Premier League Picks & Predictions

Premier League Overview and Picks

Premier League predictions are among the most popular among bettors in the US and around the world, with good reason. The top 20 English clubs fascinate soccer fans every weekend. Whether they are fighting for the title, aiming to qualify for Europe or doing their utmost to avoid relegation to the Championship. 

From the first matchday of the English championship to the last, our experts' predictions for Premier League matches will help you make your soccer predictions. Below you will find our general predictions, as well as statistics and tips to get your English Premier League predictions right. 

Premier League Title Pick: who will win the 2024-2025 Premier League?

Once again, every Premier League matchday promises to be extremely hotly contested from top to bottom until the end of the 2024-2025 season, as was the case last year and in previous years in English soccer.

In the various mythical stadiums of this English championship, from Old Trafford to Emirates Stadium, via Anfield or Stamford Bridge, England's top clubs will be battling it out for the title of champion, but also for European Cup places such as the Champions League, Europa League or Europa Conference League, or simply to remain among England's elite...

As far as the Premier League title is concerned, Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are once again the sportsbooks' favorites. Although it may not be as straightforward as it was a few years ago, as we saw last year (and the year before that) with Arsenal's presence right up to the final day, the Citizens still have what it takes to clinch a fifth consecutive title... and a sixth in seven years!

Other contenders such as Liverpool, a regular in recent seasons, and of course Arsenal, could have something to say about this, but it seems difficult to see them competing with the Manchester armada over 38 matchdays. Our Premier League prediction: Manchester City champion of England 2024-2025!

Premier League Top 4 prediction: which teams will qualify for the Champions League?

Betting on the Premier League also means betting on European Championship futures. As usual, in addition to the future champion of England, the teams finishing second, third and fourth in the Premier League will earn their tickets for the Champions League 2025-2026 edition. Our prediction for these four Champions League places is as follows: Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United in the top 4!

Behind Manchester City, who are expected to be champions of England, the Reds and Gunners should be fighting for the title, and therefore seem more than capable of taking a place in the top 4. Other teams such as Chelsea, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Newcastle are also worth keeping an eye on.

Which Premier League Teams Could Qualify for the Europa League?

In addition to the English Cup winner, the eventual fifth-placed Premier League team will qualify for the UEFA Europa League for the 2025-2026 season. And in the fight for a place in the Europa League, the clubs mentioned above - Tottenham Spurs, Chelsea Blues, Manchester United Red Devils, Newcastle Magpies and Aston Villa Villans - are likely to feature prominently. This time, the latter could well be joined by Brighton and West Ham.

Right after the top 4, for which you can find our prediction above, we see Chelsea finishing in fifth place and qualifying for the Europa League. Our prediction: Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea in the top 5!

Europa Conference League Qualification Prediction: Which Premier League club will be in the UEFA Europa Conference League?

The club finishing 6th or 7th in the Premier League this season could be offered the right to take part in the next UEFA Europa Conference League. Considered Europe's third most prestigious cup, the ECL has already seen Tottenham and Aston Villa take part, but above all West Ham won it two years ago. Officially, the winner of the English League Cup will qualify for this competition. But if it's a club that qualifies for the Champions League or Europa League via the league that wins this cup, then 6th or 7th place could qualify.

Here again, it's really difficult to make a prediction. Going back to our basic prediction, we're left with Aston Villa, Tottenham, Brighton, West Ham and Newcastle. We'll put a coin on Spurs or Villans. Our prediction: Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham in the top 6!

Premier League prediction - odds on the favorites for a place in the Top 6

• Liverpool -9000
• Arsenal -9000
• Chelsea -1100

Relegation Picks: which PL club will finish in the bottom three?

At the very bottom of the table, the fight to avoid relegation to the Championship also promises to be intense in the Premier League this season, and we're hoping for as much suspense as last year. As a reminder, the clubs ranked 18th, 19th and 20th at the end of the English championship will be relegated to the second division for the 2025-2026 season.

A surprise is far from impossible, as we saw two years ago with Leicester's descent into the Championship. With the main aim of avoiding the bottom three at all costs, a number of clubs will be affected, and we've come up with the following prediction: Ipswich Town, Southampton and Nottingham Forest among the bottom three!

Premier League Pick - relegation odds

• Southampton -850
• Ipswich -270
• Leicester -140

In addition to the numerous collective bets we have just mentioned, there is also an individual title that has a historical and particular aspect in the English Premier League: that of top scorer of the season!

• Erling Haaland (Man City)
• Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
• Richarlison (Tottenham)

A Beginner's Guide to Betting on the English Premier League

The Premier League is the top division of English soccer. This elite competition pits England's top 20 teams against each other on a home-and-away system. Initially, all clubs face each other once, and then the fixtures are played in reverse as the season progresses. In total, there are 38 matchdays in the calendar, for a total of 380 matches.

At the end of the Premier League season, the following happens: 

• The first-placed club is proclaimed champion of England and qualifies for the Champions League.
• The second, third and fourth placed clubs qualify for the group stage of the Champions League.
• The 5th placed club qualifies for the Europa League (and potentially the 6th, depending on who wins the FA Cup).
• The 6th or 7th placed club qualifies for the Europa Conference League (depending on who wins the English League Cup).
• Clubs finishing 18th, 19th and 20th are relegated to the Championship.

Consequently, the stakes are high in the English Premier League. This explains why making predictions on Premier League matches is obviously one of the most popular bets at the best bookmakers for the Premier League online by bettors every weekend.

How to Make Good Premier League Match Picks?

To make a winning Premier League prediction, you first need to have a good knowledge of the league, but you also need to use your betting skills. As specialists in the Premier League for many years, SportyTrader offers you its top tips to get your predictions right:

• Check the form of each Premier League team.
• Take into account the clubs' fixture lists
• Take note of the list of absent players in the Premier League
• Look at the psychological context of the English Premier League game
• Analyze the latest Premier League stats

These 5 tips for predicting Premier League matches are among the most important according to our betting experts, but obviously, they are not the only ones. Find out more about each of them below.

Place your EPL bets at DraftKings

Consider the form of each Premier League team

When making a pick for the Premier League, considering recent results is key. For instance, if Aston Villa plays against Brighton and has lost five games in a row while their opponents are on a winning streak, Villa will still be favorites to win at home. In this scenario, a smart bet would be to opt for the double option of a draw or a Brighton win. Choosing the in-form team is always preferable. 

To expand further on this point, you should note that relying purely on the results of the last few games is a common trap. Instead, take into a broader spectrum of stats such as the number of goals for/against, home/away form, and the total goals scored this season. Considering these points will help you make a more accurate pick. 

Take into account the clubs' calendar

The second point you should bear in mind when making tips and predictions on the Premier League, but also in general for soccer predictions: check each team's schedule before placing a bet. Let's take the example of a match between Everton and Arsenal. It's important to note that the Toffees are not playing in the Champions League, so their schedule will be much less congested than that of their opponents.

Now imagine that the Gunners have just played Manchester City in the league and Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Arteta's players are likely to suffer some wear and tear in this encounter at Goodison Park and drop points. Arsenal will start as favorites, according to the bookmakers and experts, but you have to be careful with scenarios like this.

As you may have noticed, the teams' sometimes overloaded schedules can explain certain unexpected results or certain coaching decisions. If possible, you should wait for the official constitution before placing your bet. This could save you some losses.

Check out the list of absent players in the Premier League

Going back to the previous point, it's important to know which players are absent for a given match, namely the team constitution or at least the squad. Whether due to injury, punishment, personal or disciplinary reasons, it's not uncommon for a team's key players to be absent and their unavailability can have a major impact on a club's results.

Is the captain injured? Is the first-choice goalkeeper suspended? Is the top scorer having problems in his personal life and going to miss a few matches? Check the absences carefully and don't place any big bets if you notice any significant absences.

Look at the psychological context of the Premier League match.

Thinking about the psychological side of the match you want to bet on is also very important if you want to make a more accurate prediction. Here, several factors will have to be taken into account in English soccer: be it the rivalry between the clubs, the players' and/or managers' statements before the match, a tense last encounter or a problem that has arisen, an important issue in the match...

If you're a fan of goal predictions, such as "both teams score" or an over, for example, you'll have to be wary of more pressure-packed matches (a stay-at-home clash right at the end of the season or a derby), which may be less prolific in terms of goals. And, for example, if a team is on an eight-game losing streak in a derby against their historic rivals, they may start the game with a certain complex. If you don't want to miss a beat and want to be informed, follow the advice and Premier League predictions of our experts for the main Premier League matches!

Analyze the latest Premier League stats

Finally, the fifth and last piece of advice: you should always analyze the stats of each Premier League match! Knowing the different statistics will allow you to bet more accurately and predict results like an expert in the different alternative bets (under/over, exact score, match result, side with the most goals, top scorer, etc.).

Has a team validated the "both teams score" bet in 87% of Premier League matches since the start of the 2023/2024 season? Then this could be a market to consider for the next match. This is, of course, just one example among many that you can get by analyzing the statistics. And don't hesitate to take advantage of the welcome bonuses offered by the main bookmakers on the market.

Before ending this section on our tips for making better predictions, you should know that each of our editors always takes these five points and many others into account when making each Premier League betting tip throughout the season.

Only by consulting our predictions for Premier League matches can you be sure of having the most reliable overview of the matches possible. If that's still the case for you, get into the habit of reading our predictions before every Premier League match.

What not to do with your English Premier League predictions

In order to profit as much as possible from your bets on Premier League matches, there are a few things you should avoid. Here are the main points you should avoid when making a prediction for an English Premier League match:

• Not analyzing the Premier League match
• Taking into account only a club's prestige and not its form
• Not analyzing odds 
• Betting on a Premier League team with nothing to lose
• Chasing losses
• Picking high odds for no reason
• Repeatedly betting on your favorite team

All too often, even today, many novice bettors, but also more experienced bettors, lose bets and money easily because they follow some of these bad habits. All this will have to be avoided in this new Premier League season!

Premier League Pick: Stats you need to know

If you want to get the most out of your Premier League bets, this will also require a knowledge of the English league's key statistics. Here are the most important Premier League figures, all taken from the latest edition of the Premier League (2023-2024):

• Home wins: 46%
• Draws: 22%
• Away wins: 32%
• Average goals scored: 3.28 goals per game
• +1.5 goals: 86%
• -1.5 goals: 14%
• +2.5 goals: 65%
• -2.5 goals: 35%
• +3.5 goals: 44%
• -3.5 goals: 56%
• +4.5 goals: 23%
• -4.5 goals: 77%
• "Both score: yes": 62%
• Average goals per home game: 1.80

• Most frequent score: 2-1 or 1-2 (14.5% of games)
• Quarter-hour with most goals: 76'-90' (25%)

When betting on the Premier League, it might therefore be a good idea to opt for the "Over 2.5 goals" bets, and even the Over 3.5. Other interesting bets include "both teams score".

If the odds are really interesting, the exact score 2-1 or 1-2 is also an alternative that could win you a few euros. Even if nothing is guaranteed in advance, and even less so on this type of bet. In any case, the Premier League is a very offensive championship!
