AFC Bournemouth vs. Sheffield United FC

Saturday, March 09, 2024 – 10:00 AM ET at Vitality Stadium


Bournemouth

Ask yourself one question: Why are Bournemouth more than -200 favorites to win a Premier League game at the Vitality Stadium when they haven’t achieved a single victory at home this season? Well, you likely don’t need me to answer that because Sheffield United is heading right back to Championship football next season and is the worst-performing team in the league, with an embarrassing 13 points from 27 games played.

If the Cherries can’t find three points at home versus the EPL’s worst, the only explanation is that Drake is betting on Bournemouth because they’re cursed. However, the reverse fixture at Bramall Lane resulted in a 3-1 victory for this weekend’s home side, and expecting a similar result should be the gut feeling of most.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United would need a miracle to survive relegation from the Premier League. With 12 goals conceded in their three most recent games alone, they’re nothing more than free points for their opponents during this crucial season stage.

The Blades have allowed 72 goals during domestic action, but the Cherries defense has also had a season to forget, with only one clean sheet on home turf this term. For this reason, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the visitors net at least one.

EPL Matchday 28 Prediction, Odds, & Trends

The EPL betting odds on Bournemouth are ridiculously over-priced, but given Sheffield’s downfall, it’s understandable.

This weekend’s clash presents two horrific defenses going head-to-head, but Dominic Solanke has been a savior, and key stars like him will be the difference between winning and losing a game.

Bournemouth will break the trend and take their first home win of the season, and they’ll do it in fashion by taking an early lead and maintaining this position until the final whistle. Backing Bournemouth to win at HT/FT significantly boosts their value and shouldn’t be challenging for Andoni Iraola’s squad.

Score Prediction: Bournemouth 2 – Sheffield Utd 1

Soccer Pick: Bournemouth Halftime/Fulltime (-105) at Bet365


Bayer Leverkusen vs. VfL Wolfsburg

Sunday, March 10, 2024 – 02:30 PM ET at BayArena


Bayer Leverkusen

With 15 wins from 17 home fixtures this term, Bayer Leverkusen’s quest to become Bundesliga champions becomes more real as the weeks pass. Dethroning Bayern Munich in Harry Kane’s debut season wasn’t expected, but here we are, 24 games into the season as Leverkusen remain undefeated while Bayern have endured four defeats.

Most impressively, Leverkusen has allowed just 16 goals in total. For a league renowned for its high-scoring affairs, it’s an unheard-of tally, as Xavi Alonso has built one of the most impressive Bundesliga defensive units in history.

Wolfsburg

Opposite the table toppers this weekend is Wolfsburg, a club that’s struggled for consistency this term, losing 11, drawing seven, and winning just six games. They couldn’t hold Leverkusen back during the reverse fixture in October, but they were one of the rare teams that could actually break the back line.

Bundesliga Matchday 25 Prediction, Odds, & Trends

The Bundesliga betting odds don’t give us much to run home about regarding moneyline prices unless, of course, you believe Wolfsburg can derail Leverkusen’s undefeated streak away from home.

However, backing the league leaders to win and both teams to score presents an incredible plus-money offering of +186. I know it sounds like a long shot, but Wolfsburg has failed to score at least one goal in just 8 of their previous 9 in all competitions.

Score Prediction: B Leverkusen 3 – Wolfsburg 1

Soccer Pick: Leverkusen Win & Both Teams to Score (+186) at Bet365
