After eight EPL games take place on Saturday, there are three more matches sprinkled in over the following days. While none of these games feature marquee teams (sorry, Chelsea), each game is expected to be very close. Here are our picks.
Nottingham Forest vs Brentford preview
This is going to be an even game, and both teams carry similar odds to win the game. Each club will enter this game on a bad run of form, but each will expect to win. That being said, we believe both squads will take a cautious approach and try to limit errors. It could be a slow game where each team clogs the midfield and doesn’t take unnecessary risks. As a result, we lean towards the under.
Under 2.5 Goals
Fulham vs Chelsea preview
Until Chelsea shows any signs of life, we will bet against them. The Blues have one win in six Premier League games and will enter this game with zero goals scored over their last three performances. They are a lifeless team and simply shouldn’t be trusted in any game. Fulham are a solid mid-table club, and while they don’t possess the talent Chelsea does on paper, we think they can win at home in this spot.
Fulham To Win
Luton Town vs Burnley preview
These two clubs are firmly in the relegation zone, and in all likelihood, they will be demoted at the end of the season. Neither squad has shown they have the talent to compete in the Premier League. With that said, we will take Burnley. Last year, in the EFL Championship, Burnley had a win and a draw in two games against Burnley, and their win came away from home. While there’s not a ton to separate these clubs, Burnley has a proven track record of success against Luton, and that makes the Clarets our pick.
