Best Weekend Prop Bets: April 8th-9th

We have a props bet preview for you ahead of the Premier League action. Liverpool and Arsenal round off the weekend in what promises to be a fascinating clash.

There are fewer kick-off times this weekend which means there fewer markets to get stuck into. However, there is plenty of value to be had with massive games at both ends of the table.

In this article:

Manchester Utd vs Everton Preview

Saturday, April 8th, 12:30 (UK)

Manchester United will host Everton in a crucial match at Old Trafford this weekend. United will be aiming to secure their position in the Champions League spots after temporarily dropping to fifth place. Although Erik Ten Hag’s team has lost only two out of their last eight matches, they have not been performing up to their usual standards of late.

On the other hand, Everton, who are currently 16th in the league, are in dire need of points as they fight against relegation. The Toffees are unbeaten in their last four matches but they haven’t won at Old Trafford since 2013.

Manchester United vs Everton Best Bet

Manchester United have been averaging 16.71 shots per game this season when playing on their home ground. Additionally, the last time these two sides met in the FA Cup at Old Trafford, Manchester United managed to register 17 shots.

Everton’s opponents have been averaging 16.57 shots per game when the Toffees are on the road. Sean Dyche’s side will have to soak up a lot of pressure here. Interestingly, they haven’t had more shots than their opponent in a Premier League away match since the opening game of this season.

Selection: Over 16.5 Shots For Man United (Tracked)
Best Odds: 1.91 (Unibet)
Stakes: 7/10

Brentford vs Newcastle Preview

Saturday, April 8th, 15:00 (UK)

Newcastle United travel to Brentford for a Premier League showdown. The Magpies will be brimming with confidence after winning their last four league games, including a notable victory over Manchester United and West Ham. With their impressive run of form, they are now sitting at 3rd place in the league.

Brentford have a chance to qualify for European football but will need to break their winless run of three games. They will rely on their solid home record, having not lost in the league at home since September. Brentford did lose 5-1 to Newcastle earlier in the season, but they will be looking to put that behind them and secure a vital win.

Brentford vs Newcastle Best Bet

Brentford need all three points here if they want to mount a challenge for European football. They are averaging 11.5 shots per game at home this season. The Bees had six shots when they played Newcastle earlier this season but they should have more attacking impetus in front of their own fans.

Newcastle tend to invite more pressure when they play away from home. They have played 14 away matches in the Premier League and their opponents are averaging 11.57 shots per game on that run.

Selection: Over 9.5 Shots For Brentford (Tracked)
Best Odds: 1.88 (Unibet)
Stakes: 7/10

Southampton vs Manchester City Preview

Saturday, April 8th, 17:30 (UK)

Manchester City’s pursuit of Arsenal for the top spot in the Premier League continues as they aim to secure yet another title. City are known for their dominant performances on the pitch, and they will be looking to maintain their form against Southampton.

Meanwhile, the Saints are languishing at the bottom of the table and are fighting for survival. With only a few games remaining, every point is crucial for the Saints, and they will need to put in a significant effort to overcome City. The bookmakers odds suggest this is a real David vs. Goliath battle.

Southampton vs Manchester City Best Bet

When Southampton travelled to Etihad earlier this season, the match saw a total of 33 tackles. The trend continued in their League Cup meeting, with a total of 37 tackles being made. City’s last six visits to this ground have seen an average of 36.5 tackles per game. This bet has landed in five of those six matches.

Southampton’s home matches are equally competitive, with an average of 38.5 tackles per game, indicating their strong defensive approach. These numbers suggest that we should see a lot of tackles again on Saturday. The Saints are in a precarious position in the league and they should come out fighting.

Selection: Over 32.5 Tackles In The Match (Tracked)
Best Odds: 2.00 (bet365)
Stakes: 8/10

Leeds vs Crystal Palace Preview

Sunday, April 9th, 14:00 (UK)

Crystal Palace and Leeds United will go head-to-head as they fight for survival, with just one point separating them in the league table. The upcoming fixture is a must-win for both sides. Defeat could see either side dragged into the midst of the relegation fight.

Roy Hodgson won his first game back in charge of Crystal Palace 2-1. The Eagles were also 2-1 victors when they played Leeds earlier this season. Leeds are coming into this one on the back of a win of their own. Three points for either side would put a nice cushion between themselves and the drop.

Leeds vs Crystal Palace Best Bet

Leeds matches see an average of 39.23 tackles per game this season. This is the most in the league by a considerable margin. Leeds made a staggering 29 tackles when they played at Selhurst Park earlier this season. Leeds themselves are averaging 22 tackles per game but they could comfortably exceed that this weekend.

Palace matches rank 3rd for the most tackles. The Eagles’ matches are averaging 35.77 tackles per game. Leicester made 24 tackles against Palace in their last match. Hodgson’s side have several players who like to dribble and draw tackles from the opposition. This bet landed the last time they played at Elland Road.

Selection: Over 22.5 Tackles For Leeds (Tracked)
Best Odds: 1.90 (bet365)
Stakes: 7/10

Liverpool vs Arsenal Preview

Sunday, April 9th, 14:00 (UK)

Liverpool earned a point at Stamford Bridge midweek but their performance was heavily criticised. Klopp’s men have looked a shadow of the team they were last season. Their form needs to improve drastically if they want to secure a spot in next season’s Champions League.

Arsenal are leading the way in the Premier League but they are being closely followed by Manchester City. Arteta knows that Anfield is a difficult place to go regardless of Liverpool’s woes . The Gunners haven’t won at this ground since 2012. Ending this torrid run would be a real morale boost for the title run-in.

Liverpool vs Arsenal Best Bet

Both of these teams favour a high defensive line. This can lead to several players being caught in offside positions. When these sides met earlier in the season, there were a whopping nine offsides in the match. Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez are frequent offenders in terms of offsides. They are both in the top five for most offsides in the Premier League.

This bet has landed in the last five matches between Arsenal and Liverpool. There has been an average of 7.4 offsides per game over that period. It has also landed in Arsenal’s last four visits to Anfield.

Selection: Over 4.5 Offsides In The Match (Tracked)
Best Odds: 1.83 (bet365)
Stakes: 7/10
