Saturday football tips and insight from our very own...

14:30 - Kevin Hatchard - Bayer Leverkusen v Eintracht Frankfurt: Back over 4.5 goals

It was perhaps unrealistic to expect Bayer Leverkusen to maintain their incredibly high standards from last season, and they are well placed in both the Bundesliga and the Champions League, but there's certainly been a decline in the solidity of Xabi Alonso's team. Their collapse against struggling Holstein Kiel - Die Werkself were 2-0 up inside eight minutes but still drew 2-2 - was indicative of the kind of displays they have been putting on. Midfield general Granit Xhaka has been critical of his teammates' defensive displays, insisting it's about basics like desire and positioning.

Given those issues, the visit of high-flying Eintracht Frankfurt suggests we are in for a goalfest here. Frankfurt drew 3-3 with Bayern before the international break, as strike duo Omar Marmoush and Hugo Ekitike continued their stellar start to the season. Ekitike has produced two league goals and two assists, while Egyptian international Marmoush has been unplayable, with eight goals and four assists in his last five Bundesliga appearances. Frankfurt are third in the standings, and deservedly so.

Leverkusen only conceded 24 goals across the entire league season last term, and they have already leaked half that tally. Five of their six Bundesliga matches have featured at least four goals, and four of those have seen an Over 4.5 Goals bet land. Over 3.5 Goals is trading at 2.04 on the Exchange, and given how explosive the two teams have been so far, I think that's actually an attractive price. That said, I'll be a touch more greedy and back Over 4.5 Goals at 3.45, as I think we are in for a treat.

15:00 - Mark Stinchcombe - Man Utd v Brentford: Back the Bees on the handicap

Fourteenth placed Manchester United look far too short at 1.75 to win at home to Brentford. Utd have just three wins in 11 games this season across all competitions and last time out at Old Trafford were humiliated 3-0 by Tottenham. They've scored just five goals in the Premier League so far - the joint second lowest in the division.

It's not something that should come as a surprise having won just six of their last 20 league games and despite a mediocre eighth place finish last season, expected points actually had them ranked 15^th.

Brentford are unbeaten in 10 of their last 15 games and have scored more than twice the amount of goals as Utd and the same as leaders Liverpool with 13. Backing Brentford +1.0 on the Asian Handicap means we will get our money back if Man Utd win by one goal.

15:00 - Jack Critchley - Middlesbrough v Bristol City: Back over 2.5 goals

If you take a look at any of the metrics, you're likely to see that Middlesbrough sat towards the top of the list. The Teessiders have the highest xG of any Championship side and have taken more shots than any of their peers. Unfortunately, Michael Carrick's men have wasted numerous opportunities and also struggled to find a way past in-form goalkeepers. At the Riverside, they've attempted almost 90 shots across their first four matches and they are likely to start this game on the front foot. Carrick has had some time to work with his players on the training ground and it is surely only a matter of time until they start converting some of their opportunities.

Liam Manning has decided to take some time away from the game for personal reasons and everyone at the club will be hoping to produce a performance which will please their manager. The Robins have been a little inconsistent so far, yet they've suffered just two defeats, both of which came away from home. They've managed just a single clean sheet so far and could struggle to contain former striker Tommy Conway.
