Premier League Matchday 2 Preview: Liverpool Aiming to Fly Past Bournemouth

After a thrilling opening weekend in the Premier League, punters face some difficult betting decisions in the second round of matches.

Several upcoming EPL games look extremely difficult to predict, which undoubtedly makes things interesting on the best football betting sites.

With that in mind, we take a look at the standout games on Matchday 2 and assess some of the key betting angles to consider.

Highlights

  • Liverpool fancied to get off to a flyer.
  • Villa eager to bounce back.
  • Arsenal look good at Palace.

Liverpool Set to Fly Out of the Blocks

Liverpool made a fast start at Chelsea last weekend, taking an early lead before being pegged back by the home side a few minutes before half-time.

The Reds will be eager to get off to a flyer in their first home game on Saturday and will fancy their chances of putting Bournemouth to the sword.

Several new betting sites are offering odds of 6/4 for a goal to be scored in the first 15 minutes which looks a tempting proposition given the firepower Liverpool possess.

Villa Fancied to Continue Everton Dominance

After slipping to 5-1 defeat at Newcastle United on the opening weekend, Aston Villa look a good bet to bounce back at home to Everton on Matchday 2.

The Midlands outfit have won six and drawn two of their last eight meetings with the Toffees and will be keen to enhance that record at Villa Park.

Odds of 4/6 for to Villa to win are available on numerous betting apps and should deliver a winning return for punters this weekend.

Arsenal Aiming to Follow Up at Palace

Arsenal eased to a 2-1 home victory over Nottingham Forest last weekend and should have little difficulty following up at Crystal Palace on Monday.

The Gunners have historically had the upper hand over Palace and hammered home that message by completing the double over them last season.

Mikel Arteta’s side are priced at odds of 13/10 at Betgoodwin to win to nil at Selhurst Park and that looks well worth an intertest.
