Premier League football continues to come thick and fast as we enter the month of March.
And Matchday 29 has some amazing fixtures on the schedule, including two Wednesday corkers in Aston Villa vs Chelsea and Newcastle vs Manchester United.
Here are our football betting picks for the upcoming midweek action, with all the best Premier League odds available right now on NetBet.
Let’s begin…
*All odds are subject to change
Fulham vs West Ham: Harry Wilson to have over 1.5 shots on target @ 3.25
Wilson is one of the form men in the Premier League. The Welshman scored in last Sunday’s 2-1 win over Tottenham, taking him to nine top-flight goals for the season. And West Ham’s porous defence – fresh from conceding five at Liverpool – means there is value to be had in a Wilson-themed selection. He is a slight doubt with a minor ankle injury, but he should still feature from the off given his unquestionable importance. Wilson has tallied at least one SOT in four of the last five games, and the odds on him to record multiple against the division’s second-worst defence are too good to turn down.
Everton vs Burnley: Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.88
The BTTS market is a great one to pursue whenever Everton or Burnley are involved – and this time they are facing each other! Both teams scored in five of the Toffees’ last six Premier League games, while the same occurred in five of Burnley’s previous seven matches. Furthermore, each side was involved in a goal-filled contest on Matchday 28, Everton winning 3-2 at Newcastle and the Clarets losing 4-3 to Brentford. So backing goals here looks like a safe road to go down.
Bournemouth vs Brentford: Player to score or assist – Dango Ouattara @ 1.91
Brentford ace Ouattara returns to the Vitality after leaving the Cherries in the summer. The fleet-footed winger arrives on the South Coast in good form too, with three goals and an assist in his last five Premier League appearances. Ouattara claimed an assist in the epic 4-3 victory at Burnley last Saturday, while Bournemouth have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five home games. Backing an in-form talent against his former employers could be the way to go here.
Aston Villa vs Chelsea: Draw @ 3.56
This is an intriguing battle between two big teams who are stuttering in the race for Champions League qualification. Villa have won just one of the last five in the Premier League following the 2-0 loss at Wolves, while Chelsea failed to win any of the last three vs Leeds (2-2), Burnley (1-1) and Arsenal (2-1). Villa have even surrendered third place to Manchester United, and Chelsea are now outside the top five, three points behind Liverpool. So tension levels will be very high indeed at Villa Park, potentially paving the way for a cagey, hard-fought draw.
Newcastle vs Manchester United: Player will score and his team will win – Benjamin Sesko @ 4.30
It is safe to say Sesko has arrived in a United shirt. The Slovenian striker has scored in four of the last five matches, three of those goals securing a vital win for the Red Devils. Sesko netted to complete a 2-1 comeback victory over Crystal Palace on the weekend, validating Michael Carrick’s decision to start him. Expect him to remain in the XI for the trip to struggling Newcastle, who have suffered three home losses on the bounce in the Premier League. Over to you, Benjamin!
