Welcome to our Saturday football predictions and value bets blog. Here we analyse all the football matches being played on Saturday 23rd May 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.
Check out our routine Saturday football tips below.
Bet Of The Day 🤓
This bet contains one selection that usually holds favourite status in the outright market, but in my opinion, still has value in the odds being offered.
Here are my selections for this Saturday:
-
Valencia to beat Barcelona (home) 8pm
ODDS = 13/5*
Regular readers of this page may well visit early on in the week before the blog post has been updated for the coming weekend. For those looking for a sneak peak at our pick, it is worthwhile checking the bet-slip links for each bet on this page. These regularly get updated before the justifications and content gets written.
Justifications
Valencia v Barcelona
🇪🇸 La Liga 🇪🇸
Barcelona have had the Championship wrapped up weeks ago and with the last home game done and dusted it’s more probable than none in my eyes that Barcelona will down tool. Not necessarily regarding the starting lineup, but certainly the flow and intensity of performances.
Meanwhile Valencia still have a chance of finishing in the European Conference League spot and although they require other results to go their way they definitely need to take care of their own business if they are to have any hope.
As the game is front of the Valencia fans I believe it will be them who will be the more fired up and hungry for the points and so I hold the opinion that although the odds are somewhat reflective of the circumstance in terms of narrowing the odds in the outsiders, I still see good value in them.

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.

Hull to beat Southampton (Wembley) 4:30pm
ODDS = 10/3*
Justification
Hull v Southampton
🏴 Championship Playoff Final 🏴
Despite the Spygate saga looming over their heads, Southampton at this stage are still in the running to face Hull at Wembley on Saturday and although they go in as clear favourites in the bookies eyes, I believe there is good value to be had on Hull snatching the last Premier League spot.
The Saints may arguably have finished off the season stronger than Hull, but they weren’t able to gain a point from the Tigers during the season. Hull beat Southampton 3-1 at home and 1-2 away. Add to that the fact that Hull eliminated 3rd place Millwall from the running and Hull must be coming in to this game (albeit nervy) quietly confident.
