Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

Everton and Southampton game should be an easy 3points for the hosts because I don't see any improvement from Southampton since last season and we all know how terrible they were while this Everton tean had some exciting summer and the opening game for them was very interesting despite being it ending with a draw but this time they are at home and it's unlikely that they will be going easy for their first game at home so I'm going with home win.

To be honest , it is still to early to decide things yet. This will only be the second week of the season and every team almost has an equal 50 % chance to win. The home team might have better chance to win due to be playing on the home ground but southampton will be tempted to win this game especially that they only got 1 point from their first game

I agree with you. Southampton barely made any progress since last season and I can see them strugling to remain in Premiership next season.
Everton was pretty good in last match as well, just they had red card so they couldn't show their real strength and despite that they managed to draw with very good Wolves.
Everton is big favourite in that one for me, and should manage to win easily against weak Saints.

Arsenal against Chelsea this week will be the game of the week. I think that Arsenal will have the upper hand here and will beat Chelsea this time. Chelsea was not convincing in the game against Huddersfield in the first week and Arsenal had to play against the Champions in the first week. In the worse case I think this game might end on draw so draw no bet for Arsenal is my favourite bet for this game.

I am trying  to wonder  what might be your reason  for saying arsenal will have upper  hand against  Chelsea, when you know Chelsea is playing  at home.  The match Is just few hours away. Chelsea is going to win  that match 3:1 or 2:1.

This depends. Has Richarlison recovered from his injury? Will he start? He was their star player by a long shot against Wolves. Without him, they would likely have lost. If he's not playing against Southampton, it might not be so clear cut.

I wouldn't back them away, but I didn't watch either Chelsea or Arsenal's first games so I can't comment on their performances.

There is no valid "away" here as both teams are from London, at maximum they will play a few km-s away from their home stadium so the feeling of away is void here. It is the atmosphere of a derby though which cannot be trusted to bet on a single team as a derby can have 3 results in, even when teams of big gap quality play together , not teams like Chelsea and Arsenal which have a similar quality.

Yes there is. That's not how it works. It doesn't matter even if they're playing next door. They're different pitches that the away team is not used to playing on and with a stronger home crowd. Playing at the other end of the country isn't another climate either so it doesn't matter how far the stadium is.

Exactly,  the fact that London is the home for both teams make it even more competitive, no one wants to be beaten  by his next door neighbors because  of the pride associated with it. It is going to be an interesting  one but I think Chelsea  will still take all three points.

Wolverhampton Wanderers will be playing their first away match against opponent Leicester City today, to be honest, I don't think Wolverhampton Wanderers will stand any chance to steal a point from Leicester City today, as the performance of Wolverhampton Wanderers was disappointing in front of their home fans against 10 man Everton in their last match, and I believe Leicester City will try to get as many points as possible from weaker opponents in order to move themselves away from the relegation zone.

I have a fun little parlay of 4 matches for Saturday afternoon. I picked the games with high odds of around 1.95 on BTTS and the total odds are @ 15.73 with Sportsbet.io boost used.
The games:

Cardiff City - Newcastle United BTTS 2.13
Everton FC - Southampton FC BTTS 1.98
Leicester City - Wolverhampton Wanderers BTTS 1.92
Tottenham Hotspur - Fulham FC BTTS 1.94

I am thinking there will be lots of goals today. Teams are still getting used to the new season so I am hoping for plenty of goal scoring opportunities. Cheers!

Yep none because this is just the second week. The first 4 week in the season is a very crucial season, there is less schedule compared to few months afterward and probably there isnt any injury yet. Therefore every team will want to try their best to win the game . That totally goes double to the top team that want to win the league

I'm going to try my luck once again this week with betting on the over 2.5 goals as there are a few games that should produce this result. Crystal Palace v Liverpool is likely along with the Manchester City v Huddersfield Town, Tottenham v Fulham and  Chelsea v Arsenal which is the one I'm a bit worried about but hopefully there will be goals scored. I'm also going to take all these in a parlay bet.

I'm going the other way actually, because I think Fulham will play defensive, and Spurs will find it hard to score more than 2 goals against them, while Arsenal-Chelsea could be either a very high scoring match for both sides, or new managers tiptoeing around each other. Not that I'm saying either are afraid of the other, but they both have plenty of time to get used to their squad and may not take the risks so early.

So a parlay on both these games for UNDER 3.5 @2.7 is my pick: https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=1W5wOLegni%2FnPeBXOATVsF5CfbykbVcK84KSy6HgDa4%3D

And why not, Arsenal eager to win and keep me in the hunt @4.45: https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=PU0JDNWdtH%2Bo%2Fsr%2Fo5vBHpV4AZDIb0qPth1Fhs25ZaU%3D

I think today match wont be much goals, so taking first half draw in most match will give good profit.

West Ham vs Bournemouth - under 2.5 goal and first half draw, both team to make goal (BTTS) - NO

Tottenham vs Fulham  -  BTTS - No. Over 2.5 goal and first half go for over 1.5 goal.

Chelsea vs Arsenal - BTTS - YES,  Under 2.5 goal.

This are pre match bets for today and some bets will be on inplay live match.

Tottenham will face newly promoted team Fulham. Pochettino never made any signings but he still have strong squad he is confident of the team to compete with big teams for EPL trophy. Fulham still lacks the  experience in the premier league the last time both teams met in FA cup and Spurs had a big win against them 3-0. Most of the Tottenham players participated in Russia world cup and they arent fully fit to win as big as last time so maybe a 2-0 win with Kane starting his goal scoring account today.

Heh yeah...  But I'm pretty much excited in watching Adama Traore play.  Too bad he's on the bench (prolly not 100% fit due to a shoulder injury).  I hope Nuno gets him on at the second half.

You are definitely wrong on that, he is not confident on this team and tried few signing in the transfer windows but he couldnt get anything. THey still have the winter transfer of course but it will be really hard for him if there is an injury on his team. Fulham was playing in premier league few times already and they are aware of tottenham's strategy

As I expected, Leicester City did managed to secure a 2-0 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers in front of their home fans, I think the manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers should start to think of something to improve the quality of his team as the performance of Wolverhampton Wanderers at this moment will simply put them in danger of being relegated back to the English League Championship division again.

Chelsea vs Arsenal - there have been 4 goals in the first half. This definitely didn't turn out to be a low scoring affair. Sorry about that!
Chelsea quickly took the lead in this match and extended it to 2-0 within 20 minutes. They would be surprised that they went into halftime at 2-2, with Arsenal fighting back.

Hazard is so fucking good! How can you have a world-class player like him sitting on the bench? Last week, the guy came in and gave Pedro an assist. Today, brilliant performance with yet another assist. Btw, Kovacic looked solid, way better than Barkley.  

Arsenal wasn't clinical in the first half, and at the end, they paid the price. What a start for Emery as the new Arsenal manager: 2 games, 2 losses...First time that Arsenal starts the EPL with two consecutive losses since 1992.

I think that Hazard is not fit enough to play a full game you don't want to rush him and start playing him right away after that WC look at KDB he is now looking to miss 3months after getting injured and the injury could be avoided if he rested some games but Guardiola started him right away. And for Kovasic he will be soon to be starter he will have to get in the team as for Arsenal I expect those two loses from them their back lone is not performing that well but I liked how their players go wide whenever they cut the ball and prepare for counter attacks there is some progress for them in this game after that really awful one against City.

Even with Hazard only play for 30 minutes, he was the key for Chelsea to win the game. The last goal was assisted by hazard. Bad games from both team to be honest, Chelsea was dominating it from the start and then conceded two goals before the half time. I was hoping that the second half would be much interesting but it really wasnt to be honest

[vella85]

That was a much better performance by Arsenal this week, they were looking good to at least get a draw but it wasn't to be. Chelsea dominated the possession and deserved the win. I now just need the Man City game and Liverpool game to go over 2.5 goals and then I get my parlay bet as Chelsea/Arsenal went over 2.5 goals and so did my other game I took Tottenham/Fulham.

Anyone else thinks Kieran Trippier might be the new David Beckham? He scored a fantastic free kick yesterday vs Fulham and also scored another one in the World Cup in Russia. Trippier reminds me of Beckham's best years when he was scoring a lot of goals from free kicks. I think the lad surely draws inspiration from David Beckham  To me David Beckham is probably one of the best free-kick takers ever.

Sunday's picks:

Burnley - Watford BTTS & over 2.5
Brighton - Manchester United United to win
