Premier League 2009/2010 season

After two and a half months of brake, today 15 August the new season of Premier League starts. The new season appears to be very interesting.

As expected after the famous transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid all bookmakers see Chelsea as the favorite for this season’s title. Best chances to win this season have Chelsea 2.80, Manchester 3.25 and Liverpool 4.00 odds.

Let's take a look at the most interesting matches of the first game week.  

After three successive titles Manchester United, will start the run for the forth with a match against Birmingham City. The first game for Manchester looks easy because the champions won all matches against Birmingham since 1978.

The Red Devils have an easy task, triumphing in the last 21 meetings with Birmingham. All bookmakers give the first chance to Manchester, Unibet for example giving Manchester 1.16 odds while Hull has only 20 to 1 chances to win.

Liverpool will have a stronger start. Last season Liverpool lost only two matches and one of them came with Tottenham Hotspur which will be the first team to play with this season. Last year Tottenham made their worst ever start in Premier League winning just two points from their first eight matches. For this game online bookmaker consider most likely to be a draw. For example Ladbrokes has the next odds: Liverpool 1.83, Tottenham 1.53 and draw 1.41.

The third placed club in the 2008/2009 season Chelsea is very lucky to start the season with Hull City, which finished last season on the 17th place. The match is expected to be relaxed and the all major bookmakers see Chelsea as the winner with 1.22 odds (Ladbrokes).
