After a ten day hiatus to allow for FA Cup ties, the Premiership returns with league games on Saturday. After a .500 week when UNU still confidently called a difficult Stoke City win and remarkable home upset for Swansea City, our EPL Swarm took a crack at this weekend’s difficult slate of matches.
UNU has enjoyed a strong performance in predicting EPL matches thanks to a two layer question system. The Swarm is first asked to pick a winning side and goal margin, and then asked how large a wager they’d place on that first answer. This system allows us to create multiple layers of assessment for the Swarm’s confidence and recommendations across all matches in a given week.
We can use one of the biggest Premiership matches of the season to date to illustrate how this works. The featured match on Sunday will have Man United hosting Liverpool at Old Trafford. This looks like an incredibly difficult matchup to predict, but UNU seems impressed by United’s strong play over the past month.
As always, though, UNU wants to know just how strongly the Swarm feels about that prediction, and here’s where we get some valuable insight. Rather than push even a medium bet, the Swarm here backs off considerably, recommending just $19. Don’t take that as an actual bet recommendation, either, but rather an expression of only mild confidence that United will prevail at home.
Finally, one thing we’ve asked our Swarms lately is for their match of the week pick. This is the game that UNU feels most confident in of all Premiership matches this week. There were some tough matchups this week, but eventually our swarm narrowed things down to either choosing Arsenal or Chelsea as most likely to win their respective matches. From there, they decided on the Gunners as UNUs Pick of the Week.
Here’s a list of all our picks this week, ranked by betting confidence.
