Crystal Palace vs Ipswich | March 8 | 10:00AM ET<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Crystal Palace -210 | Ipswich +565 | Draw +355<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Two teams in some very different form take to the pitch this Saturday as Crystal Palace, who have won three of their last four games in the Premier League, entertain an Ipswich Town side who are still a full six points adrift from safety given their calamitous -31 goal differential currently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That form for both teams continued in last week\u2019s FA Cup matchups also with Ipswich bowing out to Nottingham Forest on penalties in what was a spirited display overall, while Crystal Palace put out South London rivals Millwall via a 3-1 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That victory however didn\u2019t come without cost as Millwall’s goalkeeper Liam Robert\u2019s instigated a dangerous high-challenge on Palace frontman Jean-Philippe Mateta which left the striker needing 25 stitches and an as yet unknown return date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Former Arsenal man Eddie Nketiah has scored in successive matches for Crystal Palace however, so the Eagles do have a natural replacement for Mateta while he remains out, although it\u2019s still no doubt a serious blow to their offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite Palace\u2019s good run of late, they simply haven\u2019t been as good defensively at home this season as they have been on the road, especially in the first-half of games, keeping a clean sheet in just 43% of their home starts this season inside the opening 45 minutes compared with a much higher 77% of their away starts (#1 in the league overall).<\/p>\n\n\n\n At a current price of +215, Ipswich to score inside the first half on Saturday, something they\u2019ve done in 54% of all of their road games this season, looks like one of the bets of the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tottenham +160 | Bournemouth +150 | Draw +285<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tottenham\u2019s three-game winning stretch in the Premier League came to a halt last week as they lost 1-0 to Manchester City in London, and they\u2019ll be eager to get back to winning ways this weekend against Bournemouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That won\u2019t be easy however as the Cherries sit six places above them in the table, and beat Tottenham in the return fixture back in December also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That said, Bournemouth have hit a rough patch of late, winning just one of their last four Premier League starts overall, but have been more dependable away from home this season, losing just one of their last nine road games across all competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A lot will depend on Tottenham\u2019s incredibly tricky tie away to AZ Alkmaar on Thursday evening, a team that knocked out Galatasaray in the previous round and who have won ten of their last eleven games at home as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tottenham\u2019s squad depth isn\u2019t the deepest, and they may well struggle to regroup in time for Sunday\u2019s early kick-off against Bournemouth, a game that arguably means a lot more to Bournemouth as well given how close they are to a potential European spot in the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both of these teams rank as two of the highest goal-frequency sides in the entire league this season, especially early on, with Bournemouth witnessing at least one first-half goal in 86% of all of their road matches, with the exact same percentage hitting in Tottenham\u2019s home matches also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With an implied probability of 72.2%, even at the current line of -260 right now, we\u2019re arguably still getting value on the Over 1 goal prop in the first-half at current lines (with exactly one goal being a push), and that\u2019s the way we’re going to play this one on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n West Ham +215 | Newcastle +125 | Draw +250<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Newcastle have found their push into the European spots floundering across recent weeks, losing three of their last four games in the Premier League, which has put a dent into those European hopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Luckily for Newcastle however, the teams above them in the table, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Nottingham Forest, have also been losing ground of late, leaving the Magpies just two points off 5th spot currently despite their recent poor run of form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For West Ham, it\u2019s been all about avoiding the relegation battle this season after a dreadful start to their 2024\/25 campaign under former manager Julen Lopetegui, with Graham Potter now being the man in charge of putting that right and ensuring the Hammers have some daylight between themselves and the bottom of the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Back-to-back wins for West Ham have certainly helped in that endeavor, beating both Arsenal and Leicester City in quick succession, and perhaps most impressively for Hammers fans, the fact that West Ham kept two clean sheets in those two wins also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That hasn\u2019t been the case for this Newcastle team this season however, who\u2019s low 29% clean sheet percentage in road first-halves this year sits as one of the lowest percentages in the entire league, with only the bottom-two clubs of Southampton and Leicester owning worse overall percentages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With West Ham going off at plus money right now to add to Newcastle\u2019s first-half woes, this is an easy pick to make for Monday’s game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SPECIAL OFFER FOR FIRST TIME SUBSCRIBERS<\/p>\n <\/div>\n Premier League Prediction:\u00a0<\/strong>1H
