Across the last 10 seasons in the Premier League it drops from 1.3 goals per first half across all games to around 1.1 per first half after an international break.There is logic behind these numbers, too, which is important when assessing a pattern of data as players have been travelling around the world so could be a little fatigued in the first game back. For example, after the first international break in September, 25 of the last 50 Premier League games have been 0-0 at half-time.

Liverpool have scored just three first-half goals in their last 15 away days. The way I'm going to play this low-scoring first-half angle is through the Bet Builder, and that's to combine under 0.5 Liverpool first half goals - so Liverpool not to score in first the half - with under 1.5 total first half goals.

A cracking bet.And I'll also have to cover the 0-0 at half-time which is too big at 3/1.SCORE PREDICTION: 2-0Chelsea vs Port Vale, Saturday 5.30pm Port Vale are 28/1 to win this match in 90 minutes. Such is the weakness of Saints on that side of the game, Mosquera is worth backing to have two or more shots at 2/1 with Sky Bet.SCORE PREDICTION: 1-3West Ham vs Leeds, Sunday 4.30pm There's a really interesting dynamic to this game, as a chance to make an FA Cup semi-final doesn't come around often for these clubs, but neither manager will be too disheartened if they get knocked out based on their situation in the Premier League.I'm going to back West Ham here, though, on the draw no bet at 10/11 with Sky Bet as this Leeds team away from home aren't a team to trust.
