Bournemouth vs Everton
Bournemouth head into matchday two off the back of a three-game winless run, including a devastating late 2-1 loss to Manchester City on the opening gameweek of the new English Premier League season.
Everton, meanwhile, have won each of their two competitive fixtures this term, and will, therefore, be full of confidence heading into this meeting at the Vitality Stadium, where Everton won 1-0 last time out.
Given Everton’s stronger recent form and Bournemouth still getting to grips with new manager Marco Rose, we are backing the Toffees to come out on top in this one.
Everton to win, 3.55 – 5P8PFKP
Tottenham vs Newcastle
Tottenham have scored five goals and conceded four in their first two matches of the 2026/27 season, while Newcastle have also scored five and conceded four in their opening two fixtures of the new campaign.
In addition to the high-scoring nature of matches involving these two sides at the beginning of this term, all of the last 11 English Premier League clashes between these two has delivered over 2.5 goals, and for that reason, we are backing this game to similarly deliver over 2.5 goals.
Over 2.5 goals, 1.62 – 5P8PP9M
Chelsea vs Brighton
Joao Pedro enjoyed a stunning pre-season, scoring seven goals in five appearances, and the striker continued his goalscoring form in the opening game of the new English Premier League season, opening the scoring after just 31 seconds against Fulham.
Chelsea’s attack looked particularly dangerous in that 3-2 win against Fulham, with Pedro, Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers all getting on the scoresheet and proving to be constant threats throughout the match.
Given that attacking strength combined with Pedro’s goalscoring form, we are backing the Brazilian to get on the scoresheet against his former team Brighton & Hove Albion.
Joao Pedro to score anytime, 2.50 – 5P8PVCV
Leeds United vs Brentford
Leeds United have won each of their opening two matches this season, beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 and 2-0 in the English Premier League and EFL Cup respectively, while Brentford have recorded 3-0 and 6-1 wins against Tottenham Hotspur and Birmingham City.
As both teams have started the new term in superb form, combined with each of the last three meetings and each of the last three meetings at Elland Road ending all square, we are backing this game to end in a draw.
Draw, 3.40 – 5P8Q5BF
Combined Booking Code: 5P8QBPZ, Odds: 48.88
