  1. Tottenham vs Wolves - Over 2.5 Goals

Bet365 Odds: 1.33

Key Points:

  • Tottenham games average 3.6 goals per game (39 scored, 26 conceded in 18 games), while Wolves games average 3.83 (29 scored, 40 conceded).
  • 6 of Wolves’ last 7 matches had over 2.5 goals, with the only exception being a 2-0 win over Manchester United.
  • 3 of Tottenham’s last 5 games featured over 2.5 goals.
  • Tottenham’s defense is struggling without their starting center-backs, conceding 10 goals in their last two home games.
  • Wolves' Matheus Cunha is in top form, scoring in each of his last three matches. 

Tottenham vs. Wolves promises to be a high-scoring encounter, with both teams consistently involved in goal-filled games this season. Tottenham matches average 3.6 goals per game, while Wolves' average is even higher at 3.83. Wolves have seen over 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches, and Tottenham’s leaky defense, missing key center-backs, has conceded 10 goals in their last two home games. Adding to the likelihood of goals, Wolves’ Matheus Cunha is in red-hot form, scoring in his last three games. With both teams struggling defensively and productive offensively, the match should exceed the 2.5-goal mark.

2. Everton vs Nottingham Forest - Under 2.5 Goals

Bet365 Odds: 1.57

Key Points:

  • Everton and Nottingham Forest have the most clean sheets in the league (7), tied with Arsenal and Liverpool.
  • Everton has kept 3 clean sheets in their last 5 matches, while Nottingham Forest hasn’t conceded in their last 2 games.
  • Everton’s last 3 matches and Nottingham’s last 2 matches have all been under 2.5 goals.
  • Everton’s home games average just 2 goals per game, while Nottingham’s away games average around 2.8 goals.

A low-scoring affair is expected when Everton takes on Nottingham Forest, with both teams boasting solid defensive records. Both have kept 7 clean sheets this season, tied for the league's best alongside Arsenal and Liverpool. Everton has shown defensive form recently, keeping 3 clean sheets in their last 5 matches, while Nottingham Forest hasn’t conceded in their last 2 games. Recent trends also favor a low-scoring match, as Everton’s last 3 games and Nottingham’s last 2 have all finished under 2.5 goals. With Everton averaging just 2 goals per game at home, this game is unlikely to be a goal fest.

3. Aston Villa vs Brighton – Aston Villa or Draw & Both Teams to Score

Bet365 Odds: 1.96

Key Points:

  • 5 of Aston Villa’s last 7 home games and 9 of Brighton’s last 10 matches have seen both teams score.
  • Aston Villa is unbeaten in their last 8 Premier League home games.
  • Both teams scored in 3 of their last 4 Premier League meetings, with Aston Villa winning twice, one draw, and one Brighton win.
  • Aston Villa has kept just two clean sheets all season.

Aston Villa vs. Brighton is shaping up to be a competitive match with goals on both sides. Aston Villa has been solid at home, unbeaten in their last 8 Premier League matches, but their defensive record is shaky, with only two clean sheets this season. Both teams have a strong history of scoring, with 5 of Villa’s last 7 home games and 9 of Brighton’s last 10 matches featuring both teams on the scoresheet. Additionally, recent encounters between these teams have been evenly matched, with both teams scoring in 3 of their last 4 meetings. Expect a tight game with goals.
