Wolves v Blackburn Bet Builder 🧱 @ 4.09

The Championship is finally back

Wolves v Blackburn
Today
20:00

Mateus Mane could be a real standout player for Wolves in the Championship this season having impressed in the second half of last campaign in what was a pretty poor season for the Wanderers overall.

Wolves have managed to keep the 18 year old despite heavy interest from Premier League clubs, highlighting the talent and ceiling of Mane who scored three goals across 19 starts in the top flight last term from 42 shots (2.11 per 90).

We saw this shot volume again in Wolves’ 3-0 win over Port Vale in the cup with Mane taking four shots. He could be a bit more accurate with these efforts as only 17 found the target last season (0.85 per 90), but the volume is promising enough to back him for an effort on target here - especially seeing as he’s as short as 1.1 for 2+ shots.

I’m quite surprised that Wolves have been able to keep Andre for this campaign. He was one of their more consistent players last term alongside Joao Gomes in midfield, who has departed to join Aston Villa.

Andre’s quality on the ball is paired with a tenacity that sees him get through quite a lot of work in the middle of the park. He committed 47 fouls across 30 starts in the Premier League last season, working out to an average of 1.53 fouls committed per 90.

His main opponent here is likely to be Todd Cantwell, who won 52 fouls across his 22 starts in the Championship last season (2.26 per 90). Cantwell is likely to be Blackburn’s main attacking threat in this game so Andre will have to keep a close eye on him.

We’ve had a chance to see both of these sides in competitive matches already this season in the first round of the EFL Cup.

Both sides saw 3+ goals in those games, with both covering the line we need here on their own in victories over Burton and Port Vale.

Those were obviously lower league opponents and games that these sides were expected to win, but I can see Wolves covering this line on their own - as they have done in their last three matches.

Both sides also saw very high xG tallies in those cup ties, both allowing their opponents to register an xG of 1.75 or higher which may suggest a bit of defensive vulnerability at both ends.

Only Derby (109) and Hull (115) picked up more yellow cards in the Championship last season than Blackburn (100 - 2.17 per game).

Any side that travels to take on Wolves in the Championship this season will expect to spend a lot of time without the ball, given the quality that the Wanderers have in the squad and style of play that Cesar Peixoto wants to employ.

Wolves can be pretty feisty as well having committed more fouls than any other side in the Premier League last season, ranking second for that metric in the season prior.

Blackburn committed 14 fouls in their cup win over Burton last time out, and were very fortunate to avoid a second caution after Todd Cantwell was cautioned early on.

I expect Wolves to get off to a strong start here in what should play out to be a successful season following relegation from the Premier League.

Wolves have kept key players like Mateus Mane and Andre, as well as adding crucial experience through Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez which should help them be a competitive side at the top end of the Championship.

Blackburn only avoided the drop by five points in the Championship last term and haven’t really addressed many of the issues that left them in that situation.

Tony Mowbray is a capable manager at this level, but I do have concerns about if he’s got the right tools to be as effective as he has been across previous stints at other Championship clubs.

Arsenal v Man City
Sunday
15:00

This is quite a generous price for one of the most consistent players in the Premier League when it comes to registering shots on target.

Semenyo has been impressive during pre-season for Enzo Maresca’s side, registering an assist in all three friendlies and finding the target in two of these games.

He’s played on both wings during the pre-season campaign and is crucially two footed - meaning that Semenyo is just as likely to find the target on his left foot as he is on the right.

Semenyo scored the second most non-penalty goals in the Premier League last season, only behind Erling Haaland, from a shot output of 83 (2.33 per 90), seeing 49% of these efforts find the target (1.15 per 90).

BTTS has landed in four of the last five head to head meetings between these sides, despite this meeting usually being quite a tight contest.

I would expect it to be a bit more open on this occasion given that both sides will still be without key players, especially defensively which opens up the opportunity for goals at both ends of the pitch.

Arsenal have seen BTTS in all four of their friendly matches ahead of this tie, conceding against the likes of Girona, Dortmund, Betis and Como while Enzo Maresca’s side have also seen BTTS in all three of their friendly matches.

Matheus Nunes is set to continue at right back under Enzo Maresca, though his role may change slightly with the former Chelsea manager usually liking one of his fullbacks to invert during the first stage of build up.

Nunes is really suited to this role having previously played as a midfielder at Wolves, and Pep has left Maresca a player who is now also really comfortable in that usual right back role when City are without the ball.

Nunes has committed a foul in each of City’s last two head to head meetings with Arsenal, including when the sides met at Wembley in the EFL Cup final.

His overall average in the Premier League last season isn’t that appealing (0.53 fouls per 90), but his direct opponent in Christos Tzolis should force a rise in these numbers.

Tzolis was the best player in the Belgian Pro League last season and is effective in 1v1 situations, winning 1.73 fouls per 90 across his 34 starts in the Belgian top flight last season.

Arsenal’s overall approach to games won’t change too much this season, and that means we will see the Gunners utilise set pieces once again as a key part of their attacking style.

They’ve signed another excellent corner and free kick taker in Christos Tzolis, giving Arteta another option from set pieces to be creative when the likes of Rice and Saka are unavailable - which may be a more frequent occurrence this season given his many games the duo played last year.

Arsenal racked up five corners when the sides met in the Premier League earlier this year and averaged 5.68 corners per game in the Premier League last season.

Sheffield United v Birmingham Bet Builder 🧱 @ 3.99

Birmingham should be aiming for a top 8 finish this year

Sheffield Utd v Birmingham
Tomorrow
17:30

Jay Stansfield scored 10 goals in the Championship last season, and I think he’s capable of exceeding that tally this term.

He took 93 shots in the Championship last campaign (2.53 per 90), seeing 29 of these efforts find the target (0.79 per 90).

He was playing just behind the striker at times last term and Davies played him off the left in Birmingham’s win over Swansea in the EFL Cup last time out.

He still gets in decent shooting positions from these roles, he managed more touches in the box than any other player against Swansea (5) and took two shots - one of which went narrowly over the bar.

Tanganga picked up a yellow card in both head to head meetings between these sides last season, committing 2+ fouls in one of the matches.

He’s a very physical defender and will look to leverage that strength against a Birmingham frontline which isn’t the most physical.

Tanganga picked up 10 yellow cards and one red card in the Championship last season from 51 fouls in total. This works out to an average of 1.23 fouls committed per 90 across his 42 starts in the division.

Christoph Klarer is quite a reckless centre back, collecting eight yellow cards and one card in the Championship last season.

He picked up these cautions from 40 fouls in total, working out to an average of 0.93 fouls committed per 90. He’ll be facing up against a front two here, so he will be a busy man throughout the contest.

Klarer committed a foul in Birmingham’s win over Swansea in the EFL Cup last time out and picked up a yellow card in both head to head meetings between the sides last season - committing 2+ fouls in both matches.

Birmingham ended last season quite strongly and have avoided defeat in each of their last nine matches, including pre-season friendlies.

They rode their luck a bit in their 1-0 win over Swansea in the EFL Cup last time out but have recruited well over the summer with notable additions including Solis, Fry and Beadle to improve the squad as they look for a spot in the playoffs.

Sheffield United have just lost Gustavo Hamer, one of their most influential players last season, and notably only managed to win nine of their 23 home games in the Championship last season.

Watford v Southampton Bet Builder 🧱 @ 4.48

Southampton should be in the race for promotion again this season

Watford v Southampton
Sunday
13:30

Leo Scienza was one of the best players in the Championship last season and Southampton have done well to keep him amid interest from the Premier League and other top leagues across Europe.

Scienza ended the 25/26 season with 17 goal contributions in the Championship, exceeding his combined xG + xA of 13.1. Seven of Scienza’s goal contributions were goals, coming from 84 shots in total (3.13 per 90), seeing 37 of these efforts find the target (1.38 per 90).

Scienza’s shot volume is particularly promising when looking to back him for an effort on target here, he managed four shots in Southampton’s win over Colchester in the EFL Cup last time out - highlighting again just how often he takes aim.

Caspar Jander is another player in this Southampton side that probably has the quality to play in the Premier League and gets through quite a lot of work in the middle of the park for the Saints.

He committed 45 fouls across his 32 starts in the Championship last season (1.48 per 90), also averaging 6.25 defensive contributions per 90 as well as 3.32 tackles per 90. These metrics show just how much work Jander gets through in the middle of the park.

Jander committed a foul in the most recent head to head meeting between the sides, with Southampton committing 10 fouls in that game - a tally consistent with their foul average in the Championship last season (10.5 per game).

The meeting between these two at Vicarage Road last season produced four goals as the sides played out a 2-2 draw.

Southampton’s games towards the end of last season were really entertaining, seeing 3+ goals in each of their last nine games of the campaign across all competitions.

Southampton are one of the few sides in the Championship that have a degree of continuity from last season having kept Tonda Eckert and a lot of their key players, so I expect this trend to continue here.

Watford saw 57 goals across their 23 home games last season (2.47 per game), and notably saw 3+ goals in two of their friendly matches ahead of the new season.

Only Sheffield United (304) and Middlesbrough (333) won more corners in the Championship than Southampton (276) in the Championship last season.

Tonda Eckert’s side averaged 5.75 corners per game in the second division, and usually end up with a healthy corner count as a result of their overall dominance - which is present over most sides in the division.

Watford conceded 5.17 corners per game in the Championship last season. Southampton recorded exactly five corners when they visited Vicarage Road last term and I’d expect them to come away with a similar corner count this time around.

Southampton came flying out of the blocks this season, kicking off with a composed 2‑0 victory over Colchester in the EFL Cup, which only added to the confidence gained from three straight preseason wins.

Tonda Eckert’s side held their own against Watford in both league meetings last season, including a hard earned point away at Vicarage Road. Across their away fixtures last year, the Saints came away unbeaten in 69 percent of those trips.

Watford, by contrast, looked patchy throughout preseason and needed a stoppage time winner deep into the 99th minute just to squeeze past Crawley in their own first round cup tie. With that uncertainty hanging over the hosts, Southampton have every chance of leaving with at least a draw.

What Is a Bet Builder?

A bet builder allows you to combine multiple selections from the same match into a single bet. You can select a simple bet builder with just a few markets, such as a player to be carded, a team to win, and over 2.5 goals, or you can push the boat out a bit further and go for a long list of markets.

The odds given for the bet builder will be a reflection of the combination of each leg landing. A bet builder combines selections from the same fixture, unlike an acca, which combines bets from different matches.

Today's Bet Builder Tips

We cover bet builder tips across the week for every major competition, and our content is structured across key leagues and tournaments.

Premier League Bet Builders

Premier League bet builders can be quite diverse with so much data available on teams and players. There tends to be quite a range of bets taken on player fouls, fouls won, shots, and shots on target.

New markets are consistently being added as well, such as player shots created and player tackles. Premier League bet builders tend to be focused on a specific matchup, particularly when a defensive player will be up against a tricky winger.

Champions League Bet Builders

Champions League bet builders tend to take a slightly different angle. There can be quite a large gulf in quality between opponents during the league phase, while you also get some mammoth fixtures between the top European sides.

For these matches, bet builders tend to be more card-focused, as teams don’t want to make a mistake. In more one-sided matchups, goalscorer markets are one to target.

EFL Bet Builders

EFL bet builders tend to be more focused on team markets, as coverage is not as diverse as the Premier League. Referees also tend to be a bit more lenient compared to the top flight, but games are much more scrappier. That makes player foul markets particularly appealing, but not necessarily cards.

European Leagues Bet Builders

Bet builders across the top European leagues can vary quite significantly. La Liga bet builders tend to be more focused on fouls and cards, as games can be quite intense, especially between rivals.

Bundesliga bet builders lean more on shots and goalscorers, as matches are often a bit more open with chances at both ends of the field. Ligue 1 and Serie A are a bit less consistent, so bet builders in these leagues can vary quite a lot, with a mixture of team and player markets.

Andy Robson's Bet Builder Tips

Andy Robson is one of the most respected voices in the UK sports betting community, with over a decade of experience. His reputation is built on research-led tipping that prioritises genuine value over high-volume output.

Every selection in his builders is backed by specific data, a clearly defined matchup angle or a well-evidenced statistical pattern.

Andy's bet builders typically run between three and five legs, in the odds range of 3/1 to 5/1 for safer builders, and 10/1 or more for longshots.

He concentrates primarily on the Premier League, Scottish Football and the Champions League, where he can really use his wealth of experience and knowledge to find value in the markets.

Best Bet Builder Tips This Week

Highest-Rated Bet Builders

Our highest-rated builders are the ones where every leg carries both statistical backing and a clear narrative. It is not enough for a selection to only have favourable historical data - we also need to consider the matchup and whether the data is relevant for this specific fixture.

We consider the opponent, direct matchup, referee and game context. When the data and narrative align, our confidence is high for these bet builders.

Best Value Bet Builders

Value means finding selections where the odds on offer exceed the true probability of the outcome landing. A leg priced at 2.0 implies a 50% probability - if our analysis suggests the actual likelihood is closer to 60%, that represents value for us to take advantage of.

Safest Bet Builders

The safest builders are the simplest ones - they typically only feature two or three legs at short individual prices. These produce a modest return, but there is also less risk with fewer legs to lose and lower odds, which will increase the overall win rate.

How We Build Our Bet Builder Tips

Our Tipster Panel

Our bet builder content is produced by a panel of experienced tipsters, who offer different angles to approach each fixture.

Ramis Ibrahim has a background in sports analysis and focuses primarily on player markets - fouls, cards, and shots. He is adept at identifying strong individual matchup angles that the odds haven't fully accounted for.

DB Spots Trends specialises in analysing how players and teams tend to play in certain scenarios, and using the numbers to confirm whether a bet might be good value or not. His focus is always on looking to exploit inefficiencies in the market.

Grant Heaney draws on years of watching and writing about football with statistical analysis to carefully select his bets. He covers all of Europe’s major leagues, with a particular passion for the SPFL.

Our Approach to Track Record

We do not currently publish a live profit and loss tracker, and we would rather be transparent about that rather than quoting a specific accuracy percentage.

However, each bet is heavily researched with the reasoning included, so you can evaluate the quality of the thinking yourself.

Responsible gambling is central to our approach - only bet what you can afford to lose, and use the tools available through your bookmaker to set limits if needed.

How We Use Data

Our tipsters draw on a range of data sources, with figures coming from Opta. We offer various tools such as the Bet Builder Stats, Accumulator Stats, Bet Pack Competition Centres, and our Match Centres to help easily see whether a bet is good value or not, and whether it is worth taking.

Best Bet Builder Markets

Best Player Markets

The four player markets that feature most consistently in bet builders are anytime scorer, shots on target, player assists and player cards. Anytime scorer works best when a player is in good form, takes penalties and faces a weak defensive opponent.

The focus here is usually on attacking players; Shots on target can target a broader range of players - sometimes even defenders if they have a strong matchup, or a physical advantage from set-pieces.

Player assists suit wide players and set-piece takers in games where a team are likely to dominate possession. Player cards can be a lucrative market when you have a fullback defending a direct winger, or simply a defensive player who loves to fly into challenges.

Best Team Markets

Team markets are a lot broader than player markets, and the most common things to back are match winner prices, total goals, total corners and total cards. It can be more difficult to find value in match winner and total goal odds, but this is where analysis of specific game context and injuries becomes particularly handy.

Corners become a market to target in games which are likely to be more open, or dominated by one side, whereas cards are the opposite. When a game is expected to be cagey and tightly contested, you are more likely to see the dark arts coming into play - cynical fouls and time-wasting, which makes cards a target.

Markets to Combine Carefully

Correlation is an important concept in bet building, and you can use it to increase your odds without asking for too much more. For example, if you’re targeting a fullback to commit fouls against a winger who goes down easily, you can combine fullback fouls with winger fouls won, which will boost the odds. You can often get these selections treated as independent outcomes by the bookmaker.

With that being said, it’s not advisable to stack selections for bigger markets, such as a player to score and over goals. If you back a striker to score, and his team to also score over 2.5 goals, the odds won’t change very much as the relationship between the two markets will be accounted for.

Build a Bet Builder Yourself

Building a bet builder well is a skill, and these five steps cover the essentials:

Choose your fixture first. Start with a game you have a strong view on, understanding team news, referee and recent form.
Understand how odds combine. A three-leg builder at 2.0, 2.0 and 2.0 returns 8.0 if the selections are genuinely independent. Odds typically multiply for the final price, and if they don’t, you may have some correlated bets.
Keep it to legs you can justify. A three-leg builder where every selection has a clear reason is almost always better than a five-leg builder padded out with marginal additions. Every extra leg increases your chance of losing.
Shop around for the best price. Different bookmakers price the same legs differently. One bookmaker may be offering better odds for your selections in a bet builder, which can be an indication of value on offer.

Use our Bet Builder Tool to get started.

Bet Builder Offers and Boosts

What Is Bet Builder Super Sub?

Bet Builder Super Sub is a promotional feature that allows your bet to continue even if your player is substituted. If you back a player to have a shot on target, and he is replaced after 60 minutes on a blank, then the bet will roll over to his replacement, giving you an extra 30 minutes to get over the line.

Bet Builder Insurance Explained

Bet builder insurance is a promotion where the bookmaker refunds your stake if your builder loses by exactly one leg. It is popular because it removes frustration from being let down by one leg.

Bet Builder Price Boosts

A price boost means the bookmaker has increased the odds on a specific bet builder. These are usually pre-built, meaning they can be a bit of a trap as some bet builders can still be poor value even after the boost. However, sometimes these price boosts present genuine opportunities. A genuinely good price boost has consistent data to back it up, as well as a favourable matchup.

Bet Builder Tips FAQs

How do bet builder odds work?

Each leg in a bet builder has individual odds, and the bookmaker multiplies those odds together to produce a combined price. A two-leg builder at 2.0 and 3.0 would return 6.0 if the legs are independent, but the bookmaker may shorten that price if the outcomes are correlated.

Are bet builder tips free?

Yes - all tips published on this page are produced by our panel, and they are free to read. Expert tips contain heavily researched betting selections to allow you to make your own decisions on whether you agree with the bets.

Who are your bet builder tipsters?

Our panel currently includes Ramis Ibrahim, DB Spots Trends and Grant Heaney, each of whom specialises in different competitions and market types. Andy Robson also produces regular bet builder content with a focus on the Premier League, SPFL and Champions League. All tipsters have their own author pages where you can read more about their background and approach.

How often are tips updated?

Tips are published throughout the week in line with the fixture schedule. Our busiest publishing days are Friday, Saturday and Sunday, when the majority of Premier League and EFL fixtures take place, with Champions League content published midweek.

What is the difference between a bet builder and an acca?

An accumulator combines selections from multiple different matches, whereas a bet builder combines multiple markets from the same single match.

How many legs should a bet builder have?

For most people, three to five legs is the sweet spot, as this allows you to boost the odds without taking on too much risk. Having too many legs means there is too much that can go wrong, while having only two legs often doesn’t seem worthwhile for a bet builder.

Can you cash out a bet builder?

Most bookmakers that offer bet builders also offer cash out on them, but it varies. Check the terms before placing if cash out is important to your strategy.

Do all bookmakers offer bet builders?

Most major UK bookmakers offer a bet builder feature, including bet365, Sky Bet, Paddy Power, Betfair and William Hill. The range of available markets varies between operators, so it is worth comparing platforms if you have a specific market or competition in mind.
