Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United
Tyler Morris; Premier League Correspondent at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Despite a recent uptick in results, Manchester United remain unpredictable travellers, particularly when matched against well-organised opposition. Nottingham Forest, sitting third in the Premier League, have built their charge around defensive solidity at home—unbeaten in eight on their own turf. They’ve already taken points from both Arsenal and Liverpool at the City Ground and will not fear United.
Chris Wood is doubtful, but Forest have shown resilience in reshaping their attack. Elanga, a former United player, could pose problems with his direct running, while Gibbs-White and Hudson-Odoi create movement and width. United, meanwhile, are still tinkering with their back three and have only won back-to-back league games once this season.
Forest are high on confidence after beating Ipswich and progressing in the FA Cup. With the Red Devils prioritising European ambitions, Forest have the tools to seize the moment and complete a league double over their visitors.
Best bet – Nottingham Forest to Win
Bournemouth to win & Over 2.5 goals | |
17/20 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning The Cherries are winless at home in their last five but will sense an opportunity against Ipswich, who have managed just one point in six matches. Bournemouth’s forward trio could take full advantage of Ipswich’s depleted midfield and suspect backline in a match likely to feature multiple goals. | |
Arsenal vs Fulham
Herrin Kendrick; London Football Expert at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Arsenal may still be in the title picture, but their form at the Emirates has been far from dominant. With just four wins in their last nine home matches, Mikel Arteta’s side have appeared vulnerable—particularly defensively, with no clean sheets in their previous four home games. Fulham, meanwhile, are a dangerous opponent right now.
Marco Silva’s men have triumphed in four of their last six Premier League outings and boast five away wins in their last six trips. Their setup is built to frustrate big sides, as seen in their controlled dismantling of Tottenham, and they held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw earlier in the campaign.
Arsenal will be without key forwards Jesus and Havertz, and while Saka may feature, he’s not expected to start. Fulham’s counter-attacking threat—especially through Iwobi and Willian—could hurt Arsenal again. This game is set up for an upset or at least a stalemate.
Best bet – Fulham Double Chance (Win or Draw)
Aston Villa to win | |
21/10 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Villa’s form under Emery has been impressive, particularly in big games. Brighton are reeling from cup disappointment and injury woes. With Villa eyeing a top-four finish and boasting attacking depth, this midweek fixture leans in favour of the visitors, who could outscore a weakened Seagulls squad.
| |
Wolverhampton vs West Ham
Gram Dodd; Tactical Specialist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Wolves have shown signs of fight under Vitor Pereira, especially with their gritty win over Southampton. However, their home record is concerning—three defeats in their last five at Molineux suggest a lack of assurance in front of their own fans. With Matheus Cunha and other attacking options sidelined, the goals may have to come from less potent sources like Strand Larsen.
West Ham, although inconsistent, have fared well in this fixture historically, having beaten Wolves in their last three meetings. Their 1-1 draw with Everton showed defensive resilience, and the partnership of Kudus and Bowen offers mobility and pace on the break.
With Wolves short in firepower and the Hammers looking structured, this game looks tight. A low-scoring encounter feels likely, but backing the visitors to avoid defeat provides a good edge.
Best bet – West Ham Double Chance (Win or Draw)
Both Teams to Score | |
4/9 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Despite Newcastle’s EFL Cup success, they remain shaky at the back with several defenders unavailable. Brentford, meanwhile, are thriving on the road, with five consecutive away wins. Given both teams’ scoring capabilities and defensive vulnerabilities, goals at both ends appear highly probable.
| |
Empoli vs Bologna
Wolfgang Shotten; Serie A Analyst at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Empoli’s fairytale Coppa Italia run has masked their deep-rooted struggles in the league. Winless in 15 Serie A matches, they are short on confidence and even shorter on reliable first-team regulars due to injuries and suspensions. Their penalty shootout win over Juventus in the quarter-final was valiant, but not reflective of their current form.
Bologna, in stark contrast, are enjoying a superb campaign. They’ve won six in a row across all competitions and come into this cup semi-final with Champions League football also firmly in sight. Riccardo Orsolini is in tremendous form, having netted 11 goals this season, and will be a constant danger from wide positions.
Vincenzo Italiano’s men are playing with fluency and control, and they have the tactical discipline to break down a compact but limited Empoli side. Given their recent dominance and Empoli’s ongoing league woes, Bologna should take the advantage in this first leg.
Best bet – Bologna to Win
Both Teams to Score & Salah to score anytime | |
43/20 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning While Liverpool have struggled defensively at home, they possess enough firepower – especially through Salah – to see off Everton. However, the Toffees have rediscovered their scoring touch and are unlikely to be shut out. Both teams scoring is highly likely, with Salah well-positioned to add to his Merseyside tally. | |
Tuesday’s Super Double
- Bruno Fernandes to Score Anytime (Nottingham Forest vs Man United)
Fernandes remains United’s main source of goals and will likely be on penalty duty. His deeper role still allows him to find scoring chances. - Over 2.5 Goals (Arsenal vs Fulham)
Arsenal games at home tend to produce goals, and Fulham can certainly contribute. With vulnerabilities in both defences, the goals should come.
Double Rationale:
This double features two proven trends: Fernandes is United’s most reliable attacking figure, and Arsenal vs Fulham has the potential for a goal-laden clash. Both legs complement each other with balanced risk and strong logic, offering a good mix of player performance and match flow dynamics.
Wednesday’s Super Double | |
4/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Aston Villa’s attacking fluidity, led by Ollie Watkins and supported by Marcus Rashford, gives them excellent chances of scoring at least twice against an injury-hit Brighton defence. Meanwhile, Brentford’s five straight away league wins show they are more than capable of getting at least a point from Newcastle, who remain inconsistent at home. | |
