Football betting tips: Premier League
1.5pts Bournemouth 7+ corners at evens (General)
1pt Mario Lemina 2+ shots on target in Burnley vs Wolves at 8/1 (BetVictor)
1pt Joao Palhinha 1+ shots on target in Forest vs Fulham at 9/4 (bet365)
Nottingham Forest vs Fulham
- Kick-off time: 19:30 GMT, Tuesday
- TV: TNT Sports
- Home 29/20 | Draw 12/5 | Away 9/5
Fulham salvaged a draw away at Sheffield United on Saturday - a good point considering they nearly went 4-1 down had a goal not been disallowed.
Tuesday takes them on a trip to another struggling side in Nottingham Forest.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side have won just one of their last ten in the league and just goal difference keeps them out of the relegation zone.
I'm not a fan of getting involved in the 1X2 market here, but I will back the 9/4 available on JOAO PALHINHA 1+ SHOTS ON TARGET given recent performances.
The midfielder found the net last time out, and he's returned a total of nine shots across his last three.
Better known for his defensive efforts, Palhinha has contributed in attack too with four goals across the course of the campaign.
Forest have conceded 68 shots across their last five in the league - Fulham should see chances to strike.
Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace
- Kick-off time: 19:45 GMT, Tuesday
- Home 17/20 | Draw 11/4 | Away 3/1
Bournemouth are a shade of odds-on for victory here and it's difficult to disagree given some of their home performances and results this season.
Wolves are the only side currently sat seventh or lower who have secured victory at the Vitality Stadium - the record is five wins, four draw and that defeat.
There is some uncertainty with the result though given Palace's form since changing manager to Oliver Glasner. Tottenham are the only side to win in his four games at the helm.
Instead, I'm happy to take the even money available on 7+ BOURNEMOUTH CORNERS.
The style of play under Andoni Iraola plays massively into this, as may the game state given it could be a close contest.
The Cherries took nine corners against Everton, 11 against Luton, ten against Sheffield United and 11 vs Leicester in the FA Cup across their most recent four games at home.
Burnley vs Wolves
- Kick-off time: 19:45 GMT, Tuesday
- Home 6/4 | Draw 12/5 | Away 7/4
One I'm adding after initial publication, but it's a bet that caught my eye given the value on offer.
MARIO LEMINA 2+ SHOTS ON TARGET is a best price of 8/1, with 11/2 and 13/2 fine prices where available elsewhere.
Wolves' availability issues means that Lemina should feature in an attacking role once again here having done so in the away defeat at Aston Villa.
He had three there with one effort on target. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Pedro Neto and Hwang hee-Chan are all still unavailable so Lemina will likely continue in this area.
This is a value play based on that position change. With Burnley favourites for success, the hosts scoring the first goal would only serve to benefit this pick.
