Soccer Betting Tips

Our most confident tips across the coming matches.

1Premier LeagueMatchweek 9Sun 1 Nov, 16:30
Liverpool v ArsenalHandicap
Liverpool +2

Liverpool +2 on the three-way line wins if Liverpool win, draw or lose by a single goal, and our predicted 0-1 lands it. An Arsenal win by exactly two is the handicap draw and loses, as does anything bigger. Arsenal have won by two once in the last ten meetings, that 3-1 in 2024, and never by more.

Newcastle United v EvertonHandicap
Everton +2

Everton +2 on the three-way handicap wins if Everton win, draw or lose by a single goal, which fits our 1-0 forecast. The risk is Newcastle winning by two or more, and a two-goal margin settles as the handicap draw. Newcastle have scored 1.2 goals per game over their last five, hardly hammering anyone.
