Burnley v Crystal Palace
This is Alan Pardews’ third game incharge and I really fancy Palace on the double chance market here (+0.5 Asian Handicap).
They played extremely well in their last outing and showed great resilience and character to come back and defeat mighty Spurs from being a goal down. Before that, in Pardews’ first game in charge they demolished Dover by 4 goals without reply.
Burnley have been in good form lately, drawing away to Man City and Newcastle whilst defeating QPR @ home but I just don’t see them outscoring Palace in this game. The reverse fixture was 0-0 and this one may also be that tight.
Verdict: Palace +0.5 @ 1.6 at Bookie 18bet
Leicester v Stoke
I see Stoke getting revenge for earlier in the season when Leicester won 1-0 in the reverse. The odds for a Stoke away win are very generous and should not be ignored.
Find the value and the winners take care of themselves and there is much value in the Stoke win.
Stoke will want to bounce back after suffering a humiliating defeat @ Arsenal, who they usually perform good against.
Leicester City conceded at least one goal in 80% of their home games.
68% of Stoke City’s goals have been scored in the first half and if they score first here, they can well go on to win.
Verdict: Stoke @ 3.0 at Bookie BetVictor
QPR v Man United
Harry Redknapp and his side should be under huge pressure here because there are rumours circulating in the press that if they do not get @least a point, Redknapp will be sacked the following morning.
QP Rangers have conceded the opening goal in 71% of their games.
Manchester Utd have been undefeated in their last 5 away games and drawn their last 3 away. I don’t expect anything other than an away win here. I also envisage Falcao playing and scoring after the recent news articles concerning his United future. He will want to make a point on the pitch.
Verdict: Man United @ 1.62 at SBO Bet
West Ham v Hull
West Ham should notch another crucial home win here against an injury ravaged Hull side. They may be quite tired after playing 120 minutes and penalties against Everton on Tuesday but I don’t see them not getting the three points and home win in this one.
Hull are also very likely to be missing both their top scorer Jelavic, most expensive signing Hernandez, and midfield engine Diame.
West Ham drew away 2-2 in the reverse fixture back in September and should be too powerful in their own backyard.
Verdict: West Ham @ 1.72 at Bookie Bwin
Aston Villa v Liverpool
Raheem Sterling should be fresh after returning from holiday in his native Jamaica.
Aston Villa did not win in their last 6 games and are in terrible form. Aston Villa also did not score in their last 4 games.
Head to head wise, Liverpool have won on their last three visits to Villa. They should again be too strong because the Villans lose almost 50% of their home matches.
Villa will also be missing their captain and crucial defender Ron Vlaar.
Verdict: Liverpool @ 1.90 at Bookie Interwetten
