English Premier League: Saturday's Predictions January 31

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. AFC Bournemouth EPL Picks

Best Bet: Wolverhampton +0.5/Over 1.5 (+105) Lucky Rebel Sportsbook

We are backing the worst team in the EPL to at least earn a point at home, but will need at least two goals to cash this parlay. The Wanderers have won just a single match so far this season, and have netted only 15 goals in their 23 contests. But in my mind, they are trending in the right direction and have the gumption to get past an equal caliber squad.

Two of the worst back lines are going head to head in this one, and I expect both teams to find the back of the net, but that's priced at -164. We saw the Wanderers make easy work of West Ham United when they came to town, shutting them out 3-0 for their first EPL victory of the season. Against Bournemouth, who have been slipping down the table and now play without Antoine Semenyo, I don't have as much faith in them on the road. However, they get into high scoring battles. We don't necessarily need a ton of goals to cash our bet, so long as at least one comes from the Wolverhampton sideline. Either way, I see this being a 1-1 draw, as the Wolves should focus on improving their back line specifically.

They have allowed just one goal in their last three overall at home, giving me faith that they can keep their visitors at bay in order to earn a point.

Prediction: 1-1 Draw (+575)

Chelsea vs. West Ham United EPL Picks

Joao Pedro and Chelsea host West Ham United this weekend, but could their focus be on their midweek match with Arsenal? EPL Picks

Joao Pedro and Chelsea host West Ham United this weekend, but could their focus be on their midweek match with Arsenal?

Best Bet: Chelsea ML/Under 4.5 (+106) Lucky Rebel Sportsbook

We are taking a modest same game parlay as we back Chelsea in low scoring fashion, but I do think they're capable of a shutout. if you have bigger stones than I, Chelsea to win to nil is priced around +210, which would be a nice sweat to start your Saturday. However, I am a bit worried of the hosts going up two goals and relaxing too much on defense. Ultimately, the Blues -1.5 (+137) could also be worth looking at.

West Ham United is one of the worst teams in the EPL this year, and will likely be relegated. They've netted just 27 goals this season while allowing a league worst 45 in their 23 matches. The Blues have scored 39 but have only conceded 25, ranking third in the EPL in goals allowed. They have two shutout wins in their last two matches at Stamford Bridge and already beat this team 5-1 in their second match of the year. In that contest, Chelsea went down just six minutes into the match and proceeded to score five unanswered goals in their beat down. West Ham will clearly tighten up their back line coming into this matchup on the road, but I don't think they have the defensive presence to fully slowdown the Blues.

As for Chelsea, they have a life or death Carabao Cup match on Tuesday against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium. They are already down 3-2 on aggregate, so they'll need to win just to force extra time. Their full focus will be on that match ahead, as they could play plenty of reserves and still earn three points this weekend. You could take this down to 3.5 for +163 if you wanted more bang for your buck.

Prediction: Chelsea Wins 3-0 (+1000)
