Individual Match Betting
Hundreds of match bets are available for individual match betting. For more detailed information please visit our football betting odds explained page.
Some interesting bets we found are:
Southampton vs Swansea
Swansea are 5/1 to win, 14-1 to win 1-0, 28/1 to win 2-0 and 150/1 to in 4-2.
It’s the first game of the season and so anything can happen. No team is fresh and each team starts wanting a win, in this sense teams are always more equal on the first day than any other day so we see value in this fixture.
You could do for example: 3 points on 1-0 and 2 points on 2-0 Southampton and 1 point on Swansea (for insurance and hope they don’t draw!
Watford vs Liverpool
Watford to beat Liverpool 1-0 @ 14/1 is not bad when Watford beat Liverpool twice last season - once in the FA CUP and once in the league!

Individual Performance Betting

For those of you interested in “Debut” goal bets:
Lukaku to score first (or last) and United win 3-0 is 22/1
Solah (Liverpool vs Watford) to get a hat-trick is 50/1.
Technically not a “debut” but… Rooney to score for Everton on his return at any time is 6/4, a hat-trick is 50/1
