The 2025/26 Premier League season kicks off with Liverpool looking to defend their second Premier League title, after they finished as winners last season with a comfortable four games to spare. After finishing in second place, Arsenal will be looking to again secure Champions League qualification – and see if they're able to live up to last season's expected odds of taking down Liverpool!
Manchester City put on a solid performance but came third – so they'll be keen to improve and get back to the top of the table – while Chelsea, who came fourth and lifted the Europa Conference League, will be looking for similar results – albeit a slightly higher finish. Spurs will also be one of the leading contenders when it comes to betting on Europa League this season.
With all of last season's newly-promoted clubs, including Ipswich, Leicester, and Southampton, suffering relegation, this year's newcomers will be keen to break that pattern – but, as always, it goes to show just how unpredictable Premier League betting can be!
Short History
The Premier League, as it's known today, was formed in 1992 after a big shake-up in the English game. Running from August to May, it features 20 teams with qualifications for the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League, which are available through finishing positions.
Relegation betting is another active area, with three teams dropping to the Championship at the end of the season. Manchester United hold the record for the most EPL titles.
Great Premier League Moments
Arguably, the greatest ever EPL moment was Leicester City's title in 2016 from pre-season 500/1 Premier League winner
odds. It was a staggering achievement, beating off established competition, as the Foxes became just the seventh club to win the crown.
Arsenal's astonishing ‘Invincibles’ 2003/04 set a new standard, while Manchester City's fourth successive crown in 2024 was another significant milestone in the league. The 2011/12 title fight between Man City and Man Utd was brilliant, with City dramatically winning the title over their rivals by goal difference only. City also became the first team to earn 100 points in the EPL during the 2017/18 campaign.
Popular Football Betting Markets
For Premier League odds, there are plenty of different markets and bet types to explore, with Betsson providing access to exciting options. Here are some of the most common markets:
- Match Winner: The most popular way to bet Premier League matches. Here, you simply choose the home team, away team, or draw – and hope your selection wins.
- Total Goals (Over/Under): One of the most common markets, especially with Premier League odds. This market focuses on the total number of goals in a game. The standard line is 2.5, with Over (3+) or Under (0-2) options.
- Both Teams to Score (BTTS): This is a very simple yes/no market that revolves around whether both sides will score. If you bet on this market and both teams score at any time, you win.
- Anytime Goalscorer: With this wager, you simply need to choose a player – and hope they score a goal at any point during the match. Strikers are the common picks here, but choosing midfielders or defenders often offers value odds Premier League punters want!
- Correct Score: This market requires you to predict the exact final scoreline. It's one of the hardest to guess correctly, but it offers some of the biggest payout potential.
- Half Time/Full Time: Here, you back a team to be winning at half-time and/or full-time. By combining both outcomes, you can enjoy longer odds than a regular win bet.
- Double Chance: This allows you to cover two results in one bet; for example, Home Win or Draw. It's one of the safer ways when betting Premier League if you're looking to reduce risk.
