Premier League Matchday 32 Odds, Picks & Prediction
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Manchester United (+380) vs. Liverpool (-165), DRAW (+390) | O/U 3.5 (-120/+100)
Sunday's action gets underway with a marquee matchup as Manchester United gears up to host Liverpool. The visiting Reds enter the weekend at the top of the table (70 points), while the Red Devils are sixth (48 points). Kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. ET from Old Trafford in Manchester, England.
It has been a rollercoaster ride of a season for Erik ten Hag and his United team. The team appears to be back on the downswing, as they're just 1-1-3 in their last five Premier League matches. The defense has mainly been exposed. Over the five-game sample size, United has conceded 2.0 goals per match. Obviously, we all saw the 4-3 barnburning loss to Chelsea last time out.
Having a susceptible defense against this red-hot Liverpool team isn't a great recipe. Jurgen Klopp's men have netted 70 goals this term (2.3 GPG), which trails only Arsenal's 72. I think we're in for another high-scoring contest on Sunday, and with the form of the two sides, I expect Liverpool to pull ahead and secure the three points. They're 6-1-0 in their last seven matches, out-scoring their opposition 18-6. They've conceded one goal in all but one of those matches.
Bet: Liverpool To Win & Both Teams To Score (+120)
Sheffield United (+550) vs. Chelsea (-245), DRAW (+450) | O/U 3.5 (+100/-125)
It has been an ugly season for Chris Wilder and his Sheffield United club. They're dead last in the table entering the weekend, having secured only 15 points. They'll host a Chelsea side that's unbeaten (3-3-0) in their last six PL matches and has climbed to 10th in the table (43 points). This one gets underway at 12:30 p.m. ET from Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England.
I typically always have a plan to fade the Blades; the question is simply in which form that fade will come. Rather than lay the over 1.5 goals, I'll opt for a player prop on Sunday. I'm taking Cole Palmer, who is -150 to score, to be the first or last goalscorer at +135. Palmer has been on fire recently, racking up six goals in his last three matches. He's up to 16 tallies on the year, which is by far the leader on the team. The next closest is Nicolas Jackson, who has nine goals.
The 21-year-old Palmer will have the opportunity to carve up Sheffield's 20th-ranked defense. They've conceded 80 goals over 30 games (2.7 GA/G)! To put that into perspective, back in 2007-2008, Derby County allowed 89 goals while enduring an 11-point season. That's the record. Palmer's on fire and taking on a historically bad defense. I think he scores for a fourth straight game. Let's try to eliminate some of the juice by playing the first/last prop.
Bet: Cole Palmer To Score First or Last (+135)
Tottenham (-260) vs. Nottingham Forest (+650), DRAW (+450) | O/U 3.5 (+110/-135)
The Spurs are gunning for a top-four spot on the table, and they're currently fifth in the standings (57 points). Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest is looking to avoid relegation, sitting in 17th place with a three-point cushion over Luton Town. This Matchday 32 finale is set for Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.
I was back and forth on how to play Tottenham's team total for this game. They're -295 to score over 1.5 goals but also -140 to score under 2.5 goals. I was leaning toward the under at 2.5 goals, but I will take a shot at the exact goal total for the Spurs. I'll play them at +210 to score exactly twice against Forest.
Nottingham has been very stingy defensively lately, allowing just one goal in each of their last six matches. Overall, they're 14th defensively, where they've given up 53 goals over 31 matches (1.7 GA/G). Considering Nuno Espírito Santo's squad has struggled on the road (2-4-9), combined with Tottenham's capable offense, I expect Forest to concede at least twice on Sunday. They've allowed 30 road goals over 15 matches, which equates to 2.0 goals against per game. Let's take a shot with this plus-money prop to round out the weekend!
Bet: Tottenham Exact Team Goals: 2 (+210)
