• Hull City and Sunderland likely to record a draw between them
• Aston Villa will go head to head with West Brom
• Southampton favorites against Leicester

Right after some great action in round 27 last weekend football fans will have a chance to support their respective sides once again in matchday 28 that will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to UK gambling news. Some thrilling encounters will involve Southampton playing against Crystal Palace and Manchester City going head to head with Leicester. Hull will also be tested as they gear up to face Sunderland, while Aston Villa will receive a visit from West Brom.

Aston Villa vs West Brom and Hull City vs Sunderland

Following a string of bad performances, Aston Villa slumped to the bottom of the Premier League and they now sit in 19th position with only 22 points. The Lions haven’t won a league game since December 7th when they hosted Leicester, while up until this point they raked up 7 consecutive losses. Bet365 have them the better odds 2.63 (13/8), however considering their current form they will likely fail against West Brom at home.

The visiting team have been dealt underdog chances 3.10 (21/10) despite maintaining a better standing on the table (13th). Over the course of the last 5 away games they have notched 4 draws and 1 loss, so it makes sense to believe that a tie in the upcoming game is a big possibility. A draw stands at 3.10 (21/10), so punters should aim to take advantage of this for the match.

Hull City have recorded 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 5 encounters, however they will be aiming to achieve some better results in the next game against Sunderland. They currently find themselves in 15th spot in the league with only 26 points and they maintain an uncertain home record (4 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses). A for the match has been set at 3.30 (23/10), an event that is rather likely while a win for them stands at 2.15 (8/7).

Sunderland sit 1 place below their upcoming opponents in 16th position with 25 points and they form is quite ambiguous having notched 1 wins, while the latter four games ended in 2 draws and 2 losses. Mobile betting sites do no favor them for the win and that is why they have been given limited odds 3.90 (29/10) against Hull City.

Southampton vs Crystal Palace and Manchester City vs Leicester

Southampton were a real surprise in the Premier League this season as they managed to make a remarkable impact that no lower side has managed to achieve. However, in recent times they suffered a loss in form and unfortunately lost a few important games which lead to them being dropped to 6th position on the table. At home they have recorded 7 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, so Bet365 has high hopes 1.75 (3/4) for them against Crystal Palace.

The Eagles on the other hand have been assigned outsiders odds 5.25 (17/4) due to their uncertain results in recent times (2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses). While playing on the road they have won on 4 occasions, while the other games ended in 6 draws and 4 losses. A tie 3.75 (11/4) between the two does not seem to be on the cards, as Ronald Koeman’s men will likely win the encounter.

Manchester City are gearing up to play against Leicester at the Etihad on Wednesday evening, where they have been dealt favorite status 1.25 (1/4) by online sportsbooks in UK. The Sky Blues are 2nd place right behind leaders Chelsea, however they also have played an extra game than the London based side. At home they have been firing on all cylinders throughout the season so they should be able to win this game relatively easy.

Leicester on the other hand sit all the down in 20th position with a meager 18 points to their name. They have no serious chance at making an impact so they have been assigned outsider odds 13.00 (12/1) by Bet365. A tie 7.00 (6/1) is most that they can hope for however Manuel Pellegrini’s men will probably claim the 3 points from the match.
