Arsenal vs Southampton betting tips by Isaiah

Arsenal pulled out very important victory away from home against West Brom with a narrow 1:0 result. Only goal was scored by Danny Welbeck in 60th minute, while the players of West Brom had no proper answer in attack for the whole game and were stopped with ease.

With this victory behind their backs, they broke a streak of two consecutive losses (away to Swansea and at home against Manchester United), while the team now needs another three pointer in order to keep the race for the Champions League spots. Arsenal’s injury list continues to be very length, as players Kieran Gibbs, Nacho Monreal and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain all picked injury last weekend in a victory over West Brom. On the bright side, goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is back between the posts, while central defender Laurent Koscielny made return last weekend and will surely boost their morale. Ozil, Ospina, Diaby, Wilshere and Walcott all continue to be long term absentees.

Southampton was completely outplayed last weekend, for the first time this season, as the team suffered unexpectedly easy loss at home against Manchester City 0:3. The game was quite balanced in the first halftime, but the visitors entered the second half with upped tempo and looked more than dominant.

Even though Citizens were left playing with a man less since 74th minute when Mangala got red carded, visitors remained better on the field and managed to score two more goals in last ten minutes of the game – exactly when the hosts were expected to attack and revert the score. Defensive midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin (15/3) picked up an injury in a defeat against Citizens and will miss this game. On the bright side, other defensive midfielder Jack Cork (10/2) is back for this game. Midfielder James Ward- Prowse (5/0) and forward Sam Gallagher (no performance this season) are out injured.

There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Arsenal’s last 6 home games in the Premier League. Open game is expected here, with both teams switching to attacking formations this time. Arsenal comes from a victory and will surely play to get another one, while it’s hard to imagine that the visitors will once again stay without a goal scored, having in mind what quality they have in offensive lineup.

Bet: Over 2.5 goals

Everton vs Hull betting tips by Isaiah

Everton had quite a nice performance last weekend, but didn’t manage to stay undefeated away to Tottenham in their 2:1 narrow loss. They took the lead in 15th minute with a goal from Mirallas, while the hosts replied well with two goals till the halftime (21st minute Eriksen and 45th Soldado).

However, it has to be said that the visiting side had much more of the ball possession and had quite fair amount of goalscoring chances, actually deserving a draw in that game. They are having three victories at home in last four matches in all competitions and are surely aiming for another one tonight as they would approach even closer to European positions in case of a victory. James McCarthy and Steven Naismith are back in contention for this game after sitting out previous match. Central defenders John Stones (5/0) and Antolin Alcatraz (3/0) and left back Bryan Oviedo (1/0) and defensive midfielder Darron Gibson (6/0) all remain sidelined with long term injuries.

Hull didn’t manage to be competitive in away clash against Manchester United as they suffered 3:0 defeat. Game was already decided in the first halftime as the hosts had 2:0, while the visitors generally didn’t show anything in attack and had one of the most unimpressive performances in the season.

This was fourth consecutive defeat for the team, as they now have entered the relegation zone, having only a point less than rock bottom placed Leicester. Team is playing very uncreative and unimpressive football having scored only a single goal in last five encounters, quite lucky and early goal at home against Spurs three weeks ago. Offensive midfielder Gaston Ramirez (8/0) is suspended for this one, while forward Abel Hernandez (8/3) has been given a week of absence following birth of his child. Attacking midfielders Robert Snodgrass (1/0) and Robbie Brady (8/0)
will miss here too.

Everton have scored at least 2 goals in 11 of their last 12 home matches in the Premier League. Everton have scored at least 2 goals in their last 7 matches against Hull. Everton have won 5 of their last 6 matches against Hull.

Everton is playing very well in recent weeks, as they had eight matches undefeated run before last weekend. They did much better at home in previous games and have every reason to be big favorites against completely out of form Hull, team that hardly scores in away matches.

Bet: Everton Wins @ 1.55

Lille vs PSG betting tips by Neuro

Lille continues their poor form with a narrow 1:0 loss away to Bordeaux last weekend. Neither of the teams tried to much on the field, with the players of Lille looking just a bit more active, scoring the only goal in 62nd minute from Diabate.

Visitors didn’t manage to reply for the remaining thirty minutes, neither looking like they want to – as the team shows great lack of quality in the creative midfield and attack. They are now on a run of ten matches with not a single victory in all competitions as they now stand only two points away from relegation zone. Atmosphere is pretty poor right now, while the team can’t count on more positive result after this game. Very important central defender Marko Basa (16/0) is having a hamstring injury and won’t perform, as well as offensive midfielder Marcos Lopes (9/1). Coach Girard is happy to have Sébastien Corchia, Franck Beria and Pape Souare back here.

PSG now earned their ninth victory in a row in all competitions, coming from a 1:0 victory over Nice at home. Only goal was scored via penalty kick in 15th minute by Ibrahimovic, while the team didn’t show anything special for the whole game, being obviously satisfied with the narrow lead.

After Tuesday’s setback of Marseille in a 1:1 draw away to Lorient, PSG now has a chance to get back to the first position in case of a victory here. They are still undefeated in the league with 9-6-0 record, while it seems that poor form of their creative midfielders is past now and that the team scores with more ease in recent weeks. Marco Verratti is available here according to their coach Blanc. Thiago Motta and David Luiz are likely to sit out here and be rested. Substitute central midfielder Clement Chantome (8/0) and midfielder Yohan Cabaye (11/1) are out injured for this one.

PSG have won their last 6 matches in Ligue 1. Lille have lost 5 of their last 6 matches in Ligue 1. Lille have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 3 home matches against PSG. Having in mind both team’s forms, it’s hard to imagine anything but away victory here. PSG might rest once again their biggest star Ibrahimovic, but they have much more quality in whole roster and the hosts shouldn’t be able to
stay competitive with them for whole ninety minutes.

Bet: PSG Wins @ 1.78

Nice vs Rennes betting tips by Isaiah

Nice couldn’t do much more last weekend, as the team visited PSG and actually pulled out quite a good performance in only narrow 1:0 defeat. Only goal was scored in 15th minute from a penalty kick from Ibrahimovic, as the home team looked like satisfied with a narrow victory for the whole game.

Despite huge ball possession on their side, they didn't create many chances, while Nice actually had quite nice share of chances created, but without any goal scored. Even though they played well, team now has fourth match in a row without a victory, as they continue to be in the middle of the table, four points above the relegation zone. Coach Claude Puel will not be able to call on central defender Didier Digard (5/0) and his defending partner Mathieu Bodmer (9/1) once again due to injury. Play maker Carlos Eduardo didn’t play in previous game, but should
start here.

Rennes pulled out very important 2:0 victory at home against Bordeaux last weekend. Team opened the game in the best possible way, as they scored two goals in first twenty minutes (own goal and goal from Toivonen), sealing the victory with ease in the remaining of the match.

This was their third consecutive victory, as the team also has no defeat in last eight matches in all competitions, showing very good form at the moment. They climbed up to sixth position at the moment, being only two points below the Champions League places while their atmosphere surely now can’t be much higher in the locker room. Very important defensive midfielder Gelson Fernandes (15/0) is suspended for this game, while the visitors also can’t count at offensive midfielder Kamil Grosicki (8/0), doubtful is central midfielder Sanjin Prcic (7/0). After three months of recovery time, Christian Bruls is now ready to compete for a starting spot on the wing.

Rennes have won their last 3 matches in Ligue 1. Rennes plays more than well at the moment and have every chance to walk away with something here. On the other hand, Nice will be playing for a victory here, in an attacking manner they always do at home. Goals are expected here, with chances for both teams to score being bigger than 50%.

Bet: Both teams to score
