Hull City vs Brentford
Saturday 1st February 2020
The Championship, KCom Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Football: Kick-off – 12:30 GMT

Hull City are about to play host to Brentford in SkyBet Championship action this weekend.

The hosts are in poor form with three losses on the bounce at the hands of Fulham, Derby and Huddersfield. Their faint hopes of reaching the play-offs is quickly slipping away for them. Meanwhile, Brentford are going along nicely in fifth position as they aim to consolidate a top six finish with an impressive campaign to date.

Hull City are priced at 12/5 to win the match by SkyBet and end their torrid run of results. The Tigers are in some of their worst form in months and are struggling to find the back of the net. They have an average of 0.67 goals per match from their last six outings. Their home form doesn’t make for much better reading either with four consecutive defeats in all competitions.

Going forward, Jarrod Bowen has been the saviour whenever Hull have needed him, but so much more recently. Bowen made a late night move to West Ham United yesterday so it’s hard to see where the goals will come from for Hull City today.

Brentford are priced at 11/10 to win the match and grab an away victory at the KCOM Stadium. The Bees have been very impressive this season playing an attractive brand of football. They also have a great away record, with the best defensive away record in the league and also have no trouble scoring on the road.

Striker Ollie Watkins has been scintillating this season in his new number nine role and has 18 goals this season. He is priced at 7/5 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be Darren Bond. The official has not been shy when it comes to reaching into his pocket this season and has an average of 37.4 booking points from his 17 second division matches in charge.

Hull City vs Brentford will be televised live on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 12:30 PM GMT.

Prediction: Hull City 0-2 Brentford

– The visitors are looking very dangerous this season and are up against a shaky defensive line.

Wolves vs Liverpool
Thursday 23rd January 2020
Premier League, Molineux

Live on BT Sport 1 – Kick-off: 20:00 GMT.

Wolves will host leaders Liverpool in Premier League action this Thursday night at Molineux.

The hosts got back to winning ways in their last outing against Southampton, pulling off an incredible second half comeback to win 3-2 away from home. They are chasing down the top four places. Meanwhile, the Reds are flying high in their charge for their first ever Premier League title. They remain unbeaten after a win against rivals Manchester United.

Wolves are underdogs for the match and are priced at 4/1 to win the match by SkyBet. The Midlands based club have gone through a topsy turvy time through Christmas and new year, dealing with a lot of frustration with results and injuries. However, they once again showcased their character in the comeback against the Saints and will be high on confidence heading into this tie. They will feel they can upset the party.

Rail Jimenez has gone from strength to strength and is one of the best number nines in the league. He is priced at 12/5 to score anytime and add to his 10 goals this term.

Liverpool are priced at 4/6 to win the match and continue their unbeaten run for the season. Jurgen Klopp’s men have been incredible this season and proved it again in their 2-0 victory over Manchester United. They are incredibly solid at the back and attack with potency that no league defence can stop.

Attacker Mohamed Salah got on the scoresheet late on against United and looks in fine form at the moment. He is priced at 7/2 to open the scoring.

The referee for this match will be Michael Oliver. The official is one the most experienced in the league’s history and has averaged 33.9 booking points this season from his 18 topflight matches.

The match will be televised on BT Sport 1 HD and kicks off at 20:00.

Prediction: – Wolves 1-3 Liverpool

– The Reds look unbeatable and although Wolves do well against top sides, I doubt they can stop Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Leicester City vs West Ham United
Wednesday 22nd January 2020
Premier League, King Power Stadium

Live on BT Sport 2 HD – Kick-off: 20:00 GMT.

Leicester City will play host to West Ham United on Wednesday night in Premier League action.

The Foxes are in a slump after what has been a great season for Brendan Rodgers but are still in the top four, which is a huge positive. Meanwhile, the Hammers are trying to break away from the relegation battle and managed a 1-1 draw with Everton on the weekend.

Leicester City are priced at 4/7 to win the match and continue their hot pursuit of a top four finish. Their title hopes – however faint they were – seemed to have gone now after back-to-back defeats at the hands of Southampton and Burnley. Their home form has been very poor to their standards without a win in their last three at the King Power. They will be determined to make that right.

Striker Jamie Vardy cut a frustrated figure against Burnley but will want to add to his impressive goal count of 17 league goals this season. He is priced at 23/10 to score first.

West Ham United are priced at 9/2 to win the match as David Moyes continues to try and turn the club’s fortunes around. The Hammers are struggling this term given their summer investment and fans are becoming restless with the poor results. They have been a picture of inconsistency and have won just one of their last four away matches.

Summer acquisition Sebastian Haller has failed to set the world alight but has been a dangerous presence at the front of the Hammers attack. He has six goals this season and is priced at 11/4 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be David Coote. The official has been rather strict this season in the topflight and has an average of 39.4 booking points from his nine Premier League matches.

The match will be televised on BT Sport 2 HD and kicks off at 19:30.

Prediction: Leicester City 2-0 West Ham United

– The hosts are a stronger team all around. Simple as that.

Suggested Tips – Leicester City vs West Ham United – (BET 365)

  • Correct Score – Leicester City win 2-0 – (link no longer available).
  • Anytime Goalscorer – Sebastian Haller – (link no longer available).
  • First Goalscorer – Jamie Vardy – (link no longer available).
