Ace Football presents detailed betting tips on the upcoming Premier League games of this Thursday.
As we prepare for another day of Premier League football, our experts take a look at the bookmakers’ predictions for the upcoming matches.
On Thursday, four rescheduled games take place across England, compensating for four different matchdays of the current campaign.
Back Southampton to defeat Newcastle on home soil
Since the end of the winter transfer market, Newcastle have managed to show brilliant form in the Premier League. The Magpies have remained unbeaten in their last eight league games.
However, we expect this run to end this week when Eddie Howe’s side travel to Southampton. The Saints will be their highest-ranked opponents since after the winter transfer window, an ultimate test for their chances of a top-half finish.
Southampton will most likely expose Newcastle’s defence in the absence of Kieran Trippier. The Saints are eager to regain their form after an unexpected defeat against Aston Villa last week.
Expect goals when Aston Villa meet Leeds United
After two underwhelming defeats against Newcastle and Watford, Villa have bounced back to beat Brighton and Southampton in their last two games.
Steven Gerrard’s side are now back in 11th place on the table. However, their last week’s performance against the Saints proved how deadly their attacking unit could be against weaker backlines.
Despite expecting Villa to win the game, we back Leeds to score their first league goal since the departure of Marcelo Bielsa. Their new coach, Jesse Marsch, will most likely try to improve Bielsa’s system as he also prefers an attacking playing style.
Don’t expect goals when Wolves host Watford
Watford have managed to put up decent fights against Arsenal and Manchester United in their last two games. In both matches, the Hornets had more than enough chances to win. However, their lack of composure prevented them from converting their opportunities.
This Thursday, they will meet Wolves, who have also struggled to score in their recent matches. Bruno Lage’s side are on a run of three consecutive defeats while failing to score in the last two games. We expect both sides to wait patiently for their opponents’ defensive mistakes in the upcoming battle.
