English Premier League Predictions
If you’re putting your hard-earned money into the Premiership betting markets it’s never a bad idea to first get advice on the top tips for the fixture you’ll be betting on. Here are a few handy hints for finding the best Premier League predictions:
Avoid hunches
Punters who predict the outcome of Premier League matches are a dime a dozen on the internet. It’s no secret that most football fans consider themselves to be experts on the game, and are more than happy to dispense betting advice.
Before you take advice from tipsters online, take a look at their track record – do their tips produce winning bets? You’ll need to be wary of the fact that tipsters can update tips to produce the ‘right’ result after a match, and you should be wary of a long string of winning bets.
In fact, a quality tipster may produce long strings of losing bets. Avoid looking at results in the short-term – look back over a string of twenty to thirty predictions. A quality tipster will shown an overall winning rate – not an endless string of winning bets.
Look at stats
Many Premier League predictions and tips mull over the details of a forthcoming football match rather than the hard statistical facts. Frequently too much importance is given to whether or not one club has a grudge against another, members of a team are feuding or a star player is out of form.
While such information has its uses, you should be looking at the big picture. What is the head-to-head record between the clubs? How has the club performed on the road or at home during the course of the season, and what do the club’s scoring and defence stats look like over the last five matches.
Statistical trends tend to be stable in the long run, and looking back over head-to-head stats for the last five seasons can give you a good idea of how two clubs will perform on a home or away basis as well as ideas of how many goals you can expect the match to produce.
Analysis
A decent Premiership prediction will analyse relevant stats and produce a logical structured argument in favour of a specific bet. Ideally you should also be given access to the best prices on the recommended selection, to make betting easier and to increase your earnings on winning bets.
