Free Football Tips – Arsenal V Huddersfield

Football Betting Tips Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Can Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang add to his 10 Premier League goals against Huddersfield?

Unai Emery’s Arsenal side entertain Huddersfield at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, and this is the match that makes up our free football tips this weekend.

Arsenal are on a remarkable run at the moment, they are currently 20 matches unbeaten, and that looks set to continue against struggling Huddersfield. 

To the credit of the Yorkshire side, results did improve with 2 wins (over Wolves and Fulham) and a draw (with West Ham), but that mini revival came to an end with two defeats to Brighton and Bournemouth (both 2-1).

Arsenal though have the Premier League’s top goalscorer in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is scoring a goal every 113 minutes. I can see a home fixture against Huddersfield being right up his street.

The Gunners are just 2/7 to win this match. Huddersfield are 12/1, and the draw is 5/1.

2/7 is a bit too short to back, so I’m going to back Arsenal on the Handicap. Arsenal -1 is 3/4, and with a -2 start, the Gunners are 19/10. I’m going to play it safe, and go with the -1 start.

Free Premier League Tips

Recommended Bet – 5 Points on Arsenal to beat Huddersfield at -1 Handicap, at 3/4 with Ladbrokes.

The free Premier League tips have taken a bit of a hit lately, with 3 losses from our last 4 tips. We are still over 30 points up so far this season, which is pretty good going. 

Backing the home team on the Handicap is more favourable from going for the away team. 

Other tips I considered for this weekend were Man City to win away at Chelsea. The only slight doubt I have on that one is the fact that Sergio Aguero is out injured.

That said, City will still probably win. 

Premier League Tips – Wolves V Chelsea

Free Premier League Tips
We are expecting Chelsea to continue Wolves’ woes on Wednesday night at Molineux

Chelsea to be too strong for struggling Wolves

For this round of fixtures, we are focusing on the match between Wolves and Chelsea for our free premier league tips.

After a magnificent start to life in the Premier League, the wheels have started to fall off for Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Their last six matches have yielded just 1 point, and this includes three straight home defeats to Huddersfield (0-2), Tottenham (2-3), and Watford (0-2).

Despite their excellent start to the season, Chelsea have come unstuck recently.

They recently lost 3-1 away at Spurs, which followed on from a 0-0 draw at home to Everton. They did return to winning ways last Sunday with a 2-0 win over Fulham.

Wolves start the match on Wednesday at heavy odds against. Nuno Espírito Santo’s team are 4/1 to win in 90 minutes, with the draw at 11/4. Chelsea are 4/5 favourites to win the match.

Premier League Tips

This match has a look of 2-0 to Chelsea about it, so we are going to stick our necks out slightly, and tip Chelsea to win and there to be over 1.5 goals, which is 6/5 with Betfred.

Recommended Bet – 3 Points on Chelsea to beat Wolves and over 1.5 goals to be scored in the Match Result and Over/Under 1.5 Goals market, at 6/5 with Betfred.

4/5 on it’s own isn’t bad odds on the Blues, but we believe they will win this by a couple of goals, which pays better odds.

After been let down twice in succession we are staying well away from Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United side.

Although I can see United turning in a performance and beating Arsenal (maybe 2-0) on Wednesday, we’re still not tipping them!

With the United inspired recent losses in mind, we are going to be a touch more cautious with this tip.

We are looking at protecting our (and your) betting banks, so we are just going for the 3 points win this time.

Wolves V Chelsea kicks off at 7.45pm, on Wednesday, and is being played at Wolves’ Molineux Stadium.

Over 2.5 Goals Predictions – Sunday 5-fold acca

over 2.5 goals betting
We are expecting goals at the Emirates today.

There’s plenty of exciting matches this Sunday for our regular football tips, and 5 of them are making up our over 2.5 goals predictions for today.

We have spread the net far and wide across Europe for this one, with matches from England, Germany, Switzerland, Spain and France.

Over 2.5 Goals Predictions

– Arsenal V Tottenham @ 11/20 – 2.05pm
– RB Leipzig V Borussia Monchengladbach @ 1/2 – 2.30pm
– FC Basel V Young Boys @ 4/9 – 3pm
– Barcelona V Villarreal @ 2/7 – 5.30
– Bordeaux V PSG @ 1/2 – 8pm

The 5-fold pays just under 5.5/1. So for a £10 bet, the return would be £64.70 (including your tenner).

Arsenal V Spurs has a look of 2-1 either way about it. I was tempted to throw Liverpool V Everton in as well, as 2-1 to the Reds looks a good shout to me.

Leipzig and Monchengladbach are both enjoying excellent seasons, and this a top of the table clash in the Bundasliga.

Second placed Monchengladbach have 30 goals from their 12 matches so far, conceding 14. Leipzig have a 22:10 record from their 12 matches, and sit in fifth place. This one has goals written all over it.

Another match that smells of goals is FC Basel V Young Boys. Alongside the match in Germany, this could be an excellent over 3.5 goals double. Over 3.5 goals in Germany pays 5/4, with Basel V Young Boys priced up at 23/20.

In Spain, Villarreal sit just one place above the relegation zone, and while they have only conceded 14 goals in 13 matches, their opponents, Barcelona, have scored 35 goals this term. 26 at home, in just 7 matches at the Nou Camp.

PSG have scored 46 goals in 14 Ligue 1 matches this season. Bordeaux haven’t been anybodies whipping boy though this season. They sit in mid table (12th place), with a modest goal record of 14 scored, and 15 conceded from their 14 matches.

While that doesn’t suggest a goal fest from Bordeaux’s perspective, they are playing a team averaging over 3 goals a match. PSG only won 1-0 last weekend at home to Toulouse, but they didn’t have Neymar on Mbappe playing.

Free Football Betting Tips – Man Utd to beat hopeless Saints?

Football Betting Tips
Are United better off playing away from Old Trafford at the moment?

Football Betting Tips – Even money too good to ignore on United to beat Southampton

It was once famously said that a week in politics is a long time, well, I’m now saying the same thing about my free football betting tips.

Yes, less than a week after saying I’m not tipping Manchester United again, you’ve guessed it, I’m tipping Manchester United.

Why? I hear you ask. Well, firstly, because they are playing away at Southampton, with the emphasis being on the word, away.

Three of United’s six wins have come away from home this season. They seem to be more relaxed away from Old Trafford at the moment.

Second, they are playing Southampton, a team with just one league win all season. Okay, they have five draws, but just one win in thirteen matches tells its own story. Oh yes, and their manager – Mark Hughes – is under immense pressure to keep his job.

Third, you can get even money on Man Utd to win with Betvictor, and 10/11 or 19/20, with most other bookmakers. I may well regret saying this, but I just believe the odds on offer are too good to turn down.

As inconsistent as United are, Southampton are far worse. How often are we going to see odds of around Even money on Man Utd to go to the second bottom team in the Premier League, who have one win from thirteen? Not often!

Recommended Bet – 8 Points on Man Utd to beat Southampton at Even money with Betvictor.

Lukaku to score at last?

I also believe it may be time for Romelu Lukaku to finally get himself back on the score sheet for United.

The big Belgian has had a retched run off form for United recently, not scoring in the Premier League since United’s away win at Watford, back on September 15th. Yes, you did read that date correctly.

Lukaku has just four league goals this season, so he’s not jumping out to be backed to score. How many times though, do you see a match like this be the one that gets a striker back into form?

Saints fans must know damn well that Lukaku will end his drought in this one. In anytime goalscorer betting, Lukaku is 13/8 with Betvictor, and I am tipping him to score as well.

Recommended Bet – 2 Points on Romelu Lukaku to score anytime for Man Utd against Southampton at 13/8 with Betvictor.

Liverpool drift in Champions League betting after latest loss

PSG 2-1 Liverpool Champions League Betting

Liverpool’s progress in this season’s Champions League is now in danger after another defeat on the road in Group C, with the Reds out to 16/1 in Champions League betting.

The 2-1 defeat to PSG sees Liverpool slip to 3rd place in the group, putting them at risk of going out at the first stage.

The 2-1 result did see one of our over 2.5 goals selections come in though.

The loss now means the Reds have to beat Napoli at Anfield either 1-0, or by two clear goals, if they are to progress to the Round of 16.

The Italian side know that a win will see them top the group, a remarkable achievement given the difficult opponents they were handed down in the draw.

In Champions League betting, PSG are now the favourites at 1/20 to qualify from the group, with Napoli at 8/13, and Liverpool at 4/5, bringing up the rear.

This was Liverpool’s third successive defeat away from home in the group, and it’s fair to say that they have been less than impressive in all three matches.

Dropping down into the Europa League – which will happen if Liverpool fail to win – probably won’t help their Premier League campaign, as it will involve Thursday night kick offs, something that the big clubs seem to hate.

In fairness, that is probably more down the vanity. Playing in the Europa League is not where the big boys want to be.

Especially in Liverpool’s case, after reaching the final of the Champions League last season. Going out of the competition before Christmas would be a disaster.

More immediately for Klopp, and his team face Everton in the Merseyside Derby this weekend. The one saving grace is that it is at Anfield, so that gives Liverpool a major advantage.

Over 2.5 goals predictions – Dortmund head champions league 4 fold

over 2.5 goals Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund celebrate a goal in Saturday’s 2-1 win over Mainz

After last night’s winning treble (or trixie) bet on the Champions League, we turn our attentions to tonight’s fixtures, and there are plenty of matches that are of interest for our over 2.5 goals selections.

The matches I’m looking at are Dortmund V Brugge, PSG V Liverpool, Napoli v Crvena Zvezda, and PSV V Barcelona. I believe all 4 have a good chance of being over 2.5 goals. Maybe even over 3.5 goals.

The four matches in an over 2.5 goals accumulator pays just under 4/1 with Betfair, which isn’t the greatest of odds.

The important thing is winning though, and I believe at over 2.5 goals, we have a better chance. All four of the matches are kicking off at 8pm.

Over 2.5 Goals Predictions

– PSV V Barcelona
– Dortmund V Brugge
– PSG V Liverpool
– Napoli v Crvena Zvezda

If I was to go over 3.5 goals, I think I might leave PSG V Liverpool out, as there is the possibility that both sides might cancel each other out.

Also, a 2-1 result might be in the reckoning with this one.

A slight variation on the bet could be to go over 2.5 goals on PSG V Liverpool, and over 3.5 goals on the other three matches.

Doing this would boost your winnings.

With Dortmund and Napoli both at home, and the possibility of Barca scoring 4 anywhere.

They would be the 3 matches I would consider for an over 3.5 goals accumulator bet, or trixie.

Those three matches pays just over 11/1 on over 3.5 goals with Betfair.

I prefer the trixie bet on over 3.5 goals bets, as nearly all of the time, the odds on over 3.5 goals is above even money.

This way, if only two win, you are in profit.

over 3.5 goals predictions – Man City lead our Tuesday night Champions League treble

over 3.5 goals predictions

It’s the return of the Champions League tonight, and we are looking at having a small bet the over 3.5 goals market for a bit of interest.

Here are our over 3.5 goals predictions for the Champions League fixtures on Tuesday, 27th November. All three of the matches are 8pm kick offs.

– Lyon V Man City
– Hoffenheim v Shakhtar
– Bayern Munich v Benfica

This treble pays just under 10/1 on Betfair. If you apply Betfair’s acca edge, you will get 6.25/1. Using acca edge, you will get your money back as a free bet (in cash) if one leg of your accumulator lets you down.

Alternatively, you may want to put them in a Trixie bet (4 bets). That way, if two out of the three win, you will make a small profit.

We all know Man City are scoring for fun, and they may well be looking for a bit of revenge over Lyon after losing 2-1 at the home to the French side earlier in the campaign. Pep’s men are fresh from a 4-0 win over West Ham on Saturday.

I expect them to put out a strong team tonight, as avoiding defeat will ensure qualification as Champions, meaning they can rest players for the final group match.

Shakhtar are the whipping boys of Group F, having conceded 13 goals in their 4 matches so far. Hoffenheim matches can also involve a lot of goals. On Saturday they drew 3-3 away at Hertha, suggesting that goal scoring isn’t a problem.

It also looks like defensively the German side could be a bit open. Which is also a problem that fellow Germans, Bayern Munich seem to be suffering with lately.

Although Bayern Munich have been struggling this season, they’re recent Bundesliga results have been littered with goals. Their last two matches in Germany have been 3-3, and 3-2 defeat.

Man Utd crash our free football tips – again!

Jose Mourinho Sack Odds
Is time running out for Mourinho at Old Trafford?

Well, that’s the last time for the foreseeable future that we’ll be tipping Manchester United on this website. For the second time this season they have crashed our free football tips, this time by drawing 0-0 at home to Crystal Palace.

Our last loss was also suffered at the hands of Mourinho’s United. This was when they drew 1-1 at home to Wolves, all the way back in September. The last time I tipped them!

Never the less, we are still over 40 points up for the season. So hopefully next week we can get back to winning ways, and break the 50 points mark.

I’m always a bit sceptical about tipping in the immediate match after an international break, and so it proved today.

From reading the reports, and listening to the live updates during the match, it appears to have been another lack lustre performance from United. The sort that seem to have become all too frequent under the leadership of Jose Mourinho.

Moving onto our over 2.5 goals predictions, and that accumulator also went down today. I do believe we were a little unlucky though.

5 out of our 7 predictions won. Watford V Liverpool, West Ham V Man City, Tottenham V Chelsea, Mainz V Borussia Dortmund, and PSV V Heerenveen, all won. It was just Juventus V Spal (2-0), and PSG V Toulouse (1-0), that let us down.

I suppose PSG not having Neymar or Mbappe was never going to help, but you would imagine a front 3 of Cavani, Draxler and Di Maria, might have been sufficient and hungry enough to get the required 3 goals.

The other side to let us down, Juventus, only managed a 2-0 win over mid table Spal. Remarkably, the Grand Old Lady only had 45% of the possession. Very unlike the Italian champions.

Maybe next weekend we will look at a smaller over 2.5 goals accumulator. With 7 selections, there is always the chance that one or two teams will let you down. Maybe we need to start looking at 4 or 5 team accumulators.

I also did try out an over 3.5 goals trixie bet today. The beauty of that bet is that due to the fact that all odds are greater than even money, you only need 2 of the 3 bets to come in to make a small profit. While if all 3 bets come in, it will represent a nice profit.

Over 2.5 Goals predictions – Premier League headlines our 7-fold over 2.5 acca

The Premier League heads our Over 2.5 Goals predictions acca bet this week, with 3 matches from the English league included in our 7-fold bet.

A £1 bet on the 7-fold returns £16.32, giving us odds of just over 15/1. Using Betfair, you could apply acca edge, which would give you a return of £13.18. With acca edge, you would get your money back as cash if one leg lets you down.

Over 2.5 Goals Predictions

– Watford V Liverpool (3pm, Saturday)
– West Ham V Man City (3pm, Saturday)
– Tottenham V Chelsea (5.30pm, Saturday)
– PSG V Toulouse (4pm, Saturday)
– Mainz V Borussia Dortmund (2.30pm, Saturday)
– PSV V Heerenveen (7.45pm, Saturday)
– Juventus V Spal (5pm, Saturday)

Big guns, Liverpool and Man City head our selections, as they have a chance of scoring the 3 goals required by themselves alone. They are joined by the stand out game in the Premier League this weekend, Spurs V Chelsea, which could see the 3 goals scored by both teams.

over 2.5 goals predictions
We are expecting goals in Spurs V Chelsea from Wembley today

I actually think the 3 Premier League matches could all see over 3.5 goals come in, and they could be worth a treble.

The remainder of the accumulator is made up from a mixture of leagues across Europe. Starting in France, PSG will be looking to continue their run to the Lique 1 title. Also included is Borusssia Dortmund in Germany, PSV in Holland, and Juventus in Italy.

Free Football Betting Tips – Man Utd V Crystal Palace

United have to win against hopeless Palace, surely!!

Free Football Betting Tips Man Utd

Oh no, here we go again. Anybody who follows my tips will probably have worked out by now that I try to follow a theme of backing a home team where possible. With my usual favourites, Man City and Liverpool, both away from home this weekend, it means a – slightly reluctant – return to Jose’s United team.

And the reason why I’m putting my faith in United this weekend? Their opponents, Crystal Palace!!

Put simply, Palace have been very poor so far this season. Okay, they have had a very hard run in recent weeks. Their last four matches have been against Tottenham at home (lost 1-0), Chelsea away at Stamford Bridge (lost 3-1), Arsenal at home (drew 2-2), and Everton away (lost 2-0). This goes some way to explaining the Eagles poor form, and why they have only picked up 1 point from their last 6 matches.

Having said that, what about United!! Who can really trust them on their fixed odds accumulator coupons this season? You do need to be brave to include them! But they are at home to Crystal Palace. Whose confidence must be at a very low ebb at the moment.

United are just 4/9 to beat Palace. The draw is 10/3, and an unlikely Palace win is just 6/1. Should be another 1 in front of that 6 in my view.

4/9 is a bit to short to back, so I’m going to add goals into the equation. I can see this match finishing 2-0 or 3-0 to Jose’s men. So with this in mind, I’m tipping Man Utd to win and there to be over 1.5 goals in the Match Result and Over/Under 1.5 goals market.

Recommended Bet – 5 Points on Man Utd to win and over 1.5 goals to be scored in the Match Result and Over/Under 1.5 Goals market, at 8/11 with Coral and Ladbrokes.

This season’s Premier League tipping results can be found here. The tips are all free of charge, and we hope to keep it this way.
