We go again.
LAS VEGAS — Here it is. Midweek fixtures are fair game as Tuesday through Thursday Premier League action is upon us and Matchweek 26 is all systems go. From the betting perspective, MW25 saw a decent return with a 2-1 ledger including another satisfaction of the *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports*. The Feature Play getting back in the win column in back-to-back releases after a glacial stretch has me pleased and humbled.
Anywho, moving on, I’m bullish on my chances again. Here is the deal for MW26:
THE TIMELINE
COINCIDENTAL STADIUM of the WEEK
A series depicting a stadium which corresponds to a play featured in The Premier League Prologue actions to open the show.
- London Stadium, London, England
MW26 POSITIONS PL
*Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* RECORD: 10-12-3 (Record displayed in Win-Loss-Push format)
2025-26 PUBLISHED BET RECORD: 38-38-3 (All plays, W-L-P format).
- Straight Bets (Sides, Totals, BTTS): 36-28-3
- Parlays: 0-6
- Proposition (SoT, ATG, Team Props, etc.): 2-4
These results are unacceptable, embarrassing and so far beneath established standards. I hate it. I couldn’t even bring myself to list the percentages. Obviously, the time is now to stack on success and go on a big run.
— ⚽️: “THE BTTS SPECIAL”
- CHELEE BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-35)
📚: Consensus Price at multiple shops
KEY METRICS
- CHELEE: 69 Goals Scored aggregate
BTTS SUPERFACT
KEY OPINION
This is a play on the fact the data and my interpretation of the situation say both parties will score a goal in this match. I think Leeds can catch Chelsea napping and get on the board here as the Blues have a quick rebound for upcoming FA Cup play.
MY TAKE
The BTTS Special has seen mixed results thus far but I’m undeterred in the pursuit of delivering winners. Not sure what I’m supposed to say really re: my take on The BTTS Special: I think both parties can score a goal in its respective match.
— ⚽️: TEAM PROP: SPURS TO HAVE AN ANYTIME LEAD (-20)
📚: BetMGM
KEY METRICS:
- TOT: 9/20 in Possession (51.7%) & T8/20 in Goals Scored (34).
KEY OPINION
- I just think there is value in backing Spurs here. Newcastle is out of form and in the middle of tough scheduling spots.
GL🤝Play Responsibly
— ⚽️BB: WHUMUN UNDER 3.5 GOALS (-40)
📚: William Hill/Caesars
KEY METRICS
- WHU: 27 Goals Scored in 25 league matches season to-date. Hammers are 19/20 in Possession (42.7%).
- MUN: 1.5 GA/90 in league play season to-date.
- WHUMUN: competed to a 1-1 draw (at Old Trafford) on 12.4.25.
BEST BET SUPERFACTS
KEY OPINION
- I see this as a spot where goals should be at a premium and I disagree with a predetermined notion of a shootout. Both clubs have been better in total and better defensively as of late.
MY TAKE
For the *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* for MW26, it’s a play on West Ham and Manchester United to stay Under 3.5 match goals. I’m not expecting a goals for all. In the scope of Premier League play, historically, this hasn’t been a very high-scoring fixture. I think season to-date both clubs are in their best defensive form…if they even have one. Asking for four goals is a big ask in any Premier League joust. So for all that, (WHUMUN UND 3.5 -40) is your *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* for the Premier League Matchweek 26.
FC Record YTD: 13-9

I passed on this to focus on other positions. I liked the Anytime Lead prop better. There was reservation due to the fact Dr. Tottenham will see you now. If you know you know.

BEYOND THE TABLE
You can get the Premier League Table anywhere. It matters at MW26, obviously. But a Table built on xG is something we can use for Sports Investment purposes over the course of the competition in the now and Squawka has done solid, practical work in bringing us this PL Table built on xG.

It’s tostadas at MW26. Suboptimal.
