Our Top Betting Picks for EPL Matchday 27
Liverpool FC & Handicap -1 Reasoning
Soccer Pick: Liverpool -1 (+111) at Everygame (visit our Everygame Review)
Liverpool is riding high from their 7-0 demolishing of Manchester United last month. Bournemouth is at rock bottom of the Premier League and boasts the worst defensive record in the divisions, with 51 goals conceded. Backing Liverpool to win by at least two goals gifts us an excellent plus-money price of +111, and it’s a wagering position we shouldn’t ignore.
- Confidence Rating: 3/5
Manchester City FC & Both to Score Reasoning
Soccer Pick: Manchester City Win & Both To Score (+240) at Everygame
Manchester City has allowed six goals from their previous eight games and had conceded in seven consecutive away games before their last FA Cup outing. Palace has struggled for goals, but they often get up when faced with elite opposition and recently scored against Manchester United. The visitors will win, but the Palace can emulate the reverse fixture and find the back of the net.
- Confidence Rating: 2.5/5

Peak Confidence Levels Activated
Jurgen Klopp has crashed the boat against some high tides this season, but after a 7-0 dismantling of Manchester United last weekend, the Reds finally look like a top-five-worthy team.
Liverpool has crawled from the middle of the pack into fifth position. Although it would take a catastrophic fall from grace by Arsenal and Manchester City for Liverpool to lift the trophy, they’re still live to contend for the third position, which is currently owned by last week’s victims Man Utd.
On the other hand, Bournemouth fought tooth and nail with the league leaders, but the Gunners drew the final blow as a 2-0 lead for the Cherries was nulled with three goals by Arsenal in the second half.
Basement dwellers Bournemouth are left at rock bottom of the table, and they’ll be faced with a Liverpool squad that’s lost just one of their previous seven domestic outings and five consecutive clean sheets.
Liverpool -1 Handicap: The Betting Pick Formula
The Premier League odds have placed Liverpool in the favorable betting position behind a moneyline price that isn’t worth our bankroll.
However, the last time these sides met, Liverpool was responsible for dismissing former Cherries boss Scott Parker with a 9-0 thrashing on Merseyside. Bournemouth will undoubtedly be out for revenge, and while new manager Gary O’Neil hasn’t witnessed a 9-goal deficit, the overall performances by his team haven’t been worthy of a Premier League position.
Since the World Cup break, Bournemouth has lost seven domestic fixtures, five of which were by two goals or more. With a 4-1 loss to Man City last month, expecting an in-form and confident Reds squad to win this game by at least two goals can give us a plus-money return at the sportsbook.
Score Prediction: Bournemouth 0 – Liverpool 2
Soccer Pick: Liverpool -1 (+111) at Everygame
Crystal Palace FC vs. Manchester City FC Information
- When: Saturday, March 11, 12:30 PM EST
- Where: Selhurst Park
- Win/Loss Record (Last 5): Crystal Palace L/D/D/D/L – Man City W/W/W/D/D
Crystal Palace vs. Man City Analysis, Odds & Prediction
- Man City is undefeated versus Crystal Place in their previous 8 away games.
- Man City has kept three consecutive clean sheets at Selhurst Park.
- Palace has won just 1 of their last 14 games in all competitions.
A Trip to London Should Prove Simple for Guardiola
Manchester City and their weekend opponents Crystal Palace have presented polar opposite tenures during the 2022/23 EPL season. With 66 goals scored and just 25 conceded through 27 games, Pep Guardiola and company have been in a continuous title race with Arsenal all season long, while Palace has struggled for consistency and lost 10 games thus far.
More worryingly for the home side, Palace has scored just 21 goals, and in contrast, this a tally that four goals separated from City’s conceded record. They’ve been stale in front of goal, and despite owning the talents of Wilfried Zaha, Patrick Vieira has been unable to string together a positive form as his squad has remained winless since December 12, 2022.
The Citizens have no room for error; Arsenal lead the league by five points, and anything but a win versus mid-tier teams could be detrimental to their Premier League title defense. That said, Man City enter Selhurst Park as the betting favorites for a reason, but that isn’t to say Palace can’t up their goal tally by one, as their visitors have conceded six times in their previous eight away trips.
Man City & Both to Score: The Betting Pick Formula
The Premier League moneyline odds, unsurprisingly, favor Manchester City. However, as previously mentioned, teams have successfully breached Guardiola’s back four, and a consolation goal for the home team can significantly boost our odds.
Score Prediction: Crystal Palace 1 – Manchester City 3
Soccer Pick: Manchester City Win & Both to Score (+240) at Everygame
