The Premier League is the most popular and best football league in the world. However it is also one of the most difficult leagues to predict and profit from on a consistent basis.

The competition here is something else.

The odds are very high and bookmakers here try to price their matches with very extreme precision.

Some punters find it difficult to make profit consistently when betting on Premier League games.

Most times they judge the Premier League with what is attainable in other leagues.

The truth is that the Premier League is unique and quite unpredictable when compared to other major European leagues.

Mentorspredict takes out time to deeply analyze before predicting Premier League games.

We are going to show you some of the strategies that we use.

If you apply these same strategies, you are definitely not going to regret it.

Why is Premier League Betting So Challenging?

The Premier League comes with so many difficulties that you hardly see in other European leagues.

There is extreme competition here.

Any team can beat any team on their own day here.

The media coverage here is massive.

What this means is that bookmakers try to price matches perfectly.

There is no margin for errors from them.

There is no winter breaks here which creates fixture congestion and a lot of rotation.

Because of how unpredictable the league is, even favorites are not reliable.

Because of these factors we just mentioned, some of the simple strategies that you use in La Liga or Serie A will end up failing in the Premier League.

Due to this, mentorspredict was forced to develop some Premier League specific strategies that put into consideration all the characteristics of the Premier League.

The Myth of Premier League Favorites

Unlike what we see in other leagues where teams are always favorite, it is a different game altogether here.

Premier League favorites are way less reliable than you realize.

Top teams including title favorites drop points consistently against midtable and bottom teams.

Home advantage here is less significant than you think.

There is one hell of a form swing in the Premier League.

A team can move from winning 5 in a row to losing 3 in a row within the shortest time possible.

Some heavy favorites with around 1.20, 1.30 lose around 15, 20% of the time which is not so with other leagues.

So you see, if you decide to bet blindly here or stake on a favor that has poor odds, you are inevitably setting yourself up for failure.

Home Advantage Has Declined

The Premier League has one of the weakest home advantage of all European leagues and it has continued to decline in recent years.

Home teams here win only about 40, 42% of their games which is low especially if you compare it to the 45, 50% in other leagues.

Away teams in the Premier League have no respect for big stadiums.

They come there with the intent of going for the win.

The top teams win and lose away just as much as they do at home.

So our advice is that you do not make the mistake of favoring the home side automatically.

Instead make sure that you analyze each game one after the other and do not rely on your own assumptions or home advantage before betting.

Best Betting Markets for Premier League

There are some certain markets that give you better values than others in Premier League betting.

Some of the top markets we will recommend is the BTTS because both teams usually score in 52, 55% of matches in the Premier League.

The Asian Handicap is another good option for the English Premier League.

Then you look at over 2.5 goals because it hits 50, 53% depending on teams that are playing.

Draws also happen here.

We have seen it happen in 26, 28% of games and it is often undervalued.

Then correct scores like 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 0 are also common occurrences.

What About the Big Six Teams?

The traditional Big Six in the English Premier League, Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham, needs very special analysis.

Obviously these teams have very good squads.

However they usually face pressure and fixture congestions throughout the season.

Casual fans usually over bet on them and this makes the odds even worse.

For cup competitions they usually rotate heavily.

Whenever they meet smaller sides who raise their games, they usually underperform.

Our advice is that you never bet on Big Six teams whenever they have odds that are below 1.30.

The risk is too much even though they are favorites.

Reason why mentorspredict usually go for value betting against the Big Six teams instead of backing them with very poor odds.

Fixture Congestion Impact

The Premier League has a very intense schedule.

This helps to create more rotations and fatigue than you can see in other leagues.

Every season Premier League sides play.

38 league matches plus FA Cup, League Cup, and European competitions.

December and April usually have fixture congestion with lots of midweek games.

Most top teams are forced to rotate around 4, 5 players between matches.

So we always advise that you check fixtures schedule before playing because teams that are playing their third match in 8 days are definitely going to be vulnerable irrespective of the quality of the team.

Final Thoughts

If you want to succeed in Premier League betting, you will need to apply different strategies from what you are already used to.

Always focus more on BTTS and Asian handicap markets.

Scrutinize very well before you bet on heavy favorites.

Always ensure that you check fixture congestions carefully before betting.
