Manchester United Poised to End Bournemouth’s Unbeaten Streak on Friday
Filmogaz.com’s betting analyst has mapped out key picks for the weekend. The preview covers Premier League fixtures and the Carabao Cup final. A 7/1 treble is highlighted for casual and serious punters.
Bournemouth vs Manchester United
The match kicks off Friday at 8pm and airs on Sky Sports. Bournemouth arrive unbeaten in 11 matches by 90-minute results.
Underlying numbers suggest regression is due. In their last five games against Everton, West Ham, Sunderland, Brentford and Burnley, Bournemouth allowed 9.44 expected goals. They conceded only two actual goals in that period. That equates to roughly a 7.5-goal overperformance versus xG.
Those figures imply Bournemouth are surrendering about 1.9 xG per 90 to teams outside the top eight. The tip is to back Manchester United to win. Coupling United with over 1.5 total goals is available at 11/8 with Sky Bet. Predicted score: 1-3.
Brighton vs Liverpool
Saturday’s 12.30pm kick-off has prompted debate about quick turnarounds. Data from the last nine similar situations shows eight wins and one draw for teams forced into that schedule.
Liverpool’s midweek outing at Galatasaray was comfortable. The away win at 6/5 with Sky Bet is the recommended angle. Predicted score: 1-2.
Burnley flank and fouls market
Kenny Tete has committed 13 fouls across his last five starts. Jaidon Anthony wins about 1.8 fouls per 90 and will likely operate down that wing.
That combination makes Fulham to win and Tete to commit two or more fouls an attractive bet at 5/4 with Sky Bet. Predicted score: 2-0.
Everton vs Chelsea
Under Liam Rosenior, Chelsea have become an attack-first team. They rank top in goals, expected goals, xG per shot and big chances created.
Chelsea’s 17 games since Rosenior’s arrival have averaged 3.8 goals per match, with an average xG of 3.6. Thirteen of those 17 matches cleared the over 2.5 goals line. Backing over 2.5 goals at 4/5 with Sky Bet is advised. Predicted score: 2-3.
Leeds vs Brentford
Draws are landing at a high rate this season. The current strike rate for draws stands at 27 percent, the second highest in 15 years.
Across the last 120 Premier League matches, 42 finished level, a 35 percent hit rate. Leeds have drawn seven of their last 13. The draw is available at 23/10 with Sky Bet. Predicted score: 1-1.
Newcastle vs Sunderland
Newcastle have played 24 matches since Boxing Day. That frequency has left them fatigued in later stages of games.
Expect a strong early showing from Newcastle, with energy likely to fade in the second half. Backing Newcastle to lead at half-time at 11/10 is the suggested play. Predicted full-time score: 1-1.
Aston Villa vs West Ham
When Nuno-managed teams meet Unai Emery sides, contests are often stop-start and physical. In the last nine such meetings, Nuno’s teams have averaged 16 fouls per game.
Ezri Konsa has been fouled in eight of his last 10 starts, averaging 1.8 fouls won per 90. Betting on Konsa to win two or more fouls at Evens with Sky Bet looks sensible. Predicted score: 2-2.
Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest
Xavi Simons has drawn 41 cards over the past three league seasons, roughly one every 150 minutes. Elliott Anderson is among Forest’s most aggressive midfielders.
Anderson ranks highly for tackles and has eight cards across all competitions this season. Backing Anderson to be booked at 5/2 with Sky Bet is the tip. Predicted score: 1-1.
Carabao Cup final: Arsenal vs Manchester City
The final at Wembley kicks off Sunday at 4.30pm and will be broadcast on Sky Sports. Wembley fixtures tend to be low-scoring by historical measures.
Across 49 domestic and European matches at Wembley, the average goals per 90 minutes is 1.88. Backing under 3.5 goals would have been successful in 46 of those 49 games, a 94 percent hit rate. Arsenal are making their first final appearance in almost six years. In 17 recent away games at top opponents in major ties, they have won once.
The advised wager is Manchester City double chance plus under 3.5 goals at 10/11 with Sky Bet. Predicted score: 1-1, Man City to win on penalties.
Weekend multiple and bankroll note
The 7/1 treble put forward by the analyst combines three selections. Those are Manchester United to win with over 1.5 goals, Everton vs Chelsea over 2.5 goals, and Man City double chance with under 3.5 goals.
