Premier League Betting Picks and Prop Bets for Matchweek 2

Wolves at Bournemouth

Bournemouth Moneyline (-130)

Prior to Matchweek 1, I was worried about Wolves this season, pegging their EPL relegation odds as one of my favorite futures bets.

Well, nothing I saw from Wolves in a 4-0 loss at home to Manchester City changed my thoughts. With the caveat that Manchester City are very good in attack, Wolves were lifeless going forward, generating only 0.6 expected goals (xG), per FBRef's xG model, and it's not like this City bunch are known for being airtight defensively.

This week, Wolves have a tough -- and far -- road trip to Bournemouth.

Despite losing 4-2 at Anfield on opening night, Bournemouth mostly impressed, going to the home of the holders and drawing 2-2 until the latter stages. The Cherries, despite losing a ton in defense this summer, look like they'll be formidable again, and this is a welcoming home opener for them.

Bournemouth should control possession and create chances in this 10 a.m. ET Saturday match.

Leeds at Arsenal

Bukayo Saka Anytime Goalscorer (+140)

Arsenal underwhelmed -- especially in attack -- last weekend in spite of a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford as the Gunners lost the xG battle 1.5-1.3 to Manchester United. They're in a dream bounce-back spot this week.

Just about everything points toward Arsenal rolling over Leeds. Not only are Leeds a promoted side that will be on the road Saturday against one of the EPL's elite, Leeds have the rest disadvantage as they played last Monday night in the final match of the opening week.

There's a reason the Gunners are -390 moneyline favorites and are -310 to score at least two goals.

Saka can get in on the fun.

Even in a down year last campaign, he still racked up a combined 16 goals plus assists. He usually takes penalties -- I don't know if that'll change with the addition of Viktor Gyökeres -- and also handles some free kicks.

In a match where Arsenal figure to see a ton of the ball and generate loads of chances, I like these +140 odds on Saka to open his 2025-26 goal account.
