English Premier League Predictions (Saturday)

16th October 2009

Ukraine and France both won convincingly as per my predictions midweek. However Slovenia missed 4 great chances and hit the post once to only win by 3:0. However if you bet on all 3 tips, you should have a positive return.

This weekend the EPL is back again. A lot of the EPL stars were involved in the international matches, but some were not used and had a good week's rest. The biggest game on Saturday is obviously the opener Aston Villa vs Chelsea. But this game is too close to call. I would avoid betting on it if I were you. But still there leaves us a lot of opportunities to make some money.

1. Arsenal vs Birmingham - Arsenal usually plays very well at home, and in fact they have won their last 9 home games. This is an emotional game for a lot of Arsenal fans because the last time they met, it was the fateful game that Eduardo got badly injured. Arsenal has been scoring a lot of goals, and Arsenal -1 at 1.53@BET365 is an attractive bet.

2. Portsmouth vs Tottenham - Portsmouth may have won their last EPL game, but it was against the lowly Wolves. James played really well against Ukraine but you would feel that with Tottenham's firepower and Portsmouths lack of form, this should be a straightforward win for Spurs. Tottenham to Win 1.83@BET365.

3. Sunderland vs Liverpool - Sunderland has proven to be the surprise team so far and Liverpool - the dissappointment. However this is a must win game for Liverpool if they want to challenge for the title or even a Champions League place. If you feel like gambling, go for Liverpool Win for 1.90@BET365 because you will not see this kind of odds for Liverpool vs Sunderland in a long time. However an alternative bet that seems safer and still a lot of value is the goal line to be OVER 2.5 goals payout 1.875@BET365. Liverpool has conceded a lot of goals and judging by both teams' performances, this should be a high scoring game.

SUMMARY:
Arsenal vs Birmingham - Arsenal -1
Portsmouth vs Tottenham - Tottenham Away WIN
Sunderland vs Liverpool - Liverpool Away WIN, Goal line OVER 2.5 goals

Good luck
