Brentford’s home games have been goal-heavy this season, averaging 4.60 goals per match. They have scored in 9 of their 10 home fixtures but conceded in all 10. Over 2.5 goals have landed in 8 of these games, showcasing their attacking prowess but defensive vulnerabilities.
Manchester City, on the other hand, have scored in 9 of their 10 away matches this season but have conceded in 8 of them. Both teams to score (BTTS) has landed in 7 of their 10 away fixtures. City have scored in 18 of their 20 Premier League games but have struggled for form on the road, winning just once in their last 6 away games.

Leicester City vs Crystal Palace
Two struggling sides meet at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday, as Leicester City host Crystal Palace in a crucial Premier League clash. Both teams progressed in the FA Cup over the weekend, but their focus now shifts to securing points to move away from the relegation zone.
Leicester’s season has unraveled under Ruud van Nistelrooy, with five straight Premier League defeats leaving them second-bottom. Defensive frailties have plagued the Foxes, who have conceded at least two goals in each of those losses and hold the joint-worst clean sheet record in Premier League history, with just two in their last 43 matches.
Despite a morale-boosting 6-2 FA Cup win over QPR, Leicester face a much sterner challenge against Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace. The Eagles have lost just two of their last 12 league games, whilst they sit 7th for non penalty xG ratio over the last eight games, in contrast Leicester sit 19th with the highest xGA in that league over that period. Palace’s defensive solidity and attacking balance make them strong favorites to deepen Leicester’s woes.

Everton vs Aston Villa
Everton host Aston Villa at Goodison Park on Wednesday in a pivotal Premier League encounter, marking David Moyes’s return as Everton manager after Sean Dyche’s departure.
Everton sit 16th in the league with just three wins this season and only one in their last 11 games. Goals have been a concern for the Toffees, having scored just nine times at home this season.
Aston Villa, meanwhile, are enduring a poor run on the road, losing their last five away games and conceding 14 goals in that span. Under Unai Emery, defensive frailties remain a concern, with Villa managing only four clean sheets in their last 28 Premier League away matches.
Moyes faces key absences, with Youssef Chermiti, Armando Broja, Dwight McNeil, and Seamus Coleman unavailable. Villa will be without Leon Bailey, Diego Carlos, Boubacar Kamara, and Tyrone Mings, though Jhon Duran returns.
Given Villa’s defensive issues and Everton’s fresh start under Moyes, both teams are likely to find the net.
- Best Bet: Both teams to score at 1.85 with 888
