Predictions for the Premier League Matchday 36, May 10-11
Fulham vs Everton
At Craven Cottage, teams lacking tournament motivation will face off. However, Everton approaches the game against the Cottagers in better form, having lost only to the giants Liverpool, Man City, and Chelsea in their last 12 matches. Adding to this, Fulham has failed to beat the Toffees in 6 of their last 7 home encounters in the Premier League, giving David Moyes' side a good chance to pick up points.
Match Prediction for Fulham vs Everton: the visitors will not lose
Wolverhampton vs Brighton
Another match where the participants have no goals for the end of the season. However, this doesn't stop Wolverhampton from consistently picking up points. Their winning streak reached six matches and was only halted in the last round away at Man City (0:1). Brighton, on the other hand, cannot boast stability, which makes their status as favorites somewhat surprising. We favor the Wolves, who have not lost to the Seagulls in 3 of their last 4 head-to-head encounters.
Match Prediction for Wolverhampton vs Brighton: the hosts will not lose
Southampton vs Manchester City
A crisis-hit Man City, showing their worst under Guardiola, might finish the season in second place in the Premier League. Quite the paradox. They are just three points behind Arsenal, and their opponents are Southampton, who have long accepted their relegation to the Championship. If the Citizens' winning streak is to be broken, it certainly won't be at St. Mary's. In 2025, the Saints have only picked up points in one home match, so their home crowd is unlikely to help them against a motivated City.
Match Prediction for Southampton vs Manchester City: victory for the visitors with a handicap (-1.5)
Ipswich Town vs Brentford
Will Ipswich delight their home fans before their relegation to the Championship? The penultimate attempt will take place on May 10th against Brentford. The Bees are in excellent form, having not lost for over a month and scoring ten goals in their last three matches. The Tractor Boys have played seven consecutive high-scoring games, suggesting a bet on total over 2.5 goals.
Match Prediction for Ipswich Town vs Brentford: total over 2.5 goals
Bournemouth vs Aston Villa
One of the most intriguing matches of the round. To stay in the race for European competition spots, Bournemouth must defeat Aston Villa at all costs. Meanwhile, the Villans have even bigger ambitions – to qualify for the Champions League. A draw will satisfy no one, but it can't be ruled out, as the teams ended in a stalemate (1:1) in the first round. We believe the optimal bet is both teams to score, which has occurred in the last three head-to-head meetings between the sides.
Match Prediction Bournemouth vs Aston Villa: Both Teams to Score (Yes)
Newcastle vs Chelsea
Another thrilling matchup! Newcastle and Chelsea are tied for the top 5, both having 63 points and a goal difference of +21. It's important to note that since 2022, the "Magpies" have consistently defeated the "Blues" at home, and the Londoners have won only one of their last nine away matches in the Premier League. We believe Eddie Howe's team is rightly the favorite and expect them to score at least two goals. Newcastle has surpassed this mark in their last five home league games.
Match Prediction Newcastle vs Chelsea: Home Team's Individual Total Over 1.5 Goals
Manchester United vs West Ham
Manchester United will host West Ham riding the wave of success from reaching the Europa League final. Is it finally time to win a Premier League match, something that hasn't happened since mid-March? The opponent seems suitable, as the "Red Devils" have defeated the "Hammers" in four consecutive meetings at Old Trafford. Moreover, Graham Potter's squad hasn't tasted victory for two months.
Match Prediction Manchester United vs West Ham: Home Win
Nottingham Forest vs Leicester
Are the "Foresters" still in contention for a Champions League spot? Nuno Espírito Santo's team has hit a slump at the end of the season and has already fallen out of the top 5. But Leicester has been relegated from the Premier League, so the balance of power here is quite clear. Leicester's win over an even more dismal Southampton in the last round hardly gives them serious hope for success away at Nottingham. In the first-round match, the "Foresters" easily overcame their opponent (3:1), and we believe they will achieve another convincing victory.
Match Prediction Nottingham Forest vs Leicester: Home Win with Handicap (-1)
Tottenham vs Crystal Palace
What does the upcoming match mean for the teams? From a tournament perspective, absolutely nothing. But it can be seen as preparation for the finals. Crystal Palace will soon compete for the FA Cup, while Tottenham will vie for the Europa League. We won't complicate the bet and will simply go for both teams to score, which has been recorded in 12 of the last 14 home matches for the "Spurs" in the Premier League. The opponents seem evenly matched.
Match Prediction Tottenham vs Crystal Palace: Both Teams to Score (Yes)
Liverpool vs Arsenal
Perhaps in a parallel universe, this is a championship match, but in ours, everything has long been decided. Liverpool with the trophy, and Arsenal will try to maintain their usual second place. The "Reds"They stumbled immediately after clinching the championship, so it's time to get back on track, especially at their home ground, "Anfield." The "Gunners" are depleted after a painful exit from the Champions League, which will likely play into the hands of Arne Slot's team. Liverpool has scored at least two goals in 14 of their last 15 Premier League home matches, which is what we are counting on this time as well.
