Premier League Predictions

This Round's Best Premier League Odds

Prices below reflect the shortest odds in our sampled data for each fixture. Betfair holds most of the leading prices, with BoyleSports and Ladbrokes topping individual selections.

• Arsenal v Coventry City (21 Aug): Arsenal 1.20, Draw 8.20, Coventry 19.50 (Betfair). A heavy home favourite where the value, if any, sits in match-specific markets rather than the win line.
• Hull City v Manchester United (22 Aug): Hull 8.60, Draw 4.90, United 1.46 (Betfair).
• Everton v Crystal Palace (22 Aug): Everton 2.24, Draw 3.55, Palace 3.55 (Betfair). A genuinely open pricing spread.
• Ipswich Town v Sunderland (22 Aug): Ipswich 2.82, Draw 3.50 (BoyleSports), Sunderland 2.78 (Betfair). The draw price is best away from Betfair here.
• Nottingham Forest v Leeds United (22 Aug): Forest 2.38, Draw 3.50, Leeds 3.30 (Betfair).
• Brentford v Tottenham Hotspur (22 Aug): Brentford 2.54, Draw 3.75, Spurs 2.88 (Betfair).
• Brighton v Aston Villa (23 Aug): Brighton 2.32, Draw 3.85, Villa 3.10 (Betfair).
• Manchester City v Bournemouth (23 Aug): City 1.50, Draw 5.20, Bournemouth 6.40 (Betfair).
• Newcastle United v Liverpool (23 Aug): Newcastle 3.95, Draw 4.00, Liverpool 1.97 (Betfair). One of the tightest favourite prices of the round.
• Fulham v Chelsea (24 Aug): Fulham 3.60, Draw 4.00 (Betfair), Chelsea 2.10 (Ladbrokes).

How to Read These Prices Before You Bet

A best price is only useful if you can act on it. Several of the leading quotes above come from Betfair, which in our sampled odds data returned the best available price on roughly 53% of markets and the lowest average margin (about 4.3%). That margin advantage is the main reason so many top prices land there.

Where favourites are short — Arsenal at 1.20 or City at 1.50 — the sportsbook edge matters less than your staking discipline. On tighter contests like Newcastle v Liverpool or Everton v Crystal Palace, a fraction of a point on the price genuinely changes long-term returns, so it's worth checking two or three books before you place.

Odds move as team news and money come in. Compare a couple of operators on the morning of kick-off rather than pricing off a figure that may have shortened overnight.

Which Bookmaker Suits Your Premier League Betting

All operators referenced here are licensed to accept Irish players, and the newer Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) framework now oversees the market. Paddy Power, BoyleSports and Novibet are noted in our data as GRAI-regulated.

• Choose Betfair if best price matters most. It leads our sampled margin and best-price share figures and offers Cash Out and Live Streaming. Note it is not listed with a Bet Builder in our feature data, so avoid it if season-long same-game builders are your main play.
• Choose bet365 for the widest coverage. It scores highest on market coverage (9.6), sports depth (9.5) and live capability (9.4), with Live Betting, Cash Out, Bet Builder and Live Streaming, plus Apple Pay and Revolut Pay support.
• Choose Paddy Power for an Irish-facing all-rounder. GRAI-regulated, strong app rating (8.8), Bet Builder, Live Streaming and Fast Payout, with Apple Pay and Revolut Pay.
• Choose Ladbrokes or William Hill for consistently competitive prices. Ladbrokes posted the best price on around 22% of our sampled markets and William Hill on around 17%, both with low margins and Live Streaming.
• Choose BoyleSports if you want a long-established GRAI-regulated Irish book with Bet Builder and Apple Pay.

Withdrawal windows are quoted at 0–24 hours across these operators and the minimum deposit is €10. If PayPal, Apple Pay or Revolut Pay is essential, check the operator's payment list first — support varies between books.

Building Multiples Across the Round

If you're combining several of the weekend fixtures into an acca, be aware that the short favourites (Arsenal, City, United, Liverpool) drag the total price down fast while adding cumulative risk. A safer structure is a Bet Builder within one game — for example combining a favourite with a goals or corners line — rather than stacking win lines across matches.

For same-game builders, bet365, Paddy Power, William Hill, Ladbrokes and Unibet all list Bet Builder in their feature set. Match your acca ambitions to the operator: books with Cash Out let you close a multiple early if one leg lands and the rest look shaky.
