Saturday Football Accumulator Prediction
West Ham vs Everton
It is a six-point relegation battle between West Ham and Everton on Saturday at the London Stadium. Depending on the result either David Moyes or Frank Lampard could be sacked following the fixture.
Neither side is in form ahead of this massive fixture in the Premier League. West Ham are 18th in the league table with one point separating them from safety. Everton, on the other hand, are 19th in the standings and also one point away from safety.
Everton took one point from the last six games in the Premier League. Meanwhile, West Ham picked up one point from their last six games.
Moyes could have new signing Danny Ings available for Saturday’s game. The Hammers signed Ings on Thursday for £15 from Aston Villa. Ings’ signing comes just months after Moyes added Gianluca Scamacca from Sassuolo for £35.5m.
The last six games between these teams were divided into three wins apiece. Everton won 1-0 at Goodison Park earlier this season thanks to a single goal from Neal Maupay in the first half. The last two games between these sides ended as home wins. Based on the disarray Everton are experiencing on and off the pitch, our betting tips prediction is for West Ham to win at home.
Southampton vs Aston Villa
Southampton qualified for the Carabao Cup semifinals with a 2-0 win over Man City a week and a half ago. The Saints followed up the Carabao Cup win with a 2-1 win at Everton to make the relegation fight even murkier.
Aston Villa are in good form with three straight matches ending without defeat. Unai Emery’s team is in good form with 13 points tallied in their last six games.
Southampton took just three points from their last six games. They scored six goals and conceded 14 times. The Villains scored 11 goals and conceded seven times.
The home team has won the last three games between Southampton and Villa. The Villains won at home earlier this season against Southampton under manager Steven Gerrard by a score of 1-0, as Jacon Ramsey scored in the opening half.
Are Southampton ready to make a move out of the relegation zone? Our betting tips prediction is to play this one safe with a double chance Southampton win or Aston Villa win.
Leicester City vs Brighton
Leicester City posted a record of 3W-1D-2L across the last six games against Brighton. The home team is unbeaten in the last four games between these teams, which could give Leicester City a boost.
Brighton smashed Leicester City earlier this season at the Amex by a 5-2 score. The Seagulls are rolling and scoring goals. There were over 2.5 goals scored in Brighton's last eight Premier League games. Four of the last five games between Leicester City and Brighton in all competitions finished with over 2.5 goals.
Two of Leicester City’s last four games ended with over 2.5 goals. The Foxes are on a two-game losing streak and Brighton are on fire. The Seagulls are seventh and on a two-game winning streak. The Foxes are just two points off the relegation zone and struggling once more.
Leicester City have conceded 33 times this season which is the third-most this season. Our betting tips prediction is for over 2.5 goals.
Watford vs Rotherham
In the Championship, Watford are third in the standings and are 11 points off second-place Sheffield United. The hiring of Gianfranco Zola has helped Watford after the blow-back the club received following the sacking of Rob Edwards earlier this season.
The Hornets are on the road to the promotion playoffs as they welcome Rotherham on Saturday to Vicarage Road. Watford are on a two-game winning streak in the division.
Rotherham can only wish they were fighting for the promotion playoffs. The Millers are 19th in the league. They picked up just four points from their last six games. Only four points separate Rotherham from the relegation zone.
Watford are unbeaten in six straight games against Rotherham. Five of those games ended as wins, but the reverse fixture between these teams finished 1-1. Watford are a better team now than they were against Rotherham earlier this term.
Our betting tips prediction is for Watford to pick up a win at full-time at home. Seven of Watford’s 12 wins in the Championship have come at home.
Cardiff City vs Millwall
Millwall’s recent form has seen them fall out of the top six in recent weeks. The Lions took eight points from the last six games in the league.
Cardiff City are 21st in the league and outside the bottom three courtesy of a mere three points. The Bluebirds took five points from the last six games. Five of their last six games ended as draws.
Three of the last six games between these teams finished as draws. However, Millwall won their last two matches versus Cardiff City. Those games were played at home. Cardiff City are unbeaten in three straight games at home.
Millwall are not in good form going into the game on Saturday. The Lions are struggling on the road in the Championship with a record of 3W-3D-7L. Cardiff City have drawn each of their last three home games. Our betting tips prediction is for a double chance Millwall win or draw.
The Lions are a better team, but Cardiff City are picking up draws at the moment at home. In addition, the Bluebirds are unbeaten at home in three straight games against Millwall.
