Brentford vs Aston Villa
John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Brentford may have struggled at home in recent weeks, but their attacking play remains strong, particularly at the Gtech Community Stadium. They are the Premier League’s highest-scoring home side this season, netting an impressive 30 goals in 14 matches. Even though their overall form has dipped, they still find the net regularly.
Aston Villa, meanwhile, have been fragile defensively on their travels. Only three teams have conceded more away goals in the Premier League this season, with Unai Emery’s side shipping 27. Their last away league game saw them crumble defensively in a 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace, raising concerns ahead of this encounter.
One man poised to exploit Villa’s vulnerabilities is Yoane Wissa. The Congolese forward has been in fine form, scoring in each of Brentford’s last two games against Leicester and Everton. He was also on target the last time Brentford defeated Villa at home. With his confidence soaring, he looks a great shout to add to his tally.
Best Bet: Yoane Wissa to Score Anytime
Halifax Town to win & over 2.5 goals | |
13/8 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Halifax are beginning to find rhythm under Lakeland, and their recent win over Yeovil showcased their attacking strength. Woking finally grabbed a victory but remain defensively fragile. Both sides should contribute to the scoring, but the hosts’ firepower and confidence at The Shay give them the edge. | |
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
David Moyes has turned Everton into a well-drilled, resilient side, particularly away from home. The Toffees are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League matches and have kept things extremely tight defensively, conceding just one goal or fewer in 10 of their last 11 away fixtures. Their ability to frustrate opponents has been a key part of their success under Moyes.
Wolves, on the other hand, are without their key attacking force, Matheus Cunha, who is suspended after his fiery outburst against Bournemouth. Without him, Wolves lack a focal point in attack. The last time he was absent, they slumped to a 3-0 home defeat against Nottingham Forest, further highlighting their struggles without him.
With Everton’s defence in strong form and Wolves missing their most dangerous attacker, this game is likely to be a low-scoring affair. The visitors are well-equipped to nick a result, and a disciplined 1-0 victory looks the most likely outcome.
Best Bet: Everton to Win & Under 2.5 Goals
Hartlepool United to win & both teams to score | |
9/4 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Hartlepool’s solid defence has carried them into the promotion race, but with a suspension weakening their back line, Boston may find the net. Even so, the Pools’ superior attacking quality and outstanding home record should secure three points in a match where both sides contribute to the scoring. | |
Barcelona vs Osasuna
Steve Harrington; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Barcelona are on a relentless charge towards the La Liga title, winning six league games on the bounce. Their attack has been devastating, scoring 71 goals this season—comfortably the most in Spain’s top flight. With Robert Lewandowski leading the line, they have been ruthless, recently dismantling Real Sociedad 4-0.
Osasuna, meanwhile, have been inconsistent and struggle against top-tier opposition. Although they have shown resilience, their defence has looked vulnerable, as seen in their recent 3-3 draw against Valencia. They have conceded in their last five matches and are unlikely to keep Barcelona quiet at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.
With Barcelona’s offensive firepower and Osasuna’s shaky backline, this match has the ingredients for a goal-fest. Expect the hosts to dominate proceedings and put at least three past their visitors, continuing their push for the title in style.
Best Bet: Barcelona to Win & Over 2.5 Goals
Over 3.5 goals | |
29/20 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Gateshead’s matches have been chaotic, with goals flying in at both ends. Altrincham travel poorly but usually find the net. With both sides vulnerable in defence, this clash promises another high-scoring affair, with over 3.5 goals the standout value bet for Wednesday night. | |
Marseille vs Lens
Tyler Morris; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Marseille have established themselves as one of the strongest teams in Ligue 1 this season, sitting second in the table with 15 wins from 24 matches. Their dominance at home has been a key part of their success, and they are unbeaten in their last seven league matches at Stade Vélodrome.
Lens, in contrast, have struggled for form, particularly away from home. They come into this game off the back of two consecutive away defeats, and with just nine wins all season, they find themselves languishing in ninth place—16 points behind Marseille. The visitors have lacked consistency, and facing one of the league’s top sides on their own turf is a daunting prospect.
Marseille’s recent 2-0 win over Nantes showcased their quality, and with Roberto De Zerbi’s side winning eight of their last 13 matches when odds-on favourites, backing them for another home victory makes sense. Given Lens’ recent form, a narrow 2-1 win for the hosts looks a strong possibility.
Best Bet: Marseille to Win
Boreham Wood to win or draw (Double Chance) | |
4/11 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Sutton finally won a game but remain fragile defensively. Boreham Wood are organised, unbeaten away from home and carry enough attacking edge to cause problems. With the hosts lacking consistency, the safer play is to back the visitors not to lose, making Double Chance the smart selection. | |
Saturday’s Super Double
For those looking for an extra boost, our Daily Super Double brings together two strong picks from today’s selections:
- Brentford vs Aston Villa – Over 2.5 Goals
- Marseille vs Lens – Marseille to Win & Over 2.5 Goals
Both matches promise attacking action, with Brentford and Villa’s leaky defences and Marseille’s offensive strength making these selections a great pairing for a high-value double.
Wednesday’s Super Double | |
4/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning This double focuses on Halifax and Gateshead games, which have both been packed with goals. Halifax and Woking each showed attacking promise last weekend, while Gateshead’s attacking firepower should finally secure them a home win. Combining BTTS at The Shay with a Heed victory makes for a strong value double. | |
