Arsenal vs Chelsea Betting Predictions and Tips

Straight wins

Manchester United to beat Southampton

Although we are just starting the season, Manchester United have already shown the stuff they are made with as they crushed their opponent in their opening match of this season’s English Premier League. Manchester United ran riot in their last match as they cruised past Leeds in fine style, with a wide margin of 5 goals to 1. This was only a warning to all other teams and as such, should be wary of the dead deadly Red Devils this season. One of the teams that should be genuinely scared is Southampton who struggled terribly against Everton and ended being trashed 3-1. Going by the books, we expect another Manchester United masterclass in this coming fixture. Bet9ja has 1.60, Bet365 has 1.60, and 1xbet has 1.65.

The opening weekend of the new football season hit with a bang and we continue with another week that promises a lot as well. It could be difficult to exactly predict the outcome of games in the early stages of the season, but we have you covered. Taking all of the relevant data into account, we bring you the best likely betting tips and predictions to go with as always.

Lyon to beat Clermont

Lyon suffered an unexpected overwhelming defeat and a draw from underdogs Angers and Brest in their first 2 matches of this Ligue 1 season. If they are to turn the tides around, which we are hoping and positive that they will, they have to start turning it around early into the season. This should start with a victory against Clermont, to send a message across that their last defeat doesn’t at all insinuate that they are less of a team.  Clermont on the other hand enjoyed a smooth ride of victory over Troyes and Bordeaux in their opening matches. Having lost 5 points out of a possible 6, Lyon will be going all out to claim all 3 points in this match. Although we reckon that it might be a tough match, we see Lyon coming out victorious. Bet9ja has 1.60, Bet365 has 1.61, and 1xbet has 1.65.

Juventus to beat Udinese

Juventus failed to win the Serie A title for the first time in 10 years and they must be gutted about their streak ending. They will be all out to reclaim what seemed pretty much their birthright this season. This campaign starts with a fixture against Udinese and Juventus seems to be up to the task as they have a track record of clinching victory in matches against Udinese. In their last 5 encounters together, Juventus has come out victorious in 4. We believe this fixture would not pose much of a problem or be an obstacle in the way of Juventus starting their 2021/2022 campaign on an excellent start. A victory for the Old Lady is most likely in this fixture. Bet9ja has 1.48, Bet365 has 1.50, and 1xbet has 1.53.

Real Madrid to beat Levante

Real Madrid came agonizingly close to winning the La Liga title last season and only came second to Atletico Madrid with just 2 points. One of the reasons why this happened was simply because Real Madrid didn’t strive hard enough to pick up maximum points in matches against the underdogs last season. They are out to correct this mistake of theirs as they have already started this season’s campaign with a whopping victory of 4-1 over Alaves. If they are to win La Liga this season, they have to turn up and clinch victory in matches such as this coming fixture against a Levante team that struggled to pick a point against Cadiz in their opening match. Bet9ja has 1.65, Bet365 has 1.65, and 1xbet has 1.67.

Atletico Madrid to beat Elche

The current holders of the La Liga title have already started their campaign to retain their championship as they were off to a fine start with a 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo in their opening match of the 2021/2022 La Liga season. Elche failed to pick up all maximum 3 points in their opening match against Atletico Bilbao as the match ended in a stalemate. Atletico Madrid has a record of 4 victories out of 5 matches in their last encounters against Elche. We are hoping that their run of fine form continues and they will end up winning this coming La Liga fixture against Elche. Bet9ja has 1.21, Bet365 has 1.25, and 1xbet has 1.28.

Over 2.5 goals

Twente vs Ajax
In their past 10 meetings, this fixture has produced at least 3 goals in every match 9 times and failed to do so only once and that was in 2016. Since 2016, they have played 7 times consecutively and each match ended in a result with at the very least, 3 goals. Ajax has also been on a roll of high-goal scoring matches. Their last 4 matches ended as a result of 4 or more goals being scored. Everything indicates that this coming fixture will witness 3 or more goals. Bet9ja has 1.33, Bet365 has 1.35, and 1xbet has 1.36.

Napoli vs Venezia

Napoli enjoyed a smooth ride in all of their Club Friendlies in preparation for this new Serie A season and will be looking to continue with this fine run as they go into their opening fixture against newly-promoted Venezia. Napoli will look to run riot in this fixture as their opponent will still be looking to find their feet in the Serie A this season. We expect an influx of goals in this match. Bet9ja has 1.40, Bet365 has 1.43, and 1xbet has 1.42.

Wolves vs Tottenham

Tottenham started their season with a surprise victory over league holders; Manchester City. This will serve as a morale booster for them and coupled with the fact that their talisman; Harry Kane, a prolific goals scorer who has proven himself time and time again in the Premier League might be featuring in the match, having missed their opening match last week. Going by this and also their antecedents in this fixture in past times indicate that this match will have lots of goals in it. Bet9ja has 2.20, Bet365 has 2.21, and 1xbet has 2.31.

Bayern Munich vs Koln

Both Bayern Munich and Koln started their season with high scoring victories against their opponents. They both scored 3 goals in their last match. Bayern’s victory coming from their fixture against Dortmund in the German Super Cup while Koln’s was against Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga. This proves that both teams are capable of scoring a high number of goals and this can be further proven by their past meetings. Out of their last 6 encounters, there has been nothing short of 3 goals in each of those matches. This one doesn’t look like it will be any different.  Bet9ja has 1.26, Bet365 has 1.28, and 1xbet has 1.28.

Roma vs Fiorentina

This game has always been known to produce lots of goals and they very rarely fail to deliver on goal scoring markets. In their last 10 encounters together, they have only failed to score at least 3 goals in just 3 matches. AS Roma’s last 4 matches have also ended in results with 3 or more goals. Fiorentina similarly has been enjoying high goal-scoring victories such as 9-0, 7-1 victories in their Club Friendlies. We are expecting a high goal-scoring contest again in this Serie A fixture. Bet9ja has 1.63, Bet365 has 1.65, and 1xbet has 1.76.

Anytime Goalscorer

Son
In the absence of Harry Kane in their last match, Son rose to the difficult task of scoring the lone goal in Tottenham’s opening match against the dreaded Manchester city. Over the years, Son has proven to be a quality player who can score goals whenever he is presented with the opportunity. We expect him to prove himself yet again in their next fixture against Wolves. Bet9ja has 2.75, Bet365 has 3.00, and 1xbet has 3.00.

Lewandowski
Robert Lewandowski is arguably the best striker in the world of football currently and he doesn’t look like he is stopping anytime soon. Having scored a whooping sum of 41 goals in just 29 appearances for Bayern Munich last season in the Bundesliga, Lewandowski has already started his goal-scoring fest this season as he found himself on the scoresheet in their opener against Borussia Monchengladbach. He also scored a goal in the Super cup final against Borussia Dortmund. Lewandowski doesn’t know how to stop scoring and we certainly hope he doesn’t, going into this next fixture against Koln. Bet9ja has 1.30, Bet365 has 1.25, and 1xbet has 1.40.

Osimhen
Victor Osimhen is certainly one to look out for in this season’s Serie A. Having scored 10 goals in 24 appearances in his debut season, it’s only logical to expect a much better performance from him this season and we hope he starts the season with a banger.  Bet9ja has 1.77, Bet365 has 1.44, and 1xbet has 1.75.

Benzema
Benzema had an excellent season for Real Madrid last season but sadly his efforts couldn’t secure them the La Liga title. He will be looking to recreate his excellent performance again this season. He has already started because he managed to find himself on the scoresheet twice in their opening match against Alaves. We are certain he will do so again against Levante and for the rest of the season. Bet9ja has 1.65, Bet365 has 1.80, and 1xbet has 1.90.

Fernandes
Not only did Bruno Fernandes surprised everyone with his excellent performance last season which was his debut season by scoring 18 goals and 12 assists, therefore, making him the highest goal-scoring midfielder in the league last season. He has already started another excellent campaign this season as he helped Manchester United to their opening victory against Leeds with a perfect hat-trick. If this is not an indication that Bruno is bound to score lots of goals this season, this match against Southampton included, then we don’t know what else is. Bet9ja has 2.25, Bet365 has 2.30, and 1xbet has 2.40.
