Greener's Premier League Tips
Published: 25/01/2010
Bolton Wanderers v Burnley
Bolton have won just two of their 11 home games this season. Burnley have managed only one point from a possible 33 on their travels. Seven of Bolton 11 home games have produced Over 2.5 goals. Burnley have failed to find the net in eight of their 11 away games including their last four. They have conceded 34 goals, the most in the League. Bolton showed enough in their two games against Arsenal that they are more than capable of winning this one. I recommend a bet on a Bolton win and also back them to keep a clean sheet.
Portsmouth v West Ham United
Portsmouth have won three of their last five games at Fratton Park. West Ham have failed to win any of their last ten away games. West Ham have only won one of the nine previous meetings between the sides in the Premier League. This is a hugely important game for both sides in the relegation battle. I feel the only bet here is to back the draw.
Tottenham Hotspur v Fulham
Tottenham have won eight of their 11 games at White Hart Lane this season. They have conceded only three first half goals in those games and have managed nine first half clean sheets. Fulham haven’t won away from home in their last 10 games and have lost four of their last five. In this one I recommended backing Tottenham to win 1-0 and 2-0.
Wolverhampton Wanderers v Liverpool
Wolves have won just two of their last eight home games. They are the lowest scorers in the League having managed just 17 goals in their 21 games. Liverpool have won just two of their last eight away games. Seven of Liverpool’s last 10 away games have been level at half time. I recommend two wagers on this game. First back the Under 2.5 goals and also back the half time draw.
Aston Villa v Arsenal
Villa have lost just one of their last 10 home games. Only three of Villa’s 11 home games have produced Over 2.5 goals. Arsenal have lost just one of their last eight away games. Arsenal have conceded just three goals on their travels this season. I suggest backing the draw and also Under 2.5 goals.
Blackburn Rovers v Wigan Athletic
Blackburn have lost just one of their last 10 home games. Only three of their last nine games have produced Over 2.5 goals. Wigan have won just two of their last 10 away games and nine of those games have produced three goals or more. I recommend a Blackburn win and also a bet on Over 2.5 goals.
Chelsea v Birmingham City
Chelsea have 10 wins and a draw from their 11 games at Stamford Bridge. Nine of those 11 games have produced Over 2.5 goals. Birmingham are currently on an unbeaten run of 12 league games, with seven wins and five draws. Only two of Birmingham’s last nine games have produced three goals or more. I recommend backing Under 2.5 goals and a small wager the draw.
Everton v Sunderland
Everton have lost just one of their last 10 home games. Seven of their last eight home games have produced Under 2.5 goals. Sunderland have lost eight of their last 10 away games. I recommend backing Everton to win 2-0 and 2-1.
BANKER BET - Blackburn to win.
NEXT BEST - Bolton to win.
TREBLE - Portsmouth/West Ham draw.
