We are approaching the 9th Week of EPL action, and we have a great weekend of matches.
Today, we’ll reveal the opening odds and three best bets below for the EPL’s Week 9 schedule. Let's get into it!
Leicester seems to be finding their stride recently, winning their last 2 games after being winless in their first 6. Nottingham Forest has been consistently solid thus far, losing just one game.
Forest has also been undefeated on the road so far this season. Forest has a stout defense, so it will be fun to see if Leicester can keep their hot streak alive.
Villa has been amazing to start the season, currently sitting 4th in the League Table. Bournemouth hasn’t been awful but has struggled lately, losing 3 of their last 5.
Villa is the superior team and with the home-field advantage, it will be tough for Bournemouth to get back on track.
Neither of these teams have been amazing this season, but this could be an opportunity for both sides. Ipswich has yet to win a game but has managed 4 draws.
Brentford have been amazing at home, with all 3 of their wins coming at GTECH Community Stadium. Look for that to be an advantage this weekend.
Brighton, currently sitting 5th in the league, has gotten off to a solid start. On the other hand, Wolves are winless and have lost 7 of their 8 games.
There shouldn’t be much to look into for this one. Brighton is the much better team with home-field advantage.
As you can see from the odds, this game is very lopsided. Southampton has been terrible, and Man City is once again a title contender. It is shaping up to be a beatdown in Etihad Stadium.
Everton have turned things around after losing their first 4 games of the season. They are now unbeaten in their last 4 games and are facing a Fulham squad that is coming off of 2 straight losses. The home-field advantage should help Everton try to keep their unbeaten streak alive.
Both of these teams are coming off of tough losses last weekend. Chelsea lost 2-1 to league-leading Liverpool, while Newcastle lost 1-0 to a solid Brighton squad.
Chelsea’s offense has been great this season led by Cole Palmer, and the crowd at Stamford Bridge should give them a boost in this big matchup.
Crystal Palace has been bad this season. Still winless through 8 games it will be a tall task to try and secure that first win against Tottenham.
Tottenham hasn’t been amazing so far, but they have scored 12 goals in their last 4 games. I’m not sure Crystal Palace can keep that pace.
Man U has been seemingly turning things around, losing just one of their last 5. However, their lack of goal-scoring has been very evident.
Their defense has been solid, but they will need to score goals against a shaky West Ham defense to get a win this weekend.
This is going to be a very fun game between two of the best teams in the league. Liverpool is looking to stay positioned at the top spot in the league, while Arsenal is looking to make up ground after a tough loss to Bournemouth last weekend.
Liverpool has looked amazing since their surprise loss to Nottingham Forest a few weeks back, but this will be a very tough road test.
Phil Foden (Man City) to Score against Southampton +125 - Man City will have the ability to score a ton against a bad Southampton squad. Foden is 2nd on the team in scoring and is always involved in the offense.
Aston Villa -110 over Bournemouth - Bournemouth hasn’t been great as of late and Vill have a great track record at home.
Arsenal +140 over Liverpool - This game is too fun not to make a bet on. Whenever you can get Arsenal plus money at home, you should take it. Even if it’s against a red-hot Liverpool squad.
