Bettors who took advantage of those Manchester City futures odds early in the English Premier League season are feeling really good right now.
Man City have shaken off a sluggish start to the campaign in emphatic fashion, and have now opened up a 10-point advantage atop the table as we prepare for Matchday 25. The 2018-19 champions have reeled off 12 consecutive victories in league play, with nine of those coming by multiple goals. And if you missed the Man City futures odds dip, you're supremely out of luck, with the table leaders now installed as a whopping -6600 favorite to capture the title.
Premier League predictions for Matchday 25
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leeds
Two teams treading water in the Premier League standings face off Friday as Wolverhampton host Leeds. This matchup might not feature much intrigue from a straight betting standpoint, but it represents a long-awaited shot at redemption for the visitors, who have lost four consecutive meetings in the head-to-head series while being outscored by a 9-1 margin over that span.
We would feel a lot better about Leeds' chances at redemption if they weren't missing a half-dozen key players, including Diego Llorente. The Wolves are brimming with confidence following a comeback win over Southampton last time out, and have the recipe for frustrating a Leeds side that has shown tremendous offensive potential at times. We like the home side to prevail here.
TIP: Wolverhampton (+150)
Southampton vs Chelsea
You won't find two teams headed in more opposite directions than in Saturday's matchup between reeling Southampton and streaking Chelsea. Southampton got off to a great start this season but have dropped six in a row to slip into the lower half of the standings – and they're big-time underdogs against fourth-place Chelsea, who have won four straight league matches.
Southampton battled Chelsea to a 3-3 draw in their previous encounter, but their offense has fallen on hard times with just four total goals during their lengthy losing skid. Chelsea, meanwhile, have allowed just two goals in their last seven games across all competitions – and are well-positioned to come away with a multi-goal victory at St Mary's Stadium this weekend.
TIP: Chelsea -1 (+187)
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
Man United are one of a handful of teams playing for second place in the table right now – and they're in prime position to strengthen their hold on the runner-up spot Sunday against visiting Newcastle. Man United have gone six consecutive matches without a defeat in all competitions, while tumbling Newcastle have just two victories since mid-December.
This is a great spot to lock in a player goal prop – and there's a clear No. 1 choice for this game. Bruno Fernandes leads the club in goal scoring by a wide margin, and struck for Man United in a 4-1 victory over Southampton the last time these teams met back on Oct. 17. The payout won't wow you by any measure, but this is one of the safest goal props of Matchday 25.
TIP: Bruno Fernandes anytime goal (-105)
Brighton vs Crystal Palace
Brighton and Crystal Palace will both look to put a little breathing room between themselves and the Premier League relegation zone as they wrap up Matchday 25 on Monday night at American Express Community Stadium. Fourteenth-place Crystal Palace come in having dropped two in a row and are massive +450 underdogs against 16th-place Brighton, who have points in six straight.
Brighton are on an incredible run of low-scoring games, having converted seven consecutive Unders while seeing just eight total goals scored in those matches. And while Palace have been on an impressive Over streak in recent weeks, these teams have gone below the 2.5-goal threshold in three straight meetings. We like that trend to continue Monday night.
TIP: Under 2.5 (-150)
