looking lost on defense. To reassert their bottom-of-the-table dominance, they will need to suffocate an already out-of-breath Wolves squad, which is gasping for any semblance of an offense.
Aston Villa/Brighton
Morgan Rogers Anytime Goal (+194)
Rogers is a forward whose current form is hard to ignore. Don’t shy away from this bet because he scored last time out against Bournemouth. Instead, remember that he scored back-to-back braces in December, and perhaps he has an uncanny tendency to score in bunches.
Manchester City / Fulham
Total Goal over 3.0 (-118)
You gotta go back to 2020 for a game in this fixture where the away team failed to score. Add on Man City’s scoring proclivity at home, and getting to two goals here is almost a given. With the wafting scent of the title race lingering in the air, Pep’s squad should comfortably secure these three points by scoring at least the same amount.
Sunderland/Liverpool
Exact Total 2 (+295)
Liverpool’s decline is evident, and Sunderland’s strong home record speaks for itself. Taken together, a slogfest certainly feels in order. Although the world was surprised when the reverse fixture ended in a 1-1 draw, a shocking Sunderland 2-0 victory isn’t out of the realm of possibility.
Brentford/Arsenal
Arsenal Corners Handicap -2.5 (+111)
The Gunners tend to dominate the corner battle in nearly every match, winning by more than two corners in seven of their last 10 matches across all competitions. Additionally, the Bees usually get the stinger end in these battles against Arsenal, losing three of the last five by at least two. More of the same feels like it should be in order.
