The Scout: EPL Matchday 27

Posted on | Posted by The Scout

West Ham vs Fulham
23rd February, 3.45am WST

10th placed West Ham come into this match well rested having not played since February 9. With back to back 1-1 draws in their last two games, the Hammers will be looking to return to the winners list in front of their passionate home crowd.

Fulham have five losses in their last six matches and are languishing (as they have all season) in 19th on the table. Away matches have not been kind, with a grand total of zero wins coming from their 13 Premier League matches on the road this season.

Goal scoring is understandably a huge issue on these away trips for Fulham, failing to find the back of the net in six of their last nine away fixtures in the Premier League.

West Ham have a solid at home with three wins and two draws coming for their last six at London Stadium. Their most recent 1-1 draw with Liverpool was impressive in itself.

With the welcome return of striker Marko Arnautović, the Hammers look the bet of the weekend.

Suggested Bet: Match Result West Ham @ $1.78*

Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton
23rd February, 11pm WST

It was a welcome week off for Bournemouth who have lost their last two League games and now find themselves 11th on the table. They went scoreless in both of these games – alarming for a team that has been so strong in attack this season.

Wolverhampton have been impressive this season, sitting 7th on the table, they far exceeded the expectations for a newly promoted side.

Although Bournemouth have struggled to score in their last two matches, they have been a powerhouse all season, most notably their 4-0 thrashing of Chelsea in January. The week off should have allowed them time to regroup and rethink their strategy going forward. I expect them to score goals with the firepower at hand.

In their last four matches Wolves have scored a massive 11 goals, with their star attacking players shining. With added confidence from their recent FA Cup victory as well as the form of players like Jimenez and Jota, they should see their share of chances this weekend.

Suggested Bet: Over +2.5 Goals @ $2.02*

Leicester City vs Crystal Palace
24th February, 1.30am WST

Leicester (12th) have struggled in 2019 with their last win coming way back on New Year’s Day. Their opponents sit just one place below them, unbeaten in their last three matches, with a win and two draws.

The Foxes poor run of form is all the more disappointing given their well-rounded squad. Despite the slump they are still scoring goals – netting at least one in six of their last seven matches in the Premier League. With the dangerous Jamie Vardy ready to pounce on a goal scoring opportunity, Leicester are always a chance to score en masse.

Scoring goals has also been a theme for Crystal Palace, finding the back of the net in their last six Premier League games. The most impressive result being a three goal haul in a losing effort against Liverpool – the League’s best defense.

Suggested Bet: Both Teams To Score @ $1.85*

*Odds correct as at 10am WST 22nd February 2019.
