Premier League predictions and best bets: Everton pile on Ange Postecoglou | Football news

On January 19, 2025By Littum

Our betting expert Jones Knows gives his insight into Sunday’s Premier League card, where he sees more misery for Ange Postecoglou at Spurs.

Tottenham are supposed to be the Premier League entertainers – but that’s not the case away from home. At least when they’re bad they’re fun to watch, but on the road it’s all rather boring, which is a concern when it comes to the long-term future of Ange Postecoglou, who is increasingly looking like a broken man.

In seven of their last nine away games domestically, both teams that have scored ‘no’ have landed players, while we all know what Everton bring to the table in terms of goal average. That is not going to change under David Moyes.

Both teams to score ‘no’ have landed in 13 of their last 15 matches. I’m surprised we can get 6/4 with Sky Bet on such a scenario again. It bodes well for what could be another frustrating afternoon for Spurs, who continue to slide.

Score Prediction: 1-0 | JONES KNOWS BEST BET: Both teams score ‘no’ (6/4 with Sky Bet)

Ruben Amorim’s team are a bag of nerves in matches – the manager has even mentioned this and playing at home does not help them.

This lack of conviction and ability to make their mark on games lead to very slow starts from United, who allowed the worst team in the league at Southampton on Thursday to have a good time at Old Trafford in the first half.

That means United have now failed to score in their last seven first halves of football and if you stretch it back further, they have failed to score in 15 of their last 19 first halves. The correct 0-0 half-time on 9/4 with Sky Bet has a chance.

Score prediction: 1-1

Did we see glimmers of hope for Southampton at Old Trafford? Or was it just Manchester United being so bad that it made Saints look better than they were?

I tend to be pretty positive on them in terms of their play in forward areas where Tyler Dibling and Kamaldeen Sulemana carried a genuine threat.

Nottingham Forest are a great team capable of qualifying for the Champions League if they stay in this form, but they give away plenty of territory and shots.

They face 13.4 shots per game. game, which is actually the seventh most of any team this season. Southampton have 12 or more shots at 11/8 with Sky Bet rating a touch of value.

Score prediction: 2-1

It’s a bit crazy that a team who have won just once in their last 10 away games in all competitions are as short as 1/3 with Sky Bet to win an away game in the Premier League.

If Ipswich can repeat their performance in the win over Chelsea, where they defended doggedly and counter-attacked with great threat from Liam Delap, then Kieran McKenna’s side are capable of landing players who look favorably on their prices.

The double chance at 9/4 with Sky Bet and 11/2 for the home win are both genuine betting options while this City side remain so woefully out of possession.

Score prediction: 2-1

Chelsea were excellent in forward areas against Bournemouth and really should have been out of sight instead of desperately chasing an equaliser.

Nicolas Jackson is holding them back in his current form as the inconsistencies surrounding his finishing start to be talked about again.

He is scoreless in his last five games despite taking 16 shots and having a 2.21 Expected Goals. As for his big chances, he has missed five.

His form dampens my enthusiasm for backing Chelsea here, who are of course on a five-game winless run in games they have gone beyond the odds to win against Everton, Fulham, Ipswich, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth.

They are an expensive side to follow, which means Wolves, with Matheus Cunha hopefully back, at double odds of 2/1 with Sky Bet, seem the sensible way to play direct.

Score prediction: 1-1
