Premier League Matchday 20 Preview & Best Bets (2024)
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Fulham (-180) vs. Ipswich Town (+475), DRAW (+340) | O/U 2.5 (-140/+110)
Sunday morning's slate gets underway with an interesting match between Fulham and Ipswich Town. The hosts currently reside in ninth in the table at 7-8-4 (29 points), while the visiting Tractor Boys are just below the relegation line in 18th (3-6-10, 15 points). Kickoff is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. ET from Craven Cottage in London.
I'm fairly confident the Cottagers will prevail at home in this game against the lowly visitors. Neither offense is very dynamic, so the potential range of scores we're looking at in this contest is narrow. The -180 Moneyline is a bit steep to pay, so I'll pivot and lay the full goal with Fulham. A 2-0 score in favor of the hosts is realistic, and there's a chance we escape with a push if it ends 2-1 or 1-0.
We'll need Fulham's defense to show up, and luckily for us, they've been a serviceable unit this campaign. They're eighth in goals conceded (25) and fifth in expected goals against (xGA) with a mark of 23.4.
The Cottagers are tasked with slowing down a Tractor Boys offense ranked 18th in goals scored (18) and 19th in expected goals at 17.7. Across 19 matches, those each average out to fewer than one goal scored per match. I like Fulham's chances at a clean sheet, which should pave a path for us to cover the one-goal spread.
Bet: Fulham -1.0 (-115)
Liverpool (-310) vs. Manchester United (+700), DRAW (+475) | O/U 3.5 (+100/-130)
A marquee contest between Liverpool and Manchester United closes Sunday's action in England. And while United may be a headliner in terms of popularity, they haven't been playing like it, as they're 14th in the table at 6-4-9 (22 points). The hosts reside atop the table at 14-3-1 (45 points). Kickoff is slated for 11:30 a.m. ET from Anfield in Liverpool.
The Red Devils haven't managed to score a goal in three straight matches. They've recently been blanked by Bournemouth (3-0), Wolverhampton (2-0) and Newcastle (2-0). I certainly don't expect their offense to get back on track against the Reds. Liverpool brings in the best overall defense (17 goals against) and they're second in xGA (16.7). They've allowed only six goals across nine home matches this year.
With all of that said, I have no issue taking a shot at Liverpool -1.5 in this contest. Arne Slot's offense has been on a tear recently, scoring 14 goals over their last three English Premier League (EPL) matches. They enter the weekend ranked first in both goals scored (45) and xG (41.3).
As you noticed above, United has conceded multiple goals in each of their last three matches. These teams are trending in opposite directions, and Liverpool should lay it on the visitors as they continue to chug along toward an EPL title.
Bet: Liverpool -1.5 (-125)
Wolverhampton (+225) vs. Nottingham Forest (+130), DRAW (+130) | O/U 2.5 (+100/-130)
The matchday concludes on Monday, and this contest between Wolverhampton and Nottingham Forest should be a fun one. The Tricky Trees own a coveted top-four spot, currently sitting in third at 11-4-4 (37 points). Wolverhampton is just above the relegation line in 17th at 4-4-11 (16 points). Kickoff is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. ET from Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton.
I'm not sure what's going on with these Moneyline odds. The fact Nottingham Forest can be locked in as high as +130 to win seems like a steal. My theory is that it reflects the general public's lack of trust in Forest, and they're not ready to take them seriously as a real contender.
Well, all Nuno Espirito Santo's men have done is win their last five matches, out-scoring the opposition 10-3 over the five-match span. They have a legit defense, and all things considered, this sets up as a spot where they can secure three points on the road.
Keeping it with Nottingham's defense, they're third in both goals against (19) and xGA (19.8). The Wanderers' offense has shown some life lately, but it has also been a favorable run out in terms of their schedule. I think the Trees stonewall them in this game, creating a path to victory for the visitors.
On the flip side, Wolverhampton's defense has been a liability, ranking dead last in goals allowed (42) and 14th in xGA (30.7). Let's back Nottingham Forest on the road Monday.
Bet: Nottingham Forest Moneyline (+130)
