With the upcoming 2024 to 2025 English Premier League season soon to start on August 16, 2024, it’s time to get your betting strategies in order! With 380 upcoming fixtures throughout the entirety of this EPL season, there are many opportunities to engage in soccer betting to wager on the best teams and players in the games.
Whether you bet on a specific team you think will win, a correct score bet, whether both teams will score or not, or even place a player prop bet, there are many ways to enjoy the English Premier League games while possibly winning a bet or two. Know that not every bet will net you a win, but just remember to have fun with it!
Futures Betting
While futures betting may not be as effective as an in-play betting strategy, it’s still a popular way to bet on various outlets of English Premier League happenings. You can bet on the winner of an upcoming fixture before it begins, predict who will be championship winner, or even place a bet on which player will be considered the MVP of the year.
For example, Manchester United and Fulham will face off during the first fixture of the 2024 to 2025 season on August 16, 2024. If you think Manchester United will win this match, you can place a futures bet on this possible occurrence. For futures bets on championship winners and MVP of the year, it’s best to place them as close to the end of the season as possible for the best results.
Over/Under Goal Bets
Over/under goals betting is another way that English Premier League spectators like to wager. Because of the nature of soccer, bettors like to use 2.5 as a central number for whether a specific team will score more or less than that number in goals.
The Ipswich versus Liverpool match is occurring on August 17, 2024. If you believe that Liverpool will score more than 2.5 goals, then you will win your bet if the team scores at least 3 or more goals. Perhaps you believe that Ipswich will score below 2.5 goals. Hence, if the team scores 2 goals or lower, you will win the bet.
First Goalscorer Betting
Placing a first goalscorer bet is best if there is a key striker playing on one of the teams in which you are betting on during a fixture. As long as the designated player that you chose as the first goalscorer for your bet makes the first goal of the game, then you will win your bet. If another person makes the first goal or the teams do not score any goals at all, your bet will lose.
Achieve the best results with first goalscorer betting by evaluating historical data. Has this player been known to be a first goalscorer in the past? Has their striking abilities proved them able to eventually become a first goalscorer if they are a rookie just transferred to an English Premier League team? Conduct research accordingly to make an informed betting decision.
Correct Score Betting
Betting on the correct final score of a match is a little more difficult than placing over/under goals bets. However, correct score betting is best for veterans in the wagering game that are masters of evaluating historical data, player abilities, and evaluating the conditions of the field to determine the final correct score. For example, the Brentford versus Crystal Palace fixture will take place on August 18, 2024. If you predict that the score will end as 2-1 in favor of Brentford, then your bet will win.
