Wednesday's Free Football Betting Tips & Predictions

There is a big week of football ahead, and I am looking to find the best value in Wednesday's selected fixtures.

Southampton vs Crystal Palace

Southampton remain bottom of the Premier League table (1/200 for relegation) with just nine points after losing 11 of their last 12 matches under Ivan Juric. The Saints would become just the third side in English top-flight history to lose 10 consecutive home games in a season with a loss here.

Crystal Palace cruised through to the FA Cup semi-finals after a 3-0 victory away at Fulham on Sunday. Oliver Glanser's got his team playing beautifully away from home and they're currently on a run of winning six consecutive away matches without conceding a goal with four of them coming in the Premier League.

The Eagles would set a new club record of five consecutive top-flight away victories with a win here and I fully expect them to do so and take advantage of the league's lowest scorers.

Bournemouth vs Ipswich Town

Bournemouth were eliminated by Manchester City 2-1 in the FA Cup quarter-final on Sunday despite opening the scoring. They need to regroup after losing three of their last four Premier League games and this looks the perfect opportunity to do so.

Just three defeats in 18 before that has given them an outside chance for Champions League qualification as they're just 5 points behind the top 4.

Ipswich look set for an immediate return to the Championship (1/20 for relegation) after failing to win a league match in 2025 and four straight defeats have left them 9 points adrift from safety. They have been competitive though and have scored in five of their last six Premier League matches.

Liam Delap has been a big threat this season for Ipswich and has scored 10 goals in the Premier League so far. Bournemouth have conceded in each of their previous five matches at home so I think BTTS and a Bournemouth win looks fantastic value.

Brighton vs Aston Villa

Brighton were bitterly disappointing in the quarter-final of the FA Cup on Saturday, eventually losing on penalties to Nottingham Forest. They're still well in the race for European Football though and have won four of their last five Premier League games, including their last three at home.

Aston Villa reached the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday by beating Preston 3-0 to win their third successive away match in all competitions. Just one defeat in their previous 10 matches will certainly help morale, but their league-away form has been their achilles heel so far this season.

Villa have won just five away matches all season in the Premier League and with The Seagulls looking to win their fourth consecutive home match for the first time in their top-flight history, it looks set to be a tough evening for the Villians.

Newcastle United vs Brentford

Newcastle return to league action after winning their first domestic title in 70 years beating Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley. The Magpies are just two points adrift from Champions League qualification but three defeats in their last five league matches has halted their progress.

Brentford have won their last five Premier League away matches and registered an impressive 2-1 victory at Bournemouth in their last game but another mid-table finish looks likely for The Bees.

The atmosphere at St James' Park is set to be extraordinary as the Toon Army welcomes their team home for the first time since their Wembley triumph. This will help the home side but they are still suspect at the back and have conceded in five of their last seven home matches in all competitions.

Newcastle beat Brentford 3-1 in the Carabao Cup here in December and I expect a similar result tonight.

Manchester City vs Leicester City

Manchester City came from behind to beat Bournemouth 2-1 on Sunday to reach the FA Cup semi-final. City still have a lot of work to do to secure Champions League football and one win in their last four Premier League matches has done nothing to help that. They're also winless in their previous two home matches but the visit of struggling Leicester should help ease those concerns.

Leicester City have struggled this season and Premier League relegation (1/66) is staring them in the face. The Foxes are on a seven-match losing streak in all competitions and have won just four matches all season in the League.

Omar Marmoush has scored five goals for City since arriving in January including scoring the winner against Bournemouth on Sunday. A hattrick at home against Newcastle in February has settled him down and he looks great value to score tonight, especially as he looks set to start up front due to Erling Haaland's ankle injury.

The Citizens won 2-0 at Leicester in December and The Foxes have only scored in two of their subsequent ten league games since then.

Liverpool vs Everton

Liverpool are nine points clear in the Premier League title race and can restore their 12-point margin over Arsenal with a win in the Merseyside Derby.

The Reds have had a disappointing time recently with exits in both the Champions League and the Carabao Cup final defeat but they've now had a few weeks to regroup thanks to the international break. Liverpool have lost just one Premier League game all season and have lost once in 27 Merseyside Derbies at Anfield, winning 16 of them.

Everton have been rejuvenated since the return of David Moyes and have put their relegation worries firmly behind them. The Toffees come into this match unbeaten in their previous nine Premier League games and have scored in each of their last six matches so I expect them to grab a goal tonight.

Everton snatched a late point in a 2-2 draw at Goodison Park earlier in the season and with Liverpool scoring at least twice in their last 15 domestic matches at Anfield that bodes well for over 2.5 goals and BTTS.

A Liverpool victory here will edge them closer to a record-breaking 20th English top-flight title and Arne Slot's men look set to pile more misery on the blue half of Merseyside and win another Derby.
