The second round of the Premier League is ahead of us, and it is time to start preparing for our bets with the attempts to beat the bookmakers. We have ten games ahead of us, spread over the weekend, and there are several exciting betting opportunities.

Starting this weekend, we’ll update this thread every week with our Premier League betting tips, and we hope that you will participate in the discussion and share your own tips and betslips. There is room for all kinds of betting here, so feel free to post both short and long tips, betbuilders, accas/parleys and single bets.

The highlight of the round is the Saturday evening clash between Aston Villa and Arsenal at Villa Park. Both teams are entering the season with high hopes to compete at the very top and they both won their opening fixture last weekend. Last season’s number two in the Premier League, Arsenal, comes to Villa Park as the favourites. They played well in their season opener and are looking to challenge for the title once again.

The price on the away side, however, is a bit too low for my liking. Villa Park is a difficult place to visit, and Villa won their previous home match against Gunners with 1-0.

My best bet for this match is a player prop found at Bet365. They offer odds 2.10 on Martin Ødegaard over 0.5 shots on target. Last season the Norwegian averaged 2.2 shots per match with 0.7 on target per match and scored eight league goals. He is one of the set piece takers for Arsenal, and an absolute key player in their offensive gameplan. Villa are furthermore looking slightly worse defensively compared to last season after the loss of Brazilian international Douglas Luiz. I think Ødegaard will be able to find space and dangerous situations here.
 
The second most interesting match this round, in my humble opinion, is the fixture at Anfield Road where Liverpool takes on Brentford in Arne Slot’s homefield debut. Liverpool are firm favourites here, but Brentford have previously proved that they can cause trouble for all teams.

Once again, the price on the favourites is too low for my liking. Brentford is not a bad team, and they played well in their victory over Crystal Palace last weekend. Instead, I’m looking at a player that looks set to have a really nice season under Slot’s guidance – Diogo Jota. I recommend betting on Jota to score anytime at odds 2.00 at Bet365. The Portuguese international scored last weekend, and looked really good. Jota should start for Liverpool again, and he also scored in the home match against Brentford last season.

After two days of Champions League football, we are on to the lesser European tournaments tonight. However, that doesn't mean that we don't have some exciting matches ahead of us. The prime one is in the Europa League between two former Champions League winners in FC Porto and Manchester United. 

The Portuguese powerhouse are favourites at home at odds 2.30 at Bet365, while Manchester United are priced at odds 2.90. 
When looking at this match, it is difficult, nearly impossible, to be optimistic on Man United's behalf. They are entering this match as a team in a deep crisis, and my Porto - Man Utd prediction is therefore FC Porto (0) at odds 1.67 at Bet365. This asian handicap line is the same as betting on the draw-no-bet market, but the payout and odds is slightly higher. 
I'm putting my money on Porto here since they have only lost once at home at Estadio do Dragao in 2024. They have defeated big clubs like Arsenal and Shakhtar Donetsk here recently, and have also won all of their home matches this season. 
Man United on the other hand have played three matches in a row without winning and are looking lost. They were demolished at home to Tottenham in the weekend, and have won just three of their last nine matches. Manager Erik Ten Hag seems doomed and like a person who is running out of ideas. To make things worse for United, they have only scored five goals in the league so far this season and have only scored in two of their five league matches. 
Since United have a packed schedule, I'm also expecting them to give a few back up players the chance in this match. We saw that against Twente in the first round where Christian Eriksen started for example. 

The highlight of the upcoming Premier League round is without a doubt the North London derby Sunday evening between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. It is one of the fiercest derbies in English football, and we are in for a proper treat here. 
Arsenal enters the match in great form and are the bookmaker favourites as well. Bet365 are at the time of writing offering odds 2.30 on an Arsenal victory, while the home team are offered at odds 3.00. 
Tottenham are off to a mixed start this season with just four points in their first three matches. Last week, they suffered a defeat to Newcastle, and they are starting to get under pressure to get some points. 
Arsenal on the other hand have started great. They have seven points so far despite facing difficult opponents in Wolves, Villa and Brighton. Before their draw against Brighton before the national team break, they had eight Premier League victories in a row, and they are obviously looking to start a new winning streak here. 
It speaks to Arsenal's advantage that they have won the previous two North London derbies at Tottenham's stadium. However, Spurs have a good chance here for breaking that streak as the guests will be without star players Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard. 
I expect a close match between two good teams, and I think the absence of Arsenal's midfield stars is a crucial aspect here. My Tottenham - Arsenal prediction is therefore a draw at odds 3.50 at Bet365. 
This is a result that both teams should be relatively satisfied with, and I expect an even match here. 
 

Personally, I have a personal spreadsheet where I track all my bets. I'm also noting down my inspirations for the bets to see which sources are profitable and which aren't. This way I've also learnt of various bad habits I have, and tried to erradicate them. 
I'm strictly sticking to value betting naturally and my staking is unit based on my overall bankroll size. Here I take into consideration both the value and the risk of the specific bet. Mostly I'm sticking to single bets. 
At the end of the day though, I think the most important thing is the discipline to not throw money away on bad bets and to avoid tilt.

Hi! 
Thank you for the introduction! I'm very happy to be here and looking forward to contributing. 
I've been working with sports betting since the mid-00s. I've been running both my own betting tip website, a tip subscribtion service and worked as a tipster on one of the largest betting sites in Scandinavia. 
I have always been a firm believer in the importance of discipline and value betting when it comes to beating the bookmakers, and are these days mostly betting on Danish football as well as NFL - especially player props.
