English Premier League Multi bet of the Weekend | Matchweek 1

The Premier League is back! To help you celebrate the start of the 2024/25 EPL season, our soccer betting experts have prepared a free EPL multibet for Matchweek 1.  
 
Our picks are Arsenal -1.5 versus Wolves, UNDER 2.5 Goals in Everton vs. Brighton, and Man City to WIN at Chelsea.  

August  18, 12:00 AM, Emirates Stadium

Arsenal vs. Wolves is one of the most one-sided fixtures in recent Premier League history. The Gunners have won six straight matches against Wolves. Arsenal have conceded just one goal in their last four matches against Wolves.  

Wolves sold their best defender (Max Kilman) and best attacker (Pedro Neto) this offseason. Arsenal, meanwhile, have invested in a left back, improving their already league-best defence.  

The Gunners should have no problem continuing their winning streak against Wolves. Our first pick for our EPL Matchweek 1 multibet is Arsenal -1.5 vs. Wolves @$1.60 from PlayUp.  

August 18, 10:00 AM, Goodison Park 

Brighton’s new 31-year-old manager Fabian Hürzeler will see what the Premier League is all about on Sunday against Sean Dyche’s Everton side. The Toffees have been tricky opponents for Brighton in recent years. The Seagulls have not beaten Everton since Dyche took over in January 2023.  

Most betting sites seem to think there will be goals in this one. We’re not so sure. Injuries have stopped Brighton’s main first team attackers from playing together this preseason. Everton won’t do much going forward either as Dyche will be happy to let Brighton dominate possession.  

We think both Everton and Brighton will have a tough time scoring, so our pick is UNDER 2.5 Goals @$2.02.

August 19, 1:30 AM, Stamford Bridge

One of the biggest EPL betting trends last season was sportsbooks overrating Chelsea. We’re not even one week into the 2024/25 season, but it looks like the bookies are keeping up the trend from last year.  

Chelsea were dreadful in the preseason, failing to win any of their five matches against any European opposition. More importantly than the score, the Blues’ back line was a complete mess. They couldn’t play out of the back and were constantly making mistakes tracking runners. Manchester City will punish those mistakes.  

Our final pick is Manchester City to WIN against Chelsea @$1.83.
