Premier League Gameweek 33 Betting Tips: 45/1 Accumulator
The Premier League returns after the midweek European action and, while the title race and relegation battle appear all but finalised, there is still plenty to play for in the final six rounds of matches.
The main focus over the closing weeks of the season will be on the battle for European places and a number of teams will hope to further their claims in Gameweek 33.
Aston Villa's clash with Newcastle United (Saturday, 17:30) is particularly important in the top-five race and we have picked a best bet for that game, as well as three other selections, to create a 45/1 Premier League accumulator.
Tip 1 – Bryan Mbeumo to score or assist @ 13/10
Brentford vs Brighton (Saturday, 15:00)
Brentford and Brighton still harbour European hopes but, for the Bees in particular, three points are absolutely essential when the two teams clash at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Thomas Frank's men have claimed just five points from their last five fixtures, albeit against tough opponents in Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Newcastle, Chelsea and Arsenal, but Brighton have also failed to impress and were unable to beat beleaguered Leicester at home last week.
Brentford look likelier winners but a better option could be to back Bryan Mbeumo to either score a goal or register an assist. The Cameroonian has had 21 goal involvements this season - 16 goals and five assists - and has been an ever-present threat for the Bees.
Tip 2 – Newcastle to win @ 19/10
Aston Villa vs Newcastle (Saturday, 17:30)
Despite a stirring midweek comeback, Aston Villa fell short on aggregate in their Champions League quarter-final clash with Paris Saint-Germain, which could leave them feeling deflated for this Premier League meeting with red-hot Newcastle.
Villa will be desperate to return to the Champions League next season but they currently sit seventh, one point adrift of fifth-placed Manchester City and five behind the Magpies, who demolished Crystal Palace 5-0 on Wednesday evening to move into third place.
Since winning the EFL Cup, Newcastle have claimed four consecutive Premier League wins and have responded well to Eddie Howe's absence due to illness. They beat Villa 3-0 earlier in the season and can double up in this fixture.
Tip 3 – Fulham to win @ 37/20
Fulham vs Chelsea (Sunday, 14:00)
Fulham have long played second fiddle to west London rivals Chelsea but Marco Silva's men have claimed a number of big scalps this season and look overpriced for Sunday's Craven Cottage clash.
Chelsea were in Conference League action on Thursday night and, while Enzo Maresca will be able to field a much-changed team three days later, the Blues have not had long to prepare for this fixture.
Fulham, on the other hand, will be fully focused on their remaining Premier League matches and have beaten Newcastle, Nottingham Forest, Wolves, Tottenham and Liverpool since the beginning of February.
The Blues' Premier League away form has been dismal - they have claimed just three points from their last eight matches on their travels.
Tip 4 – Over 2.5 Arsenal goals @ 31/20
Ipswich vs Arsenal (Sunday, 14:00)
Arsenal avoided a Real Madrid 'remontada' on Wednesday, winning 2-1 at the Bernabeu to seal a 5-1 Champions League aggregate victory, and spirits will be high in the Gunners' camp ahead of this trip to struggling Ipswich.
Depending on results elsewhere this weekend, a loss could relegate the Tractor Boys, who are on a six-match losing run at Portman Road.
Kieran McKenna's men have sustained some heavy defeats in that stretch, going down 6-0 to Manchester City, 4-1 against Spurs and 4-2 against Forest, and they could find it tough to stop Arsenal's attackers, who are growing in confidence again.
