Premier League - Round 8 - Score Predictions & Best Bets

The Premier League reaches Matchweek 8 and the intensity is growing. Clubs are starting to settle into rhythm, but surprises still happen. Below are the fixtures for Week 8, my predictions, and suggested bets.

Brighton vs Newcastle

Brighton are solid at home and pressure Newcastle to attack. Newcastle might try to control the match but could be vulnerable on transitions.

Predicted score: Brighton 1 to 2 Newcastle

Best bet: Newcastle to win + Both teams to score

Burnley vs Leeds

Burnley have struggled to break teams down, while Leeds can be dangerous in transitions but also inconsistent. This may lean toward the away side.

Predicted score: Burnley 1 to 2 Leeds

Best bet: Leeds to win + Over 2.5 goals

Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth

This should be competitive. Palace at home will try to dominate wide areas; Bournemouth may counter with pace. Goals from both sides are likely.

Predicted score: Crystal Palace 2 to 1 Bournemouth

Best bet: Both teams to score

Fulham vs Arsenal

Arsenal should be favorites, but Fulham at home can be tough. Expect Arsenal to push, but Fulham may get on the scoresheet.

Predicted score: Fulham 1 to 2 Arsenal

Best bet: Arsenal to win + Both teams to score

Liverpool vs Manchester United

A big marquee fixture. Liverpool at Anfield often have the edge, but United will fight for control. Expect an open, tactical game.

Predicted score: Liverpool 2 to 1 Manchester United

Best bet: Liverpool to win + Over 2.5 goals

Manchester City vs Everton

City should dominate. Everton might offer resistance, maybe get a goal, but likely overwhelmed by City’s firepower.

Predicted score: Man City 3 to 0 Everton

Best bet: Man City to win to nil

Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea

Forest have been inconsistent, while Chelsea may still be trying to find form. Expect a tight, nervy match where Chelsea’s quality likely tells.

Predicted score: Nottingham Forest 0 to 1 Chelsea

Best bet: Chelsea to win to nil

Sunderland vs Wolves

A mid-table battle. Sunderland at home might edge it, but Wolves are capable of scoring.

Predicted score: Sunderland 1 to 1 Wolves

Best bet: Both teams to score

Tottenham vs Aston Villa

Spurs should press and dominate, but Villa have firepower and may threaten. A close, attacking game expected.

Predicted score: Tottenham 2 to 1 Aston Villa

Best bet: Tottenham to win + Over 2.5 goals

West Ham vs Brentford

West Ham at home should have the edge, but Brentford are organized and could keep things tight.

Predicted score: West Ham 2 to 1 Brentford

Best bet: West Ham to win + Both teams to score

Final Thoughts

Week 8 delivers a mix of solid favorites and potential upsets. City, Arsenal, and Chelsea look dependable, but fixtures like Palace vs Bournemouth and West Ham vs Brentford could bring surprises. Watch out for both teams to score and win to nil bets, they might be the smartest plays this weekend.
