Aberdeen vs Celtic

We open the show at the national stadium in Glasgow, where Aberdeen play Celtic before a packed Hampden from 12:30 GMT in a semi-final match broadcast live on television. Aberdeen reached the final of the League Cup late last year and would dearly love to repeat the feat by mixing it in the final of the Scottish Cup. To achieve that, they must better a Celtic side moving in on a league and cup double.

Saturday’s match will be the fourth meeting of the Dons and Bhoys this season, with the pair already serving up a combined 12 goals, including a 1-1 draw at Pittodrie last time. Celtic are the pre-game favourites, and that comes as no surprise after they hammered Aberdeen 6-0 at Parkhead in November. This early kick-off looks like the perfect match for Goals Galore.

Luton vs Brentford

One pick from the two afternoon starts in the English Premier League and we’re backing Goals Galore as Luton hosts Brentford. The home team start the weekend in the relegation zone after losing three of their last four. They did win the spare when beating Bournemouth 2-1 when last at this venue, and another victory could lift them clear of the bottom three.

Brentford sits easily in 15th following a timely four-game unbeaten run consisting of three draws followed by a win. They beat Sheffield United last time out, and after scoring five goals in their last two games, including three at the Emirates Stadium, we have high hopes. Add Luton vs Brentford to your bet to boost the returns.

Stoke vs Plymouth

Dropping a division to the English Championship for one pick and, we take in the action at the home of Stoke City as they welcome Plymouth Argyle. The home team is dangerously close to the relegation zone and will spend the next few weeks nervously looking over their shoulder. But they have the firepower to blast their way out of a tricky situation. Stoke have drawn three of their last four, including a 1-1 at Sheffield Wednesday last weekend.

Opponents Plymouth are one point and two places better off than their hosts and would breathe a huge sigh of relief if they get the win. The visitors arrive unbeaten in three, taking seven of the last nine points available. Will they continue that great form at a vital stage of the campaign? Both teams scored in each of the previous five renewals of this fixture, and that was enough to catch our attention.

Man City vs Chelsea

A thriller from Wembley on Saturday evening as Manchester City plays Chelsea for a place in this season’s FA Cup final. The scene is set for a captivating game, and fans hope the teams will do their bit to live up to expectations. Man City are the current FA Cup holders following a dramatic late treble last season. Will they give themselves the best possible chance of holding onto the prize?

Chelsea face the unenviable task of trying to stop this Man City attack but the Londoners head across the city with confidence following a stunning 6-0 home win over Everton on this week’s Monday Night Football. Saturday’s game will be the third time these teams have met this season, and with a combined ten goals, we’re confident of a few more. The pair gave fans a memorable 4-4 draw at Stamford Bridge in November, and we’d be happy enough with something similar as they renew rivalries.

Wolves vs Arsenal

Let’s wrap things up with a Saturday night game from the Premier League, and we’re promising a classic as Wolverhampton Wanderers host Arsenal at Molineux. There’s lots on the line as the home side keeps pushing hard for a top-10 finish while the Gunners have the title in their sights. Mikel Arteta’s team will want to go one better than last season and win the league. They will increase their chances by collecting three points in Man City’s absence and with Liverpool making a tricky trip to Craven Cottage on Sunday.

The stats associated with Wolves vs. Arsenal make for interesting reading. In the reverse fixture back in early December, the Gunners won by the odd goal in three, with goals from Saka and Odegaard before Cunha hit a consolation. A big game played under the bright lights promises a special occasion, and we’re hoping for goals.
