Premier League Matchday 34 Betting Favorites

The 34th Matchday of the English Premier League is already underway, with the teams fighting tooth and nail to have a positive end to the season and thus be as high as possible in the standings.

Right now, Liverpool remains at the top of the table, with a difference of 13 points over Arsenal, their closest pursuers. Everything points to the Reds lifting the championship trophy soon, so the other four places available for the next edition of the Champions League are up for grabs.

Manchester City already won their matchday 34 game against Aston Villa last Tuesday. Nottingham Forest and Newcastle could overtake Pep Guardiola’s side if they take three points on matchday 34. However, the fight does not end there, as Chelsea and Aston Villa still have chances to finish inside the TOP 5 of the standings.

As we can see, a magnificent end of the season is expected, so we cannot miss a single match. Now, below, we bring you the preview of the best matches of this 34th round of the EPL, with their respective betting odds and our free predictions.

Premier League Weekly Picks Betting Odds

Premier League Matchday 34: Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace

Arsenal is basking in the historic victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League. However, they are looking to extend their winning streak. Although the fight for the Premiership seems to be lost, it is no secret that the team will be ready to fight hard to finish second in the table.

On the other hand, Crystal Palace is struggling against all odds after two defeats, conceding five goals against Newcastle and Manchester City.

In addition, the Eagles have only won one of their last five games, showing limited signs of improvement.

Right now, the team is ranked #12 in the table. They are far from the relegation zone, and they could still have a chance to fight for European places.

That said, our prediction is a 3-1 Arsenal victory.

Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace Betting Pick: Arsenal

Premier League Matchday 34: Newcastle vs. Ipswich

Newcastle, determined to return to winning ways to stay in third or fourth place in the table, will host an Ipswich side that appears to have bought its ticket straight to the second tier of English soccer.

The Magpies are currently fifth in the standings, one point behind Nottingham and two behind Manchester City, but they have one game less than the Citizens. If they win on matchday 34, no matter what happens, they will climb to fourth place in the table. This certainly bodes well for them, considering Chelsea and Aston Villa are very close in the standings.

Newcastle are coming off a winning streak of several games, with a defeat against Aston Villa 1-4.

On the other hand, Ipswich has had a season to forget. As we mentioned, the team has not managed to raise its head during the 33 games played, and they will likely be relegated to the second division for the next campaign.

The team is ranked #18 in the table, with a terrible record of 4 wins, nine draws, and 20 losses, with 33 goals scored and 71 conceded. While they have an average of 1 goal scored per game, their defense is awful, allowing almost 2.2 goals per match. Ipswich is coming from a defeat at home against Arsenal 0-4.

There is no doubt that, for this match, our winner’s chip goes to Newcastle.

Premier League Matchday 34: Liverpool vs. Tottenham

Liverpool has had a phenomenal season. Although they were knocked out of the Champions League by PSG, it’s no secret that Liverpool is currently one of the best teams in the world.

Dominating the Premier League is complicated, but Liverpool has done it with flying colors. As we mentioned, with 15 points to play for, the team has a 13-point lead over Arsenal, which puts them in an advantageous position to lift the championship trophy in a few weeks. In addition, the Reds have won four of their last five games, the most recent being a 1-0 win over Leicester.

On the other hand, Tottenham is still struggling to find consistency so they can close the season on the right foot. This 2024/25 has been a complete nightmare for Spurs, who are currently 16th in the standings, just two places above the relegation zone, with a record of 11 wins, four draws and 18 defeats.

Their chances of falling into the ditch are practically nil, but the fact that they are in this position with only five games to play is disappointing for this team. Tottenham is one of the teams used to fight in the upper part of the table, so they need a clean slate as soon as possible. Spurs have lost four of their last five games, the most recent being a 1-2 defeat against Nottingham.

For this match, our winner’s chip is on the Reds.

Liverpool vs. Tottenham Betting Pick: Liverpool

Premier League Matchday 34: Nottingham Forest vs. Brentford

There is no doubt that Nottingham continues to have a dream season. Not only are they winning games week in and week out, but they remain in the top half of the standings, fighting for a spot in next season’s Champions League.

Nottingham is currently fourth in the standings with an excellent record of 18 wins, six draws, and nine defeats. They also have one game in hand on Manchester City, so a win on matchday 34 moves them back up to third place in the standings.

In their most recent encounter, Nottingham won over Tottenham 2-1.

On the other hand, Brentford has been a mid-table team all season. They have not been able to maintain a streak that would allow them to climb, at least, to the European competition places.

Brentford is 11th in the standings, with 13 wins, seven draws, 13 defeats, 56 goals scored, and 50 conceded. The team has taken points in four of their last five matches, with their most recent game being a 4-2 win over Brighton.

We expect Nottingham to respect their home and take the three points.

Nottingham Forest vs. Brentford Betting Pick: Nottingham Forest
