Premier League Best Bets: May 6th-8th

We’ve got Premier League best bets for three matches this Saturday, May 6th. The quest is to find the best value picks for England’s top flight and we’ve got three here that fit the bill. The underdog is the theme of the day. We’ve got two underdog picks and one that looks at a goal line that really ought to be a bit higher.

Bournemouth vs Chelsea Preview

Saturday, May 6th, 15:00 (UK)

Bournemouth host Chelsea with Premier League safety just about secured for both teams. The two teams sit level on 39 points as we enter May. An extraordinary turn of events given the contrasting budgets of the clubs.

The contrast in form is almost as startling. One side has taken two points from seven matches. The other has won five of seven. The Cherries are in the ascendancy with that 4-1 win over Leeds last weekend effectively securing a spot in the Premier League for next season. It’s something that looked highly unlikely even two months ago.

For Chelsea, the question is just about how worse this can get. The 3-1 loss to Arsenal in midweek didn’t look too bad on the scoreboard but the gap looked a lot wider on the pitch. That’s four straight Premier League losses for the Blues for the first time since the 1997/98 season. They haven’t lost five in a row for 30 years.

Bournemouth vs Chelsea Best Bet

The bookies have been overrating Chelsea all season long. The Blues are as low as evens to get the win with some bookmakers. I originally earmarked a Bournemouth or draw double chance but the odds have shortened. The handicap line is at Bournemouth +0.25 which I’m still willing to get behind at those odds.

Selection: Bournemouth +0.25 Asian Handicap (TRACKED BET)
Best Odds: 2.05 (bet365)
Stakes: 6/10

Liverpool vs Brentford Preview

Saturday, May 6th, 17:30 (UK)

It’s a battle at Anfield between two sides that have found some form. Liverpool have won five straight matches for the first time this season. They’re up to 5th in the table and closing on Manchester United and Newcastle in the quest for Champions League qualification. With four games to go, their push may have come too late.

Brentford need just four points from their final four games to secure a spot in the top half of the table. It would represent a fine achievement for Thomas Frank, rubbishing any suggestions of second season syndrome. They’re well on course to do it after two straight wins. Victories over Chelsea and Nottingham Forest are one thing but they now have to go to Anfield.

Liverpool vs Brentford Best Bet

They’ll take plenty of confidence from the reverse fixture. Brentford beat the Reds 3-1 back in January. A win here would be their first ever league double over Liverpool. The Bees thrive in this kind of fixture. They’ve already taken seven points from four fixtures away at big six sides this campaign. They do their best work without the ball. According to Opta, 21 of Brentford’s 25 Premier League wins have come in matches when they’ve had less possession than their opponents.

The handicap line here is set at Liverpool -1.25. That feels more than generous to the hosts who have only won one of their last nine matches by more than one goal. I’m happy to back the visitors here.

Selection: Brentford +1.25 Asian Handicap (TRACKED BET)
Best Odds: 1.88 (bet365)
Stakes: 9/10

Brighton vs Everton Preview

Monday, May 8th, 17:30 (UK)

We conclude the long weekend with a trip to the South Coast. Brighton host Everton with one side pushing for European football and the other fighting to remain in the division. The Seagulls have time on their side with games in hand over most of their opponents. The Toffees probably need to win two of their remaining games which is a big ask considering their fixtures.

It’s a big month for Roberto De Zerbi’s side. They play seven fixtures in a little over three weeks tol decide just how high the Seagulls can fly. Brighton are in better form than their recent results suggest. The 3-1 loss to Forest was an anomaly and the 2-1 defeat at Tottenham a farce. They beat an in-form Wolves 6-0 last weekend and look good value to end the season on a high.

Brighton vs Everton Best Bet

But I’m not backing Brighton to win this game. Instead, the goal line carries more value. The bookies have it set at 3.0 which feels far too low considering the recent matches from both teams. Brighton’s last six league matches have averaged 4.0 total goals. Everton’s figure is a little lower at 2.8 but it’s still higher than the league average.

This is a BETSiE-approved tip. The old girl has the line set above 3.9. That immediately caught the eye and led to this tip.

Selection: Over 3 Total Goals (TRACKED TIP)
Best Odds: 1.98 (bet365)
Stakes: 8/10

Best odds available as at 12:30 on 4th May 2023. Odds may now differ.
