Premier League Analysis
Wednesday’s preview at the Vitality Stadium returned both pre-match positions on Bournemouth v Leeds. BTTS Yes at 1.63 (+9.14%) won, FT Over 2.5 at 1.73 (+11.64%) won.
Fulham v Aston Villa
Both sides have been scoring more after the break than before recently.
Full-time xG lands at 1.81 for Fulham and 1.30 for Villa, a 3.11 combined total, with first-half xG combined at 1.21 and second-half at 1.90. Villa’s recent goal-timing concentrates in the 16-30 minute window with four of their last ten goals landing there, and Fulham’s scoring peaks later, between 61 and 75.
Our model prices FT Over 2.5 at a 59.49% probability against the bookmaker-implied 56.18%, lifting full-time goals to a +5.90% qualifying figure at 1.78. The second-half market is the fresher angle: model 56.65% on SH Over 1.5 versus implied 51.28%, producing a +10.47% figure at 1.95. Fulham’s home Over 2.5 rate in the last ten runs at 50% and Villa’s away rate at 33%, with combined second-half xG of 1.90 sitting well above the combined first-half xG of 1.21. Stake is taken at 0.5% on each.
The Poisson distribution leans towards 1-1 at 12.66%, with 2-1 and 1-2 both following at 8.40%, 0-0 at 6.44% and 2-2 at 6.30%. The top-eight outcomes account for around 59.8% of the total probability mass. Three of the top-eight (2-1, 1-2, 2-2) settle FT Over 2.5, and any score with two or more goals landing after the break settles both the full-time and the second-half lines together.
The first-half markets do not qualify in pre-match terms. An InPlay focus on FHG 0.5 is the logical addition: if the fixture is 0-0 at 20-25 minutes, back FHG 0.5 at 2.00 or above. Liability sizing 0.25 to 0.5%.
