Quality on offer in Premier League

There's 21 points separating these two Premier League sides as third place ZED get set to host 17th place Arab Contractors.

Take a second look if you think this match's outcome is obvious. The impulse is to back a home win but this won't be for the feint-hearted. They will fancy their chances though.

For ZED to come through this challenge they'll need to build on the positives of their recent displays. The hosts have impressed in their last 3 games, winning all of them while the travelling side has been flattering to deceive at times. They've lost 9 of their last 13 matches, away and at home. They've been facing different opposition but that doesn't appear to be the record of a confident team.

Evidently ready for the task ahead, the home side has been impressive in defence - they have conceded no more than once in 17 of their last 19 games. That's on top of reports that the away side looks suspect in defence. Arab Contractors have conceded at least once in all of their last 14 assignments. To add to their concerns, some of the attacking displays by the visitors have been lacking quality; they have averaged just 0.5 goals in their last 13 matches.

The clash does have an anything could happen feel about it though. So don't rule out the stalemate. The match could develop into a battle of attrition with the two sides ultimately proving fairly even. There are better bets available but the No BTTS bet seems sensible. And if you're interested in the goal line, it's Under 1.5 standing out in this one given these prices.
