Premier League predictions from Mark O'Haire, who shares three betting tips featuring two tips between Crystal Palace and Everton.
15:00 Saturday
Abdoulaye Doucoure Over 0.5 Shots on-Target
Advised Bet: 1pt @ 13/8 Bet365
Crystal Palace’s clash with Everton could be one for the purists. But the mid-table match-up can provide punters with plenty of value, starting with Abdoulaye Doucoure to continue his excellent form in front of goal; operating in a more advanced midfield role, the Mali man looks particularly appealing to land Over 0.5 Shots on-Target at 13/8 (2.63) with Bet365.
Doucoure delivered the bounty last weekend when the Toffees earned a share of the spoils against Brighton, and the 30-year-old has now seen this wager pay-out in eight of his 11 Premier League starts this season, averaging an on-target attempt every 79 minutes, figures that make a mockery of odds-against offerings on a repeat at Selhurst Park.
15:00 Saturday
Jordan Ayew to Commit Over 1.5+ Fouls
Advised Bet: 1pt @ 11/10 SkyBet
Crystal Palace schemer Jordan Ayew has been consistently towards the top end of the Premier League’s list for most fouls committed over the last few seasons and the Ghanian is once again amongst the front-runners in 2023/24. The versatile 32-year-old averages a foul every 46 minutes this term, with a strong strike-rate in this market.
Ayew has committed Over 1.5 Fouls in seven of 10 EPL outings when appearing for 30 minutes or more, with the Eagles ace particularly enthusiastic at Selhurst Park. Our proposed 2+ Fouls play at 11/10 (2.10) with Sky Bet has banked in four of five appearances here, with the forward racking up 13 misdemeanours across those five fixtures.
14:00 Sunday
Raul Jimenez Over 1.5+ Offsides
Advised Bet: 1pt @ 11/8 SkyBet
Aston Villa’s opponents have been caught offside 51 times in the Premier League this season – an average of 4.64 offsides per-game – that’s 17 more offsides than the next-best. It therefore makes sense to focus on offsides with Villa’s opposition where Raul Jimenez stands out at 11/8 (2.8) for 2+ Offsides on Sunday.
With Rodrigo Muniz injured, the Mexican striker looks set to regain his place at the tip of Fulham’s attack at Villa Park. And with the 32-year-old already receiving a flag in five of his eight EPL starts this campaign, the cumbersome forward appears the most likely option to be caught out by Unai Emery’s ridiculously high defensive line.
Last weekend Taiwo Awoniyi was flagged three times by Villa’s rearguard and a similar total could be in the offing for Jimenez here.
