You can’t beat midweek football. With a full slate of Premier League fixtures taking place on Tuesday and Wednesday, football fans can get their top flight fix early following the FA Cup fourth round weekend.
With three of the Premier League’s top six in action on Tuesday night, there are a number of tasty markets to get stuck into. Without further ado, let’s take a look at some of the best Premier League Odds and tips ahead of January 29th.
ARSENAL vs Cardiff City
Arsenal created the better chances against Manchester United on Friday night but the Gunners failed to take advantage – and you cannot afford to do that against the top teams.
On the whole, Unai Emery has done a solid job since arriving at the club. A convincing win here will silence a few of his critics; 19/20 for over 2.5 home goals is a solid price.
Meanwhile, Cardiff have gone through a rough patch. The Bluebirds have failed to score in their last four games in all competitions and the visitors will be under the cosh from start to finish here.
However, Neil Warnock’s side will be quietly confident of scoring at the Emirates on Tuesday night. 17/10 for a home win with both teams scoring might be the way to go.
TIP: Arsenal to win and both teams to score @ 17/10
PREDICTED SCORE: Arsenal 3-1 Cardiff (Priced at 9/1 with 888sport)
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS vs WEST HAM UNITED
Wolves came from two goals down to salvage a draw at Shrewsbury Town on Saturday and the hosts will count themselves lucky after that very late equaliser.
Both teams to score has landed in Wolves’ previous two home games and 8/11 for another close encounter looks likely. These two teams aren’t renowned for defensive stability by any means.
West Ham suffered an embarrassing FA Cup defeat to AFC Wimbledon last weekend and Hammers fans will be expecting an instant response. Write the Hammers off at your peril…
Manuel Pellegrini’s men were on the wrong side of a 1-0 scoreline when the two teams met in September. Plenty of punters will fancy West Ham at 10/13 to avoid defeat on Tuesday night.
TIP: Both teams to score @ 8/11
PREDICTED SCORE: Wolves 2-1 West Ham (Priced at 15/2 with 888sport)
MANCHESTER UNITED vs Burnley
Manchester United’s impressive resurgence under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer goes on. The Red Devils made it eight wins in a row with a 3-1 win at the Emirates on Friday night.
It is impossible to back against United right now - 8/11 for Solskjaer’s side to take a lead into half-time is worth considering. This has landed in each of United’s last four games in all competitions…
Burnley were unbeaten in five matches in all competitions prior to Saturday’s 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City. The Clarets will be looking to avoid another hiding on Tuesday evening.
For the visitors, keeping this one respectable is an absolute must. 888sport odds have the Clarets (+3 on the handicap) at 33/100 to give a decent account of themselves at Old Trafford.
TIP: Man United to win the first half @ 8/13
PREDICTED SCORE: Man United 2-0 Burnley (Priced at 6/1 with 888sport)
Newcastle United vs MANCHESTER CITY
Rafa Benitez has been criticised for going defensive against the Premier League’s big boys in recent years – but it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see Newcastle sit back once again.
Magpies fans will expect Newcastle to show incentive in the final third and the EVS on offer for over 0.5 home goals deserves a second look. With the crowd behind them, it’s not the worst bet in the world.
You won’t find too many punters backing against Manchester City here. Pep Guardiola’s side have been simply sublime in 2019, scoring 28 goals in six games without conceding a goal.
Like United, I fancy City to come out firing and 8/11 for the visitors to take a lead into the break is a solid bet. This one could get ugly for Newcastle if City go for the jugular.
TIP: Man City to win the first half @ 8/11
PREDICTED SCORE: Newcastle 0-3 Man City (Priced at 6/1 with 888sport)
