The Premier League is coming to a close, and we’re hoping to end it on a high with our acca tips for gameweek 38.
It’s the final gameweek in the Premier League. Liverpool wrapped it up early and has all but packed it in, while the bottom three clubs, Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton, have also confirmed their fate.
There’s still all to play for in those European spots. Just 3 points separate 3rd and 7th, and dropping points over the weekend could be disastrous.
Premier League Tips for Gameweek 37
Here are our tips for this weekend’s Premier League acca. A £10 bet with bet365 will get you a cool £71.92.
| Match | Market | Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea | Both Teams to Score | 57/100 |
| Manchester United vs Aston Villa | Full Time Result: Aston Villa | 7/10 |
| Fulham vs Manchester City | Over 2.5 Cards | 61/100 |
| Liverpool vs Crystal Palace | Mo Salah Over 1.5 Shots on Target | 33/50 |
Bet 1: Nottingham Forest Vs Chelsea – Both Teams to Score
Arguably, the highlight of the weekend, Forest, sitting in 7th, will face Chelsea in 5th.
Despite Nottingham Forest having the better clean sheet record, 13 to Chelsea’s 10, they haven’t kept one since April. In their last 10 matches, Forest have kept just 2 clean sheets.
Chelsea has had a better recent record with 5 clean sheets in their last 10. However, Forest has scored in 8 out of their last 10 matches, and we expect them to come out in full force at home.
In fact, if you really want to back the underdog, Nottingham Forest to win is currently priced at 2/1 with bet365. Pretty good value if you ask me.
A win for Forest will see them leapfrog the Blues and guarantee a spot in the Europa League. A win for Chelsea will all but guarantee their spot in the Champions League, unless Aston Villa muster up 12 or more goals this weekend.
Bet 2: Manchester United vs Aston Villa – Full Time Result: Aston Villa
United have been woeful, but you don’t need us to tell you that. They’ve lost 4 of their last 5 Premier League matches and haven’t won a game in 8.
Villa are fighting to keep their Europa League spot and are hoping to sneak into the top 5 if other results can go their way.
Manchester United have just lost the Europa League final, so they have nothing left to play for, except what little pride they have left. Aston Villa need points to give themselves the best chance of UCL qualification.
The odds of 7/10 may seem a bit low for an away fixture, but Villa is such a clear favourite that any positive result for United would be a total upset.
Funnily enough, ten years ago, the opposite was the norm. United claimed a spot in the Champions League, and Aston Villa narrowly avoided relegation.
Bet 3: Fulham vs Manchester City – Over 2.5 Cards
In the last 5 games, Fulham have averaged 2.4 cards per game. City has the fewest cards in the division, but averaged 0.8 in their last 5.
We’re backing both teams to receive at least one each, and for Fulham to do the rest of the heavy lifting. If Fulham can get ahead early, we wouldn’t be surprised to see even more cards be dished out to both sides.
Andy Madley will be officiating the match, and he’s averaged 4.2 yellow cards per game this season. That puts him in the middle of the referee pack, so we don’t expect him to be too lenient.
City needs to win to guarantee a spot in 3rd. If not, and all results go against them, they might be travelling to Kazakhstan next season in the Conference League.
Fulham will be hoping to stay in the top 10, and a win is the only way to guarantee it, but this is more for money and pride than for any European hopes.
Bet 4: Liverpool vs Crystal Palace – Mo Salah Over 1.5 Shots on Target
Premier League champions face FA Cup champions on the final day of the season.
Both teams will want to end on a high, and Palace can even jump up a few spots with a win.
We’re backing the League’s top scorer to go for it on the weekend. He’s averaging 1.6 shots on target per game, but after a few poor results in a row, Salah and Liverpool will buck up and try to end the season on a high.
Salah may not find the net twice, but we back him to at least hit a couple of shots on target in the match. His odds to score are also 33/50 on bet365, so you could back that if you fancy it.
What’s best about this market is the ‘Sub On, Play On’ offer by bet365, which means that if Salah is subbed off, his replacement will carry on the punt. This safety net makes the bet an even more interesting one.
Salah is two goals away from hitting 30, a feat only done 10 times. Salah himself managed 32 in 17/18.
This season, Salah will equal Thierry Henry’s 4 Golden Boots and is just two away from Andy Cole in the Premier League all-time charts.
