EPL Betting Preview & Tips | Matchday 29

Fulham vs Leeds

 

The Whites will travel to Craven Cottage on Saturday, March 20 at 7:00am (all times AEDT).

 

Safety is in touching distance for Fulham as they look to claw their way out of the relegation zone this weekend.

 

The Cottagers have spent every matchweek so far this season in the bottom three and can now look to leap-frog Newcastle and/or Brighton should they claim three points against Leeds.

 

After just one win in their past six outings, Marcelo Bielsa’s men have stumbled in their pursuit for a top-half finish, currently sitting in 12th and 10 points clear of their gameweek 29 opponents.

 

Both clubs returned to the top-flight this season and have faced contrasting fortunes so far, with this weekend’s clash a key pillar in either clubs storyline of resurrection.

 

Leeds narrowly defeated the West Londoners in a 4-3 thriller at home last September, with a late comeback eventually controlled by the home side.

 

Six months on and current form suggests their next battle will be just as close, with Fulham collecting 12 points from their past eight matches.

 

Both Fulham and Leeds seem to have a leaking defensive structure this season and it will all come down to which side is more clinical once again.

Brighton vs Newcastle

 

The Seagulls will host the Magpies on Sunday, March 21 at 7:00am.

 

It will be a relegation six-pointer at The Amex this week as both clubs look to distance themselves from the bottom three.

 

With very gettable premiership points on offer for either side, it is sure to be a fiery and highly-anticipated contest for two of the league’s struggling clubs.

 

Last week’s 2-1 win away to Southampton was a massive boost for Graham Potter’s side, who currently sit three points away from the drop off in 16th.

 

That Saints victory has them one place and one point ahead of Newcastle, who have been starved of victories lately, winning just the two matches from their past 16 in the league.

 

That poor run has added immense pressure to Steve Bruce’s shoulders, with a drop to the Championship now looking very realistic.

 

The Newcastle gaffer will be hoping for a turn in the tides given Brighton were able to hammer three goals past the Magpies defense at St James’ Park earlier this season.

 

With the Seagulls returning home and looking to add a second-straight win to their survival stakes, Newcastle are sure to have their backs against the wall this weekend.

West Ham vs Arsenal

 

A London Derby will take place at London Stadium on Monday, March 22 at 2:00am.

 

Seven points separate the Hammers and Gunners as we enter the 29th matchweek as West Ham look to capitalise on a splendid season so far.

 

The Iron currently sit in fifth place and remain just three points away from the top four and hold a game-in-hand over clubs fighting below them.

 

Their form of late has been somewhat sporadic, with three wins and three losses coming in their past six fixtures.

 

The Gunners have faced clearer skies in their past month, collecting 10 points from their past five matches, with their only loss in that run coming against table-toppers Manchester City.

 

Mikel Arteta currently holds the bragging rights over David Moyes following a 2-1 victory at The Emirates in September.

 

The fortunes for both sides have been tilted since, with the Gunners currently five points off the top six.

 

A win for West Ham would put them level with Chelsea on points prior to their clash away to Wolves and an enticing clash against the Foxes in a few weeks.

 

Should Moyes and co be wanting to prove themselves to the rest of the top-four contenders, they’ll need to do so this weekend by collecting three points at home to Arsenal.
