Premier League Weekend: Best Betting Football Tips
Fulham vs. Leeds United: EPL Betting Tip
The Premier League action gets underway on Friday night when Fulham and Leeds United square off at Craven Cottage. The Cottagers have been in good form of late and head into this one as the slight favourites with the bookies.
Fulham have shown plenty of fighting spirit since the turn of the year. They have lost their last two at home to Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, but Scott Parker’s boys have won three of their last seven in the Premier League. The London side are now just two points away from safety.
Leeds, who were promoted alongside Fulham last season, have had a fine first year back in the top flight so far. Marcelo Bielsa’s boys are sitting pretty in 12th place with 36 points to their name. However, the Yorkshire side have lost five of their last eight league games.
Fulham will be desperate to keep their momentum ticking, and we fancy Parker’s boys to seal a narrow victory on home soil. Back the Cottagers to win and both teams to score at 4/1.
Fulham 31/20
Draw 49/20
Leeds United 19/10

Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Newcastle United: Best Premier League Betting Predictions
Graham Potter’s Brighton & Hove Albion welcome Steve Bruce’s Newcastle United to the Amex Stadium in Premier League action on Saturday night. The Seagulls hover just above the drop zone, a point above the 17th-place Magpies. Who will win this basement battle?
Brighton have been drawn into the relegation scrap after a disappointing run of results. However, Potter’s boys did pick up a crucial away win at Southampton last time out. Prior to that, Albion had lost three in a row.
Newcastle left it late to pick up a precious point against Aston Villa last weekend. Jamal Lascelles levelled in injury time after Ciaran Clark’s 86th-minute own goal. That was the Magpies’ third consecutive league draw.
This survival six-pointer could go either way at the Amex. However, we fancy Brighton to nick the points on their own patch. Back the hosts to win by one goal at 12/5.
Brighton & Hove Albion 4/6
Draw 5/2
Newcastle United 23/4

West Ham United vs. Arsenal: EPL Betting Odds & Predictions
London sides West Ham and Arsenal meet at the London Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon. David Moyes’ men are fighting for a European place, while the Gunners are in tenth position with ten games to go.
West Ham have had an exceptional season up until now. The Hammers are in fifth spot at present, taking 48 points from 28 league games. The east London outfit have lost to both Manchester clubs in their last two away matches, but the Irons have won six of their previous seven league and cup fixtures at the London Stadium.
Arsenal will still be buzzing from last weekend’s north London derby victory over fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur. The Gunners came from behind on home soil to win 2-1. Mikel Arteta’s men are in decent shape, taking seven points from the last nine on offer.
This all-London clash at the London Stadium could go either way. With that in mind, we fancy the pair to play out a draw in Stratford. The 1-1 draw at 6/1 is standing out.
West Ham United 8/5
Draw 12/5
Arsenal 17/10

Aston Villa vs. Tottenham Hotspur: Best Premier League Weekend Betting Tips
The final Premier League game of the weekend will see Aston Villa and Tottenham lock horns at Villa Park on Sunday night. After the disappointing derby defeat last weekend, can Jose Mourinho’s men strike back with a big three points in the Midlands?
Aston Villa have been very competitive this season, taking many people by surprise. After 27 games played, Dean Smith’s troops are in ninth spot, winning 12, losing ten and drawing five to take 41 points. Despite their lofty position, Villa have won just one of their last six in the league, though.
Before last weekend’s loss at the Emirates Stadium, Jose’s boys were starting to find some rhythm again, winning five in a row in all competitions. Spurs are one place and four points ahead of Aston Villa in the current Premier League standings.
We are backing Tottenham to bounce back with a vital three points on the road on Sunday night. There is good value in the away win and both teams to score at 10/3.
Aston Villa 9/4

Tottenham Hotspur 13/10
