Premier League Betting Tips & Predictions

How to Read an OLBG Premier League Tip

Alongside each match, you'll see specific betting tips from our knowledgeable Premier League tipsters, with the selection odds shown next to an overall confidence rating for every EPL tip.

The confidence % looks at the total number of tips placed on the relevant market. For the Full Time Result market, for example, it reflects the split of picks across home, away and draw selections.

The Value Rating, shown as 1 to 5 stars, then flags where tipster confidence looks high relative to the odds, pointing to a possible value bet.

Our tipsters cover a wide selection of markets, including 1X2, over/under goals (Total Goals), both teams to score (BTTS), First Goalscorer, Correct Score and many more.

Some are specialists in particular markets, having studied the stats and trends closely, so the research is already done before they post their tips.

Click on any EPL match above to dig deeper, where you'll see all the selections placed across the various betting markets.

At the top of each match page is a percentage breakdown of the most popular Full Time Result tip. You'll also find the Best Tipster's Tip: the selection from the tipster with the best football profit over the last 12 months.

You can also check a tipster's profitability before deciding to follow their tip, analysing their returns over the last seven days, thirty days and the full year, plus their consistency at finding winners.

How to Win from Betting the EPL

As well as tips for today's and upcoming matches, our tipsters share in-depth analysis explaining the reasoning behind their selections, so you can understand why a bet has been made before following it.

Our experts also cover the latest transfers, injuries and tactical changes, weighing up how each of these affects their EPL predictions. For the latest developments around the league, our Sports News section keeps you up to date with stories that may not yet have made it into the blogs.

The Football Betting Blogs area is packed with in-depth statistical articles to help you spot the trends and angles worth watching. Topics range from building a betting approach to more technical methods, such as constructing tissues (working out the fair odds for each match) and using Poisson Distribution to sharpen your predictions.

Some cover angles that aren't widely used when forming a view, such as Which Premier League Team Travels The Most, which can affect a side's performance in a given match and across the season.

We also cover the manager merry-go-round extensively, with articles on every club plus a look at the Next Premier League Manager To Be Sacked odds.

The 'new manager bounce' often lifts a team in its first game under a new boss, a factor any sharp tipster will weigh before making a call.

Which Bookies Offer the Best Odds

When you find a tip you like on our predictions page, click 'add' to send it to your betslip. Add as many selections as you wish, then, whether you're betting singles or an accumulator, use the odds comparison table at the top of the page to see which bookie is offering the best price for your EPL bets.

Our Best Football Bookmakers article looks at the odds offered by all the top UK bookmakers to see which regularly come out best on the Premier League.

Our bet365 review rates it as one of the strongest football betting sites, with competitive prices across the Premier League and a wide range of markets on every match.

Another option growing in popularity among football bettors is the Request A Bet, or Bet Builder, which lets you combine several outcomes from a single match into a single bet. You might back a player to be booked or sent off, to rack up shots on target, or to score with a header or free-kick, all in the same selection. Our own OLBG Bet Builder makes it easy to put these together and adds an extra dimension to watching a game live.

It's also worth keeping an eye on our free bets and promotions pages, as well as the offers listed beside the matches on-site and in our app. Bookies regularly run enhanced odds and specials on their EPL markets, so a firm you don't currently bet with may be worth a look.

History of the League

The English Premier League is the top tier of English football, made up of 20 clubs who each play 38 games home and away across a season running from August to May.

The three clubs finishing bottom are relegated to the Championship, replaced by that division's top two and the winner of the Championship playoffs.

The top four qualify for the UEFA Champions League. In recent seasons, England has often earned a fifth place through UEFA's coefficient-based European Performance Spot, awarded when English clubs collectively perform well in Europe the previous season, though it's reassessed each year rather than guaranteed.

A Europa League place goes to the next-highest finisher plus the FA Cup winner, while the Carabao Cup winner enters the Conference League. Cup and European-trophy winners who have already qualified through the league push these places one spot further down the table.

More bets are placed on the EPL than any other league in the world, with over 200 live markets for every match. The most popular are the 1X2, over/under 2.5 goals and correct score markets, and with so much custom at stake, bookies compete hard to offer the best prices.

Those prices vary widely from one firm to the next, which can make a real difference to your returns, especially on accumulator bets. You can build your own football accas with the My Acca tool, using the best free daily tips from OLBG's top-performing football tipsters.

Outright markets run throughout the season too, and the relegation battle often generates as much betting interest as the title race, if not more.

Since its inception in 1992, and up to the 2025-26 season, 51 clubs have played in the Premier League, with Luton the most recent to make their debut in the 2023-24 season. Only six have been ever-present across every campaign: Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

EPL Corner Statistics

Below you can find the corner statistics for the last five seasons of the EPL. It is no surprise to see the top clubs topping the lists.

Past Winners of the Premier League

Manchester United dominated the Premier League in the early years and won the last of their 13 titles in the 2012-13 season, whilst Manchester City has won four of the last six titles.

Liverpool finished runners-up in the 2018-19 season with 97 points, a total which would have won the Premier League every season from inception in 1992-93 through to the 2016-17 season.

Last Ten Premier League Champions

How many times each team has won the Title?

Seven different clubs have won the title since the inception of the Premier League in the early 1990s; Liverpool are the most recent club to join the winners' list.

Manchester United lead the way with thirteen titles to their name; they are some five titles clear of the local rivals Manchester City, who are on eight wins. Having said that, United's last title was way back in 2013, as they have struggled to replicate the challenge since Sir Alex left.

The two London clubs have combined for nine titles, five of those for Chelsea and four for Arsenal, who ended their long wait in the 2025-26 season, having last won it in 2004. Liverpool then has two titles, which came in 2020 and 2025.

Then it is a single title to Blackburn, who won their title in the 3rd season of the Premier League, and who can forget Leicester's title win in 2016 when they were priced up by the bookies at 5000/1 before the start of the season.
