Saturday Football Predictions & Value Odds

Welcome to our Saturday football predictions and value bets blog. Here we analyse all the football matches being played on Saturday 16th August to find value across the betting markets.

The main focus for consistency purposes will be on the outright markets, but we will of course highlight any value we spot in the alternative markets, for example, both teams to score, anytime goal scorer etc. We like to normally build our own bets for the televised matches we plan on watching. Early bet builders will also be included in this blog.

We look at all the popular leagues and cups across Europe including the lower leagues to create a variety of multiple and single bets.

Justifications

Crewe v Crawley

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 League Two 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Crewe have started the season brightly, winning their opening two games to put them top of the table. They have won home and away scoring five times and conceding only once.

Crawley have started the polar opposite. They have lost their opening two matches. Crawley have lost both home and away, scoring one goal and conceding five.

Crewe have beaten Crawley on the last five occasions they have hosted them. Therefore, odds above evens for the home side seems like very good value, in my opinion.

If you haven’t used William Hill before they are well worth taking a look at. The app appears right up there in our best betting apps list. Navigation is great, prices are reasonable across the board and there’s always an offer or two to take advantage of.

long Shot Single 🤞

This bet is high risk and comes with high odds when taking in to account it is just a single bet. It will include a big underdog that I believe has the ability to produce a giant killing. Let’s face it these upsets happen all the time. How many times has your acca been busted because a sure fire selection turned sour? Well here I’m searching to find the acca buster and bet against the favourite.

Burnley to beat Tottenham (away) 3pm

ODDS = 7/1*

Justification

Tottenham to beat Burnley

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Premier League 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The pressure will be on for Tottenham here in front of their own fans. A new manager and team with a lot to prove after the disappointments from last season. The fans will be looking for an immediate turnaround, especially playing their opening fixture against a team that have just come up from the Championship. That pressure may well hinder performance.

Burnley on the other hand will be coming in to this game not only from a ‘nothing to lose’ perspective, but also with the confidence that they can get something from the game. As far as league games go, Burnley are 33 matches unbeaten and have win their last five on the bounce. Okay they were against Championship teams and there have been some wholesale changes, but that is still an impressive record and must put belief in the club that they belong in the Premier League.

I agree that Tottenham should be favourites coming in to this fixture, but I’m not sure Burnley should be drifted out as far as 7/1. This will be a much closer affair than the odds suggest, in my opinion and I see the value being with the away side.
