Round 2 Results 25/26
1 - 2
We Predicted
Brentford vs Aston Villa
Final Score: 1 - 0
The Game Notes: Villa look the better-set side right now: they held Newcastle to a draw even after going down to ten, while Brentford shipped three at Forest on opening weekend. Add that Villa nicked a win in West London back in March and have shown they can get results on the road, and a narrow away edge like 1-2 makes sense.
3 - 1
We Predicted
Bournemouth vs Wolves
Final Score: 1 - 0
The Game Notes: Back at the Vitality, Bournemouth look primed to turn the attacking spark they showed in a 4-2 at Anfield into points. Wolves arrive on the back of a heavy 4-0 defeat at Man City, and with that recent wobble plus home advantage, we’re happy with a lively 3-1 prediction for the hosts.
2 - 0
We Predicted
Arsenal vs Leeds
Final Score: 5 - 0
The Game Notes: Back at the Emirates, both sides come in off opening-day 1-0 wins, but the tilt is toward the hosts: Arsenal have dominated this fixture and are unbeaten in 42 Premier League home matches against newly promoted teams. With that trend and home advantage, a tidy, controlled 2-0 feels the most likely outcome.

We Predicted
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
Final Score: 1 - 1
The Game Notes: Recent meetings at Selhurst have been cagey, and Palace come in off a goalless, well-organised draw at Chelsea, while Forest opened with a confident 3-1 win. Despite the confident Forest opener, with their opponents putting up a resilient start and looking hard to break down, 1-1 feels like a reasonable prediction.
0 - 1
We Predicted
Everton vs Brighton
Final Score: 2 - 0
The Game Notes: Everton are still searching for a spark after opening with a 1-0 defeat at Leeds, while Brighton looked steady in a 1-1 to start - only conceding a draw in the last minutes of play. With the first competitive game at the new waterfront stadium adding a bit of extra pressure, our prediction favours a tight 0-1 away edge.
1 - 2
We Predicted
Fulham vs Man Utd
Final Score: 1 - 1
The Game Notes: Craven Cottage hasn’t been kind to the hosts - United have won eight on the bounce there - and even though they slipped on opening weekend, they still carried plenty of threat. Fulham battled to a draw at Brighton but didn’t look watertight, so a narrow 1-2 away edge tracks with the recent pattern.
