With the bookies making Wanderers favourites in the match betting market.<\/p>\n<p>And a defeat for the Hammers will pile more pressure on manager Nuno Espirito Santo in the\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/premier-league-sack-race-betting-odds-2025-2026\/\">Premier League sack race betting odds<\/a> market.<\/p>\n<p>Brighton and Burnley also clash at 3pm. Which is a H2H that has seen a stack of draws over the years (see below).<\/p>\n<p>Then at 5:30pm, we see league leaders Arsenal travel south to Bournemouth and with the Cherries doing the double over the Gunners last season they will be looking for the upset.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you are having a wager on Saturday&#8217;s big games &#8211; see our quick-fire stats-based Premier League betting tips, which will hopefully point you in the direction of a few winners.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest 12:30<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Both Villa and Forest will be hoping to get back to winning ways after defeats in their last games.<\/p>\n<p>With Villa getting thumped by league leaders Arsenal and Forest losing to Everton.<\/p>\n<p>Villa are still sitting pretty in third in the league though and still very much in the mix for a top four finish, where the bookies make them as short as 1\/2.<\/p>\n<p>While, as a result of losing their last three league games, Forest are down to 17th and just one place off the relegation slots. But are still 12\/1 to be relegated.<\/p>\n<p>The match odds favour Villa at 4\/5 and having lost only one league home game this season, that actually looks fair value.<\/p>\n<p>Especially as Forest have only won one on the road.<\/p>\n<p>This repeat clash last season ended 2-1 to Villa, plus the home side are unbeaten vs Forest in their last NINE at Villa Park.<\/p>\n<p>The last time Forest beat Villa away was in the Premiership in 1994.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams scored in the last three H2H&#8217;s too and also saw Over 2.5 Goals, so BTTS (yes) or 3+ goals &#8211; both a 4\/5 might appeal.<\/p>\n<p>However, this looks a game to just keep it simple and snap up the 4\/5 on a Villa win and inflict a fourth straight league defeat on Forest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEST BET: ASCOT VILLA WIN @ 4\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Match Odds<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle-o\" style=\"color:#f11d33\"><\/i> Aston Villa 4\/5<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle-o\" style=\"color:#f11d33\"><\/i> Draw 5\/2<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle-o\" style=\"color:#f11d33\"><\/i> Nottm Forest 7\/2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Brighton vs Burnley 15:00<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With just one league win on their travels, then it&#8217;s no shock to see Brighton as the big favourites at 1\/2 to see off Burnley.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the Clarets have lost seven of their nine away league matches this season, whereas the Seagulls have only lost one at home, which came against Villa.<\/p>\n<p>Brighton have also defeated City at home this season and have become a tough side to beat in front of their home fans.<\/p>\n<p>This will be the first time the sides have played this season and last met in the 2023\/24 season, with both clashes that term ending 1-1.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, despite being 11\/2 in the match odds, Burnley fans might remind us that they&#8217;ve got a fair record against Brighton.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ve only lost ONE of their last six vs Brighton &#8211; so the 13\/8 on Burnley\/Draw in the &#8216;Double Chance&#8217; market might appeal.<\/p>\n<p>1-1 has been a popular scoreline too when these sides meet, with 50% of the last eight going this way, which can be backed at 8\/1.<\/p>\n<p>While with a massive TEN of the last 15 H2H&#8217;s ending all-square this is a massive 67% return if you think the sides will share the points again.<\/p>\n<p>Brighton look the obvious call here, but with their strong drawing record &#8211; then the value has to be the 10\/3 on another stablemate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEST BET: DRAW @ 10\/3<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Match Odds<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle-o\" style=\"color:#f11d33\"><\/i> Brighton 1\/2<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle-o\" style=\"color:#f11d33\"><\/i> Draw 10\/3<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle-o\" style=\"color:#f11d33\"><\/i> Burnley 11\/2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Wolverhampton Wanderers vs West Ham 15:00<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Wolves are still hunting their first league win of the season, but with home advantage and taking on a West Ham side also struggling &#8211; the bookies are saying this might happen.<\/p>\n<p>Wanderers are put in here as the 6\/4 favourites in the match odds betting market. With the Hammers 7\/4 and the draw 9\/4.<\/p>\n<p>West Ham have also only won one game on the road this season and you feel a loss here and the next <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/next-west-ham-manager-betting-odds\/\">West Ham manager betting odds<\/a> market is going to get a lot of interest.<\/p>\n<p>With former manager Slaven Billic the favourite to replace <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The sides met earlier this season in the League Cup too, with Wolves winning that 3-2 at home.<\/p>\n<p>Plus Wanderers also won this repeat fixture last season 1-0.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, 1-0 Wolves has been a popular correct score that has popped up in THREE of the last four repeat fixtures.<\/p>\n<p>So, at 17\/2 their could be some value in having a small interest here.<\/p>\n<p>Four of the last five H2H&#8217;s (all comps) also went OVER 2.5 GOALS, which is on the table at 10\/11.<\/p>\n<p>While these sides don&#8217;t tend to draw when facing each other &#8211; the last 17 (all comps) had a result with the last stalemate in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, in a tricky game to call, Wolves could easily get their first league win of the season.<\/p>\n<p>But the OVER 2.5 GOALS option at 10\/11 looks a slightly safer call.<\/p>\n<p>A bet that&#8217;s paid out in 80% of the last five H2H&#8217;s &#8211; in a match that really could go either way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEST BET: OVER 2.5 GOALS @ 10\/11\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Match Odds<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle-o\" style=\"color:#f11d33\"><\/i> Wolves 6\/4<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle-o\" style=\"color:#f11d33\"><\/i> Draw 9\/4<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle-o\" style=\"color:#f11d33\"><\/i> West Ham 7\/4<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Bournemouth vs Arsenal 17:30<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Arsenal remain odds-on to win the Premier League title at 8\/15, after City dropped points with a 0-0 draw against Sunderland last time.<\/p>\n<p>Next up for the Gunners is another very winnable game as they travel to Bournemouth. Who haven&#8217;t won in their last TEN.<\/p>\n<p>The Cherries last won in Oct, when beating Forest 2-0 at home, but have drawn four of those ten.<\/p>\n<p>They will face an Arsenal side that have lost only twice in the league this season, but Bournemouth will know both these defeats came on the road.<\/p>\n<p>While the south coast side will also remind Arsenal fans they did the DOUBLE over the Gunners in the league last season.<\/p>\n<p>With this clash ending 2-0, which can be backed again at a massive 40\/1.<\/p>\n<p>But with the Cherries struggling to win at the moment and Arsenal flying high, it&#8217;s hard to see the Londoners slipping up here.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the 1\/2 does look a tad skinny.<\/p>\n<p>So, with six of the last seven (86%) of recent H2H&#8217;s (all comps) going OVER 2.5 GOALS, this is how we are going to play this one at 4\/6.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEST BET: OVER 2.5 GOALS @ 4\/6\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Match Odds<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div class=\"su-list\"
