Brighton vs Southampton
30^th March, 11pm WST

Back to back wins over Crystal Palace and Huddersfield has seen Brighton move to 15^th on the Premier League table, five points clear of relegation. Their opponent Southampton sit one place below, fresh off a big win of their own, a come from behind 2-1 victory over Tottenham.

The worry here for the Saints is that the majority of their wins come at home, with only three away victories all season. The same can be said for Brighton with strong performances at Amex Stadium their saving grace this season.

Look for Brighton’s Glenn Murray to be the difference here.

Suggested Bet: Match Result Brighton @ $2.55*

Leicester vs Bournemouth
30^th March, 11pm WST

Just 11 points separate 7^th and 15^th on the table, and right in the middle of the logjam is 10^th placed Leicester. The Foxes have won their last two, including a massive win away to Burnley after an early red card.

Bournemouth set the EPL alight at the start of the season, however their form has slowly faded and they now find themselves at 12^th on the table. This dip in form is in no small part due to their terrible away form, which has seen them lose nine of their last 10 away trips in the Premier League.

Leicester’s new manager Brendan Rodgers seems to have sparked a new-found enthusiasm and energy into this squad. The Foxes have had two consecutive, comfortable wins at home and will like their chances for a third against a team that just doesn’t travel.

Leicester’s star defender Harry Maguire will miss due to suspension, but the Foxes should have enough depth to cover him down back and enough firepower up front to get the job done in this one.

Suggested Bet: Match Result Leicester @ $1.80*

West Ham vs Everton
31^st March, 1.30am WST

It’s been a frustrating season for West Ham fans. Despite a club-record spend during the transfer period, the Hammers started their campaign with four straight losses, but have since turned things around and now sit 9^th on the table.

Everton started the season much like West Ham. After some big signings in the offseason, hopes were high for their 2018/2019 campaign. They too have been up and down, currently 11^th and in very poor form.

The Toffees have been struggling away from Goodison Park having lost six of their last nine Premier League away trips. These three victories away from home have been against Burnley, Huddersfield and Cardiff – teams fighting to avoid relegation.

West Ham have been very strong at home, they haven’t lost a game in 2019 at London Stadium and have played well on home soil all season.

Suggested Bet: Match Result West Ham @ $2.45*

*Odds correct as at 10.00am WST 29th March 2019.
