After a round of weekday games, we are approaching matchday 15 for the EPL. We have a fun weekend of games in store!
Today, we’ll reveal the opening odds and three best bets below for the EPL’s 15 Matchday schedule. Let's get into it!
Don’t overthink this game. Liverpool has been practically unbeatable this season while Everton has managed only 2 wins all year.
Liverpool has a strong advantage atop the league right now and I am not expecting them to falter against Everton. However, Everton is coming off a dominating 4-0 win against Wolves, but that shouldn’t matter.
Southampton, currently sitting in last place, has been plain bad this season. They have managed only one win and 2 draws through 14 games.
Villa, on the other hand, got off to a strong start but have struggled their last 5. Coming off of a 3-1 against Brantford and now facing lowly Southampton, a win here should be good momentum for VIlla.
This should be a fun matchup between two solid teams. Both of these teams have shown the ability to beat good teams, but also lose to the lower level.
Despite this, Brentford has been amazing at home, winning 6 of 7. Having the home field this game should be a boost for The Bees, especially with Newcastle coming off an amazing 3-3 draw with Liverpool.
Man City finally got back on track Wednesday with a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest after dropping four straight league games. Now sitting at 4th place, they are nine points back from a Liverpool squad that has been rolling.
Palace has not been great, but they are coming off their second win of the season. I am expecting City to overpower a Palace team that has averaged less than a goal/game.
Both of these teams are coming off of tough losses in the midweek slate of games. Man U had started to look solid under their new management but fell 2-0 to Arsenal.
Forest, who currently sits 6th in the league, has begun to fall off a bit from their hot start. They have won 2 and lost 3 in their last 5. Man U, despite being lower in the standings, is the more talented team, and having the home turf should help them out.
Arsenal seems to have once again caught their stride after slipping for a few weeks. They have won 3 straight games and scored 10 goals through that stretch.
Arsenal hasn’t been necessarily great on the road this season, but they have much more talent than Fulham. However, Fulham ended an 11-year winless streak against Arsenal last season so they will look to not start another streak.
Ipswich hasn’t been able to close out many games, but they have had the ability to draw 6 times so far this season.
Bournemouth has been good so far this season and is the more talented team. This game could be interesting, but I expect a low-scoring affair.
Leicester got off to a horrible start this season. However, they are now under new management with Ruud Van Nistelrooy and are coming off a dominant 3-1 win against West Ham.
Brighton is the clear favorite still. They sit at 5th in the league and have only dropped 2 games so far this season. Leicester may have a new fire under them, but we’ll see if it's enough to propel them in this game.
This is my favorite matchup of the weekend between two legendary squads. Chelsea has been great so far this season and are unbeaten in their last 5 league games.
Spurs have been up and down, but they are always a threat with the talent they have on their team. I think this game will be a high-scoring affair, but I think Chelsea will be able to outpace a mid-tier Tottenham squad.
Both of these teams have been faltering. Both teams are fighting against relegation so this will be a big matchup.
West Ham has managed more wins and has shown flashes of ability. I think they will profit from being the home team against a weak Wolves side.
Bournemouth at Ipswich to Draw (+255) - If there is one thing Ipswich has been good at, it is keeping games close. They have managed 6 draws so far this season and they have the home field on their side.
Brentford +175 vs Newcastle - Brentford has been great at home so far this season, winning 6 of their 7 games. I think the odds are too good to pass up
Liverpool -225 vs Everton - I have to take Liverpool at home. Everton has been struggling hard, so they will be sure to come out firing. Liverpool will have to withstand the attack, and I think they are talented enough to pull it off.
