Everyone and their mother knows that the first football games of the season can spell what kind of season they will have until the January transfer window.
Three of these clubs had a terrible start to their seasons and will be trying to turn the odds of betting websites in their favour. A win here will make football betting a lot easier for their avid supporters.
Southampton vs West Ham United (August 19, 22:00 GMT+8)
West Ham were the scapegoats that helped Romelu Lukaku make a statement to the rest of the league. It was a horrible outing that Slaven Bilic and the rest of the squad would more than like to forget.
Their upcoming match against Southampton is still away from home, upping the match’s difficulty a notch. The Hammers need to sort out their creases soon or they might suffer another unfavourable result against the Saints.
Thankfully for them, the Saints had an uneventful outing against Swansea City. I predict goals would not come until well into the second half, so my first tip is a 🌟🌟🌟 punt on West Ham First Half Asian Handicap +0.25 @ 1.97.
Liverpool vs Crystal Palace (August 19, 22:00 GMT+8)
It’s pretty hard being a Crystal Palace fan these days. There’s no certainty in style, with managers coming and going like the seasons. Their past few seasons at the top of English football have been nothing short of shaky; their first game this year was an embarrassing rout against a newly promoted side.
Things aren’t looking any better for them as they will face Liverpool. Frank de Boer can only hope that the Reds’ dramatic collapse during their opener against Watford happens again when they visit Anfield.
I don’t think the Eagles can manage to pull off an upset, but they should be able to only lose by a single goal. Punters should look at Palace’s Asian Handicap odds of +1.25 @ 2.14 for a 🌟🌟 bet.
Huddersfield Town vs Newcastle United (August 20, 20:30 GMT+8)
Huddersfield shocked many after beating Crystal Palace 3-0 at Selhurst Park. The Terriers hope to continue their fantastic run by beating an ex-Championship rival in Newcastle United.
The Toons had a pitch-black start to their season after losing 2-0 to Tottenham at home. They split their season series in the Championship against this club, making this a tight contest for everyone.
The key player for both clubs is Steve Mounie. The former Montpellier forward introduced himself to the English crowd by smashing two goals into the Palace net. His performance will greatly affect how both clubs perform in this duel.
This can honestly go either way, but I will give the advantage to the hosts. Their hot start and fiery attacks should prove too much for the visitors. My final tip is another 🌟🌟 bet for Huddersfield 1×2 @ 2.40.
