Saturday's Free Football Betting Tips & Predictions

Saturday's Football fixtures are a huge part of the English tradition and I'm here to provide some insight and try and find the best value in selected matches.

Aston Villa vs Ipswich Town

The first match I'll be looking into is at Villa Park and both teams are desperately in need of 3 points. Villa are chasing European football, and Ipswich hoping for Premier League survival. Aston Villa have had a strange season after seemingly recruiting very well over the summer.

They have probably had the best January transfer window of any Premier League club, with the acquisitions of Marcus Rashford, Marco Asensio, Axel Disasi, and Donyell Malen. For me, these additions are a statement of intent and I expect them to have a very good end to the season.

Ipswich have struggled to adapt to Premier League football, just as many promoted clubs have before them. At times they've looked fantastic though, especially on the road with victories at Tottenham and Wolves.

Aston Villa have conceded in their last seven games at home in all competitions but they've still managed to win five of them. Ipswich have scored in 8 of 11 away matches this season and this fixture ended 2-2 at Portman Road earlier in the season. Goals seemingly look very likely in this match so BTTS Villa win seems great value.

Southampton vs Bournemouth

Bottom club Southampton have the Premier League's worst defence but did claim a rare win at fellow struggles Ipswich in their last league match but followed that up with a home defeat to Burnley in the FA Cup. Bournemouth have lost only once in their last 14 matches in all competitions, including wins in five of their last seven away matches, and could well pile more misery on the Saints.

My first pick in this match is Justin Kluivert to score anytime. The Dutchman has 6 goals in his last 6 matches in all competitions including a hattrick in a 4-1 away victory at Newcastle in January. 11 goals so far this season and now looks to be on penalties so lots of opportunities for him to continue his goal-scoring form.

Next, I've gone for over 3.5 goals in the match. Southampton are the top-flight's worst defence and have been involved in matches with 4 goals or more in four of their last seven matches. Bournemouth have scored 18 goals in their last six matches in all competitions and look set to take advantage of the Saints leaky defence.

Manchester City vs Newcastle United

Manchester City looked as though they were starting to turn around their form but after conceding two late goals in Tuesday's 3-2 UCL defeat to Real Madrid, they now face a very tough match against in-form Newcastle United. The Magpies beat Arsenal 4-0 on aggregate to progress to the EFL Cup Final and have only lost two matches in their last 14 in all competitions.

The draw looks fantastic value in this contest. Manchester City just can't seem to find any consistency at the moment and with Newcastle seemingly improving game by game, I think they have a fantastic chance of gaining a valuable point at the Etihad.

Luton Town vs Sheffield United

Luton Town have really struggled since their relegation from the Premier League and find themselves bottom of the Championship (13/8 to get relegated) and have 0 wins in their last 10 matches in all competitions including three losses in their last five in the league. The Hatters have also failed to score in their last three home matches with two 1-0 defeats.

Sheffield United have five wins in their last seven in the league and find themselves in second in the Championship. The Blades have also won their last 3 away games in the league and look set to pile more misery onto the struggling Hatters.

Sheffield United to win looks to be great value and I'm surprised they're not odds on considering both team's recent form.

Sheffield Wednesday vs. Coventry

Sheffield Wednesday are having a good season and are sitting 8th in the Championship. Wednesday have won two of their three away games in the league including A 1-0 win at Swansea on Tuesday. The problem just lately has been their home form with three straight draws.

Since Frank Lampard took over the reins at the Richo Arena, Coventry have only lost 5 matches in 17 since he took charge. The Sky Blues have five wins in their last six matches with their only defeat coming against high-flying Leeds United.

Coventry have won their last two matches away from home against Swansea and Blackburn and beat Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup third round, albeit on penalties. A Coventry win here looks great value, especially with The Owls stuttering home form.
