Having slipped up at Aston Villa last weekend, Nottingham Forest will be looking to keep the chasing pack at bay in this one, as they take on David Moyes’s improving Everton at the City Ground. Elsewhere on Saturday, Southampton will be looking to adjust to life post Ivan Juric, as they host high-flying Aston Villa, while Brighton will be looking to inflict even more misery on lowly Leicester City.
Nottingham Forest vs Everton – Nottingham Forest to win
23/20 at Rhino Bet
It has been an incredible season for Nottingham Forest, but Nuno Espirito Santo’s men need to push on in the final weeks of the campaign. Next up is a tough looking home clash with Everton, a side with increased resilience under David Moyes and who continue to carry a decent goal threat this term. All of the heat is on Forest in this one, with some big sides breathing down their neck if they were to slip up once again. Everton revel in their role of party pooper on a weekly basis and should make this tough but Forest look decent value to pick up all three points with most EPL betting sites.
Southampton vs Aston Villa – Aston Villa to win
8/15 at Betzone
Aston Villa continue to battle away on three fronts this season and with results last weekend going their way, they are very much in the hunt to land a place in the Champions League next season too. For the Villains, it looks to be one game at a time, with the small matter of a Champions League last 8 tie with PSG to manage before and after this one but they should travel to Southampton full of confidence. Saints could be a different beast here, with Ivan Juric shown the door following their relegation but Villa are full of confidence, and they should swat aside the challenge of Southampton in this one.
Brighton vs Leicester City – Brighton to win
1/3 at Rhino Bet
Losing to Crystal Palace is never what Brighton fans want to happen from a season but with the Eagles managing to get the better of them in controversial fashion last weekend, Brighton will be desperate to bounce back against Leicester City. The Seagulls are slipping out of the conversation to finish inside the European places this season, but they remain a very good side on their day, especially in front of their home fans. For the Foxes meanwhile, a return to the Championship feels increasingly imminent and they will be looking to salvage some pride in this one, with Ruud van Nistelrooy a man seriously under the pump. Brighton need a win, and they should get one without issue here.
