Saturday- English Premier League

Sorry to anyone who followed if you watched the Brentford game it was just their day.

Brentford vs. Manchester United

12:30 PM – Its a slightly after noon start for the American audience meaning a 6:30 PM start in London where the Brentford Bees host the Manchester United Red Devils. Week 1 has the media calling Man U embarrassing and after all that talk about one of the most popular heaviest bet teams in Premier League this is a spot where they may have a better performance. Last year they scored 3 in both games vs. Brentford winning both allowing only one goal in the two games, while they did tie in a Club Friendly in 2021 those are the only matchups since the 1940’s. At even money I like the Red Devils to put that horrible start behind them and try to get some points on the table. Other way’s to bet beside the side play is Man U over .5 a heavy -500 and over 1.5 at -105 or if your feeling a bit risky over 2.5 +300. My opinion of course won’t make anything happen as sometimes we expect a team to crush the other and underestimate a team that has earned their way into one of the top leagues in the world. That being said my picks are Manchester United – Even on the money line and Manchester United over 1.5

Aston Villa vs. Everton

It was a losing via shutout week 1 for Aston Villa 0-2 in a losing effort at Bournemouth, Everton went down 0-1 to Chelsea as well. Recent history favors The Villans here as they have 4w and 2d last six vs. Everton. Everton have failed to score in each of their last three away Premier League matches against Aston Villa, attempting 38 shots without success. Everton won just two away Premier League games in 2021-22. The only stat of previous history that would concern you is Everton are unbeaten in their first away league game in each of the last 11 seasons (W5 D6) and  they’ve lost both of their opening two league games in just one of the last 31 top-flight campaigns, doing so in 2009-10. Taking that into consideration I think both teams score here after being held to clean sheets week 1. Aston is definitely a danger to win as the odds have them -120, with both sides needing a point on the table my pick is a draw here at +250.
