WEST HAM v BOURNEMOUTH – Click here to bet
West Ham are currently 6th on the table and undefeated in their last 5 games. They are coming off back-to-back draws, away at Sheffield United 2-2 and 0-0 at home to Brighton. West Ham are undefeated in their last 5 home games winning 3 and drawing 2.
Bournemouth are 13th on the log and they are coming off back-to-back defeats, 4-0 at home to Liverpool and 3-1 away at Tottenham. 13 of their 25 points have come on the road this season where they have won 4 and drawn 1 of their 10 matches. Their recent defeat to Tottenham halted a run of 4 successive away victories.
The reverse fixture finished 1-1 at Bournemouth and last season West Ham did the double over Bournemouth and won this fixture 2-0.
West Ham are 14/10 with the draw on offer at 11/4 and Bournemouth 18/10 at the time of writing.
I am tempted by the 14/10 West Ham, but it is the goal markets here that I am going to focus on. 3 of the last 4 Bournemouth matches have delivered profits for over 3.5 goal backers and I think the goals are going to flow in this one.
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 31/20

WOLVES v MANCHESTER UNITED – Click here to bet
Wolves are currently 11th on the log and they have taken 10 points from the last 12 they have played for. Their most recent match was a goalless draw at Brighton. Their last home game was a 3-0 win over Everton. Wolves have only lost twice in 10 matches at home this season and they have won 4 and drawn 1 of their last 5 home games.
Manchester United have slipped to 9th on the table after only winning 1 of their last 6 starts. They drew 2-2 at home to Tottenham last time out and their last away game was a shock 2-1 defeat to Nottingham. They have only taken 1 point from the last 12 they have played for on the road.
Manchester United won the reverse fixture 1-0 and they did the double over Wolves last season winning this fixture 1-0.
Wolves are priced at 7/4 for the win with the draw 26/10 and Manchester United 31/20.
I think the draw is a big runner here, but I can’t resist under 2.5 goals, a bet which would have arrived in the last 5 League meetings between the sides.
Suggested Bet: Under 2.5 goals at 21/20
