What is the Bet of the Day?

The bet of the day is either a single, double, triple or accumulator that our expert has selected, based on a number of factors including form and statistics.

How do we select our bet of the day?

Finding the best value bet out there can be tricky given the vast amount of matches and markets available, thus we assess all of these and sort through to find the best bet with the strongest value.

What do we keep an eye out for in our bet of the day?

The most important thing we look out for is the value that each bet provides. We are looking for bets that not only have a good chance of coming in, but also picks that hold great value.

What are the odds of the bet of the day?

We never choose a specific price for our bet of the day, but in general, we attempt to choose those bets that are around a price of evens (1/1 or 2.0) and above.

Misfiring Villa to fall short in crunch clash

Aston Villa’s season is at risk of falling apart, with a 2-0 defeat at bottom club Wolves the latest setback. The team is missing vital midfielders Youri Tielemans, Boubacar Kamara, and John McGinn.

Those injuries have contributed to a run of just two wins from eight Premier League matches. All of those games ended with two or fewer goals in total. Villa scored just five times across that period.

This situation is a positive sign for Chelsea, whose three defeats under Liam Rosenior so far have all come against Arsenal. They’ve won eight and drawn two from their other 10 games in all competitions since the change.

Backing the Blues to avoid defeat in a low-scoring contest is at value, with Villa likely to be content with a draw.
