Best Football Bets This Weekend 👇

Red cards, goals, late turnarounds. Last week's return of Premier League football had it all, and with there being top-of-the-table clashes and derbies across the board this weekend, there’s plenty to look forward to.

Our tips will consist of the following categories:

· The Banker – A bet with shorter odds that is typically, statistically, more likely to happen.

· The Earner – An upgrade on the banker that holds more potential profit, at a greater risk.

· The Long Shot – A bet with longer odds that aims to secure significant profit but as the name suggests, is often difficult to pull off.

· The Accumulator – A combination of often shorter odd bets to create a longer, more profitable accumulator.

The Banker - (11/10)

Kaoru Mitoma & Matheus Cunha both to have a shot on target (11/10)

Brighton host struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday as Gary O’Neil’s side look to record their first victory of the season after having a point snatched away from them against Manchester City in the games closing seconds.

Matheus Cunha remains Wolves’ primary source of shots on goal with the Brazilian recording an average of 1.17 shots on target per 90, the forward has scored in two of his last four Premier League starts for Wolves and continues to be a threat despite his side struggling for results.

Wolves’ leaky defence has seen the Midlands side ship the most goals in the Premier League so far (23 goals in 8 games), making it no surprise that Brighton’s opponents allow the 2nd most shots on target per 90 in the league (6.37 per 90).

Brighton’s all-guns-blazing approach under Fabian Hurzeler has seen the Seagulls soar as high as 5th in the Premier League with Karou Mitoma continually thriving on the wing, averaging 0.97 shots on target per 90, suggesting the Japanese international should have at least one shot that tests Jose Sa in the Wolves net.

The Earner - (3/1)

Eberechi Eze, Dominic Solanke & Brennan Johnson to have a shot on target each & Tottenham to have 4 or more corners. (3/1)

Oliver Glasner’s early season struggles with Crystal Palace continued on Monday as Nottingham Forest inflicted more pain on the Eagles who are desperate to claw their way out of the relegation zone on Sunday at home to Tottenham who tore apart West Ham last weekend.

Eberechi Eze’s goal contribution stats may be disappointing but the creative midfielder continues to be an attacking outlet for Palace, recording an astounding six shots (two on target) against Nottingham Forest. With an average of 1.38 shots on target per 90 this season, the 26-year-old appears to be good odds in this bet builder.

Brennan Johnson’s seven-game scoring streak may have come to a halt against West Ham, but the Welshman continues to shine in Lilywhite and averages 1.19 shots on target per 90 this season, testing Areola once in five attempts last Saturday.

Solanke remains top of Spurs’ shot on target charts this season with 1.37 shots on target per 90, the England international will be fancying a return to the scoresheet against a Crystal Palace side who are currently languishing in the relegation zone. Paddy Power also offer ‘super sub’ on this bet which offers this bet an extra lifeline should any player be substituted.

Tottenham currently tops the Premier League’s corner charts, averaging 9.5 per game and with Postecoglou’s men forcing an incredible 13 corners against West Ham, four corners against Crystal Palace should be more than achievable.

The Long Shot - (8/1)

Mohammed Salah to score anytime, over 3.5 cards, Arsenal to receive the most cards & both teams to score. (8/1)

This 1st vs 3rd place clash is undoubtedly the game of the weekend as Arsenal host Liverpool at the Emirates.

Mohammed Salah will be looking forward to this fixture with the forward netting in two of his last three Premier League games against the Gunners, the 32-year-old is in fine form of late too, scoring in four of his last five games for the Reds. This bet is flexible though, if you believe that someone else other than Salah will be on the scoresheet in this game, you can switch them into your bet builder and the value will only increase.

Discipline has been hard to come by for Arsenal this season, seeing one of their players sent off in three of their opening eight games. It’s not just red cards though, Arsenal have racked up 22 bookings (2.75 per game) compared to Liverpool’s 18 (2.25 per game) suggesting the hosts could well pick up the majority of the cards in the game.

Over 3.5 cards should be more than achievable in this high-stakes clash with this game certainly not lacking any bite with a whopping seventeen cards dished out across both meetings in the Premier League between these sides last season.

Both teams to score is likely the riskiest aspect of this bet, however, you’d have to go back as far as March 2022 (four PL games since) to find the last Premier League meeting between these sides where both teams didn’t score.

The Accumulator - (10/1)

Aston Villa, Manchester City, Brighton, Chelsea & Tottenham all to win (10/1)

Villa are currently riding high at the moment, winning three of their last five and not tasting defeat in ten games. Bournemouth’s impressive home victory against Arsenal has presumably boosted Aston Villa’s odds who look great value at just under evens.

Manchester City facing out of sorts and rock-bottom Southampton requires little explanation, anything over than a win for Guardiola’s men would be a monumental shock here.

A side also struggling alongside Southampton is Wolves, who, like the Saints, remain winless after eight games. Wolves’ hosts, Brighton, are unlikely to give O’Neil’s side a rest however with Hurzeler’s side expected to dominate this clash and could well put a few past a Wolves team in disarray.

Chelsea may have fell to defeat at Anfield but Maresca’s side certainly gave a good account of themselves and can remain positive about their chances in their upcoming match against Newcastle, who are winless in their last four Premier League fixtures.

Tottenham’s loss to Brighton perhaps stirred plenty of criticism around Postecoglou and Spurs, however, an emphatic win over West Ham suggests the loss was just a blip. The visitors have now won six of their last seven and could inflict further pain against a Crystal Palace side who remain winless after their first eight Premier League fixtures.
