⚽ Brighton vs Chelsea
English Premier League
Saturday 14 Feb; 21:00 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: This will be a close game so there are some nice odds here, even on a double chance.

• CXSports says: Brighton can be a tough nut to crack, with fewer losses than some higher-ranked teams, so they might just hold Chelsea to a draw. Still, if Chelsea can bring their A-game, they should come out on top.

• Score prediction: 1-2 win for Chelsea

Option #1

• Bet: Double Chance (Draw / Chelsea Win)

• Odds Range: 1.33-1.33

Option #2

• Bet: Over/Under (Over 2.5)

• Odds Range: 1.41-1.46

⚽ Leicester City vs Arsenal
English Premier League
Saturday 15 Feb; 13:30 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: An easy win for Arsenal equals an easy win for us.

• CXSports says: Quick question. What hopes do Leicester have against Arsenal? The answer, of course, is none. Expect Arsenal to steamroll their way through to a victory.

• Score prediction: 0-3 win for Arsenal

Option #1

• Bet: Arsenal Win

• Odds Range: 1.23-1.27

Option #2

• Bet: Over/Under (Over 2.5)

• Odds Range: 1.46-1.51

⚽ Southampton vs Bournemouth
English Premier League
Saturday 15 Feb; 16:00 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: This will be an easy win for Bournemouth and yet, the odds are half decent.

• CXSports says: Southampton’s shown it has no hopes in the EPL. Bournemouth, on the other hand, have been a bit of a surprise package this season and are now one of the top contenders. This one’s in the bag for Bournemouth.

• Score prediction: 1-3 or 2-3 win for Bournemouth

Option #1

• Bet: Bournemouth Win

• Odds Range: 1.51-1.60

Option #2

• Bet: Both Teams to Score (Yes)

• Odds Range: 1.53-1.55

⚽ Aston Villa vs Ipswich
English Premier League
Saturday 15 Feb; 16:00 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: An Aston Villa victory here is basically a sure thing.

• CXSports says: Ipswich is way out of their depths in the Premier League. And while Villa aren’t exactly topping the table, they’re clearly a cut above. This should be an easy win for Villa.

• Score prediction: 1-0 win for Aston Villa

Option #1

• Bet: Aston Villa Win

• Odds Range: 1.38-1.39

Option #2

• Bet: Over/Under (Under 2.5)

• Odds Range: 2.08-2.15

⚽ Manchester City vs Newcastle
English Premier League
Saturday 15 Feb; 16:00 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: This will be tight, but a double chance should secure a decent payout.

• CXSports says: It’s easy to underestimate Man City after their up and down season. But right now, they’re on the up again, so we like their chances against Newcastle here.

• Score prediction: 1-0 win for Manchester City or a 1-1 draw

Option #1

• Bet: Double Chance (Man City Win / Draw)

• Odds Range: 1.18-1.19

Option #2

• Bet: Both Teams to Score (Yes)

• Odds Range: 1.40-1.43

After Man City’s performance this season, it’s easy to forget just how dominant they’ve been in the past. With four back-to-back titles between 2020-2024, and a total of 8 titles since 2010, they were once a force to be reckoned with.

Now let’s see what else you know about Man City’s title-winning past.

⚽ Question: Manchester City completed a famous last-minute comeback to win the Premier League on the final day of the 2011-2012 season against Queens Park Rangers.

• A: True

• B: False

Think you know the answer?

Read to the end to see if you were right.

⚽ Fulham vs Nottingham Forest
English Premier League
Saturday 15 Feb; 16:00 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: Decent odds on two reasonably sure outcomes.

• CXSports says: Forrest have been performing above expectations this season, and are coming into this game with a clear edge. They could, however, have a difficult time breaking Fulham who have a knack for keeping games to a draw.

• Score prediction: 0-1 win for Nottingham Forest or a 1-1 draw

Option #1

• Bet: Double Chance (Draw / Forest Win)

• Odds Range: 1.25-1.28

Option #2

• Bet: Over/Under (Over 1.5)

• Odds Range: 1.28-1.31

⚽ West Ham vs Brentford
English Premier League
Saturday 15 Feb; 16:00 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: This will be a fun game to watch with some decent odds on some alternative bets.

• CXSports says: If you look solely at points on the table, these two are hard to tell apart. Just four points separate them on the table. But if you take a closer look at their statistics, some real differences emerge. West Ham’s -17 goal average versus Brentford’s more respectable 0 is the perfect case in point. Still, West Ham could keep this to a draw.

• Score prediction: 1-2 win for Brentford or a 2-2 draw

Option #1

• Bet: Over/Under (Over 2.5)

• Odds Range: 1.48-1.55

Option #2

• Bet: Both Teams to Score (Yes)

• Odds Range: 1.43-1.49

⚽ Crystal Palace vs Everton
English Premier League
Saturday 15 Feb; 18:30 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: Crystal Palace’s “struggles” have people underestimating them. That’s left us with some really nice overvalued odds.

• CXSports says: Crystal Palace has struggled to push into the top half this season, but has remained a solid mid-table competitor. Everton, on the other hand, is in real danger of slipping into the relegation zone. That should tell you everything you need to know about this game.

• Score prediction: 2-1 for Crystal Palace

Option #1

• Bet: Crystal Palace Win

• Odds Range: 1.94-2.00

Option #2

• Bet: Over/Under (Over 1.5)

• Odds Range: 1.29-1.33

⚽ Liverpool vs Wolves
English Premier League
Sunday 16 Feb; 21:00 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: Sure things don’t come much more sure than this.

• CXSports says: Liverpool is far and away the top team in the top flight right now. What’s more, they’ve only suffered one single loss for the whole season. Meanwhile, the Wolves are down in the dumps and are facing a very real chance of falling into the relegation zone. What more needs to be said?

• Score prediction: 1-0 or 2-0 win for Liverpool

Option #1

• Bet: Liverpool Win

• Odds Range: 1.16-1.20

Option #2

• Bet: Both Teams to Score (No)

• Odds Range: 1.77-1.80

⚽ Tottenham vs Manchester United
English Premier League
Sunday 16 Feb; 17:30 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: With this game likely to end in a high-scoring blow-for-blow, this will be a fun one to watch.

• CXSports says: Last time these two met, Tottenham only just edged out Man United in a high-scoring game that ended 4-3. Not much has changed since, so expect a similar, albeit slightly lower-scoring game this time.

• Score prediction: 3-2 win for Tottenham

Option #1

• Bet: Tottenham Win

• Odds Range: 2.30-2.40

Option #2

• Bet: Both Teams to Score (Yes)

• Odds Range: 1.35-1.37
