Premier League Betting Insights: Jones Knows Returns with Weekend Predictions

As the Premier League season heats up, our football betting expert, Jones Knows, is back to provide his invaluable insights on every match this weekend. With a keen eye for detail and a knack for spotting value in the betting markets, Jones has crafted an 11/1 treble that could see punters cashing in. Let’s dive into the match previews and predictions for this exciting weekend of football.

Brighton vs Ipswich – Saturday 3pm

The question on everyone’s lips is: Are Brighton the real deal? After three games under the new management of Fabian Hurzeler, the Seagulls have shown promise, and the betting markets are taking notice. Brighton’s odds for a top-four finish are now comparable to those of Manchester United, sitting at 9/2 with Sky Bet, while their chances of a top-six finish have been slashed to 13/8.

With no European distractions, Brighton’s attacking prowess is a significant advantage. Kaoru Mitoma, in particular, is a player to watch. The Japanese winger is priced at 2/1 to score, and given his form last season, where he averaged nearly a goal every other game at the Amex, he looks poised to find the net again.

SCORE PREDICTION: 3-1

Crystal Palace vs Leicester – Saturday 3pm

Leicester City is struggling to find their footing this season, and their lack of attacking threat is concerning. With just 1.33 expected goals from open play in their first three matches, they appear to be in trouble. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, is starting to find their rhythm under Oliver Glasner. Their midfield, revitalized by Cheick Doucoure, could be the key to a comfortable home win.

A Palace victory combined with under 3.5 goals at 13/8 with Sky Bet is a tempting bet, given Leicester’s current form.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-0

Fulham vs West Ham – Saturday 3pm

This match promises to be a battle of wits, particularly on the flanks. Adama Traore’s resurgence poses a significant threat to West Ham’s left-back, Emerson Palmieri. Traore has a history of drawing fouls, and with odds of 6/4 for Emerson to commit two fouls and 9/2 for him to receive a card, there’s potential for value here. Combining both bets could yield a 7/1 shot through the BuildABet function with Sky Bet.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1

Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest – Saturday 3pm

Nottingham Forest’s defensive setup under Nuno Espirito Santo has been impressive, boasting one of the best expected goals-against outputs in the league. They have managed to keep games tight, which could frustrate a Liverpool side that has been less chaotic under Arne Slot. The total goals line is projected to be over three, but the first half under 1.5 goals at 8/11 with Sky Bet looks like a solid bet.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-0 | JONES KNOWS’ BEST BET: Under 1.5 first-half goals (8/11 with Sky Bet – part of 11/1 weekend treble!)

Man City vs Brentford – Saturday 3pm

Manchester City has been relentless this season, and their match against Brentford is expected to follow suit. While betting on City to win and Erling Haaland to score seems like a safe option, a more creative angle could be to bet on Brentford being flagged offside twice or more at 10/11 with Sky Bet. Historically, they have been caught offside frequently against City, making this a promising bet.

SCORE PREDICTION: 3-1

Aston Villa vs Everton – Saturday 5.30pm

Aston Villa is in formidable form, especially at home against lower-ranked teams. With Ollie Watkins returning from a break, he is expected to find his scoring touch again. Villa’s record against teams finishing in the bottom half last season was impressive, and a bet on Villa to win with Watkins to score at 7/4 with Sky Bet looks like a winner waiting to happen.

SCORE PREDICTION: 3-1 | JONES KNOWS’ BEST BET: Ollie Watkins to score in an Aston Villa win (7/4 with Sky Bet – part of weekend 11/1 treble)

Bournemouth vs Chelsea – Saturday 8pm

This match is set to be a thrilling encounter. Chelsea has shown flashes of brilliance but has also been inconsistent. Bournemouth’s poor record against last season’s top six raises questions about their defensive capabilities. With both teams likely to score, anytime goalscorer odds for Antoine Semenyo at 15/8 and Noni Madueke at 2/1 are worth considering.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-2

Tottenham vs Arsenal – Sunday 2pm

The North London derby is always a fiercely contested affair. With Arsenal missing key midfielders, they may adopt a cautious approach, aiming to secure a point. Their impressive away record suggests they can frustrate Spurs, who have struggled to convert shots into goals. A bet on under 2.5 goals at 11/8 with Sky Bet offers great value.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1 | JONES KNOWS’ BEST BET: Under 2.5 goals (11/8 with Sky Bet – part of 7/1 weekend treble!)

Wolves vs Newcastle – Sunday 4.30pm

Expect a fierce midfield battle in this match. Newcastle’s aggressive midfield trio could lead to a high number of fouls. Wolves’ Mario Lemina has been fouled frequently, and the odds of 7/2 for him to be fouled twice against Newcastle’s physical midfield looks promising.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1
