The Scout: EPL Week 19

Wolverhampton vs West Brom

The last two months for Wolves (14th) has been a collection of frustrating and poor results, only finding one win in eight Premier League fixtures.

Despite the poor run, Wolves have been able to defend quite well, with under 2.5 goals being scored in seven of their last nine Premier League home games.

West Brom are one of the worst teams in the Premier League and look to be headed towards relegation.

West Brom are equally poor on attack and defense, having found the back of the net just once in their last four games.

Suggested Bet: Wolves and Under 2.5 Goals @ $3.25*


Leeds vs Brighton

Leeds games continue to feature lots of goals while Brighton haven’t tasted victory in nine straight games.

Leeds have a little bit of flat track bullies about them. When they come up against a weaker side they absolutely destroy them. Recent wins include a 5-0 win over West Brom (19th) and a 5-2 victory over Newcastle (15th).

Chances will be plentiful for both sides, but it should be Leeds that come out ahead. Leeds have the advantage of playing at home plus the bigger goal scoring threat in Patrick Bamford (10 goals).

Suggested Bet: Leeds (Match Result) @ $2.10*


Sheffield United vs Tottenham

Sheffield United broke their winless drought with a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United but remain rock-bottom on the table.

Tottenham’s are coming off a disappointing 1-1 draw (after scoring first) with Fulham and need to start winning now if they are to cement themselves in the top four.

Harry Kane has been brilliant for Tottenham this season and has scored in back-to-back games. What makes Kane so good is that he is a threat in every position, he is a great finishing by foot and is an aerial threat.

The English striker has 11 goals to his name and is only two behind Mo Salah in the Golden Boot race.

Tottenham should completely dominate this fixture giving Kane plenty of opportunities to score. He is also the primary penalty taker and looks a good bet for first goal scorer.

Suggested Bet: Harry Kane First Goal Scorer @ $3.60*

*Odds correct as at 12pm, 15th January 2020.
