Tomorrow is arguably the greatest sports day of the entire year. From NHL and NBA playoffs, PPV Boxing, MLB, The Kentucky Derby, and Oh Yes! Premier League soccer! ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? We kick off our action packed Saturday with 6 action packed matches. Have certainly had my ups and downs with this adventure but still holding on in the green…. One great weekend can swing it drastically before the end of the season.
Current Soccer Record: 52-61 +1.73 Units
Brentford ML (+120) 1 Unit
We all saw what happened on Monday, smh. I couldn’t have been more wrong backing Brentford going on the road against Man U. They started the match with a quick strike attempt right off the first whistle and then decided to pack it in and call it a day, going down 3-0. I like a bounce back narrative back on their home pitch after that flat/lackadaisical performance. Especially going up against more inferior competition in that of Southampton. With +120 home value against a club who is 1-2-7 in their last 10 I like our chances. 2-0 match prediction.
Chelsea/Wolves Over 2.5 (-112) 1 Unit
Wolves have really lost their groove and have not been able to find the back of the net as of late. They have been shut out in their last 3 matches, but it doesn’t mean they aren’t capable of executing. There was a ton of missed opportunities against Brighton last week and the week before to Burnley. After being blown out 3-0 at home walking away with at least one goal on the sheet against Chelsea on the road will feel like at least a moral victory for the club at this point. Last week we saw Chelsea take an uncharacteristic L to lesser competition in Everton. Not only did they lose, but they weren’t even able to produce a single goal. That will be cleaned up tomorrow. The floodgates will open and Chelsea will pour it on. 3-1 Match prediction.
Crystal Palace ML (-150) 2 Units
Last week both of these clubs had goals in the winding minutes to change the outcome of the match drastically. For Crystal Palace it was in celebratory fashion as Zaha notched the go ahead goal in the 92’ minute to lead CP to a 2-1 victory over Southampton. Was not so great for Watford as they were clinging on to a 1-0 lead vs Burnley then subsequently letting in 2 goals 3 minutes apart in the 83’ and 86’ minute. Watford ultimately lost 2-1 and deflated any hope for their club to get out of the relegation group. With the disparities of morale between these two clubs, I believe it carries over. Crystal Palace just faced adversity and over came, where Watford has nothing to play for anymore and is mentally defeated. Crystal Palace finds their groove and pours it on with 3-0 match prediction.
