5 Premier League BTTS Tips to Watch This Weekend - Gameweek 2

Saturday’s only 3pm kickoff is at Elland Road this weekend as last year’s Championship winners Leeds United face playoff champions Fulham.

Both sides were defeated in their opening matches by Liverpool and Arsenal, respectively, but it was Leeds’ brave attacking display that caught the eye of many, scoring three goals from all of their three shots on target in the match. Fulham, on the other hand, rarely threatened Arsenal’s rearguard at Craven Cottage, drawing a blank throughout and losing 3-0.

Five of the previous eight games between these two newly promoted clubs have seen BTTS but under 3.5 goals on each occasion, including four consecutive 1-1 draws between 2015 and 2017, infact, there has not been over 3.5 goals in the last 11 matches between them, stretching back to Leeds’ last Premier League home game against Fulham in December 2003.

Sunday’s early fixture see’s Southampton host Tottenham at St. Mary’s with both sides seeking a first win after both fell to defeat on the opening weekend.

Southampton have the upper hand in terms of preparation with an extra day in between their previous fixture, an EFL Cup tie with Brentford on Wednesday, while Tottenham Hotspur had to travel back from Bulgaria after Thursday’s Europa League tie with Lokomotiv Plovdiv, in which they progressed unconvincingly with a 2-1 win.

The two faced off in a high scoring FA Cup replay last season with Tottenham coming out 3-2 victors and recent games between the sides suggest something similar may be on the cards. 10 of the last 11 meetings have seen BTTS and since Southampton’s promotion to the Premier League in 2012, seven matches have seen both BTTS and over 3.5 goals scored.

Therefore, BTTS and over 2.5 goals is our tip for this one, priced at 11/4 - click here to claim.

Two of last season’s top four meet at Stamford Bridge as the champions travel to face Frank Lampard’s newly assembled Chelsea side with Timo Werner and Kai Havertz set for their home debuts on Sunday.

Both sides registered opening day wins against Brighton and Leeds, respectively, but this clash may tell us whether there will be a change to the status quo this season as Chelsea have spent big in order to challenge the likes of Liverpool at the top of the table.

Despite last season’s 5-3 thriller at the back end of last season at Anfield, the fixture notoriously sees very few goals, but BTTS happens frequently, as seen in the last meeting at Stamford Bridge last season, where the Reds won 2-1 win.

14 of the last 21 competitive encounters between Chelsea and Liverpool have seen BTTS and under 3.5 goals and you can get it at odds of 11/10 - click here to have it in your bet slip.

Burnley were one of the four sides not in Premier League action thanks to the decision to allow both Manchester sides extra time to recover after their European campaigns in August, so their season begins with a trip to the King Power to face last season’s fifth-place side Leicester.

The Foxes narrowly missed out on Champions League football last season after some underwhelming performances post-lockdown saw them squander a healthy advantage to lose fourth spot to Manchester United on the final day, losing 2-0 to the Red Devils.

Burnley finished a very respectable 10th as Sean Dyche’s efficient tactics enabled another successful season in which they avoided a relegation battle.

The sides very rarely produce high scoring encounters against one another though as there have been only two occasions where over 3.5 goals have been scored in the fixture since the turn of the millennium, however, BTTS has come in four of the last five meetings, with under 3.5 goals each time.

Manchester City’s attempts to win back the Premier League title from their North West rivals Liverpool begins at Molineux on Monday night, as they were permitted to have an extra week of pre-season after reaching last season’s Champions League quarter-finals.

Wolves have made a strong start, winning 2-0 at last season’s surprise package Sheffield United, but in their second consecutive Monday outing, they should expect a much sterner test from Pep Guardiola’s men.

City were last season’s top scorers in the Premier League, breaking the 100-goal barrier for the second time in three seasons and don’t be surprised to see them do it once more this time around. Wolves also have a fearsome frontline with the likes of Raul Jimenez, Adama Traore and Diogo Jota at Nuno Espirito Santo’s disposal so a flurry of goals may be on the cards again at Molineux like we saw in this fixture last season when Wolves completed a league double over City, beating them 3-2.

A City win, BTTS and over 3.5 goals is our tip here at 2/1 with Sky Bet - click here to claim this and have it in your bet slip.
