It's been a wild week in the world of football, and as always, the Premier League is showing its teeth. While other European giants stumbled, English clubs looked solid in continental clashes. Whether it's the Champions League, Europa League, or the Conference League, there's a clear pattern: Premier League sides are the ones to trust when it comes to betting. The top-flight English teams are not just putting on a show, they’re cashing tickets.
Across Europe, chaos reigned. Red cards flew like confetti (looking at you, Dortmund), and matches were delayed due to fan mayhem. But amid the madness, the clubs from the Premier League kept their composure. So, if you’re looking for value in your midweek wagers, stick with the English sides for now. Their form and depth seem to be outclassing their continental counterparts.
Premier League Matchday 22 has thrown up some tricky fixtures, and if you’re feeling bold, now’s the time to ride the draw train. West Ham vs Sunderland, Everton vs Leeds, and even Newcastle vs Aston Villa all look ripe for a point apiece. The odds? Tempting. The vibes? Immaculate.
Everton, for example, are the true Jekyll and Hyde of the league. Solid away form, four wins in their last seven on the road with five clean sheets, but a mess at home. Leeds, on the other hand, have lost just one of their last nine and are proving to be slippery customers. With both teams struggling to light up the scoreboard, a low-scoring draw (even a cheeky 1-1 at 11/2) looks like a juicy play.
West Ham vs Sunderland is another match that screams stalemate. Sunderland have one loss in eight, and West Ham are struggling to get over the line. A draw at 9/4? Worth a nibble. In fact, some brave punters are even throwing together a three-draw accumulator with Newcastle tossed in for good measure. That’s a 40/1 shot, and while it may be a long one, it’s far from a fantasy.
Manchester City, usually the surest of sure things, are looking a little wobbly. Only two wins in their last seven? That’s not the form we usually see from the Sky Blues. Their matchup against Wolves, however, still has them as strong favorites. Wolves’ defense has more holes than a Friday night kebab, and with City’s firepower, a 3+ goal haul is on the cards.
Chelsea face Crystal Palace, and with Palace in disarray, this is a prime spot to back the Blues. At even money, Chelsea on the moneyline is one of the more straightforward bets of the weekend. Palace have struggled to generate quality chances, while Chelsea are slowly putting the pieces together. Expect them to take advantage of Palace’s central-zone vulnerabilities.
Newcastle and Aston Villa could deliver fireworks too. Recent history between the two suggests goals galore, so over 2.5 and both teams to score at 10/11 is well worth a punt. Goals, goals, goals here.
Looking for a lock? Chelsea to beat Palace at even money is as good as it gets. Both form and data back it up. If you're sniffing around for a dog, Manchester United at 5/1 is barking loudly. They’ve got the talent, if they can put it together on the day, it could be a big payout.
In the goal scorer market, Florian Wirtz is finding his groove again. At 3/1 anytime and 10/1 for first or last goal, he's worth a sprinkle, especially considering the leaky defenses he's up against. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is another name to watch. If Everton are to get on the board against Leeds, he’s the likely lad to do it.
If you’re feeling spicy, the Cornbread Pie Accumulator is back. Both teams to score in Newcastle vs Arsenal, Bournemouth vs Liverpool, and one more of your choosing pays out at 16/5. And for the thrill-seekers, the 1-1 draw double, West Ham vs Sunderland and Everton vs Leeds, is a whopping 42/1. That’s the kind of bet you tell your mates about if it lands.

Dive into FA Cup nostalgia and betting value as we relive iconic moments from Conor Wickham, Dimitri Payet, and Sol Bamba, then pivot to this weekend’s ties. From goal-heavy Newcastle vs Bournemouth to handicaps on Wolves and Chelsea, plus smart angles on Spurs and Arsenal, this guide blends memories, matchups, and sharp punts for a classic Cup weekend.

Bodo/Glimt delivered a shock 3-1 Champions League victory over Manchester City, with striker Kasper Hogh scoring twice in the first half. Rodri's red card compounded City's misery as they battle form issues and potential fixture congestion. Meanwhile, Arsenal dominated Inter Milan, Tottenham beat Borussia Dortmund, and PSG squandered chances in a 2-1 loss to Sporting.

English Premier League clubs dominate the 2025-26 Champions League with Liverpool, Newcastle, and Chelsea delivering commanding performances. The Swiss model format creates chaos and betting opportunities, while underdog stories like Karabakh's upset remind fans that unpredictability reigns. Bayern Munich and Liverpool emerge as top contenders as the tournament heads toward knockouts.
As always, enjoy the football, place your bets wisely, and remember, sometimes a 1-1 draw is all you need to make your weekend a winner.
