BTTS Tips: 10/1 five-fold from Saturday’s Premier League and Championship action

We have reached the final footballing weekend before Christmas, so what better way to ring in the festivities than by putting together an accumulator? It's the time of year where you can put your feet up and just sit in front of the TV and enjoy all the sport on offer. 

Having had a good look at the action coming our way on Saturday, I've picked out five selections for a 10/1 both teams to score acca. You will find my BTTS tips below, which come exclusively from the Premier League and EFL Championship.

BTTS Yes in Aston Villa vs Manchester City @ 1/2

Saturday's early kick-off in the top flight pits two teams that were left stunned in the dying stages last week. Both Aston Villa and Manchester City had leads over Nottingham Forest and Manchester United respectively, before conceding twice in a matter of minutes late on in the game.

Villa had been on a two-game winning streak against Brentford and Southampton but now their momentum has been dented. City's poor run continues and they now have just one win in their last 11 matches across all competitions.

The home side will feel that this is a great time to face the Citizens because everything that could possibly go wrong for them seems to be happening right now, so Unai Emery and his players can pile more misery onto Pep Guardiola's side.

However, after the manner of their defeat in the Manchester derby, City will look for an immediate response, similar to the one against Nottingham Forest in which they won 3-0.

I like the look of BTTS here because Villa have managed just two clean sheets in the top flight so far this season in 16 matches, and their defence has been a worrying concern for much of the campaign.

The same goes for City, who have managed just one more shutout than the Villans. BTTS has also been a winning selection in five of the eight games played at Villa Park this term, while also striking in six of the visitor's away trips thus far.

BTTS Yes in Brentford vs Nottingham Forest @ 4/7

Brentford are very much the Jekyll and Hyde of the Premier League this season. They are excellent when playing at home and poor when they are away. The Bees are yet to be beaten at the Gtech Community Stadium, which presents a mammoth task for Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

All eight of the hosts' games here have seen both teams get on the scoresheet, and there have been quite a few goal-fests along the way. They are now to be expected and I think Forest will be no exemption.

The Tricky Trees head here after some late heroics against Villa, and they will be hoping to become the first team to beat Brentford in their own backyard this term. Even if they can't, the records suggest they will most likely grab a goal or two.

BTTS Yes in West Ham United vs Brighton & Hove Albion @ 4/9

There have been signs of improvement from Julen Lopetegui's West Ham United in recent weeks with two wins and a draw, but they have been sandwiched by two poor defeats.

They need to improve their consistency and they will be disappointed that they didn't come away from AFC Bournemouth with three points on Monday after they took the lead with a late penalty. The equaliser was a world-class free-kick from Enes Unal but overall, West Ham gave a respectable performance.

Brighton & Hove Albion suffered a home derby defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace last Sunday, and they will be looking for an immediate response in east London. I think goals at both ends are to be expected here because six of the eight league games at the London Stadium have seen BTTS land.

Equally, six of the Seagulls' away trips in the top flight have seen both sides get on the scoresheet. I'm expecting both trends to continue on Saturday.

BTTS No in Cardiff City vs Sheffield United @ 10/11

Moving down into the Championship, this is where we change the pace. I've been talking up games I think will be entertaining so far, but I don't think the next two will be - for neutrals mainly.

Strugglers Cardiff City welcome league leaders Sheffield United to South Wales on Saturday and they are winless in their last seven. The Blades on the other hand, have won eight of their last 10 in the second tier.

I'm expecting a routine victory for Chris Wilder's side here and I believe they can keep a clean sheet in the process. This season, 13 of their 14 wins have been to nil, including each of their last five.

Cardiff have also failed to score in nine of their of their 20 league games to date, which also includes their last two appearances at the Cardiff City Stadium.

BTTS No in Millwall vs Blackburn Rovers @ 4/5

What a job John Eustace is doing at Blackburn Rovers. Tipped as one of the favourites for relegation this year, they sit fifth in the table and have won six games on the spin.

Five of those victories have seen them keep a clean sheet and I sense this trend can continue at The Den this weekend when they face Millwall, who are searching for Neil Harris' successor.

The Lions have failed to score in each of their last three league games, two of which have come on home soil. Rovers are a much stronger team than them and are in far better form. Their defence is proving difficult to breach so I can't see Millwall succeeding where the likes of Leeds United and Middlesbrough couldn't.
