EPL Matchweek 30 betting tips, best odds & predictions

Liverpool will seek to advance their Premier League title hopes with a Merseyside derby win in Matchweek 30, while Chelsea take on Spurs as the race for top-four spots heats up. Here are our top soccer betting tips for this week’s EPL action.

Arsenal v Fulham

Wednesday, April 2 – 5:45am AEDT – Emirates Stadium

Sitting 12 points behind the league leaders after a series of inconsistent results, Arsenal will have their work cut out against visiting Fulham, who are six positions behind them. Unbeaten in their last three meetings, the Cottagers — who have been solid on the road — could force Arsenal to a third draw in four meetings.

Wolverhampton Wanderers v West Ham United

Wednesday, April 2 – 5:45am AEDT – Molineux Stadium

After securing one point from their last two games, 16th-placed West Ham will be eager to bounce back against Wolves, who are a position behind them following their 2-1 win over Southampton. Triumphant in their last meeting, the Hammers should do enough to secure a fourth consecutive win against their injury-stricken hosts.

Nottingham Forest v Manchester United

Wednesday, April 2 – 6am AEDT – The City Ground

Into the last four of the FA Cup after eliminating Brighton over the weekend, third-placed Nottingham Forest will be in high spirits when they take on a Manchester United side sitting in the bottom half of the table. Among the EPL’s most impressive teams this season, it wouldn’t be a shocker if Forest do the double on United.

Bournemouth v Ipswich Town

Thursday, April 3 – 5:45am AEDT – Vitality Stadium

Down to 10th after a four-game winless run, Bournemouth will aim to return to winning ways against relegation-threatened Ipswich Town, who are on a four-game losing streak. Although the Tractors Boys will bring the fight, the Cherries are overwhelming favourites against their defensively porous opponents.

Brighton & Hove Albion v Aston Villa

Thursday, April 3 – 5:45am AEDT – Amex Stadium

Unbeaten in their last five Premier League outings, seventh-placed Brighton will back themselves against Aston Villa, who are two places behind them after losing twice over the same period. The Seagulls are on a decent run and should be good enough to grind out a second successive win at the Amex Stadium.

Manchester City v Leicester City

Thursday, April 3 – 5:45am AEDT – Etihad Stadium

Fifth-placed Manchester City can climb higher up the EPL table with a win over Leicester, who are second from bottom after a six-game losing streak. Omar Marmoush bagged the winner against Bournemouth over the weekend as City secured passage into the FA Cup semifinals, and top Australian betting sites are paying $2.20 for the Egyptian international to score at any time.

Newcastle United v Brentford

Thursday, April 3 – 5:45am AEDT – St James’ Park

Newcastle are sixth with 47 points, while Brentford are five places below them with six fewer points. Alexander Isak has scored 24 goals for Magpies in all competitions, including the winner against Liverpool in the EFL Cup final, and online bookmakers are paying $2.10 for the Newcastle striker to add to his tally.

Southampton v Crystal Palace

Thursday, April 3 – 5:45am AEDT – St Mary’s Stadium

Sitting 12th after a three-game win streak, Crystal Palace will look to make light work of Southampton, who remain bottom of the EPL table after a five-game losing run. Buoyed by their 3-0 win over Fulham in the FA Cup quarterfinals, back Palace to cruise to a third consecutive victory over the struggling Saints.

Liverpool v Everton

Thursday, April 3 – 6am AEDT – Anfield

Leaders Liverpool will be determined to strengthen their hold on the Premier League title when they take on 15th-placed Everton. Mohamed Salah leads the Golden Boot race with 27 league goals, and the best EPL betting sites are paying $2.20 for the Liverpool forward to score again.

Chelsea v Tottenham Hotspur

Thursday, April 3 – 6am AEDT – Stamford Bridge

Beaten 1-0 by Arsenal before the international break, fourth-placed Chelsea will aim to redeem themselves against Tottenham, who sit 14th after a three-game winless run. The Blues have dominated this London derby and are poised for a fourth successive victory over Spurs.
