English Premier League Betting Odds, Analysis for Matchweek 2 Games | MyBookie EPL Preview
English Premier League Games: Matchweek 2 | Friday, August 18th – Monday, August 21st, 2023
Liverpool vs AFC Bournemouth
Premier Odds: Liverpool -1.5 -160 vs Bournemouth +1.5 +125
Saturday, August 19 at 10:00 am ET | Matchweek 2
Anfield, Liverpool, England
The road dog played well in their first game. Bournemouth hosted West Ham United. Although Bournemouth didn’t get the win, they did force a 1-1 draw.
Liverpool yielded possession to Chelsea 65% to 35% but, somehow, Pool managed a way to force a draw. On Saturday, the Reds should have an easier time versus Bournemouth. However, the payout makes Pool’s handicap unplayable. Back the dog at +1.5 and an above even money payout.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Premier Odds: Wolverhampton Wanderers +290 vs Brighton & Hove Albion -114
Saturday, August 19 at 10:00 am ET | Matchweek 2
Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton, England
Although Wolverhampton lost their first match of the new Premier League Season, the Wanderers only fell by a goal. Not only that, but the game happened against Man United at Old Trafford. So Wolverhampton played well.
Brighton & Hove dusted English League Championship promoted squad Luton Town 4-1 in their first match of the season. Beating Wolverhampton will be a more difficult task. But Brighton has the look of one of the EPL’s better teams. Going with the chalk makes sense.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United
Premier Odds: Tottenham Hotspur +180 vs Manchester United +137
Saturday, August 19 at 12:30 pm ET | Matchweek 2
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, England
Tottenham struggled in their first match, drawing 2-2 versus Brentford. The Hotspur gave up 2 goals versus a team they should have handled.
United beat Wolverhampton 1-0. The workmanlike victory in Matchweek 1 makes Man U the play in this. Give the Red Devils the nod to get it done.

Manchester City vs Newcastle United
Premier Odds: Manchester City -154 vs Newcastle United +400
Saturday, August 19 at 3:00 pm ET | Matchweek 2
Etihad Stadium, Manchester, England
The Sky Blues didn’t play great in their 1-1 match versus Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup. But before tackling the Europa League winner, City blasted Burnley 3-0 in their first Premier League match.
On Saturday, the Citizens face a talented Newcastle side. The +400 underdog in this demolished Aston Villa 5-1 in their first match. 13-of-17 Newcastle shots versus Aston were on target. The road team may not win, but the odds make Newcastle an overlay. So taking a shot makes sense.

Aston Villa vs Everton
Premier Odds: Aston Villa -147 vs Everton +400
Sunday, August 20 at 9:00 am ET | Matchweek 2
Villa Park, Birmingham, England
Both teams lost their first match. Everton’s loss to Fulham was by a single goal.
But Aston played the much better team in Newcastle. This happens on AV’s pitch. So Aston should bounce back with a solid regulation victory.

West Ham United vs Chelsea
Premier Odds: West Ham United +205 vs Chelsea -109
Sunday, August 20 at 11:30 am ET | Matchweek 2
London Stadium, London, England
The Blues’ 1-1 draw against Liverpool far outweighs West Ham’s 1-1 draw versus Bournemouth. For sure, West Ham will play a decent match.
The odds on Chelsea, though, makes the road chalk more than playable. Laying -109 on the Blues is the play.
