Which Premier League Will Be The Highest Scoring This Weekend?

Betting on the number of goals scored in a single Premier League fixture is one of the most popular bets placed on the leading football betting sites. Perhaps, it’s only a matter of time before customers can bet on which game will produce the most goals. This weekend sees the start of the Premier League season, which is always a time of the year when betting sites provide free bet offers in order to attract new customers.

Each week, 10 fixtures are scheduled to be played and every so often there will be a midweek slate of games. Betting on which game will be the highest scoring game could add more excitement to following the league. When predicting the number of goals in a particular match, it helps to have a strategy, but sometimes it all comes down to luck. 

The third weekend of games in the Premier League are a chance for the five teams without a point to get off the mark and for three teams to maintain their 100% start to the campaign. Which of this weekend's 10 games will be the highest scoring game? We've studied this weekend's games and have applied hypothetical odds on which match will be the highest-scoring game of the opening weekend. 

Brighton Go For Hat-Trick of High-Scoring Games

Nobody should be surprised to see Brighton at the top of the Premier League table. Roberto de Zerbi has got his side playing even better than they did last season when they finished sixth to qualify for this season's Europa League. A 4-1 win over Luton was followed by another 4-1 win at Wolves last weekend. Can the Seagulls make it a hat-trick of 4-1 wins?

West Ham come into this game full of confidence after beating Chelsea 3-1 last Sunday which suggests this could well be the highest scoring game of the weekend in England's top flight. Brighton had 16 shots against Wolves who also had 16 shots so there could be a lot of chances created at the AMEX Stadium. Brighton to win and over 3.5 total goals is available at 2/1 with bet365.

Ange-Ball Is Gathering Pace For Spurs

When Tottenham announced Ange Postecoglou as their new manager, some supporters were less than impressed. After two games of the season, those fans seem happy with how things have gone so far. A 2-2 draw at Brentford and a 2-0 win at home to Manchester United offers hope to those Spurs fans waiting for the good times to return to the club. 

It's early in the season and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham can maintain the standard they have set. A trip to Bournemouth will tell us more. In previous seasons, this is the sort of game they would have stumbled in and the Cherries will be looking to bounce back from last week's loss at Liverpool. If Spurs find their groove early, this could be an entertaining contest. William Hill is offering 3/1 for Tottenham to beat Bournemouth and over 3.5 total goals.

Chelsea Expected To Give Luton The Blues

A home game with Luton Town is the perfect opportunity for Chelsea to kickstart their league season. It hasn't been the beginning new manager Mauricio Pochettino has wished for, but a win against the newly-promoted side will give the Blues four points from their first three games. Not ideal, but it's a platform to build on. 

Luton have played a game fewer than Chelsea due to last week's postponement because of construction work to get their Kenilworth Road ground up to Premeir League requirements. The extra time to prepare for this trip to Stamford Bridge still might not be enough for them to win their first ever Premier League game. Chelsea to win and over 3.5 total goals is priced at 33/20 with 888Sport.
