Our football betting specialist, Jones Knows, returns with his predictions for the Premier League, sharing his insights and top betting strategies.
When evaluating all factors, the odds of 6/5 with Sky Bet for an Aston Villa victory are quite appealing.
Newcastle will be without Alexander Isak due to issues that have been poorly handled by his advisers—this situation could have been avoided.
Eddie Howe has managed the situation adeptly, opting for a measured approach rather than publicly criticizing Isak. Despite this, Howe’s record shows that he struggles to initiate seasons effectively, averaging only 1.25 points per game across his first three league games with previous clubs, including a winless pre-season leading into this match.
Aston Villa boasts an impressive 24-game unbeaten streak at home, having won their last seven matches—including a 4-1 victory over Newcastle last April.
SCORE PREDICTION: 2-0 | JONES KNOWS BEST BET: Aston Villa to win (6/5 with Sky Bet)
For a match this weekend that could produce plentiful goals, consider the over 2.5 goals line at odds of 4/6 with Sky Bet. Brighton tends to adopt an aggressive attacking style at home, which often leaves them vulnerable defensively, with 27 out of 38 of their games last season seeing three or more goals scored.
SCORE PREDICTION: 2-2
This matchup has the potential to end in a goalless draw. Sunderland’s scoring struggles are evident, having averaged just 1.29 goals per game last season. The defensive-first approach under Regis Le Bris could limit their chances, making a 0-0 draw at appealing odds of 11/1 with Sky Bet a viable bet.
SCORE PREDICTION: 0-0
While Burnley may not be expected to dominate North London, they could prove tougher competition than the odds suggest. Manager Thomas Frank faces high expectations but lacks experience in managing a squad competing on multiple fronts. Burnley’s pragmatic style may cause difficulties for Spurs, and covering their +1.5 goal handicap at 4/5 with Sky Bet could be profitable.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1
Jhon Arias appears ready to make a significant impact in the Premier League with Wolves. His performances in the Club World Cup evidence his capability to adapt quickly. Back him to be fouled at least twice through Sky Bet’s BuildABet option.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2
Chelsea vs Crystal Palace, Sunday 2pm, live on Sky Sports – PLAY SUPER 6 TO WIN £1M!
With Chelsea’s odds adjusted from 20/1 to 8/1 for the Premier League title, Enzo Maresca may indeed be constructing an exciting team. The partnership of Moises Caicedo and Cole Palmer could play a crucial role in what may become a title-winning squad, emphasizing strong performances in pivotal matches.
SCORE PREDICTION: 3-1
Nottingham Forest vs Brentford, Sunday 2pm, live on Sky Sports – PLAY SUPER 6 TO WIN £1M!
Nottingham Forest’s prior success may be unsustainable, raising concerns regarding their improvement. Their highest scorer, Chris Wood, and goalkeeper Matz Sels had standout seasons that may be hard to replicate. With European commitments this season, a draw at 12/5 with Sky Bet is worth considering.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1
Manchester United vs Arsenal, Sunday 4.30pm, live on Sky Sports
This match promises entertainment, but it might lack goals. I favor the under 2.5 goals bet at 10/11 with Sky Bet. Arsenal has shown inconsistency on the road and tends to perform under expectations, with several matches ending in draws.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1 | JONES KNOWS BEST BET: Under 2.5 goals (10/11 with Sky Bet)
Leeds vs Everton, Monday 8pm, live on Sky Sports
While Leeds garners much attention, Everton may also surprise this season. David Moyes has been effective, boasting a win ratio that surpasses several notable managers. With a solid defense and strategic investments, Everton looks promising at Elland Road, with odds of 19/10 for an away victory intriguing.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2
