Premier League Week 1 Predictions, Odds & EPL Best Bets

• ⭐ A tie at halftime and Sheffield to win at full time (+550) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Sheffield United is back in the Premier League for this season and will kick off its campaign with a visit from Crystal Palace at Bramall Lane. Although the sportsbooks favor Palace, our Sheffield United to beat Crystal Palace prediction leans towards the Blades.

The newly-promoted team was last in the Premier League three seasons ago and was relegated by finishing 20th. However, it managed to secure five of its seven Premier League wins that season at home and was significantly better defensively at Bramall Lane by letting in nine fewer goals.

Sheffield’s home ground is also known to bring an incredible atmosphere, and after three years away from the Premier League, we expect fans to act like a 12th player in this game. Palace has also made no significant signings this summer and lost its best player over the past decade, Wilfried Zaha.

As part of our EPL best bets, we’re also picking under 2.5 goals at -154 with BetMGM.

• ⭐ Bournemouth to win 2-1, 3-1 or 4-1 (+500) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Just like our above pick, for our Bournemouth vs. West Ham prediction, we’re picking another home win because of the poor summer the Hammers have had.

In fact, despite earning more than $120 million for the sale of Declan Rice, West Ham has signed only Sean Moore from Cliftonville, who himself is relatively unknown. 

It has also lost Gianluca Scamacca, Arthur Masuaku and Manuel Lanzini and ultimately, after a 14th-placed finish last season, it has only got worse over the summer.

Bournemouth has also had a great transfer window this summer by bringing in Hamed Traorè, Justin Kluivert and Milos Kerkez to bulk up its squad across the field, so other EPL best bets to consider is for Kluivert to score with FanDuel.

• ⭐ Everton to win 2-1 (+800) at Caesars Sportsbook

After narrowly avoiding relegation for the second season in a row, there is a bit more hope circling Goodison Park for 2023/24 with Everton having Sean Dyche at the helm. Everton has also signed Youssef Chermiti and Ashley Young this summer, and the former could end up being one of the transfers of the year.

However, Calvin Bassey and Raul Jimenez have also joined the Fulham squad this season and both will likely prove great additions to the team. With this in mind, our Everton vs. Fulham prediction leans towards both teams scoring with the home team getting a narrow win as part of our EPL best bets.

Fulham also conceded only four fewer goals than Everton, despite finishing seven places above it last season. At the same time, the Cottagers lost only two fewer games, as Everton won six of its eight games at Goodison Park.

• ⭐ Newcastle to win and over 2.5 goals (+160) at DraftKings Sportsbook

We keep the EPL best bets going with our Newcastle vs. Aston Villa prediction, where we expect another home victory.

Newcastle was sensational last season and secured its highest Premier League finish for more than 20 years by ending up in fourth spot. It has also only got better over the summer, as the world’s richest club has brought in Harvey Barnes, Sandro Tonali and Tino Livramento.

The Magpies also lost just two of its 19 home games last season, while Villa only won six away games and scored only 18 of its 51 Premier League goals away from home.

Big things are expected of Newcastle this season with it being in the Champions League and entering another campaign under the Saudi-backed ownership that sees it as the richest club in the world and arguably the most promising team in world soccer right now.

• ⭐ Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool (+1200) at bet365 Sportsbook

The biggest pick of this weekend is our Chelsea vs. Liverpool prediction, as two of the world’s biggest clubs square off on matchday one.

Oddly enough, however, these two have stunningly had four consecutive 0-0 ties since early 2022. On the other hand, things are very different this year, as Liverpool has finally revamped its midfield with Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, while Chelsea has brought on Mauricio Pochettino as head coach.

At Stamford Bridge, we have singled out a few of the weekend’s EPL best bets to consider. Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is -110 with bet365 - this has come 31 times in the Premier League era in Chelsea vs. Liverpool matches. 

A goal in the first 10 minutes is +333, which is worth considering as both teams aim to put behind them the underwhelming 2022/23 season. Mohamed Salah has also scored seven times in 21 games against Chelsea and is +162 to score anytime.
