AN intriguing opening weekend as the Premier League returned pretty much as expected. Arsenal, Man City, and Liverpool all won, while Spurs flattered to deceive after feeling the wrath of Vardy, despite dominating. An early sign of things to come from Ange Postecoglu’s men?
The guys from OPTA have returned, scouring their records and using their incredible database of facts and stats to determine the best bets from a selection of Premier League games this weekend.
Science rocks!
BOURNEMOUTH vs NEWCASTLE
Newcastle United have conceded at least one goal in their last 11 Premier League games against Bournemouth; their 10 away league games in 2024 have seen 44 goals scored overall, an average of 4.4 per game.
MAN CITY vs IPSWICH
Manchester City have scored four or more goals in five of their last nine home Premier League games against newly promoted clubs, averaging 3.8 goals per game in these nine games at the Etihad since the start of 2021-22.
CRYSTAL PALACE vs WEST HAM
Both teams have scored in each of the last 14 Premier League meetings between Crystal Palace and West Ham – only Fulham against Man City (15 between 2004 and 2011) has had a longer such run in the competition’s history.
LIVERPOOL vs BRENTFORD
Mohamed Salah has scored five goals in five Premier League appearances against Brentford – he has netted the first goal in both of his appearances against the Bees at Anfield.
