Ben Dixon's Saturday Football Tips & Predictions

AK Bets logo

Brighton vs. Sunderland

  • Sunderland or Draw: 5/4 at AKBets

Brighton come into this game heavily favoured at 4/6 with some football bookmakers, and I personally cannot understand it. Sunderland have been a revelation this season, and whilst they have hit a rough patch in recent weeks, they got a boost last weekend.

After the win against Newcastle - where they never really looked threatened - I think they can continue with a solid result on Saturday. However, the insurance of the draw still being above Evens is lovely, and I fancy it.

Sheffield United vs. Birmingham

  • Over 2.5 Match Goals: 10/11 at Betfred

Both of these teams have been in plenty of goal fests in the past few weeks. In fact, in their last 10 games, Sheffield United have seen 32 goals in their games, whilst Birmingham have seen 31.

Both have seen 19 in the past six games, so they are well above the three-goal-a-game average. Using our BTTS sheet, the two teams have both scored in 80% of their last five meetings, so this certainly has potential.

Port Vale vs. Peterborough United

  • Peterborough to Win: 12/5 at BetMGM

I tipped Luton against Port Vale last weekend, and they earned a draw. However, I struggle to see them getting two results in a row, especially with how Posh are playing at the moment.

They have won three of their last five games on the road, and although these were their only three away wins of the season so far, I think they can continue this against the League One relegation favourites.

Doncaster vs. Plymouth Argyle

  • Plymouth to Win: 57/20 at 10Bet

A lot of similarities can be found between Plymouth and Peterborough in the sense that both have struggled this year. However, the Pilgrims have hit form in recent weeks, winning their last two games and three of their last five.

Doncaster have lost three of their last five, whilst losing three of their last four home games. At almost 3/1, I think this price is much too good to ignore.
