Premier League Tips and Predictions
15:00 - Man Utd v Fulham: Dimitar Berbatov's prediction
Dimitar Berbatov: "Fulham are sitting comfortably in mid-table, but it's a bit underwhelming compared to last season. United need to catch Spurs and Villa, and you know what, they're not far off. So this is a massive game for United and it's one they need to win."
15:00 - Brighton v Everton: Back 7/2 Amex Bet Builder
Alex Boyes: "Nine of Brighton's 10 Premier League wins this season have seen them score at least three goals, beating Brentford 2-1 in the other. They've drawn five and lost four of their nine games when scoring only once in
Premier League games this term.
"Indeed, Brighton are unbeaten in their last 10 Premier League home games (W5 D5) since a 3-1 loss to West Ham in August. The Seagulls have both scored and conceded a goal in 14 of their last 15 at the Amex Stadium, with the exception being a goalless draw with Wolves last month."
15:00 - Aston Villa v Nottm Forest: Awoniyi to score first
Stephen Tudor: "Unai Emery's side have become a curate's egg of late, always threatening going forward - most notably in the form of 13-goal striker Ollie Watkins - but recently leaky at the back.
"Villa have conceded in the first-half in each of their last three outings at home and this is pertinent with 14 of Taiwo Awoniyi's 16 top-flight goals getting Forest off the mark. On 11 occasions it was the first goal of the game."
17:30 - Bournemouth v Man City: Back Iraola's men blow
Kevin Hatchard: "It's been a superb season for Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke. The former Chelsea and Liverpool centre-forward has netted 14 times in the Premier League this season, which is a remarkable output for a player who only scored six times in his previous top-flight campaign and grabbed three goals in the one before that.
"If we look at his shot data, we see that he's attempted two shots or more in 20 of his 24 Premier League appearances this season. In the reverse fixture, he had three shots, despite that fact Bournemouth were crushed 6-1.
The next part of our Bet Builder is backing Both Teams To Score. Bournemouth netted at the Etihad, and they have scored at least once in 15 of their last 16 games in the top division. If we look at Manchester City's lack of clean sheets (they have managed just one in their last 11 Premier League away matches), then it appears there is strong evidence to support BTTS being odds-on."
20:00 - Arsenal v Newcastle United: Saka in 9/2 Bet Builder
Tom Victor: "Newcastle do have some reasons to be hopeful - their clean sheet in this game last term; their back-to-back away wins; their extra few days' rest. If Arsenal play how they have been in the league of late, though, it's hard to look beyond a home win.
"Part of this comes down to the combination of Arsenal's attacking threat and Newcastle's woes at the back. The Magpies have conceded 16 times in their last six league games, a far cry from last season's defensive solidity, while the Gunners have scored 22 in their last six.
"Not only have Arsenal excelled in front of goal, they've kept things very tight at the back. David Raya has faced just two shots on target across his last three league outings, with one apiece for Liverpool and West Ham and none in last weekend's 5-0 win at Burnley.
"We're looking at Arsenal -1, with Saka to score anytime and Saka to be fouled two or more times."
EFL Tips and Predictions
12:30 - Hull City v West Brom: Back an 11/1 bet-builder
NTT20: "Hull's last three games may have ended 2-1, but that proceeded three games that saw just three goals in total, and the total xG in two of the recent three games didn't amount to 2xG.
"Their possession based style is patient rather than proactive, and they come up against an opponent here who thrive when able to defend with men behind the ball.
"U2.5 has copped in five of WBA's last seven games, which is no shock given the pragmatic nature of their manager Carlos Corberan. The high-stakes nature of the game should also play into the chances of it being cagey and low-scoring."
15:00 - Watford v Huddersfiled: Back the Terriers
Jack Critchley: "It's been an underwhelming 2024 for Watford fans. Supporters have sat and watched the Hornets' faint play-off ambitions slowly ebb away with the Hertfordshire side having picked up maximum points just twice since Boxing Day. Both of those victories came away from Vicarage Road and they are without a home success since the end of November. Val Ismael's side beat bottom club Rotherham last weekend, yet it was an unconvincing performance and they were reliant upon an individual moment of brilliance yet again.
"Huddersfield appointed Andre Breitenreiter as Darren Moore's successor with the Terriers hoping that the 50-year old can lead the West Yorkshire club to safety. He has spoke about how he wants to play front-footed football and how his door is always open for the players to come and raise their concerns. John Worthington kept things ticking along nicely and if they can continue that level of performance, they are likely to take at least a point back up the M1 on Saturday evening."
European Football Tips and Predictions
15:15 La Liga Tips: Barcelona v Getafe: Back visitors to score
Jamie Kemp: "Barcelona have only kept one clean sheet in their last 10 matches in La Liga, and their rate of conceding this season has been night and day compared to 2022-23. Xavi's side conceded just four goals in 19 home league games last term, yet they've shipped 19 goals in 13 this time round.
"With the combination of coming off Champions League action in midweek, paired with Barcelona's defensive volatility at Montjuïc this season, I'll opt for a goalscorer recommendation on the opposite side for Sunday.
"Only Jude Bellingham (16) has scored more goals than Borja Mayoral (15) in La Liga this season, and the Real Madrid youth product will be extra motivated for this one. If Barcelona aren't switched on at the back, Mayoral is just the type of forward who can give them a headache."
16:00 Ligue 1 - Lorient v Nantes: Back the hosts
James Eastham: "Despite the glaring difference in form and momentum heading into the game, Lorient are only slight favourites. The market makes the hosts 2.7 to win, while Nantes are 3.0 to collect all three points, and The Draw is 3.25.
"We wouldn't talk anyone out of backing Lorient to claim a fourth win in five games. Alternatively, the big odds on the hosts throw up other ways to support Lorient.
"Our selection is Lorient on the Draw No Bet market. With this pick, you'll get your stakes back if the game ends all-square, and make a profit if Lorient win."
17:30 Bundesliga - Bayern Munich v RB Leipzig: 6/1 Bet Builder
Bad Man Betting: "Xaver Schlager is no stranger to a foul or two. He'll kick, he'll trip, and his work rate means that he's bound to get into multiple altercations throughout the game.
"It comes as no surprise that he's averaging 1.38 fouls per 90, and the fact that he's consistent certainly helps matters.
"The Austrian has committed a foul in each of his last five Bundesliga outings, and committed a ridiculous five when these two last met in 2023.
"Muller's 1.25 foul drawn per 90 will certainly put pressure on him in that deep midfield space, whilst the likes of Kimmich and Pavlovic, who combine for 1.73 fouls drawn per 90, will provide further threats still."
