Premier League 2025/26: Matchday 31 Betting Tips

Premier League Matchday 31

The Premier League resumes this weekend with Matchday 31 of the 2025-26 season.

With an international break scheduled for the remainder of March, the importance levels of these games are only increased.

Arsenal, Manchester City, Wolves and Crystal Palace are not in action this weekend due the former two’s clash in Sunday’s EFL Cup final.

But we still have eight amazing fixtures to look forward to, and here are our latest sports betting picks based on NetBet’s Premier League odds.

*All odds are subject to change

Manchester United to beat Bournemouth @ 2.14

After a 2-1 loss at Newcastle, United got back on track last Sunday with a 3-1 victory over Aston Villa. The Michael Carrick effect has transformed the Red Devils’ season, and now Bournemouth are in the crosshairs. The Cherries are on the longest unbeaten run in the division, but have drawn each of the previous four – last winning at the Vitality in January. With Bruno Fernandes in red-hot form, United possess the tools to claim a big victory on the South Coast, and end a five-match winless run against Bournemouth!

Mohamed Salah to have over 0.5 shots on target vs Brighton @ 1.73

Salah’s powers in the final third have waned somewhat in recent times, though the Egyptian looked back somewhere close to his best against Galatasaray on Wednesday evening. The iconic forward scored in a 4-0 win for the Reds, and he tallied six shots on target overall. It was shades of prime Salah at Anfield, and fans will be hoping he can continue to shine at the Amex in Saturday’s early kick-off. Salah scored in Liverpool’s 3-0 FA Cup win over Brighton back in February, and the Seagulls failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five home top-flight games. So the price on offer for just one Salah SOT is too good to pass up.

Chelsea to beat Everton @ 2.08

Chelsea need a huge performance against Everton this weekend after three consecutive losses. A 1-0 home defeat to Newcastle in the Premier League was sandwiched between two hammerings by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. Now, were this the Everton of old, we would be backing the Toffees to inflict more misery on the Blues. But this season at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium, Everton’s home form has dropped off a cliff, winning just five of 15 matches thus far. At better than evens, backing Liam Rosenior’s men to silence their critics could be a very profitable move. And if you need more convincing after recent results, remember that the Blues possess the second-best away record in the division ahead of Matchday 31!

Newcastle vs Sunderland: Anytime goalscorer – Anthony Gordon @ 2.88

The Tyne-Wear derby has not come at the best of times for Newcastle following their 7-2 hammering at Barcelona on Wednesday evening. But Eddie Howe’s side are still on a positive run in the Premier League after back-to-back triumphs over Manchester United (2-1) and Chelsea (0-1), with talisman Gordon netting in both of those games. The Englishman is up to 16 goals for the campaign, and a player with his fiery nature should shine in such a heated derby. With Gordon adopting a No9 role in recent times and being Newcastle’s designated penalty taker, he really is the standout candidate in this market.
