The Scout: EPL Week 3

Posted on September 25, 2020 | Posted by The Scout

Brighton vs Manchester United

Brighton rebounded from their opening week loss with a fantastic 3-0 away win at Newcastle while United have played just once for a disastrous 3-1 loss to Crystal Palace.

Bruno Fernandes has transformed this Manchester United offense with his playmaking and vision. I’m backing him here to be the catalyst for a Red Devil rebound.

Both of Brighton’s matches have seen over 2.5 goals. The Seagulls have shown an ability to score, and equally an ability to concede at high levels.

Suggested Bet: Manchester United And Over 2.5 Goals @ $2.70*

Crystal Palace vs Everton

Everton are looking like an early top four (or six) dark horse. Their side is seriously potent with newly added midfielder James Rodriguez adding another element to their offensive.

Another shining light for the Toffees has been the improvement of Dominic Calvert-Lewin who has scored four goals in their opening two matches.

The weapons at Everton look like they’ll be a handful for this Crystal Palace squad. Despite being undefeated themselves, I’m happy to trust the form of Everton over the Eagles here.

Suggested Bet: Everton (Match Result) @ $2.05*

Fulham vs Aston Villa

Both sides here are potential relegation candidates and appear to lack genuine Premier League depth. The outlier to that, and the standout in this matchup is Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The Croatian possesses a level of class that is unrivalled between these rosters, and I think he’ll prove a difference maker in this match.

Mitrovic scored twice against Leeds and should be getting his share of chances against a suspect Villa defense.

Suggested Bet: Aleksandar Mitrovic Anytime Goalscorer @ $2.35*

*Odds correct as at 12pm, 25th September 2020.
