Our Soccer Predictions for the Week

Please find below our soccer tips for the week:

• Tip 1 - Bet on EPL
• Crystal Palace vs Luton Town - Saturday 9 March
  • In the upcoming match between Crystal Palace and Luton Town, expect a high-scoring affair with more than 2.5 goals. Crystal Palace's recent home games in the Premier League have consistently exceeded this goal total. Luton Town, on a four-game streak without a win, is likely to contribute to a goal-rich encounter, especially in Oliver Glasner’s latest home match strategy.
• Tip 2 - Bet on EPL 111
• Aston Villa vs Tottenham - Sunday 10 March
  • Expect both Aston Villa and Tottenham to find the net in their upcoming clash (GG). Historically, the last couple of encounters between these sides have seen goals from both teams. Given their attacking playstyles and vulnerability in defense, a similar scenario to their previous North London meet-up is anticipated.
• Tip 3 - Bet on the Bundesliga
• Bayer Leverkusen vs Wolfsburg - Sunday 10 March
  • Bayer Leverkusen is poised for victory against Wolfsburg. Under Xabi Alonso’s leadership, Leverkusen is relentlessly advancing towards the Bundesliga crown. Leverkusen’s momentum suggests they’ll secure a win against the team currently in 13th place.
• Tip 4 - Bet on Italian Serie A
• Fiorentina vs AS Roma - Sunday 10 March
  • The Fiorentina vs AS Roma match is likely to be a goal-scoring event (GG). With Danielle De Rossi at the helm, Roma has been accumulating consistent victories. While the upcoming match in Florence will challenge them, it's expected to be rich in goals.
• Tip 5 - Bet on La Liga
• Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo - Sunday 10 March
  • The Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo match is likely to see Real Madrid triumph with a total exceeding 1.5 goals. As the current leaders in La Liga, Real Madrid is determined to maintain their lead, and their track record of seven consecutive wins against Celta Vigo bodes well for another victory.

How do soccer predictions work? Understanding the basics

Soccer predictions are derived from previous matches and other important factors. Some of these factors include but are not limited to:

• team analysis,
• player analysis,
• manager analysis,
• weather conditions and,
• statistical analysis.

Soccer predictions aren't always correct as upsets occur even against highly favoured teams. Using accurate predictions as a part of your betting plan will increase your overall betting experience. Additionally, these predictions offer insights that help you understand soccer better, making your betting experience more enjoyable and satisfying.

One of the most important points to note is that soccer betting should never be looked at as another stream of income for you. Soccer predictions and betting will always carry a risk so there is no guarantee that you will always win. It should always be a source of enjoyment and fun. Punters should always practise responsible gambling.

Use Soccer Predictions for Premier Soccer League

The PSL is very popular among local punters with predictions available on all matches. The Premier Soccer League has proven very difficult to predict the winners due to most teams being very evenly matched.

Most of the matches are low scoring affairs therefore the under 2.5 goals bet wins much more than the over 2.5 goals. This means the total goals in the match are 2 goals and below most of the time.One of the safest bets in the PSL is backing Sundowns to win as they have been champions the past five years.

Use Soccer Predictions for English Premier League

The EPL predictions are arguably the most popular as there are millions of fans in South Africa.The football predictions for the EPL heavily favour the home team on the day but there are always upsets on the cards.

The league is very high octane with plenty of goals scored in every match. One of the bets with the Premier League predictions that win most often is the BTTS( Both teams to score) as clean sheets are not very common in the league. Handicap betting is popular when a strong team is facing a much weaker side eg. Manchester City vs Luton Town.
