Bournemouth v Brentford: Back Thiago to strike again

Tuesday 3 March, 19:30Live on TNT


OneFootball Videos


The Opta Stat:

Igor Thiago's 18 goals have been worth 15 points to Brentford in the Premier League this season, the most of any player in the competition so far this term.

Remember that, thanks to Safe Sub, if Thiago is substituted without scoring then your bet will automatically be carried by the player who replaces him.

The Opta Stat:

Everton are winless in their last six Premier League home games (D2 L4), last going longer without a home win in October 1998 (9). The Toffees have lost their last two at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, but haven't lost three home league matches in a row since September 2023 (a run of 4).

Tuesday 3 March, 19:30Live on TNT

The Opta Stat:

Five of the last six Premier League matches between two newly promoted sides have been won by the home team (D1); this is as many home wins as the previous 26 between promoted clubs in the division beforehand (6 draws, 15 away wins).

Tuesday 3 March, 20:15Live on TNT

The Opta Stat:

Just 14% of Liverpool's away league goals this season have been scored in the first half (3/21), with only one of those coming before the 45th minute (Ryan Gravenberch, 35th min v Newcastle in August). In Premier League history, only three sides have a lower ratio of away goals in a season scored before half-time: West Brom in 2008-09 (10% - 1/10), Leicester in 1994-95 (12% - 2/17), and Southampton in 1998-99 (13% - 1/8). Wolves haven't scored before half time in any of their last nine Premier League games. Only once have they gone 10 games without a first half goal, doing so between August and November 2018.

Wednesday 4 March, 19:30Live on TNT

The Opta Stat:

Fulham have won seven of their last 10 home evening kick-offs (7pm or later) in the Premier League (D1 L2), beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 and Chelsea 2-1 in their last two. They are looking to record just their second Premier League double over West Ham United, beating them twice in 2023-24. They won 1-0 at the London Stadium earlier this season.

Wednesday 4 March, 19:30Live on TNT
