36/1 Premier League Stat Attack Acca

Southampton vs Chelsea

Southampton have lost six Premier League assignments on the bounce, and the Saints could be up against it again when Thomas Tuchel’s rapidly improving Chelsea land at St. Mary’s Stadium.

Southampton have conceded twice as many goals in the second half than in the first half of their Premier League home matches this season (five first half, ten second).
Chelsea have scored 12 second half goals compared to just five first half goals in their away league assignments this term.
Four of the last five goals scored in games involving Southampton were hit after the interval.

Betting tip: Half with the most goals – second half @21/20

Burnley vs West Brom

Burnley and West Brom played out a dour 0-0 draw when they last faced off in October, and another game of few chances is expected when the Clarets welcome the Baggies to Turf Moor for Saturday’s return fixture.

Burnley have only scored two goals in the final 30 minutes of their home league games all season, and both efforts were hit in the same game against Aston Villa.
Similarly, West Brom have scored just twice in the final 30 minutes of their away league assignments this term.
Burnley and WBA are among the three lowest scoring teams in the division this season alongside Sheffield United.

Betting tip: Late goal after 70:59 – no @5/6

Fulham vs Sheffield United

Fulham are plotting a great escape, and the Cottagers can boost their slim survival hopes with a victory over bottom club Sheffield United in London.

Fulham have gone in level at half time in 10 of their 23 Premier League fixtures this season.
Similarly, Sheffield United have been drawing at half time in 10 of their 24 top-flight tests this term.
Fulham and Sheffield United were all square at half time when they last face off at Bramall Lane in October.

Betting tip: Half time result – Draw @1/1

West Ham vs Tottenham Hotspur

West Ham are hoping to smash through the top four glass ceiling this season and the Irons can strengthen their bid for Champions League qualification with a victory over Spurs.

Six of West Ham’s last seven Premier League goals were scored after half time.
63% of the goals scored by West Ham at home this season were hit in the second half.
100% of the last 14 goals scored by West Ham against Tottenham were notched after half time.

Betting tip: Home team highest scoring half – second @6/5

Aston Villa vs Leicester City

Aston Villa upset the odds to beat Leicester at the King Power Stadium in October. Can the Foxes exact some revenge in the rivals’ latest Midlands Derby?

Leicester (15) have scored more goals in the final 15 minutes of their games than any other team in the Premier League this season.
Away from home, only Man Utd can match Leicester’s output in the final 15 minutes of their matches (eight goals each).
Four of the five meetings between Villa and Leicester since December 2019 have produced goals in the final 15 minutes.

Betting tip: Late goal after 75:59 – yes @5/6
