Premier League Draw Double

Saturday’s Premier League schedule looks like a mishmash of games with some home bankers with no value (Arsenal v Burnley, Chelsea v QPR) and other fixtures which are almost too close to call. With this in mind, the acca goes out the window this week and we instead focus on a lucrative draw double, available at best odds of nearly 12/1* with Bet365.

Hull 13/5 to draw with Southampton:

The bookies think this will be yet another victory for Southampton and you can see where they’re coming from. The Saints are riding high in second place having won three on the bounce and Graziano Pelle is looking unstoppable.

But we shouldn’t underestimate a Hull team who have just returned from consecutive trips to the Emirates and Anfield without defeat and who beat Palace before that. In total the Tigers have drawn five times this season and the most likely outcome here is another stalemate.

Leicester 5/2 to draw with West Brom:

In this one the oddsmakers are siding with home advantage but that is to ignore the fact that Leicester have taken one point from their last four games and Leonardo Ulloa hasn’t even managed a shot in that run. That said, the Foxes are unbeaten at home and we shouldn’t be surprised to see this one end as the fourth draw in five encounters at the King Power Stadium.

West Brom were last term’s draw specialist with 15 stalemates from 38 outings. They’re heading that way again after 4 draws in their first 9 league fixtures including a pair of 2-2s against Man Utd and Palace lately.

*Exact odds are 11.60/1 with Bet365.
