Arsenal looked destined to end Manchester City’s dominance of the Premier League last season, but the Gunners fell by the wayside towards the end of the campaign. As a result, Man City finished five points clear at the summit.

Not only have the Cityzens won each of the last three EPL titles, but they have also won five of the previous six. Accordingly, Pep Guardiola’s team is the bookies’ clear favorite to secure the silverware in 2023-24.
Other teams such as Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea are bound to come back stronger this year, but I can’t see anything or anyone ending Man City’s hegemony anytime soon.
Best Bet: Manchester City (-145)
Spanish La Liga Outright Odds and Predictions for 2023-24
- Real Madrid (+100)
- Barcelona (+110)
- Atletico Madrid (+700)
- Sevilla (+2000)
- Real Sociedad (+3500)
- Villarreal (+4500)
- Athletic Bilbao (+5500)
- Real Betis (+5500)
Barcelona finished 10 points clear of second-placed Real Madrid last season, while third-placed Atletico Madrid finished one point shy of Los Blancos. Remarkably, Barca conceded a measly 20 goals in 38 games en route to clinching the title.
Real Madrid and Barcelona have won 17 of the 19 La Liga titles on offer since 2004-05, with Atletico claiming the other two. As you can see, the bookies believe that the battle for the 2022-23 crown will be a two-horse race between the big two.

Ultimately, it is always difficult to predict who will triumph in Spain’s top tier, as Barca and Real Madrid are usually evenly matched. Sign up to Sports Hub and log in to access my pick for the 2023-24 La Liga title winner.

2023-24 Italian Serie A Outright Odds and Analysis
- Inter Milan (+175)
- Napoli (+200)
- Juventus (+250)
- AC Milan (+500)
- Roma (+850)
- Lazio (+900)
- Atalanta (+2300)
- Fiorentina (+7000)
- Monza (+12500)
Napoli ended their 33-year wait for Serie A glory when they secured the scudetto last season, with Victor Osimhem and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia leading the charge. However, the Neapolitans could struggle to defend their crown.
Indeed, Inter Milan is the bookies’ favorite to win the 2023-24 Serie A titles, with the top three favorites priced between +175 and +250. Alongside Inter, Napoli and Juventus, AC Milan, Roma and Lazio are also in the mix.
After winning the Serie A title in 2020-21, Inter reached the UEFA Champions League final last season. It feels like the Nerazzurri is best placed to secure the scudetto in 2023-24, but the title race looks set to go down to the wire.

Outright Odds and Predictions for the 2023-24 German Bundesliga

- Bayern Leverkusen (+4500)
- Eintracht Frankfurt (+8500)
- Union Berlin (+8500)
- Borussia Monchengladbach (+12500)
- Freiburg (+12500)
Bayern Munich clinched an 11th successive Bundesliga triumph last season, edging out Borussia Dortmund on goal difference on the final day of the campaign. Naturally, Bayern is the firm favorite to take a 12th title on the bounce.
Some things are simply more important than football. ❤️

However, I’m backing Dortmund to end Bayern’s dominance in 2023-24. The perennial runner-up has been knocking on the door for years, so I can see BVB taking advantage of an unsteady Bayern ship this time around.
Best Bet: Borussia Dortmund (+450)
French Ligue 1 Outright Odds and Analysis for 2023-24
- Paris Saint-Germain (-400)
- Marseille (+1050)
- Lens (+1750)
- Lille (+1750)
- Monaco (+1750)
- Lyon (+2000)
- Rennes (+2800)
- Nice (+4500)
Surprise package Lens pushed Paris Saint-Germain all the way last season, finishing a solitary point behind the champion. Nevertheless, PSG ended up claiming a fifth Ligue 1 title in six years.
When you look at the bigger picture, the Parisians have won nine of the previous 11 top-flight titles in France. As the bookies’ odds suggest, PSG is favored to win it all again, but teams like Marseille, Lille, Monaco and Lyon could spring a surprise.
