Premier League Kicks Off in Style: Jake’s Top Tips for the Premier League Opening Weekend
The wait is over, football fans! The Premier League returns with a bang this weekend, and our expert tipster, Jake, has crunched the numbers to bring you his best bets for the opening weekend. After a profitable season last year, Jake aims to continue his winning streak with another season in the green.
Liverpool vs Bournemouth (Friday, 20:00)
- 1pt Alex Scott to be carded at 9/4
Jake kicks off his selections with a player card bet, backing Bournemouth’s Alex Scott to be carded at Anfield. Scott picked up three yellows in limited minutes last season, averaging 0.36 cards per 90, and has carried that form into the summer’s U21 Euros, being carded twice in three games (0.51 per 90). With Liverpool’s high press and Bournemouth’s aggressive foul-counting style, Scott could find himself in referee Anthony Taylor’s notebook. Odds: 9/4 (Sky Bet)
Aston Villa vs Newcastle (Saturday, 12:30)
- 1.5pts Joelinton to be carded at 2/1
Jake likes the look of Newcastle’s Joelinton to pick up a card at Villa Park. The Brazilian was cautioned 10 times in 29 league appearances last season (0.37 per 90) and has a history of picking up yellows against Aston Villa, having been booked in both matches last term. Craig Pawson is the man with the whistle, and Jake expects Joelinton’s impulsive style to see him booked at 2/1. Odds: 2/1 (Sky Bet, Paddy Power, Betfair)
Brighton vs Fulham (Saturday, 15:00)
- Score prediction: Brighton 2-1 Fulham (Sky Bet odds: 7/1)
Jake struggles to get a handle on this fixture, with both Brighton and Fulham proving tough to predict last season. He advises spectators to enjoy the game without any betting interest.
Sunderland vs West Ham (Saturday, 17:30)
- 2pts Under 2.5 goals at 10/11
Jake expects Sunderland to keep things tight in their Premier League return, with West Ham’s struggling attack proving no match for the Black Cats’ organized defense under Graham Potter. With both teams playing defensively, expect a low-scoring affair. Odds: 10/11 (General)
Wolves vs Manchester City (Saturday, 17:30)
- 2.5pts Erling Haaland to score anytime at 5/6
Erling Haaland loves the month of August, scoring an eye-watering 19 goals in 11 games during the month since joining Manchester City. Back the Norwegian to continue his incredible form and score anytime against Wolves at 5/6. Jake also chases a bigger score by backing Haaland to hit two or more goals at 4/1 (Paddy Power) and 20/1 (Sky Bet) for the hat-trick. - Score prediction: Wolves 1-3 Manchester City (Sky Bet odds: 10/1)
City should have too much firepower for Wolves, with Erling Haaland expected to continue his sensational August form.
Chelsea vs Crystal Palace (Sunday, 16:30)
- Score prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Crystal Palace (Sky Bet odds: 15/2)
Jake expects Chelsea’s summer recruits to make a significant impact in their opening game, with Crystal Palace proving no match for the improved Blues. Though he was tempted by the under 2.5 goal price, Jake advises against betting due to the price on the home win.
Nottingham Forest vs Brentford (Sunday, 14:00)
- 2pts Under 2.5 goals at 10/11
Jake expects a low-scoring affair at the City Ground, with both teams boasting solid defenses and missing key attacking personnel. With Forest conceding just 16 goals at home last season and Brentford averaging just 1.35 xGA away from home under Thomas Frank, expect a controlled and defensive game from both sides. - Score prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Brentford (Sky Bet odds: 11/2)
So there you have it, folks! Jake’s top tips for the Premier League opening weekend. With a healthy profit and impressive ROI from last season, Jake is confident of building on that success this term. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for his accumulator tips, which will be posted later in the week.
