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.

Villa's top-five push to falter at Molineux

Injuries have contributed to Aston Villa slipping out of title contention. Midfield regulars Youri Tielemans, John McGinn and Boubacar Kamara are badly missed.

They’ve won just two of their last seven league matches. All of those games ended with two or fewer goals in total.

Another tight encounter between these two West Midlands clubs seems likely. Villa edged the reverse fixture by a 1-0 margin earlier in the season. However, Wolves will take confidence from recent home draws against the Gunners and Newcastle.

Four of the home team’s last eight Premier League matches have finished level. They were also goalless for 90 minutes against Crystal Palace last weekend, before losing to a late strike.

Those trends suggest it may be worth backing the hosts to avoid defeat in a low-scoring encounter.
