Premier League Matchday 27 Preview: Top Five are Banker Bets

Following the thrills and spills of the Carabao Cup final last Sunday, there is a full schedule of Premier League games to look forward to this weekend. 
 
The top five teams each have winnable looking games, setting up what looks to be a good opportunity to hit football betting sites where it hurts. 
 
Read on as we look at some of the best Premier League games for Matchday 27 to highlight the key betting angles to consider. 

Highlights

  • Top five look set for productive weekend.
  • Bottom half odds worth exploring.
  • Over 1.5 goals market can deliver.

Top Five Fancied to Triumph

Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal look banker bets to win their respective games this weekend and keep their title challenges on track. 
 
Fourth-placed Aston Villa are also fancied to triumph at Luton Town, while Tottenham Hotspur should emerge victorious at home to Crystal Palace. 
 
The five-fold is priced at over 4/1 on several UK betting apps and should deliver a healthy winning return to punters this weekend. 

Underachievers Offer an Enticing Betting Opportunity

Newcastle United and Chelsea have underachieved in the Premier League this season, with both clubs currently languishing in mid-table. 
 
They are placed 10th and 11th heading into the latest round of matches, but are each priced at odds of 6/1 on UK betting sites to finish the season in the bottom half. 
 
It looks increasingly likely with each passing week that one of them will finish outside the top 10, so covering both outcomes to equal stakes is a sensible play. 

Goals on the Cards Again This Weekend

Goalkeepers were beaten 27 times in eight games last weekend, continuing this season’s trend of goals flying in across the Premier League. 
 
It will likely be a similar story this weekend, which makes wagering on all ten games to have over 1.5 goals a tempting proposition. 
 
Odds of around 3/1 for the ten-fold on new betting sites are perhaps a little skinny, but should give punters a good run for their money.
