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.

Blackburn Rovers vs Norwich City

Norwich boosted their playoff hopes with a 4-2 home win over Stoke last weekend and look primed to strike away at Blackburn after the home team have lost six of their last nine matches. The Canaries need to improve their away form though, but this would be a great place to start, especially after a manager change for Blackburn, with Valerien Ismael's appointment over the last few days.

Josh Sargent scored another brace last weekend, making that seven goals in his last six matches. The American is the in-form striker in the league and arguably the best striker in the division. Norwich recruited very well in January and if everything starts to click, Sargent will have plenty of service and the Canaries can go on a late season charge for the Playoffs.

Leeds United vs West Bromwich Albion

Leeds have won their last five Championship matches, including comeback victories over promotion rivals Sunderland and Sheffield United in their last two games. Leeds have also won 14 matches at home this season and have managed to make Elland Road a fortress so it looks very difficult to see West Brom coming away with anything. The Baggies have scored in 16 of their last 18 matches so I think they can cause Leeds problems.

Both teams to score and Leeds to win is my tip here. The value is great and with Leeds conceding three in their last four matches I can certainly see The Baggies nicking a goal here.

Luton Town vs Portsmouth

Bottom of the table Luton have now gone thirteen matches without a victory and look set to struggle once again against the in-form Portsmouth who have won three in a row. Luton have only scored 1 goal in their last five home matches and have lost three of those. Portsmouth haven't had the greatest season away from home but did beat Oxford 2-0 in their most recent trip.

The Hatters just don't look likely at all right now, and with their form at home over the last few months, I think Pompey can take full advantage and ease their relegation worries with a 4th win on the spin.

Stoke City vs Watford

Watford are back up to 9th in the Championship after successive victories. An away win at Middlesbrough highlights their return to form after stuttering over the last few months, including four defeats in five before their trip to the Riverside.

Stoke have lost three of their last four matches in the league and have conceded 7 goals in the last two. A home defeat to Middlesbrough 3-1 on Tuesday will do nothing for their confidence and they may well struggle to contain the in-form Hornets.

The Watford win here looks excellent value, especially being undefeated in four of their last five away matches, winning two of them. They're the in-form team between these two and an away victory looks most likely.

Burton Albion vs Mansfield Town

Burton Albion have bolstered their League One survival hopes by collecting 17 points from their last eight matches and look more than capable of seeing off Mansfield here. Successive 1-0 away victories against Stevenage and Lincoln City show just how much they've improved since the turn of the year.

Mansfield Town have thrown away a good start to the season and have now lost nine of their last ten matches in the League. The Stags haven't won away since the January 4th, and since then they've lost three out of the last four on the road.

Burton are in fantastic form and I'm surprised at how much value a home win is here. Mansfield haven't shown any signs of their form turning around and I expect them to struggle again here against Burton.

Crawley Town vs. Cambridge United

Neil Harris made a winning return in his second spell in charge of Cambridge with a 2-0 home victory against high-flying Stockport. Bottom of the league and 8 points from safety, Cambridge will hope the new manager bounce continues at struggling Crawley. The Reds have only managed two wins in 2025 and have lost 7 of their last 14 matches.

Cambridge look a big price here to win away at Crawley and simply because of the return of Neil Harris, I think the confidence and morale in the team has improved and they can snatch a vital win in their relegation scrap here.
