There are 2 English Premier League matches on Monday night and we take a look at the betting.
LEICESTER v FULHAM – Click here to bet
Leicester are currently 4th on the table, but they were well beaten last time out by Liverpool, 3-0 on the road and that loss broke a run of 3 successive victories. This will be Leicester’s 5th home match of the season and they have won 2 and lost 2, scoring 5 goals and conceding 6.
Fulham are 18th on the log after 9 matches having accumulated just 4 points with just 1 victory. Their away form is particularly poor with just 1 point in 4 starts and they have scored 4 goals and conceded 7.
BETTING
Leicester 11/20
Draw 67/20
Fulham 5/1
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Leicester (-1) at 14/10
Leicester showed last week in Europe that they are still in good form and I think we can draw a line through the Liverpool result as they just ran into a better team on the day. Fulham are battling in their return to the EPL and I think Leicester could put them away.
WEST HAM v ASTON VILLA – Click here to bet
West Ham are 8th on the table and they are coming off successive victories away at Sheffield United and at home to Fulham both by 1-0 margins. They have taken 7 points from a possible 12 at home this season and their home games averaged just over 2 goals each, but West Ham scoring 6 and conceding 3.
Aston Villa sit just above West Ham on the table in 7th, but they are in a poor recent run with 3 losses and 1 victory in their last 4 games. All 3 of those losses came at home and their away record is excellent with 3 wins in 3 starts, scoring 7 goals without conceding once.
Both fixtures between these sides finished level last season and under 2.5 goal backers would have collected on each occasion.
BETTING
West Ham 27/20
Draw 26/10
Aston Villa 2/1
Suggested Bet: Under 2.5 goals at 11/10
West Ham’s recent matches have been low scoring and although Aston Villa have been involved in some high scoring encounters, this fixture was very tight last season and I am going for 2 goals or less in this one.
