Betting Tips & Predictions in the Premier League This Weekend
Last weekend saw lots of winning Gold tips. As well as our main tips and selections lower down, please also keep in mind:
- Tottenham’s trip to Brighton is “under review” after at least 8 team members and five backroom staff reported positive for Covid. In the unlikely event it goes ahead, Brighton will have a big advantage – so monitor this one before betting.
- Chelsea flew back from Russia in the early hours of Thursday morning after a hard 3-3 draw, so will feel underprepared and overworked for their match at home to an improved Leeds. The European Champions remain hot favourites, of course, but their form has dipped while Leeds have been defeated once in 5 games. If you can afford to lose some money as we are not making this a firm prediction, is it worth a modest flutter on Chelsea-Leeds to draw at Premiership odds of 5.8? Chelsea are now only 9th best in home form in the Premier League while their opponents are up to 11th for away form.
- Man Utd should beat Norwich, even though Dean Smith has got the Canaries singing again. You can get Premier League odds of 1.5. New manager Ralf Ragnick, the former Bundesliga legend, rested a lot of senior players in the Champions League home tie this week, so the Red Devils should be relatively fresh.
- With defensive injury worries and having faced a Europa League match on Thursday, West Ham won’t be at their best so we think a stubborn Burnley could get something from the match at home. Consider Burnley on a handicap.
There is no shortage of Premier League bets that could win you money today if you back our predictions and pro-betting tips.

Friday – Premier League Matchday 16: Brentford – Watford
These promoted teams should be broadly happy with their season. But Brentford’s brilliant start has faded with just one win in 8, while likeable new Watford boss Claudio Ranieri has lost six of his first 8 matches. With Watford’s crazy owners he must be growing concerned.
We predict a Brentford win, as the Hornets have tasted defeat in 4 of their last 5 matches and are rock bottom of the form table. Most worrying of all, they have an expected xGA of 1.99.
Brentford are not exactly on fire but they have avoided losing in three out of their last five and are, in our view, just that bit better.
Brentford were super secure at the back but at times lately they have been opened up more times than the Bank of Spain in Money Heist. Their xGA has risen to 1.66 with an xGF of 1.44.
Gold’s Premier League Odds Home Win: 2.16
Gold’s Premiership Odds Draw: 3.5
Gold’s EPL Odds Away Win: 3.75
Gold’s pro betting prediction: Home
Gold’s pro betting tip: Brentford draw no bet, Premiership odds 1.56. But the bet will will wager is over 2.5 goals at Prem odds of 2.00 as both are leakier than a baby’s nappy
Saturday – Premier League Matchday 16: Arsenal – Southampton
Don’t worry, Gold has not lost its golden touch, but we are betting big on Arsenal. Yes, we know they have lost 3 of their last 4 Premiership matches. But they were all away from the Emirates. At home only City and Liverpool have a higher xPoints per match.
Arsenal’s home stats are impressive: 2.16 xGF, 1.1 xGA per match.
Southampton couldn’t win for ages, then suddenly sprung into life but seem to have fallen to sleep again. They haven’t won in 4 matches.
Away the Southampton defence can be breached all too easily: their xGA is 1.82.
Gold’s Premier League Odds Home Win: 1.7
Gold’s Premiership Odds Draw: 4.00
Gold’s EPL Odds Away Win: 5.8
Gold’s Pro Betting Prediction: Home win
Gold’s Pro Betting Tip: Home win plus over 1.5 home goals at Premier League odds of 1.74
Saturday – Premier League Betting Guide Matchday 16: Liverpool – Aston Villa
Steven Gerrard’s return to Anfield. The player idolised by the Kop now wants to stop Jurgen Klopp, and has had an excellent start as Villa manager. Liverpool score a crazy number of goals (2.76 xGF per game) but Gerrard has 3 victories in 4. In that time Villa have let in just four goals, and this included matches against high scoring Leicester and City. In those four matches Villa has enjoyed the third best xGA in the Premier League.
But in Liverpool, Villa face the country’s best attack. The Reds only just beat Wolves last weekend but could have scored six. So far this season they have an amazing 2.76 xGF per game.
Liverpool flew home from Milan celebrating victory midweek so have enjoyed less rest or preparation.
Bookies predict Liverpool will get lots of goals but we will take a chance that Villa under Gerrard will block a lot of Liverpool’s goal threat.
Gold’s Premier League Odds Home Win: 2.5
Gold’s Premiership Odds Draw: 3.4
Gold’s EPL Odds Away Win: 3.03
Gold’s pro betting prediction: Home
Gold’s pro betting tip: Under 2.5 goals at Premier League odds of 3.1
Sunday – Premier League Betting Guide Matchday 16: Leicester – Newcastle
This is another match in our Premier League betting guide that intrigues us. New Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has his team’s first win while Leicester have suffered lately, letting in goals.
Not only did they have to travel to Napoli on Thursday in the Europa League, they had seven players unavailable from Covid.
The Foxes have let in two or more in 4 league games. Since the start of last month they have been the poorest defensive team in the Premier League (2.34 xGA over 5 games).
And Jamie Vardy and their other excellent attackers have lost their potency (xGF of 1.31 on that run).
Could the Geordies get a draw or even a win? Expect goals either way.
Gold’s Premier League Odds Home Win: 1.7
Gold’s Premiership League Odds Draw: 4.33
Gold’s EPL Odds Away Win: 3.45
Gold’s pro betting prediction: Draw
Gold’s pro betting tip: Great odds on the draw, or get Newcastle on a handicap to win. Both teams score Premiership odds of 1.66
