ENGLAND: Premier League

12:30 – Aston Villa v Fulham – 1.73 Aston Villa

Aston Villa vs Fulham – Match Preview

Premier League | Villa Park | Saturday | Kickoff: 15:00 (UK)

Aston Villa’s dream of silverware may have crumbled with a 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-finals, but their domestic campaign is far from over. Unai Emery’s men now turn their full attention to the Premier League, where a place in next season’s UEFA competitions remains firmly within reach. However, a 2-1 loss away to Manchester City last time out has added pressure, with Villa now needing to ensure their superb home form doesn’t falter during the season’s closing stretch.

The Villans can lean on their fortress at Villa Park, where they are currently riding a 16-match unbeaten league run (W9, D7), a sequence that began all the way back in September against Everton. This is Villa’s second-longest such streak in Premier League history and another positive result here would see them equal the club record — also set under Emery’s guidance just last year. Notably, they have scored in every one of those 16 games and in 13 of 17 home league matches this season.

While the absence of Marcus Rashford due to injury will limit Villa’s firepower on the flanks, they continue to benefit from Ollie Watkins’ consistent production. The frontman has netted 15 Premier League goals this term, scoring in nearly half of Villa’s matches, and often setting the tone with early goals — four of his strikes have been openers.

Fulham arrive at Villa Park with their own aspirations of a top-half finish and a possible late surge toward European contention. A dramatic 92nd-minute winner against Southampton kept that hope alive, but the Cottagers’ form away from home remains inconsistent. They’ve now lost three of their last four Premier League away matches by a single goal margin and haven’t managed to take a point from Villa Park in their last five visits.

The head-to-head history paints a bleak picture for Marco Silva’s men — Fulham have claimed just one win in their last 20 league visits to Villa (D7, L12), while also losing the last four Premier League meetings with the Birmingham side. Despite this, they do carry a goal threat: Ryan Sessegnon is delivering goal contributions at an elite rate, averaging one every 69 minutes, second only to Mo Salah among players with at least 400 minutes played.

Fulham’s attack has been potent this season, scoring in 15 of 17 away matches. However, they’ve also been vulnerable, conceding in nearly every road game. That volatility makes them dangerous, but also prone to letting games slip — a pattern which has seen none of their last 14 matches finish level.

Key Stats

• Aston Villa are unbeaten in their last 16 Premier League home games (W9, D7).
• Villa have scored in 13 of 17 home league matches and each of their last 13 at Villa Park.
• Villa have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 9 home matches.
• Aston Villa’s last 10 matches all featured over 2.5 goals.
• Watkins has scored in 41% of all league matches and 47% of home games.
• Fulham have scored in 15 of 17 away league games this season.
• Fulham’s last 14 Premier League games have all had a winner (W7, L7).
• There has been at least one first-half goal in each of Fulham’s last 8 away games.
• Fulham have lost their last 5 league visits to Villa Park.
• Fulham have scored 34% of their goals after the 75th minute.

Betting Conclusions

Over 2.5 Goals – YES ?
Both teams are heavily involved in high-scoring affairs. Aston Villa’s last 10 games have cleared the 2.5 mark, and their defensive vulnerability at home (no clean sheets in last 9) combines with Fulham’s consistent away scoring record. The attacking quality on both sides and late scoring tendencies make this a strong candidate for goals.

Both Teams to Score – YES ?
Villa’s leaky backline and Fulham’s ability to score in nearly every away fixture suggest both teams will find the net. Villa have scored in 13 straight home games, and Fulham have done so in 15 of 17 away. With attacking players like Watkins and Sessegnon in form, BTTS looks highly probable.

Goal Before Halftime – YES ?
Villa often start fast, and Fulham have seen a first-half goal in their last 8 away matches. Given Villa’s scoring frequency and Fulham’s defensive lapses on the road, there’s a strong chance this match sees the net ripple before the break.

15:00 – Everton v Ipswich – 1.57 Everton

Everton vs Ipswich Town – Match Preview

Premier League | Goodison Park | Saturday | Kickoff: 15:00 (UK)

A landmark afternoon awaits on Merseyside as Everton prepare for their final 3pm Saturday kick-off at Goodison Park — a venue that has defined generations of English football. With the club set to move to their new stadium on the banks of the Mersey this summer, there’s a mix of nostalgia and anticipation in the air. On the pitch, however, results have been less poetic. Everton are winless in their last five home matches (D4, L1), though they’ve managed to hold both Arsenal and Liverpool in that run.

Their latest home test comes against a relegated Ipswich Town side whose return to the Premier League has proven painfully short-lived. Beaten 3-0 by Newcastle last weekend, the visitors arrive on a four-game winless run (D1, L3) and having conceded 11 goals in that span. With defensive issues mounting and nothing left to play for, Ipswich may look to play with more freedom — though recent shutouts suggest otherwise.

Everton, meanwhile, are seeking their first league double over Ipswich since 1994/95 after a 2-0 win at Portman Road earlier this season. A repeat performance would lift spirits at Goodison, especially given this match marks the penultimate home fixture before the doors close on the Grand Old Lady.

Despite their overall struggles, Ipswich’s away record has been comparatively better. They’ve claimed 14 of their 21 points on the road this season and have fond memories of Goodison, winning on their last two visits — though those came over two decades ago.

In attack, Everton have leaned on Iliman Ndiaye, their top scorer with seven goals, including strikes in both the reverse fixture and the recent draw against Arsenal. Ipswich’s standout has been Liam Delap, who has notched 12 goals and five match openers — though he also tops the league in fouls committed.

Key Stats

• Everton are winless in their last 5 home Premier League games (D4, L1).
• Ipswich have conceded 2+ goals in each of their last 4 league matches.
• Ipswich have failed to keep a clean sheet in 15 straight league games.
• Ipswich have conceded in 16 of 17 away matches.
• Everton have failed to score in 7 of 17 home games.
• Iliman Ndiaye has 7 goals this season; 3 have been match openers.
• Liam Delap leads Ipswich with 12 goals; 5 were the first in the match.
• 67% of Ipswich’s points have come away from home.
• 64% of Ipswich’s goals have come in the first half.
• Ipswich have taken the first card in their last 9 matches.
• Everton’s last 7 games have all featured an even number of goals.
• Ipswich’s last 6 games have all gone over 2.5 goals.
• Everton’s last 8 games have all gone under 2.5 goals.

Betting Conclusions

Over 2.5 Goals – Leaning No ?
Despite Ipswich’s recent involvement in high-scoring games, Everton’s matches have consistently stayed under the 2.5 threshold. Their rigid style and Ipswich’s attacking inconsistency suggest a low-scoring contest is more likely.

Both Teams to Score – Leaning No ?
Ipswich have failed to score in their last two matches and may find it difficult to break through at Goodison. Everton, though inconsistent, have enough to edge a one-sided scoreline, especially against a defence that’s been breached in 17 consecutive away matches.

Goal Before Halftime – Yes ?
Ipswich are one of the quickest-starting teams in the league, with 64% of their goals scored in the first half. Combine that with Everton conceding early in their last three home fixtures, and a goal before the break appears highly probable.

Leicester City vs Southampton – Match Preview

Premier League | King Power Stadium | Saturday | Kickoff: 15:00 (UK)

At the time this fixture was announced last June, many predicted a late-season relegation decider — but few could have imagined just how far both Leicester and Southampton would fall. Fast-forward to May, and this once high-stakes showdown is now a dead rubber between two already-doomed sides trying only to avoid further embarrassment.

Leicester’s season has been nothing short of catastrophic. The Foxes enter this clash rooted to 19th in the table with a mere 18 points — less than half the tally needed for survival — and manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is reportedly set for the axe. Their form at the King Power has been utterly wretched, with nine consecutive home league defeats — all without scoring. That run, which includes 22 goals conceded, could see them join Tranmere Rovers as the only sides in English football history to go ten straight home games without a goal.

Yet, if there’s one team more vulnerable than Leicester, it’s bottom-club Southampton, who are staring down the barrel of an historically poor Premier League campaign. With 11 points from 34 matches and a league-worst 80 goals conceded, the Saints are on course to rival Derby County’s infamous 2007/08 season. They’ve lost 27 league matches already and need at least one point from their final four games to avoid equalling the Rams’ record low.

Caretaker boss Simon Rusk has overseen a slight improvement in terms of points-per-game (0.5), but the Saints remain winless in 10 league fixtures (D2, L8). Their most recent success came on the road against Ipswich — the only other promoted side — offering a glimmer of hope as they travel to face another relegated club.

For Leicester, Bobby De Cordova-Reid remains the last man to find the net at the King Power in the league — and that was back in December. Eight of his last ten top-flight goals have come after half-time, suggesting he’s one for the late moments. Southampton’s Cameron Archer is a similarly important contributor, with a knack for scoring either the opener or the final goal in games — though worryingly for Saints, his last three scoring appearances all ended in defeat.

Key Stats

• Leicester have lost 9 consecutive home league games without scoring, conceding 22 goals in that run.
• Leicester have failed to score in 9 of their last 17 home matches and kept 0 clean sheets in their last 13 at home.
• Leicester have lost 24 of their 34 matches, including 12 home defeats.
• Leicester have conceded the first goal in 29 of 34 league games, and were trailing at HT in 20 of those.
• Southampton are winless in their last 10 matches (D2, L8), conceding in every game.
• Southampton have lost 27 of 34 matches, including 13 away defeats.
• Saints have conceded in 16 of 17 away games, and failed to win in 12 consecutive home games.
• Southampton have faced the most shots (605) and shots on target (234) in the league.
• There’s been at least one red card in each of the last three meetings between these clubs.
• Leicester have won the last 3 H2Hs, scoring 12 goals to Southampton’s 3.

Betting Conclusions

Over 2.5 Goals – YES
Despite Leicester’s lack of goals at home, both teams have been defensive disasters this season. Southampton have conceded 80 league goals and allowed more shots than any other side. Combine that with Leicester’s desperation to end their barren home run and the fact that both teams have nothing to lose — a more open, goal-filled game looks likely.

Both Teams to Score – YES
While neither side has been prolific, both have the attacking players to exploit each other’s crumbling defences. Leicester’s clean sheet drought stretches to 30 games, while Southampton have gone 17 without a shutout. Expect both teams to breach the backlines at least once.

Goal Before Halftime – YES
Leicester have conceded the opening goal in 29 games this season and were behind at half-time in 20. Southampton tend to start fast under Rusk, and with both teams’ defences offering little resistance, an early goal feels likely in a fixture devoid of pressure.

17:30 – Arsenal v Bournemouth – 1.90 Arsenal

Arsenal vs Bournemouth – Match Preview

Premier League | Emirates Stadium | Saturday | Kickoff: 12:30 (UK)

Arsenal are closing in on another top-four finish, and while their title challenge may have faded with the relentless pace set by Liverpool, Mikel Arteta’s men are still determined to finish the season strong. Saturday’s clash at the Emirates against a mid-table Bournemouth side offers a valuable opportunity to add three more points to their tally — and perhaps avenge a rare defeat from earlier in the campaign.

The Gunners come into this fixture on the back of an eight-match unbeaten run in the league (W5, D3), scoring in each of their last seven games and showing great consistency away and at home. At the Emirates specifically, Arsenal have been a difficult proposition — 10 wins and just one defeat in 17 home outings this term. Even though they shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace in their last home game, their attacking play continues to be fluid, with Kai Havertz leading the way with nine league goals, many of which have come at home.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, have quietly pieced together a respectable campaign, sitting comfortably in 10th with 50 points. Despite this, their away form has been patchy of late — four games without a win, and just one victory on the road since mid-February. They did, however, manage a 1-1 draw against Manchester United in their last outing and are unbeaten in their last four overall (W1, D3).

Andoni Iraola’s side stunned Arsenal with a 2-0 victory at the Vitality Stadium back in October, a result that still ranks among Bournemouth’s most complete performances of the season. Ryan Christie and Justin Kluivert were the scorers that day, and with Kluivert (12 goals) and Antoine Semenyo (9) continuing to shine, the Cherries remain a threat in transition — particularly late in games, with 34% of their goals coming after the 75th minute.

However, recent meetings at the Emirates strongly favour the hosts. Arsenal have won all seven of their previous home league matches against Bournemouth and tend to dominate this fixture on their own turf. With the visitors prone to late drama (including a red card in each of their last two matches), Arsenal will look to press early and control the tempo from the outset.

Key Stats

• Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 8 Premier League matches.
• Arsenal have scored in each of their last 7 games and in 14 of 17 away matches.
• Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 12 away games.
• Bournemouth have scored in 14 of 17 away matches.
• Bournemouth are winless in their last 4 away games.
• Arsenal have won all 7 previous home games vs Bournemouth in the Premier League.
• Bournemouth have drawn their last 3 away matches.
• Kai Havertz has scored in 41% of Arsenal’s home matches.
• Bournemouth have seen a red card in each of their last 2 games.
• 71% of Arsenal matches have ended with an even number of total goals.
• Last 3 meetings between these sides have seen a penalty awarded.

Betting Conclusions

Over 2.5 Goals – YES
Arsenal’s home form is consistently high-scoring, and Bournemouth’s away matches tend to open up as well — particularly in the second half. Arsenal have plenty of scoring threats, and Bournemouth rarely keep clean sheets away from home. With both teams averaging over 1.5 goals per game in recent weeks, expect this one to feature three or more goals.

Both Teams to Score – YES
Despite Arsenal’s solid defensive record, Bournemouth have found the net in 14 of their 17 away games and pose enough of a threat with Kluivert and Semenyo. Arsenal have conceded in four of their last five home matches, and with Bournemouth likely to attack late, both sides getting on the scoresheet is a strong possibility.

Goal Before Halftime – YES
Arsenal often start quickly at home, and Bournemouth have a tendency to concede early before coming on stronger late in games. The recent H2H history and both teams’ scoring trends suggest a goal before the interval is likely.
