Premier League Predictions: Ten Hag's Manchester United Set for a Vital Win

Premier League Predictions and Betting Insights for the Upcoming Weekend

Our football betting expert, Jones Knows, returns with insights on every Premier League match this weekend, highlighting potential bets and predictions for an exciting series of clashes.
With an eye on unique opportunities, Jones is also backing an attractive 11/1 weekend treble.

Southampton vs Manchester United - Saturday 12:30 PM

Southampton has been grappling with an array of challenges in the Premier League under Russell Martin. Their style, characterized by possession and creative build-up play, is undermined by risky strategies in defense. Consequently, they find themselves as 8/13 favorites for relegation according to Sky Bet.

However, Manchester United, under Erik ten Hag, excels in matches against lower-tier teams. Statistically, they've won 14 of their last 20 away games against clubs finishing in the bottom half, a testament to their prowess. A recommended bet is backing United to win with under 3.5 goals, priced at 6/4 with Sky Bet.

SCORE PREDICTION: 0-1

Brighton vs Ipswich - Saturday 3 PM

Brighton has shown promising form during Fabian Hurzeler's tenure, raising expectations significantly. Current odds suggest they're just as likely to end in the top four as Manchester United (9/2 with Sky Bet). Top players like Kaoru Mitoma could shine in this winnable home match.

Mitoma, priced at 2/1 to score, looks a steal given his track record last season where he netted almost every other game at home.

SCORE PREDICTION: 3-1

Crystal Palace vs Leicester - Saturday 3 PM

Leicester has struggled to impose themselves in the league thus far, showcasing poor attacking output. With Crystal Palace appearing more solid and revitalized post-transfer window, a home win is on the cards.

A bet on Palace to win with under 3.5 goals at 13/8 with Sky Bet is worth considering.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-0

Fulham vs West Ham - Saturday 3 PM

Adama Traore poses a threat down Fulham's right, which could lead to West Ham's Emerson Palmieri receiving cards. Emerson’s odds for two fouls at 6/4 and potential booking at 9/2 create an enticing potential profit via the BuildABet function.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1

Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest - Saturday 3 PM

Nottingham Forest’s defense, under Nuno Espirito Santo, boasts robust stats, with sound expected goals against. As Liverpool adjusts under Arne Slot, expectations around goals are tempered. A suggested high-value bet is under 1.5 first-half goals at 8/11 with Sky Bet.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-0 | BEST BET: Under 1.5 first-half goals.

Man City vs Brentford - Saturday 3 PM

Manchester City continues its rampage, but innovative betting angles are needed. Brentford's propensity to be flagged offside means a line of two or more offsides at 10/11 with Sky Bet might yield results.

SCORE PREDICTION: 3-1

Aston Villa vs Everton - Saturday 5:30 PM

Aston Villa’s impressive home record against lower-table teams puts them in a favorable position against Everton. Betting on Ollie Watkins to score in a Villa win at 7/4 is regarded as a promising choice.

SCORE PREDICTION: 3-1 | BEST BET: Ollie Watkins to score.

Bournemouth vs Chelsea - Saturday 8 PM

This match promises excitement with Chelsea’s forward potential against Bournemouth’s shaky defense. You might find value in anytime scorer prices for players like Antoine Semenyo (15/8) and Noni Madueke (2/1).

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-2

Tottenham vs Arsenal - Sunday 2 PM

With notable absences in Arsenal's midfield, a cautious play could ensue, focusing on solid defense to salvage a draw. The under 2.5 goals line sits favorably at 11/8.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1 | BEST BET: Under 2.5 goals.

Wolves vs Newcastle - Sunday 4:30 PM

Expect a gritty midfield battle with potential fouls regularly occurring. Mario Lemina's odds of being fouled twice at 7/2 stands out given Newcastle's history of fouls this season.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1
