Football Predictions Saturday

Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham United

The Premier League returns after the most recent international break and we’ve got a London derby to kick things off, as Tottenham welcome West Ham to North London on Saturday afternoon. 

Tottenham looked to have hit some fine form just before the international break, Ange Postecoglou’s side had won five games on the bounce in all competitions before their visit to Brighton in their last outing. Spurs looked set to make it six wins from six when they went into the break 2-0 up but that wasn’t to be when the Seagulls scored three in twenty minutes, ex-Arsenal man Danny Welbeck scoring the winner to rub salt into the wounds. The defeat leaves the Lillywhites ninth in the Premier League, four points off the top four after seven games played.

As for West Ham, they managed to pick up just their second victory in the Premier League this season with a 4-1 thumping over Ipswich Town, the win put a stop to their horrid form of five games without a win in all competitions. There’s still pressure on Julen Lopetegui, a victory over their London rivals on Saturday would give him a bit of breathing space but the Hammers will have to do something they’ve not done since February/March, win back-to-back Premier League games. 

Seven of the last nine competitive games between these two sides have seen both teams find the back of the net, including four of the last five meetings in North London. I think we’ll see Spurs bounce back from their defeat to Brighton with a victory in this one.

Bayer Leverkusen v Eintracht Frankfurt

We should be in for a cracker from the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon as Eintracht Frankfurt travel to the BayArena to face Bayer Leverkusen. 

It’s not been as straight forward this season for Bayer Leverkusen compared to last season’s heroics, Xabi Alonso’s side sit fifth in the Bundesliga after their first six games, they followed up their 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich with another stalemate but this time against the odds, Die Werkself even had a 2-0 lead after eight minutes but were pegged back by newly-promoted Holstein Kiel with the game ending Desmond (2-2). Luckily for Alonso and co, their title opponents Bayern Munich were also held in their last outing by no other than Saturday’s opponents, Eintracht Frankfurt. 

It’s been a really strong start for Dino Toppmoller and his Eintracht Frankfurt side, the Eagles occupy third place in the Bundesliga after winning four of their first six games. SGE are now unbeaten in their last seven games across all competitions, they entered the international break with a 3-3 draw against Bayern Munich thanks to Omar Marmoush’s ninety-fourth minute equaliser. 

Despite going seven games unbeaten, this is going to be a tough ask for Eintracht Frankfurt if their head-to-head stats are anything to go by. The Eagles really struggle at the BayArena, with Bayer Leverkusen taking victory in all of their last ten meetings here, scoring at least three goals in nine of those ten.

Fulham v Aston Villa

Aston Villa will make the trip to West London on Saturday afternoon to face Fulham in the Premier League at Craven Cottage. 

Following their early exit from the EFL Cup to Championship side Preston North End, Fulham had put themselves back on track with back-to-back victories in the Premier League against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest before travelling to face Manchester City. Marco Silva’s side took the lead at the Etihad Stadium before the Champions got a real grip of the game, Rodrigo Muniz did give the Cottagers a little bit of hope in the eighty-eighth minute but ultimately lost the game 3-2, although Silva can be proud of his side’s performance. 

Speaking of managers being proud of their players, Unai Emery definitely was after Aston Villa gave the Villa Park faithful a night they’ll never forget with a 1-0 victory over European giants Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Jhon Duran once again providing a moment of brilliance to give Villa the victory, the twenty-year old Colombian would have been disappointed to be named on the bench for their clash against Manchester United just four days later. It was a real damp-squib of a game between Aston Villa and United, Villa played well below par and produced just one shot on target, frustrated for Emery as he knew that Manchester United team could have been there for the taking. 

Aston Villa have dominated this fixture in recent years, they’ve won five of the last six competitive meetings between the two teams, I think Villa should be able to get the job done in this one with a narrow win.

Ipswich Town v Everton

Portman Road is the venue for this one as Ipswich Town take on Everton in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. 

Ipswich Town remain one of four teams in the Premier League yet to pick up a victory, Kieran McKenna’s side have drawn four of their seven games so far but couldn’t build on their 2-2 stalemate with Aston Villa, as they travelled to West Ham in their last outing but fell to a 4-1 defeat in East London. The Tractor Boys have never gone eight games without a win at the start of any of their top-flight participations, they’ve taken a point in their last two home games, only Liverpool have won here so far this season.

After a really tough start for Everton, the Toffees are now unbeaten in their last three games (W1, D2). Sean Dyche’s side played out a goalless draw against Newcastle United just before the international break but the Blues haven’t won away from home since December 2023, fifteen away games ago. If Everton are looking to stay in the top-flight for another season, these are the type of fixtures that you feel they’ll need to take all three points from.

These two sides haven’t met since 2002, I wouldn’t be surprised if we witness another draw here given Ipswich have drawn four of their last five games, the same has occurred in two of Everton’s last three games, close encounter expected.

Manchester United v Brentford

Brentford will travel to Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon to face Manchester United in this Premier League clash.

After their humiliating 3-0 defeat on home soil to Tottenham Hotspur, the media speculated that Erik ten Hag had two games before the international break to save his job. A 3-3 draw away to Porto was followed up with a goalless draw at Aston Villa just three days later, which looks to be enough for INEOS to hold fire for now. That doesn’t take away the fact that Manchester United are winless in their last five games across all competitions but also sit fourteenth in the Premier League after their first seven games, something needs to change and rapidly for the Red Devils.

Brentford head to Old Trafford looking for another quick start, they’ve scored within the opening 80 seconds in each of their last four Premier League games. Thomas Frank’s side went into the international break off the back of a 5-3 victory at home to struggling Wolves, although the Bees are yet to pick up a point on the road in the Premier League, they’ve lost all three of their away games albeit to sides such as Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.

Times are tough right now for Manchester United but I still think they should have enough to edge this one, Brentford have visited Old Trafford three times before and are yet to leave Manchester with a single point.

Southampton v Leicester City

An early-season relegation battle as Southampton welcome Leicester City to St Mary’s Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. 

Southampton are another of the four sides in the Premier League that are yet to pick up a victory, Russell Martin’s side have had the worst start from the three newly-promoted sides, not only have they picked up just one point so far, the Saints are also the lowest scoring side in the league, notching up just four goals so far. It’s worrying times for Southampton as they look to put a stop to their rotten Premier League results, they’ve not won any of their last twenty top-flight games.  

By contrast, Leicester City are the best of the newly-promoted sides so far this season but only thanks to their 1-0 victory over Bournemouth just before the international break. The Foxes have a chance here to make it back-to-back victories in the Premier League for the first time since February 2023. 

Leicester have good recent memories against Southampton albeit in the Championship, the Foxes beat the Saints here last season 4-1 before following that up with a 5-0 home victory back in April. We could be in for a few goals in this one, given five of the last six meetings between these two sides have produced at least three goals.

Bournemouth v Arsenal

Arsenal will travel to the South Coast to face Bournemouth in the Premier League’s evening kick-off on Saturday night.

Bournemouth would have welcomed the international break given Andoni Iraola’s side had lost three of their last four games in the Premier League, most recently away to Leicester City. The Cherries created a lot of chances in that defeat but could only manage two shots on target despite their seventeen attempts. It’s been quite an average start to the campaign for Bournemouth, they occupy thirteenth place with a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats from their first seven games, they need to be at their best to defy the betting odds in this one.  

Unlike their opponents, the international break probably came at the wrong time for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal, the Gunners are flying at the moment having won all of their last four games, including that 2-0 victory over PSG in the Champions League. Those Arsenal faithful could be a little worried about their injury list ahead of this one, with Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz set for a late fitness test, whilst Martin Odegaard remains sidelined. 

Arsenal should be very confident head to the South Coast, not only are they in fine form, the Gunners have won eight of their last nine meetings against Bournemouth, you have to go back to 2018 for a Cherries win in this fixture. Away win in this one as Arsenal look to keep the early pressure on at the top.

Bayern Munich v Stuttgart

Stuttgart make the trip to the Allianz Arena on Saturday evening to face Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. 

After a very strong start for Bayern Munich under Vincent Kompany, the Bavarians have just had a little bit of a wobble and the international break might have been a welcomed break. Following their stalemate with current Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen, Kompany’s side fell to a 1-0 defeat in the Champions League against Aston Villa before squandering three points away to Eintracht Frankfurt by conceding in the 94th minute. The Reds will be looking for a convincing victory in this one to keep their place at the summit. 

It was always going to be a struggle for Stuttgart to keep up the level of performances from their last campaign but despite sitting eighth in the league, the Swabians have still only lost one of their first six games. The frustration for Sebastian Hoeneb will be the fact his side haven’t been able to build on that impressive 5-1 victory over Dortmund las month, they’ve drawn all three of their competitive games since that victory, game which they went into as the strong favourites. 

Stuttgart won the last meeting between these two sides but before that, you had to go back to 2018 for a Stuttgart victory. Bayern Munich have won ten of their last thirteen meetings in Munich, they’ll be hoping to bounce back in this one and keep that record going.

Juventus v Lazio

We’re in for a fascinating clash from Serie A on Saturday evening, as Juventus welcome Lazio to the Allianz Stadium. 

Life under Thiago Motta has started positively for Juventus, they remain the only side in Serie A yet to lose a league game. They’ll be looking to start strongly after the international break, the Old Lady were left frustrated prior to the break when they were held to a 1-1 draw on home soil to Cagliari, despite being the heavy favourites. The goal conceded in the 88th minute was also the first goal Juve had conceded in the league this campaign, they’ll be without the talented Franciso Conceicao for this one following his red card in the same game.

Like their opponents, Lazio have also started strongly under Marco Baroni, they sit level on points with Juventus prior to this meeting and they Eagles have found some good form early on, winning all of their last four games across all competitions. However, there will still be a bit of caution heading into this one given that Lazio have lost two of their three away games in Serie A to Udinese and Fiorentina. 

All nine of Lazio’s games across all competitions this season have produced at least three goals, with both teams scoring in eight of them. Despite the solid back line of Juventus, we could still be in for a few goals here.  Juventus will be confident knowing they’ve not lost to Lazio in their last seven games on home soil, taking victory in six of them.

Paris Saint-Germain v Strasbourg

Strasbourg travel to the Parc des Princes on Saturday evening to face Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1. 

Paris Saint-Germain entered the international break off the back of a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League and then a stalemate away to Nice, a result which has left the Parisians second in the table and two points behind leaders Monaco despite not losing a league game in their first seven of the campaign. Luis Enrique’s side must now show their character as they look to get things back on track here against Strasbourg, they’ve lost just one of their last seventeen league games on home soil.

A lot of people were surprised when Liam Rosenior was relieved of his duties at Hull City, the Englishman took on a new challenge by taking over the reins at Strasbourg and he hasn’t disappointed. Le Racing are currently seventh in Ligue 1 after their first seven games, they’ve lost just once so far this campaign and recently became the first side to take all three points off high-flying Marseille. They’ve impressed me so far but are in danger of becoming Ligue 1’s draw specialists at this early stage. 

You have to go all the way back to 2017 for the last time Strasbourg beat PSG in any competition, they’ve taken the win in nineteen of their last twenty-one meetings on home soil against Le Racing, I think we’ll see them extend that record.

Celta Vigo v Real Madrid

La Liga provides us with a very interesting clash on Saturday night as Celta Vigo meet Real Madrid at the Estadio de Balaidos in Vigo. 

Celta Vigo have started the season a lot better than many people expected, Claudio Giraldez’ side are currently ninth in the league having won four of their first nine games. It’s been an entertaining start if you’re a Celta fan, given that six of their nine games so far have produced at least three or more goals, they’ve also picked up some good results on home soil, winning three of their five games in Vigo. 

Real Madrid were very disappointing in their recent Champions League trip to Lille, they did bounce back just before the international break though with a 2-0 victory against Villarreal, although it wasn’t all good news with Dani Carvajal set to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. This is an important game for Los Blancos, they welcome Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona to Madrid in their next two fixtures, heading into those games with a victory here could be vital. 

Real Madrid have won all of the last eight meetings between these two sides and are unbeaten against Celta Vigo in their last sixteen games. I’m expecting both teams to find the back of the net in this one given it’s happened in ten of the last eleven head-to-heads in Vigo, but I fancy Real Madrid to edge it on the night.
