Premier League Matchday 28: Best Betting Football Tips
Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Leicester City: EPL Betting Tip
On Saturday night, Graham Potter’s Brighton & Hove Albion and Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City square off at the Amex Stadium. The Seagulls hover just above the bottom three, while the Foxes are riding high in third.
Brighton made a solid start to 2021, but Potter’s boys have lost two in a row after six league games without defeat. After a 2-1 home loss to rivals Crystal Palace, Albion were beaten by West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns last time out. Brighton are just three points above the drop zone.
Leicester have had another superb season under Rodgers, but can they hold on to a Champions League spot this time around? City are currently in third, four points clear of fifth-place Everton. The Foxes will be looking for a win at the Amex after taking just one point from their last two league fixtures.
Leicester have the best away record in the Premier League, collecting 31 points from 14 away games. Take a punt on the Leicester win and both teams to score in this one at 11/2.

Liverpool vs. Fulham: Best Premier League Betting Predictions
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and Scott Parker’s Fulham go head-to-head at Anfield on Sunday. The Reds have crashed to five successive home league defeats, while the Cottagers are unbeaten away from home since a 2-0 loss at the Etihad Stadium on 5th December.
Things have gone from bad to worse for last season’s Premier League champions, as the Reds have lost five of their last six league games. Thursday’s 1-0 reverse to Chelsea was Liverpool’s fifth straight home league loss. Prior to losing to Burnley in January, the Merseysiders had gone 68 Premier League matches at Anfield without defeat.
Scott Parker’s Fulham are still in the relegation zone at present, but the London side are showing plenty of signs of life. The Cottagers have lost only four of their last 16 league affairs, though ten of those have ended in draws.
No side in the Premier League have drawn more games than Fulham this season, and we fancy Parker’s boys to leave Anfield on Sunday with a share of the spoils. The 1-1 draw at 10/1 has really caught the eye.
Liverpool 2/5

Manchester City vs. Manchester United: EPL Betting Odds & Predictions
Rivals Man City and Man United do battle at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Pep Guardiola’s men have an unassailable lead at the top after a whole host of wins. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s United start the weekend in second.
Since a 1-1 home draw with West Brom in the Premier League on 15th December, Man City have won every league and cup game. Last Tuesday’s 4-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Etihad was their 15th Premier League win in a row.
Man United have been tough to beat this season, losing just four of 27 league matches. In fact, only Man City have suffered fewer defeats. However, the Red Devils have struggled for wins of late, picking up just two victories from their past eight league encounters.
Manchester City look unstoppable at the moment, and Pep’s boys should pick up a 16th Premier League victory on the trot at the weekend. Check out Unibet’s top price of 13/10 for the hosts to win -1.

Chelsea vs. Everton: Best Premier League Betting Tips on Matchday 28
On Monday evening, Chelsea and Everton meet in tasty-looking fixture at Stamford Bridge. Thomas Tuchel will be hoping to maintain his unbeaten start, while Carlo Ancelotti’s boys will be eyeing up a fourth Premier League win in a row.
German boss Tuchel has made a solid start to life in the English capital. Chelsea are unbeaten in ten under new management, winning seven and drawing three. On Thursday, Mason Mount was on target in a 1-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield.
Everton are back on track after successive wins over Liverpool, West Brom and Southampton. The Toffees have been resolute at the back, keeping clean sheets in all three. They have been superb away from home in recent months, winning seven and drawing two of nine since a 2-1 loss at Newcastle United on 1st November.
Everton are sure to give Chelsea a good game at Stamford Bridge on Monday, but we fancy in-form Chelsea to nick the points on home soil. Put some money on the Blues to win by a one-goal margin at 12/5.
