The Scout: EPL Matchday 6

Posted on September 21, 2018September 21, 2018 | Posted by The Scout

Fulham vs Watford
22^nd September, 7.30pm WST

Fulham have been wildly inconsistent across their opening five matches, which is to be expected of any newly promoted side. The one thing they’ve shown however is the ability to score with seven goals for the season.

Sitting 4^th, Watford are the early season surprise packets with their only loss coming last weekend at the hands of Manchester United. Fulham went goalless in a very lacklustre performance against Manchester City just seven days ago, but expect a different showing back home at Craven Cottage.

Two things I can’t go past with this fixture – Watford have scored in every game this season and Fulham have conceded at least two goals in all of theirs.

Suggested Bet: Both Teams To Score & Over 2.5 Goals @ $2.00*

Burnley vs Bournemouth
22^nd September, 10pm WST

Burnley are a shadow of the side that finished 7^th last season currently bottom of the table with no wins and a draw. Bournemouth on the other hand are flying, sitting 5^th and fresh off a 4-2 win over Leicester.

Bournemouth midfielder Ryan Fraser returned from injury last week and was utterly dominant against The Foxes. Combining him with the attacking prowess of Callum Wilson and Joshua King, The Cherries have the weapons to trouble any side – not least a struggling Burnley.

Suggested Bet: Match Result Bournemouth @ $2.45*

Liverpool vs Southampton
22^nd September, 10pm WST

It’s a good time to be a Liverpool supporter! The men from Anfield are on fire with an undefeated record coupled with a Champions League win over PSG on Wednesday. Southampton meanwhile have been mediocre at best with their lone win coming on Matchday 4 against Crystal Palace.

Liverpool are unbeaten at home in their last 21 Premier League appearances and boast an attack that rivals any in world football. Slightly under the radar however has been their defence, led by Dutchman Virgil van Dijk, which has conceded just two goals through their opening five matches.

Jurgen Klopp’s men are yet to concede a goal at home and Southampton are coming into this match without their leading striker, Danny Ings, who is on loan from Liverpool making him ineligible to play.

Suggested Bet: Liverpool Win To Nil @ $1.75*

*Odds correct as at 10am WST 21st September 2018
