Saturday football betting tips

Bet of the day

Over 2.5 goals in Ipswich vs Wolves - 21/20

Ipswich picked up probably the biggest result of their season on Wednesday, beating Bournemouth 2-1 on the south coast.

That kept the gap to safety to nine points to Wolves after the Old Gold had beaten West Ham the night before.

Now the two face off in a huge game for the Tractor Boys and only a victory will do if they are to stay up this season and a defeat would all but condemn them to relegation.

Kieran McKenna’s side won the reverse fixture 2-1 and they have been involved in a number of entertaining affairs this season.

Seven of their last nine league games have gone over 2.5 goals and a repeat of that is fancied against a Wolves side who have scored eight more goals than any other team in the bottom six.

Ipswich’s desperation to get a result may play against them as they could be forced to chase the game if they are behind.  

Special of the day

Both teams to score, over 2.5 goals and Morgan Rogers to score at any time in Aston Villa v Nottingham Forest - 4/1

The late kick-off sees Aston Villa host Nottingham Forest in a massive game in the race for European football.

Three wins from their last four games has seen Unai Emery’s side keep alive their hopes of a Champions League spot, while the Tricky Trees remain in the driving seat with an eight-point gap over sixth-placed Chelsea.

Both teams have found the net in 16 of Villa's last 19 Premier League home games and the last two meetings between these two have produced nine goals.

Morgan Rogers has 12 goals in all competitions this season for the Villans and could add to that tally in what is fancied to be an entertaining affair, so add both teams to net and over 2.5 goals to the equation.

Long shot of the day

Iliman Ndiaye to score first v Arsenal - 12/1

Iliman Ndiaye came off the bench for Everton against Liverpool in midweek as he continues his recovery from injury and he will be pushing to start against Arsenal in Saturday’s early kick-off.

The midfielder is their top league scorer and has eight goals in all competitions despite his fitness issues.

Four of his last nine strikes have been opening goals in a game and he could catch the Gunners, who will be without key central defender Gabriel, cold in this clash.
