The weekend’s Premier League action continues with a further two fixtures on Sunday, and we’ve selected our best bets ahead of kick-off.
West Ham welcome Newcastle to the London Stadium in Sunday’s Premier League opener.
Kick-off is scheduled for 14:00, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side looking to bring an end to their six-game winless run. They head into the weekend occupying a lowly 19th place in the table.
With pressure mounting on the Hammers, former boss Slaven Bilic is favoured to take over from Nuno should he be sacked, according to the next West Ham manager betting odds market.
Following that clash in the capital, Manchester City host high-flying Bournemouth at 16:30.
The Cherries sit in second place ahead of the weekend’s action, two points ahead of Pep Guardiola’s Cityzens, who are in fifth place on 16 points after last weekend’s defeat by Aston Villa.
Gameweek 10 draws to a close with Sunderland vs Everton at 20:00 on Monday night.
Read on as we unveil our best bets for Sunday’s Premier League fixtures.
Premier League Best Bets on Sunday
West Ham vs Newcastle Betting Tip (14:00 KO)
Our first tip for Sunday afternoon’s Premier League action is to back Newcastle for the win against West Ham, with summer signing Nick Woltemade scoring at any time in the match.
While the Magpies have been far from convincing in the majority of their matches this term, they head into this one in strong form, having won five of their last six in all competitions.
This includes comfortable 4-0 and 3-0 wins over Union Saint-Gilloise and Benfica in the Champions League, a 2-1 triumph over Fulham in the league last weekend, and a 2-0 victory over Tottenham in the Carabao Cup fourth round on Wednesday night.
They also boast a decent record against the Hammers, having lost just one of their last seven head-to-head encounters (W3, D3, L1). Their last visit to the London Stadium ended in a 1-0 win.
West Ham, meanwhile, have been nothing short of dreadful this term. Across 10 competitive matches in all competitions, the East Londoners have managed just one win (W1, D1, L8).
We simply cannot see them causing Newcastle any problems this weekend.
As for Woltemade, he is currently the bookmakers’ favourite to score in the fixture, and that’s for good reason. The German has netted in three of his last four English top-flight outings.
We’re backing him to maintain that strong form in the capital against the struggling Hammers.
Best Bet: Newcastle to Win and Nick Woltemade to Score @ 17/10
Manchester City vs Bournemouth Betting Tip (16:30 KO)
For the later fixture, we’ve selected Manchester City to be leading at both intervals against Bournemouth and have also selected the ever-impressive Erling Haaland to score at any time.
City fell to a disappointing 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa last weekend, which saw them fall down the Premier League power rankings, but they bounced back in the Carabao Cup in midweek.
Guardiola’s heavily rotated side initially trailed away at Swansea, however goals from Jeremy Doku, Omar Marmoush and Rayan Cherki sealed their advancement to the quarter-finals.
They have now lost just one of their last 11 games in all competitions (W8, D2, L1).
Andoni Iraola’s Cherries boast a similarly impressive record, having suffered defeat in just two of their opening 10 games of the campaign, however their record away to City is worrying.
Across 13 competitive away trips to City throughout history, Bournemouth have avoided defeat just once (D1, L12). This includes a 3-1 loss when they last visited the Etihad in May.
We expect history to repeat itself here and are backing the Cityzens to comfortably prevail.
Additionally, Haaland is, as per, the favourite among bookmakers to score. The Norwegian has totalled an incredible 15 goals and one assist in 12 appearances for City thus far this season.
Should his side prevail, he looks incredibly likely to find the net against the Cherries.
Best Bet: Manchester City Half Time/Full Time and Erling Haaland to Score at Any Time @ 21/10
