The Scout: EPL Matchday 33

Huddersfield vs Leicester
6th April, 10pm WST

A 2-0 defeat away to Crystal Palace sealed Huddersfield’s Premier League fate, officially relegating them from the top tier. A miserable season, Huddersfield have only managed three wins having scored a league worst 18 goals.

Leicester have won their last three matches, and unlike their opponents, have plenty to play for with their sights set on 7th place and a spot in the Europa League for next season.

Leicester’s appointment of Brendan Rogers as manager has been a big success to date, with the Foxes winning four of their last five, coinciding with the return to form of Jamie Vardy who has five goals in his last five matches.

Leicester look set to carry on their winning ways, and with six of their last seven matches seeing at least three goals, things could get ugly for the home side.

Suggested Bet: Match Result Leicester & Over 2.5 @ $2.70*


Everton vs Arsenal
7th April, 9.05pm WST

10th placed Everton have put together a decent month of football with three wins and a draw in their last five matches. As it stands they are just four points out of 7th spot, leaving them with a slim chance chance to qualify for the Europa League.

Unfortunately for Everton, their opponents Arsenal are in great form and will be hell-bent on protecting their 4th place on the table. Currently tied with Chelsea (but ahead on goal difference), the Gunners need to win every game to ensure they play Champions League football next season.

Both teams enter this match having won their last two Premier League matches. Arsenal have been great all of 2019, winning eight of their 11 matches. Their strong defense is well led by Bosnian Sead Kolasinac while Aubameyang (17 goals) is always a threat up front. Arsenal should have too much class and too much to play for.

Suggested Bet: Match Result Arsenal @ $2.22*


Chelsea vs West Ham
9th April, 3am WST

This is a big London matchup at Stamford Bridge, with 5th placed Chelsea playing host to West Ham. Chelsea are in a fight (with Arsenal) for 4th place and if they want to leapfrog their London rivals, this is a game they have to win.

West Ham have had a tumultuous season. Sitting in 11th, but only five points behind 7th placed Wolves, the Hammers will be looking to finish the season well.

Chelsea had their share of scrutiny earlier in the year, but have responded well winning their last two matches and four of their last six. Manager Maurizio Sarri pulled a surprise last Matchday, starting French striker Olivier Giroud – a gamble that paid off with a 38 minute goal en route to a 3-0 win over Brighton.

Although West Ham still have that coveted Europa League spot to play for, it’s hard to see them winning this fixture. Chelsea have the motivation and should remain undefeated at home in 2019.

Suggested Bet: Match Result Chelsea & Over 2.5 Goals @ $1.74*

*Odds correct as at 12pm WST 5th April 2019.
