English Premier League 2024/25 Matchweek 32 – Betting tips & Predictions

For just the second time this season, Liverpool lost a Premier League game last weekend, but a draw for Arsenal against Everton meant they were only able to bridge the hefty gap at the top of the standings by one point. A little further down, however, things got much tighter; both Chelsea (4th) and Man City (6th) draw, and with four teams just below them winning, the competition for spots in next year’s European leagues is as hot as it’s been all season. Most of those top teams will head into their games this weekend as favourites, meaning if anyone stumbles it could have dire consequences. Below, we preview all ten games fixtured for Matchweek 32, and provide our EPL tips and predictions for each of them.

With Chelsea drawing to Brentford, Manchester City had a great opportunity to jump into 4th spot against their cross-town rival at the weekend. Unfortunately, they played out a nil-all stalemate against Manchester United, and slipped out of the top five in the process. But with just one point separating them from 4th, it won’t take much for them to jump back into a Champions League spot.

Crystal Palace, meanwhile, doesn’t have quite so much to play for but is winning virtually every week at the minute regardless. An impressive 2-1 win in a heated battle against the in-form Brighton took their record to 4-1-0 in their past five games, with the only draw surprisingly coming against the bottom-placed Southampton. They are playing really well at the moment, and though Manchester City will back themselves to get the job done, with international betting sites like Bet365 offering up to $4.50 for it, the draw looks like a good value bet.

Brighton had been absolutely humming of late, but last week it all came crumbling down. A 3-0 loss to Aston Villa during the week was followed by a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace, putting their very legitimate campaign for a top four spot in jeopardy. But with just two games separating them from Chelsea, it’s not over just yet, and they get a great chance to redeem themselves this week against Leicester City.

Somewhat unbelievably, Leicester City’s run of scoreless games continued against Newcastle last Matchweek. That result in and of itself was not unbelievable as such, but what is harder to grasp is that they have now played eight games harking back to January since scoring a goal in the Premier League, and our EPL predictions have made the most of that horrid run of form. At least they managed one in a 2-1 FA Cup loss Manchester United, but it’s been a grim couple of months for the second-bottom team and it’s likely to continue this weekend. Expect Brighton to bounce back with a strong win against hapless opposition.

After securing a rare point during the week, Southampton returned to their losing ways on the weekend, with a 3-1 loss to Tottenham taking their record to a pitiful 2-4-25. With relegation a certainty, there isn’t much to play for aside from pride, and they will more than likely be in for another drubbing against an in-form Aston Villa this weekend.

Villa have now won three on the trot and had a fantastic last week, beating Brighton 3-0 and then Nottingham Forest 2-1 to put themselves right on the hammer of Chelsea, Newcastle and Manchester City. They’d need other result to fall their way, but they could theoretically move inside the top four this weekend with a win, which they should have no problems securing against the worst team in the league.

This is a more intriguing game than it might look on face value, with 3rd place Nottingham Forest taking on 15th placed Everton at home. Nottingham Forest is coming off a disappointing loss to Aston Villa, but they remain four points clear in 3rd and the ball is in their court when it comes to Champions League qualification.

Everton, meanwhile, have been picking up draws for fun of late, having now split the points in five of their last six games. But while that means they haven’t won since mid-February, their only loss since a month before that has been a 1-0 defeat to Liverpool, so clearly they’re proving hard to beat. Expect them to hang around and make a nuisance of themselves in this one too, but Nottingham Forest need to and should be fully expecting to get the points.

Arsenal missed a rare opportunity to close the gap by 3 points on Liverpool last weekend, failing to get past Everton in a game that ended up a 1-1 draw. Whether they’d won or lost, however, their chances of a title are almost certainly gone regardless, but they’ll be keen to do their part and keep winning on the off-chance that Liverpool’s loss at the weekend was the beginning of a drop-off in form.

Brentford, meanwhile, are just plugging away in no-man’s land in the middle of the table, picking up a 0-0 draw against Chelsea on the weekend to follow up a 2-1 loss to Newcastle earlier in the week. It’s been a tough little stretch of the fixture for them, and that continues with a trip to London this weekend. They should be good enough to avoid getting blown out, but expect the home side to be too strong in this one.

Embroiled in the enthralling battle for Champion’s League spots, every game in the run home is going to be pivotal for Chelsea, and they will be more than happy to be staying at home to face off against one of the worst teams in the league this weekend. After failing to score in a nil-all draw against Brentford, expect them to be booting multiple goals against Ipswich Town.

The 18th placed team actually put themselves in a rare position to win – and give themselves an outside chance of avoiding relegation – when they went up 1-0 early against the Wolves last weekend and then held tough for most of the game, but a heartbreaking pair of goals conceded in the 72nd and then 84th minute meant the gap between them and safety went from 6 points to 12 points in the space of just over ten minutes. It’s hard to imagine them closing it any further this weekend in what should be an easy win for the home team.

Wolverhampton have had a solid few weeks and have done well to not just limit the damage without Cunha, but actually pick up a couple of wins. But last weekend they looked set to suffer a disappointing and potentially damaging loss against the team trying to chase them down and send them back to the Championship. Fortunately, they were able to fight back from a 1-0 deficit to win 2-1, giving them a third win in a row, and they are not without a chance of making it four successive wins this weekend.

Tottenham’s disappointing year has been somewhat salvaged late in the season, but Ange Postecoglou is still under plenty of heat and doesn’t appear likely to last beyond its end. They bounced back from a disappointing string of games with a 3-1 win, but against Southampton that’s just a pass mark. Though they’re down in 17th, the Wolves will not rollover easily, particularly on their home turf. This game could easily go either way, but with two average teams in semi-decent form we might be headed for a draw.

	1-1 correct score	$6.75

It had been a long time since a Premier League loss for Liverpool, but on the weekend they suffered their first since September and just their second of the season in a surprise result against Fulham. That was a fascinating game, with Fulham scoring three goals in 15 minutes in the first half to jump out to a 3-1 lead at half-time, and while Luis Diaz got his team within a goal at the 72-minute mark, they were unable to find an equaliser. With Arsenal drawing, however, the damage to their lead atop the standings was minimal, and unless they lose a couple more in quick succession they will still be winning this year’s title.

West Ham, meanwhile, actually scored and conceded a few goals for once, playing out a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth on Saturday. That ended a run of six games with two goals or less scored, and there may well be a few goals scored in this one too. Unfortunately for the visitors, most of them will likely be to Liverpool. Expect the home team to bounce back with a solid win at Anfield against a West Ham team that will come into this game with defensive intentions.

Newcastle climbed to 5th with a strong win over Leicester City on Monday night, and just as important as the three points they gained from that victory was the three-goal margin. They’re now tied on points with 4th place Chelsea but remain below them on goal difference, but they closed that gap with the 3-0 win to an attainable four goals. With Chelsea playing Ipswich Town they probably won’t close it further this weekend, but they can at least keep it within reach as we enter the final stretch of the season.

For Manchester United, that final stretch can’t finish quickly enough. Their season has not been a good one, and though they have been a little better over the last couple of months, they are still set to likely endure easily their worst finish since 1990 and potentially their worst in over 50 years. A trip to Newcastle is not likely to aid their attempts to avoid that. The Magpies are a quality team with plenty to play for, and on their home turf should be too strong.

Bookmaker	Tip	Odds
	Newcastle to win	$1.70

The final game of Matchweek 32 is an intriguing one between two teams fighting to stay in the hunt for the top five, though Bournemouth’s hopes have rapidly slipped away over recent weeks after a dreadful run of form. They haven’t won a Premier League game since mid-February, losing four and drawing two matches in that time. Making matters worse, it’s been a pretty easy stretch of games and one they would have been eyeing off as an opportunity to make a legitimate challenge for the top four; they’ve lost to both Ipswich Town and Wolverhampton, and drawn with West Ham and Tottenham in that time.

Fulham, meanwhile, closed to within five points of Chelsea in 4th with a huge upset win over Liverpool in their latest outing. A brilliant 15-minute period in the first half saw them boot three goals to open up a 3-1 lead, and while they conceded another to Liverpool in the second half they were able to hold on to secure an impressive win. A few weeks ago this would have looked a likely win to Bournemouth, but they have been struggling against inferior teams to Fulham of late, and off the back of a confidence-boosting win the visitors can secure another upset complete the weekend’s matches. This looks like one of the better EPL tips for the weekend, with most bookies, including Victorian bookmakers like WinnersBet, offering over $3 for Fulham to win.
