Week 28 Premier League Accumulator Tips, Betting Analysis, and Forecasts
Title Tussle Tightens: Arsenal's Stumble Opens Door for Liverpool April 30, 2025 The Premier League title is shaping up to be a nail-biter, with Arsenal stumbling and Liverpool seizing the opportunity. After a goalless draw against Forest, Arsenal's gap to leaders Liverpool now stands at a daunting 13 points, making a comeback seem near impossible. Aside from the title race, the race for European places is heating up. Let's delve into some exciting matchups coming up in week 28, with our latest acca picks:
Brighton vs Fulham
Details: Saturday, May 3rd, 3.00 pm, American Express Stadium
Following a decisive 2-1 FA Cup quarter final victory against Newcastle, Brighton now shift their focus back to the league. This game against Fulham is a significant one in the hunt for those European spots. Brighton are just a point above Fulham in 8th place, with only three points separating them from fifth. This season could very well turn out to be one of the most memorable in Brighton's history under coach Fabian Hürzeler.
Fulham, too, have high ambitions and have managed to fly under the radar. A recent FA Cup victory over Man Utd on penalties at Old Trafford showcases Marco Silva's impressive work in West London. If Fulham can finish the season strongly, they could challenge for Europe.
This is a tough game to call, given both teams' form this season. I'm leaning towards Brighton's home advantage as the deciding factor.
Brighton to win @ 1/1
Brentford vs Aston Villa
Details: Saturday, May 3rd, 5.30 pm, Gtech Community Stadium
After a disappointing home defeat to Spurs, Brentford have fought back, securing 7 points from their last 3 games. The Bees are comfortably in 10th place with no immediate threat of relegation. However, challenging for European spots seems like a long shot. Despite this, coach Thomas Frank continues to show his prowess, making Brentford a formidable mid-table team.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa harbor higher ambitions. The arrivals of Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio in January have given the team a much-needed boost and a newfound momentum. Villa go into this game after a 3-1 first leg win in Bruges in the Champions League. Unai Emery is keen on stringing together a series of wins to secure a return to the Champions League next season.
Villa have struggled in games following European matches, and Brentford is a difficult place to play. The odds seem to favor a draw in this face-off.
Draw @ 13/5
Spurs vs Bournemouth
Details: Sunday, May 4th, 2.00 pm, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
It's been a week off for Spurs, their last league appearance ended in a 1-0 defeat against Man City. Injury-plagued Spurs could get some much-needed reinforcements back with Dominic Solanke, Christian Romero, and Micky van de ven nearing their returns.
Bournemouth equaled their best ever record in the FA Cup by reaching the quarter finals, defeating Wolves on penalties in the last round. Coach Andoni Iraola has been heavily linked with a move to Spurs, adding an extra layer of intrigue to this fixture.
This game promises to be a high-scoring affair, with both teams showing a penchant for goals this season.
Both Teams to Score @ 14/5
