Police vs Bright Stars tips and predictions

Jury's still out in Premier League battle

There's not much between Police and Bright Stars in the Premier League. The hosts are in sixth place with 39 points, compared to their opponents who are in fifth place on 41 points.

The short price for Police makes them a no-bet. Bright Stars don't look likely get the win but they might keep the hosts honest. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick.

These sides have impressed at the back. Having created something of a fortress at home, Police have conceded at an average of just 0.6 goals per game over their last 5 matches and Bright Stars haven't let in a single goal throughout their most recent 3 matches on the road.

In previous matches in this head-to-head 8 of the last 15 have ended in parity.

The sportsbooks' prices indicate that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Police. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No that seems the better option for this particular encounter.

Police have drawn 2 of their last 3 matches on their own soil. They drew 1-1 with Villa at home in May. Bright Stars have drawn 9 of their last 20 away matches and while the prediction is for any deadlock, a scoreline of 0-0 cannot be written off here. The conclusion is there's nothing to like about the home or away win prices so the draw is certainly food for thought. Deadlock is on the cards after what looks likely to be a low-scoring affair.
