Nottingham Forest will be aiming to bounce back from a heavy defeat against Bournemouth when they host Brighton in Saturday’s early kick-off. Forest have impressed this season, sitting in 3rd place, but their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed at times. They have seen both teams score in 55% of their home matches, including 2 of their last 3 games at the City Ground.

Brighton, known for their attacking style, have been involved in plenty of high-scoring matches. They have seen BTTS land in 75% of their away league fixtures, making them 1 of the most reliable teams for this market. Their recent form suggests more of the same, with 3 of their last 5 league games producing goals at both ends.

Historically, this fixture has also been goal-friendly, with both teams scoring in 3 of the last 4 meetings. Given Brighton’s attacking mindset and Forest’s ability to score at home, BTTS is a strong bet with brilliant odds.

Liverpool travel to the South Coast to face an in-form Bournemouth side that has been on an incredible run, going unbeaten in their last 12 matches across all competitions. During this period, the Cherries have netted 30 goals, highlighting their attacking potency. With Andoni Iraola’s side playing an expansive, attacking brand of football, it’s no surprise that they have seen both teams score in 61% of their league matches, including 3 of their last 5.

Liverpool, on the other hand, are a team full of goals but also prone to conceding. They have seen BTTS land in 55% of their league fixtures, as well as in 4 of their last 6 matches in all competitions. The Reds have historically dominated this fixture, winning 5 of the last 6 meetings and scoring an astonishing 21 goals in those encounters.

Given both teams’ attacking threats and Liverpool’s defensive vulnerabilities on the road, BTTS looks like a strong selection here.

A crucial relegation battle takes place as Ipswich host Southampton, with both teams desperate for points in the fight for survival. Ipswich currently sit just a point behind 17th-placed Leicester, while Southampton have endured a miserable campaign, picking up just 6 points from 23 league matches. Despite their struggles, both sides have been involved in games featuring goals at both ends.

Ipswich have seen BTTS land in 57% of their league matches, with 2 of their last 4 league games producing goals for both teams. Meanwhile, Southampton have been defensively fragile on their travels, seeing both teams score in 58% of their away games. Their recent form also suggests a high chance of BTTS, with all of their last 3 league games producing goals for both teams.

Given the defensive weaknesses of both sides and the high stakes involved, another BTTS outcome seems likely in this crucial clash.

Saturday’s late kick-off sees Wolves host Aston Villa at Molineux in a Midlands derby with plenty at stake. Wolves, battling against relegation, have been involved in plenty of high-scoring matches this season. They have seen both teams find the net in 65% of their league games, with 3 of their last 6 fixtures also producing BTTS.

Aston Villa, on the other hand, are pushing for European qualification and have been 1 of the most entertaining teams in the league this season. An impressive 70% of their league games have seen both teams score, and this trend has continued in recent weeks, with 3 of their last 4 matches in all competitions producing goals for both sides.

The head-to-head record also suggests an open game, with 5 of the last 7 meetings between these teams seeing BTTS land. Given both teams’ form and attacking capabilities, this looks like another strong BTTS pick.
