Another week, another wild ride through the Premier League and beyond. From Bournemouth's Friday night curtain-raiser to City's Sunday showpiece, there’s a smorgasbord of action to sink your betting teeth into. We’ve got goals, corners, cards, and enough tactical confusion at Manchester United to make your head spin. Let's dig into the best betting angles for the weekend's fixtures and see where the value lies.
Bournemouth host Fulham in a matchup that’s flying a little under the radar, but shouldn’t be ignored by punters. Bournemouth are slight favorites at 17-20, and they’ve quietly put together a decent run since their opening day thrashing by Liverpool. Fulham, on the other hand, have been flatter than a pint left out overnight, offering little in their last outing.
The pick here? Goals. Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals looks juicy. Bournemouth have the edge at home and a 2-1 scoreline feels about right. If you’re feeling bold, Bournemouth to win and both teams to score could be the combo play.
Let’s start with the chaos capital of England: Manchester United. They're hosting Sunderland, and if you’re brave enough to back United at short odds, you might also believe in unicorns. Sunderland have only lost once all season and are riding a hot streak of 5-1 wins. United, meanwhile, are allergic to clean sheets and tactical stability.
The safe bet? Both teams to score. If you're feeling spicy, Sunderland double chance at 13-8 is massive value. Just ignore any delusional hunches about United winning 4-0 – even their manager probably doesn’t believe that.
Then there’s Chelsea vs Liverpool, the weekend’s “what on Earth is happening here?” match. Chelsea have seen more red than a Manchester derby, with three straight games ending in dismissals. Liverpool are regressing to the mean, and both teams are playing like they think defense is optional.
So, what’s the angle? Props, baby. Over 27.5 total shots is worth a look, with both teams averaging over 13 per game. Also, over 4.5 cards might be the real winner – this game screams handbags and hotheads.
Speaking of spicy, Spurs take on Leeds, and corners are the name of the game. Tottenham have been racking them up, and a ladder starting at over 5.5 corners (even money) could be your easiest payday of the weekend. Ride it all the way up to over 11.5 if you're feeling adventurous.
Villa vs Burnley is a head-scratcher. Villa have been Jekyll and Hyde, while Burnley are just... Burnley. The under 2.5 goals market looks solid, especially if you expect Villa to control but not explode. If you want extra action, both teams to score could sneak in at a decent price.
Crystal Palace travel to Everton, and Palace draw no bet at even money is a lovely underdog angle. Palace have been quietly efficient and could nick this one. For a bolder play, over 1.5 Palace team goals is definitely worth a flutter.
Newcastle vs Nottingham Forest is interesting. Forest can’t keep a clean sheet to save their lives, but Newcastle aren't exactly firing on all cylinders either. The Toon Army have been corner merchants lately, so over 6.5 Newcastle corners at 10-11 is your best bet here.
And then we’ve got Wolves vs Brighton. Flip a coin, light a candle, and hope for the best. Brighton are unpredictable, Wolves are gritty. If you must bet, Brighton to win at 9-10 is reasonable. But don’t be surprised if this ends in chaos. Or boredom. Or both.
Let’s not forget the player props and card markets. This week’s card treble includes Tyler Adams (Bournemouth), Kai Caicedo (Chelsea), and Matt Doherty (Wolves) – a delicious 55-1 triple if you’re feeling lucky. Take the doubles too if you want to hedge a little.
In the goalscorer market, Eberechi Eze is fancied to find the net. He’s 6-4 anytime and 5-1 for first or last. With Palace expected to push forward, he could be the man to back.
And the ladder of the week? Spurs corners again. Over 5.5 at even money, then take it step by step up to 11.5 if they start strong. They got 10 last week, so this one’s got legs.
