Odds as of November 30 at DraftKings

West Ham Utd vs Brighton & Hove Albion Prediction

West Ham certainly does not have a good record against Brighton in recent times.

But the east London team needs to get its impressive season back on track after two straight defeats heading into Premier League Matchday 14.

Furthermore, it is seeking to retain its place in the EPL’s top four.

And the raucous atmosphere of the London Stadium could accordingly inspire the Hammers to return to better form with kick-off at 2:30 pm ET on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, ninth-placed Brighton’s good start has dipped after a run of eight games without a win – six of them draws.

Therefore, the oddsmakers at DraftKings back the Hammers for a home win with a price of +100.

These teams have drawn in their last five meetings.

Moreover, Brighton is rated at +280 with the draw attractive at +255.

This is true, in particular, given the fact that these teams have drawn in their last five meetings – with a 1-1 result the last time they collided last May.

A 1-0 defeat at Wolves on November 20 followed by a narrow 2-1 setback at Manchester City last weekend means West Ham has suffered back-to-back EPL reverses for the first time since April.

The Hammers have met Brighton eight times in the EPL but has never won – with five draws and three defeats.

Brighton drew 0-0 at home with Leeds last weekend following a 2-0 defeat at Aston Villa.

And, to sum up, another draw between these sides looks on the cards on Wednesday.

Pick: Draw +255

Everton vs Liverpool Prediction

Rafael Benitez’s Everton team certainly needs to stop the rot in the 239th Merseyside derby on Wednesday in Premier League Matchday 14.

After seven EPL games without a win, the Goodison Park fans simply will not tolerate a home defeat against its biggest rivals.

However, Jurgen Klopp’s third-placed Liverpool outfit is a huge favorite after losing just once in the EPL since last February.

The form book can, nevertheless, often go out of the window in the fixture.

But DraftKings still makes Liverpool a huge favorite for an away win at -260 with kick-off at 2:30 pm ET.

Everton, meanwhile, is in 14th place and is a wide outsider at +650.

However, it is the big price of +425 for a draw which is tempting here because Everton must be stubborn against Benitez’s former club.

Everton has lost five of its last seven games with two defeats.

Furthermore, Everton was a 2-0 winner last time these sides met at Liverpool’s Anfield HQ last February – with two draws beforehand.

Contrarily, Everton has lost five of its last seven games with two defeats – the latest coming by 1-0 at Brentford last weekend.

So Benitez needs to ease the pressure.

Liverpool, meanwhile, has hit back with 4-0 hammerings of Arsenal and Southampton since it lost its unbeaten EPL record at West Ham on November 7.

So, in conclusion, there is little value in going for a Liverpool win here at these odds. The draw, therefore, looks the best option – and Everton certainly needs it.

Pick: Draw +425

Southampton vs Leicester City Prediction

Leicester has rediscovered some form and is unbeaten on its last three road trips.

It has, additionally, won three times and drawn once on its most recent visits to Southampton.

So it has plenty of confidence ahead of its visit to 15th-placed Southampton’s home at St Mary’s on Premier League Matchday 14.

Southampton, meanwhile, has won only twice at home all season – with three draws and one defeat.

Leicester has not fulfilled all expectations so far in this campaign after its fifth-place finish last season.

Therefore, DraftKings makes Southampton a surprise favorite for a home win on England’s South Coast at 2:30 pm ET on Wednesday.

The oddsmakers rate Southampton at +140 with Leicester priced at an attractive +190 – the best value offer here.

Southampton has lost both of its games since the international break.

The draw, meanwhile, is at +250.

The form book is with Leicester because Southampton has lost both of its games since the international break.

It went down 2-1 at struggling Norwich. Then, subsequently, it lost 4-0 at Liverpool last weekend.

Leicester, meanwhile, was a 4-2 winner at home against Watford as it recovered from its 3-0 defeat at high-flying Chelsea.

Jamie Vardy, Leicester’s veteran striker, scored twice against Watford to prove he is as dangerous as ever.

Therefore, in conclusion, Leicester looks in the mood to continue its revival with a win against struggling opponents.

Pick: Leicester City +190
