Manchester City defeated Crystal Palace 4:1 on Friday August 28 and scored a second triumph in the season. Lewis Jones correctly pointed out City's win, although he predicted a score of 2:1. For the remainder of the 2nd round, the Sky Sports expert distinguishes the bets on Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United.
Manchester City confirmed the direction, but not the exact result
Manchester City won at Selhurst Park 4:1. Rayan Cherki and Erling Haaland scored 2 goals each, and Enzo Mareski's squad has a set of six points. Jones Knows predicted a 2-1 guest victory. So he hit the side of the game, but not its exact course or the size of the win.
It's an crucial distinction. The kind of winner, the exact score and the individual marketplace are 3 separate bets. The correct assessment of the city advantage does not automatically mean that each course associated with this gathering is hit. Crystal Palace's account confirms score 1:4 and Cherki and Haaland's doubles.
Liverpool of Forest: expert goes against waiting for the goal festival
W complete analysis of 2nd queue Lewis Jones kind Liverpool's triumph 2:0, and as the main bet he chooses little than 2.5 goals at course 5/4, or 2.25 in decimal. His argument is based on the offensive weakness of Nottingham Forest. The squad did not score a goal in 2 consecutive games with Leeds and scored a full of 1.4 expected goals.
Liverpool tied for beginning 2:2 with Newcastle, so a advanced score at Anfield tempts. Jones looks at the another side of the equation. Forest may not add its own goal, and then crossing line 2.5 depends almost exclusively on the hosts. The context of Forest's first defeat was described after Anton Stach's late goal at City Ground.
Chelsea and Brighton: The numbers lead towards the goals
Chelsea began the period with a 3:2 triumph over Fulham. Brighton crashed Aston Villa 4:0. Jones predicts a score of 3:1 for the hosts and chooses a combined bet: over 2.5 goals and both teams will score, after course 4/5, or 1.80.
This kind has a simple basis. Chelsea showed large possible in the attack, but besides problems in defense. Brighton arrives at Stamford Bridge after 4 hits and does not gotta limit himself to deep defensive. The course is lower than at Liverpool, but the script has support in the results of the first round. Broadcasters can usage our guide after watching Premier League 2026/27.
Manchester United under force with solid fragments
Manchester United returns to Old Trafford after defeat 0:2 from Hull City. Both goals fell after solid fragments. Jones thus points to the individual marketplace of Dary O'Shei of Ipswich: at least 1 shot after a 2.00 course. The defender over the last 12 months averaged 0.95 shots for 90 minutes.
It's a bet based on a peculiar player role, not on the sensational presumption that the benefactor will og United again. The expert predicts the triumph of hosts 2:1, but believes that Ipswich can exploit their weakness in the centering and permanent fragments. For Manchester United, the stakes are already serious: a second fall with a Benjamin would mean a crisis at the start of the season.
Other forecasts Jones Knows
In a Bournemouth match against Everton, the expert predicts a 1:1 draw. He besides points to Kieran Dewsbury-Hall, who has greater freedom in the Everton offensive; the course for his goal was 4/1, or 5.00.
The clash of 2 benjamins, Coventry of Hull, is said to end with a draw of 2:2. The goal direction is supported by a series of 35 of the last 36 league Benjamin meetings where at least 2 hits were scored. With Tottenham, the expert bet on reacting to a 0:3 defeat with Brentford and typed Spurs 2:1 win from Newcastle.
Leeds with Brentford and Sunderland with Fulham are expected to end with 1:1 draws. In this second match, he distinguishes Josh King from Fulham as a possible scorer at course 9/2, or 5.50. The line is closed by Aston Villa with Arsenal. After Villa's defeat 0:4 and Arsenal's triumph 3:0 kind 2:1 for England's champions is consistent with the current form.
Four main bets and the limit of liability
List of major proposals Jones Knows includes at least 2 fouls on Marc Guéhim in a already completed Crystal Palace match against Manchester City, little than 2.5 goals in Liverpool's gathering with Forest, over 2.5 goals and hits both sides in Chelsea's match with Brighton and at least 1 shot by Dara O'Shei against Manchester United. Each of these markets is accounted for separately.
The expert had a good first weekend, but earlier effectiveness does not change the probability of another event to certainty. 1 more thing is crucial for the Polish recipient: Sky Bet is part of the British material, not the recommended offer for the Polish market. Ministry of Finance publishes a list of operators authorised in Poland. Bets are only available to adults and endanger to lose money.
The best sports analysis is not to multiply coupons. It is simply a difference between a strong premise and a good story. This line looks the most solid arguments about the low number of Forest goals, Chelsea's open match against Brighton, and United's weaknesses with fixed fragments.
