ASTON VILLA v MANCHESTER UNITED– Click here to bet
Aston Villa’s unbeaten run continues to gather momentum, following a 2-2 draw away to Ipswich Town that places them 5th in the league with 13 points from 6 outings. While it was a positive result, it ended a three-game winning streak in the league. The Villains have effectively managed both European commitments and domestic duties, as evidenced by their impressive 1-0 victory at home against Bayern Munich midweek. This Sunday, they host Manchester United at Villa Park, looking to capitalize on United’s recent struggles. At home, Villa has recorded 2 wins and 1 defeat, scoring 6 goals and conceding 5 in the process.
This Sunday, Manchester United will travel to Birmingham to take on high-flying Aston Villa at Villa Park. Erik Ten Hag will be eager for change as the mounting pressure continues following United’s poor run of form, which culminated in a heavy 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend. As a result, the Red Devils have slumped to 13th place in the league standings, a position that raises eyebrows given the standards typically associated with the club. Away from home, United’s record currently stands at 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 defeat, having scored 4 goals while conceding 2 on their travels
Head-to-Head
Last season, Manchester United secured a 2-1 victory in the reverse encounter and a 3-2 win in this fixture, marking a successful double for the Red Devils.
Betting
Aston Villa 13/10
Draw 11/4
Manchester United 39/20
Prediction
This promises to be an entertaining clash between two sides in contrasting form. Despite Manchester United’s poor run, the talent at their disposal hints at a potential turnaround. However, Aston Villa are unlikely to hold back and could edge this one, with both teams likely to get on the scoresheet.
Suggested Bet: Result And Both Teams To Score, Aston Villa And Yes at 28/10
CHELSEA v NOTTINGHAM FOREST – Click here to bet
Chelsea host Nottingham Forest this Sunday at Stamford Bridge in what promises to be an exciting clash, especially given Cole Palmer’s impressive form in recent appearances for the Blues. His standout performance last week, scoring all four goals in a 4-2 win over Brighton, took his league tally to 6 goals this season. As a result, Chelsea enter Matchday 7 sitting 4th with 13 points, just two points behind league leaders Liverpool. Surprisingly, Chelsea’s home form has been less consistent compared to their perfect away record, with 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 defeat at Stamford Bridge, versus three consecutive away victories. So far, Chelsea have netted 15 goals while conceding 7 across their 6 league games.
This weekend, Nottingham Forest travel to London to face an in-form Chelsea side at Stamford Bridge. After narrowly avoiding relegation last season, Forest’s approach this campaign has been commendable, consistently delivering competitive performances despite being underdogs. Last week’s 1-0 home defeat to Fulham marked their first loss of the season, leaving them 10th with 9 points from 2 wins, 3 draws, and 1 defeat. Like their opponents on Sunday, Forest have performed slightly better away from home, earning 7 points from a possible 9 on their travels. Overall, Nuno Espírito Santo’s men have scored 6 goals while conceding 5, with Chris Wood contributing 3 of those goals.
Head-to-Head
Last season, Nottingham Forest triumphed 1-0 in this fixture, while Chelsea claimed a 3-2 victory in the reverse match.
Betting
Chelsea 5/10
Draw 15/4
Nottingham Forest 5/1
Prediction
The Blues seem to have hit their stride and are the team to back at present. With 7 goals in their last two league outings, both won by a comfortable two-goal margin or more, suggesting they could continue this trend over the weekend, despite Forest’s respectable start to the season.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Chelsea -1.5 at 13/10
BRIGHTON v TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR – Click here to bet
Hoping to bounce back from last weekend’s disappointing result, Brighton welcome Spurs this Sunday at the Amex Stadium, looking to restore some pride after their 4-2 defeat away to Chelsea last Saturday. Last week’s result meant that the Seagulls’ unbeaten run of eleven has finally come to an end, also marking their first league defeat of the new season. Despite last week’s hiccup, Brighton currently occupy ninth place in the standings with 9 points, placing them directly beneath Sunday’s opponents, Spurs, by just 1 point. At home, Brighton have featured three times so far this season, having registered 1 win and 2 draws, securing 5 points from a possible 9 in the process. Overall, the Seagulls have managed to score 10 goals while conceding 8 from their 6 league encounters so far.
Tottenham Hotspur, on the hunt for their third consecutive league win, travel to Amex Stadium as a team very much on the rise. Spurs currently sit eighth in the standings with 10 points from 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 defeats. Last weekend’s commanding 3-0 victory away against Manchester United marked the second consecutive league game in which they scored three goals, indicating that Ange Postecoglou’s attacking philosophy is starting to take hold. On the road, Spurs have secured 4 points from a possible 9 while averaging 2 goals per game overall this season.
Head-to-Head
Last season, Tottenham Hotspur emerged as 2-1 winners in the reverse encounter, while Brighton claimed a 4-2 victory in this fixture.
Betting
Brighton 37/20
Draw 3/1
Tottenham Hotspur 5/4
Prediction
Both teams have been involved in high-scoring games this season, with 4 of their 6 league matches producing at least 3 goals. Given that both sides have consistently found the net and the over 2.5 goals market has landed in their last three meetings, a similar trend is expected, with the hope that either side can secure maximum points in a high-scoring encounter.
Suggested Bet: Double Chance And Both Teams To Score, Brighton/Tottenham Hotspur And Yes at 9/10
