Premier League Matchday 38: Best Betting Football Tips
Brentford vs. Leeds United: EPL Betting Tip
On the final day of the season, Jesse Marsch’s Leeds are in the relegation zone. Due to Burnley’s far superior goal difference, United must better the Clarets’ result. Leeds travel to the Brentford Community Stadium to play in-form Brentford.
Thomas Frank’s boys have had a memorable first season in the Premier League, winning 13 times and scoring 47 goals. They could sneak into the top half on the final weekend. The London side have picked up seven wins from their last ten games.
Leeds were heading in the right direction after three wins and two draws from five, but no wins in the last five has put them bang in trouble. Since winning 3-0 at Watford, Marsch’s side have taken just two points from a possible 15.
With Brentford in brilliant form, this will be a tough test for Leeds. Having said that, we fancy the Yorkshire side to snatch a point in the capital. The draw is priced at 14/5.
Brentford 27/20

Liverpool vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers: Best Premier League Betting Predictions
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and Bruno Lage’s Wolves meet at Anfield on Sunday. If the Reds beat Wanderers and Man City fail to get the better of Aston Villa, Liverpool will be crowned Premier League champions for the second time.
Klopp’s men have had another sensational season. They have already won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup and are through to the final of the UEFA Champions League. Winning the title on Sunday seems unlikely, but funnier things have happened in football.
Lage has had a solid first season at Molineux, Wolves will finish in the top half of the table no matter what happens on the final day. Their form in recent weeks has cost them a place in Europe, however, with Wanderers taking just two points from the last 18 on offer.
Liverpool should be too strong for Wolves in this one, and we can see the Reds winning by a margin on home soil. Take a punt on the home side to win -1 at 12/25.
Liverpool 1/6
Draw 13/2
Wolverhampton Wanderers 16/1

Manchester City vs. Aston Villa: EPL Betting Odds & Predictions
Man City welcome Aston Villa to the Etihad Stadium for their final fixture. Three points for City will be enough to see the Manchester giants retain their title. However, if they slip up, Liverpool will be waiting in the wings and ready to pounce.
Pep Guardiola’s men have had another dominant season in the Premier League. City have picked up 28 wins from 37 matches, drawing six and losing three of the other nine. Since losing to Tottenham Hotspur in February, the Citizens have gone on to win eight and draw three of 11 in the league.
Steven Gerrard has done a decent job since taking over at Aston Villa. They were slipping under Dean Smith, but Gerrard certainly steadied the ship at Villa Park. Can the Liverpool legend help out his beloved Reds on the final day?
Aston Villa will be no pushovers at the Etihad, but City should get the job done on their own patch. Put some money on the Man City win and both teams to score at 15/8.
Manchester City 1/6

Norwich City vs. Tottenham Hotspur: Best EPL Betting Tips on Matchday 38
Antonio Conte takes his Tottenham side to Carrow Road this Sunday to play already relegated Norwich City. If Spurs see off the Canaries, Champions League football will be heading to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season.
Norwich have been well out of their depth in the Premier League this season, picking up just five wins from 37 fixtures. They have claimed only one win since January. Defeat on Sunday will see Dean Smith’s side finish rock bottom of the table.
Tottenham’s excellent run under Conte has put them on the cusp of securing a top-four finish. Spurs are in fourth position right now, two points above rivals Arsenal, who play Everton at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Tottenham have a better goal difference, so even a point would be enough.
Conte’s side will be gunning for all three points at Carrow Road, and they should cruise past the bottom club. We are backing Tottenham to win both halves at 29/20.
Norwich City 23/2
Draw 11/2
Tottenham Hotspur 2/9
