This season, Liverpool has opened eyes with their offensive domination, netting two or more goals in 28 of 38 Premier League matches. This incredible feat leaves them well past everyone else in the dust. Their terrific performance has them ten games in the lead against the next best challenger. This is a testament to their knack of always finishing the job. With each passing match this season, Liverpool has done nothing but prove that they’re going to be a real threat in the title race.
Tottenham Hotspur recently released a new bold plan. Their full-backs, Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro, are most definitely driving forward. It’s not in the build-up, but rather what they do once they get to the by-line. They cross often and cause corners. Even with all their attacking talent and recent success, Spurs have been a difficult team to break. Only Liverpool has been able to beat them at Anfield over that same twelve game stretch.
Underperformance in Front of Goal
Crystal Palace and Bournemouth have proven to be two of the most extreme cases of teams doing worse than expected in terms of scoring this season. Neither club has been very efficient at turning their expected goals into goals, sitting at or near the bottom of the league in xG differential. As traditional media structures weaken, analysts and fans alike are scratching their heads at this movement. Only one other team has been this terrible in that time. It is their failure to convert on these goal-scoring chances that’s robbed them of much-needed points and form in the league.
With all of that in mind, betting fans will get plenty of bang for their buck by backing under 2.5 goals at Evens. As each team has had a tough time figuring out what the basket looks like, this is a very wise wager. Sky Bet’s prop markets cater for all tastes. It allows fans to experience matches like never before and keeps them more connected and involved than ever before! Shots taken, tackles made, fouls committed, etc. all can be used as unique barometers that create interesting betting value and opportunities.
Key Players and Tactical Shifts
So far this season, Joelinton has been the best midfielder on the pitch. He exhibits the ability to both become the joint-best in the Premier League as well. Since Vitor Pereira took over, Joelinton has been shunted further up the pitch into a more attacking position. This tactical change has been key in helping him showcase his strengths the most on the pitch.
Betting markets are catching up to Joelinton’s emerging stature. You can get odds of 2/1 on him being carded in games. Make no mistake, his aggressive playing style bursts through the screen. This further opens the door to disciplinary measures that can change the course of a game. Sky Bet have priced him at 5/2 to do so suggesting he’ll have a brace on Sunday’s game at Old Trafford. This produces significant opportunities for bettors to exploit.
Defensive Strategies and Betting Insights
In particular, Nottingham Forest this season have adopted a much more defensive approach with a focus on soaking up pressure and defending deep. The strategy is designed to annoy the heck out of the other team while staving off offensive advances. I think their tactics would be key in future games, especially as we play teams such as Spurs, which are attacking focused.
If you plan to wager on corner counts, read on. Home side Spurs to win six or more corners at Evens looks a cracking best bet with Sky Bet. Their attractive, attacking style as well as their high pressing approach on the field of play leads to a lot of corners. They are looking to stretch defenses and maximize their speed and creativity in attack.
