Crystal Palace v Arsenal – 2022-23 EPL Matchday 1
Anticipation is always high for the season opener, and history shows that we can expect goals. Across the last 5 seasons, there have been 20 goals scored in the first fixture – an average of 4 per match, and with only one of those fixtures recording fewer than 3 goals.
The expert community on Superbru predicts that this will be one of the highest-scoring matches in Round 1, and with results often uncertain at this time of year, We’re backing Over 2.5 Goals.
Tip – Over 2.5 Goals
Fulham v Liverpool – 2022-23 EPL Matchday 1
This looks set to be a tough start for Fulham as they return to the Premier League, and Liverpool are strong favourites to win.
However, Fulham could trouble the Liverpool defence, given they scored 106 goals in the Championship last season, 28 more than Bournemouth in 2nd.
Liverpool to win a high-scoring encounter looks a good option here.
Tip – Liverpool Win and Over 2.5
Leeds United v Wolves – 2022-23 EPL Matchday 1
This result looks difficult to predict with Leeds slight favourites, but nearly 30% of Superbru predictions are for Wolves to win.
What is clear in the data, however, is that the expert community is predicting goals for both teams. There were goals at both ends in the two fixtures between these teams last season, and it looks like a good bet here.
Tip – Both Teams to Score: Yes
Manchester United v Brighton – 2022-23 EPL Matchday 1
Brighton beat United 4-0 at home last season, but their record at Old Trafford in the Premier League is poor – they have never beaten United away from home, and have only managed one draw.
The expert community on Superbru gives United a 94% chance of winning, and the odds are relatively generous and represent great value.
Tip – Manchester United to win
Leicester City v Brentford – 2022-23 EPL Matchday 1
Leicester look great value to kick off their season with a home win. They have beaten Brentford both home and away in the last two seasons and have enjoyed a successful pre-season, which ended with a 1-0 win over Sevilla last weekend.
The expert community on Superbru gives them an 84% chance of victory, which is great value given that you can double your money.
Tip – Leicester to win
West Ham v Manchester City – 2022-23 EPL Matchday 1
City are favourites to win their opening match, but there’s not a lot of value in the odds.
Instead we can look at the goals market, and the expert community on Superbru are expecting plenty of them – this is predicted to be the highest-scoring fixture of Round 1, with Erling Haaland set to make his Premier League debut.
Tip – Over 2.5 Goals
