Premier League GW1 Preview and betting tips

It’s that time again… The WhatAcca.com Premier League GW1, a.k.a Game Week 1 Preview is now available.  We have allocated more team members this year, offering a a wider choice of betting tips and special betting advice. We hope you are ready to place your first Premier League bets, we are…….

FRIDAY 13TH AUGUST

Brentford 20:00 Arsenal

Brentford are in the Premier League and the Bees could be buzzing on Friday night for this opener against an Arsenal side who were largely erratic last season. Ivan Toney is an exciting prospect although Thomas Frank’s side are not a one-man team, with Mikel Arteta under pressure to deliver this season although the Gunners might fall short here.  WhatAcca.com recommend William Hill for Premier League betting, simlple visit them via this unique link

Betting Tip IconBEST BET: Brentford +1

SATURDAY 14TH AUGUST

Manchester United 12:30 Leeds United

We’re wary of backing the Red Devils at short odds given the limited pre-season that the majority of first-team players have had, with Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane potentially making their debuts. Marcelo Bielsa will hope that Kalvin Phillips is available and there is plenty to like about Leeds’ attacking threat so we’re backing both teams to score.

Betting Tip IconBEST BET: BTTS Yes

Burnley 15:00 Brighton & Hove Albion

Both of these teams struggled to score goals last season, with the Clarets finding the net just 33 times last season and Sean Dyche has not been able to really strengthen his squad. Similarly, Brighton are still reliant on Neal Maupay for firepower and we’re happy to back a low-scoring clash.

Betting Tip IconBEST BET: Under 2.5 Goals

Chelsea 15:00 Crystal Palace

With Eberechi Eze missing in action, there’s a huge reliance on Wilfried Zaha to make something happen for Patrick Vieira’s Palace and this could be an uncomfortable opener against a Chelsea side who are genuine title challengers with two good players in every position.

Betting Tip IconBEST BET: Chelsea win to nil

Everton 15:00 Southampton

Rafael Benitez will hope to get a tune out of Everton although things have gone stagnant at Goodison Park, while Richarlison is still missing in action and there are fitness doubts over Dominic Calvert-Lewin. While the Saints have lost Danny Ings, they have signed Adam Armstrong and they can get at least a point from this clash. Why not take a look at our other Football Acca Tips for a wider choice of alternative Premier League bets.

Betting Tip IconBEST BET: Southampton +0.5

Leicester City 15:00 Wolverhampton Wanderers

We’re big fans of Leicester and they can follow up that Community Shield win over Man City with a win against their Midlands rivals. Brendan Rodgers might be threadbare in defence although Harvey Barnes looks back to his best and the same can be said of Ricardo Pereira. Wolves are operating under Bruno Lage and might take a while to get going.

Betting Tip IconBEST BET: Leicester to win

Watford 15:00 Aston Villa

Watford will hope to hit the ground running against a Jack Grealish-less Aston Villa, although Dean Smith has been able to land Emi Buendia and Danny Ings, with both teams capable of finding the net in what should be a game featuring plenty of chances.

                 Norwich City 17:30 Liverpool

                Liverpool have Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip back, with the Reds taken to enjoy a convincing win at Carrow Road and they should be able to claim a two-goal margin of victory or bigger. Mo Salah is the most reliable source of goals and Norwich are unlikely to have any answers.

                Betting Tip IconBEST BET: Liverpool -1.5

                SUNDAY 15TH AUGUST –  Final day of the Premier League GW1

                Premier League GW1 Banner

                Newcastle United 14:00 West Ham United

                West Ham have looked impressive in pre-season, with Said Benrahma and Michail Antonio looking particularly bright for the Hammers who overcame Atalanta in the betway Cup. Newcastle won at the London Stadium in the opener last season but their opponents can get their revenge here.

                Betting Tip IconBEST BET: West Ham

                Tottenham Hotspur 16:30 Manchester City

                Tottenham might not persuade Harry Kane to play against a club he wants to join, although they have the ability to match a Manchester City side whose main players are only just returning to training. Indeed, this could be a good time for Spurs to be having this fixture, with Son Heung-Min likely to be a thorn in City’s side.

                Betting Tip IconBEST BET: Tottenham +0.5

                I've made What Acca to try and help people starting out with accumulator betting. The possibilities of these types of bets are pretty much endless, with the major attraction coming from the fact that a lot of money can be won for very little outlay. What Acca will hopefully teach you how to make more profitable accumulator bets whilst also eradicating some of the mistakes that I have made over the years.
