The Scout: EPL Week 29

Brighton vs Newcastle

16th placed Brighton host 17th placed Newcastle in a game likely to have big ramifications on the end of season relegation battle.

Newcastle enter this game missing Callum Wilson, Allan Saint-Maximim and Miguel Almiron through injury, and have only managed three goals in their last eight away games.

Brighton showed some good signs last week in their 2-1 win over Southampton, and have kept three clean sheets in their last five matches at home.

Suggested Bet: Brighton Win to Nil @ $2.40*


West Ham vs Arsenal

West Ham (5th) will be looking to bounce back after their 1-0 loss to Manchester United while Arsenal (10th) are coming off a 2-1 win over Tottenham.

The Hammers are still well and truly in the hunt for a top four finish and should be confident lining up against a questionable Arsenal defense. They’ve won five of their last six at home, with their only blemish being a loss to Liverpool.

Arsenal have conceded in each of their last five away games and I think that shaky defense costs them again here.

Suggested Bet: West Ham (Match Result) @ $2.70*


Aston Villa vs Tottenham

Aston Villa (9th) haven’t won in three straight Premier League fixtures while Tottenham (8th) had their three game winning streak come to an end at the hands of Arsenal.

Tottenham’s North London Derby loss was unlucky, with a 76th minute red card to Erik Lamela halting any chance of a comeback. Despite this loss, the Spurs have been playing great, aggressive football, scoring 10 goals in their last four matches.

Gareth Bale has found his form, scoring four goals in his last four Premier League appearances. The Welshman still possesses a devastating left foot and should get his chances again here.

Suggested Bet: Gareth Bale Anytime Goalscorer @ $2.75*

*Odds correct as at 6pm, 18th March 2021.
