Rudger's Tips History
27 April 2025
16:30 Liverpool v Tottenham
Draw
100 WIN
@7.00
Lose
-100
Liverpool only need a draw. I think if, and it's a big if, Spurs have one of their better days, they can come away with that point too. Odds are very good.
14:00 Bournemouth v Man Utd
Bournemouth
500 WIN
@1.70
Lose
-500
Manchester United are rubbish and very Jekyll and Hyde. Bournemouth are excellent when they play at home. United will struggle playing at the tight ground.

15:00 Brighton v West Ham
Brighton
500 WIN
@1.70
Win
350
Graham Potter returns to The Amex with his West Ham United. Basically, the team is giving up. Performances lately have been bang average at best. Brighton are still in the European picture, even though it does feel a little distant. At home, they will create more chances.
15:00 Newcastle v Ipswich
Newcastle
500 WIN
@1.18
Win
90
Cannot see Ipswich Town causing a shock. With Newcastle chasing the Champions League and with this massive support at home, I see a big win for The Magpies.
15:00 Southampton v Fulham
Fulham
500 WIN
@1.67
Win
335
Southampton are down, whilst Fulham are playing for league position and seeing where it could place them. Fulham often produce many chances, and I see more for them against a weak home defence.
15:00 Wolverhampton v Leicester
Wolverhampton
500 WIN
@1.53
Win
265
Leicester are down already. Pressure is off, but the team spirit is low. Wolves have won some games lately and will be confident of adding to Leicester City's poor statistics. Home advantage will also help Wolves.
12:30 Chelsea v Everton
Chelsea
500 WIN
@1.57
Win
285
Everton's record at The Bridge is awful. Chelsea need this in their quest for the Champions League. Although they are not playing great, Everton are in a bit of free fall. With their away record here, I see a home win.

20:00 Stoke v Sheff Utd
Draw
163 WIN
@3.30
Lose
-163
Sheffield United arrive not in a great frame of mind, losing out on automatic promotion. Stoke know a single point could be invaluable in their quest for safety. A share of the spoils.

20:00 Arsenal v Crystal Palace
Arsenal
500 WIN
@1.40
Lose
-500
Both teams are playing this game with an eye on their next fixture. Palace have less time to prepare for their FA Cup and could rest a couple. Saka will be missing in preparation for the Champions League Semi-final, but with home advantage and the vociferous crowd, I see another home victory.

20:00 Man City v Aston Villa
Man City
500 WIN
@1.87
Win
435
Manchester City are slowly improving and have fought well recently, especially at home. A good win at Everton is vindication of this. Aston Villa may be counted as unlucky in Europe and secured a great win over Newcastle, but on the road, they struggle to beat the better teams.

20:00 Tottenham v Nottm Forest
Nottm Forest
500 WIN
@2.70
Win
850
Can't see this one being a goal fest. However, Spurs have a big European date coming up and may well rest a few. Forest are chasing a European dream for next season, so I think they will beat Spurs, who are often fairly generous with poor performances lately.
17:30 Burnley v Sheff Utd
Sheff Utd
50 WIN
@4.33
Lose
-50
I'm going to go for a surprise away win. Sheffield United are more than capable of a win. Gustavo Hamer has been outstanding lately, and he can lead them to a win in a must-not-lose match.
15:00 Cardiff v Oxford Utd
Cardiff
500 WIN
@1.91
Lose
-500
On Friday, Cardiff played Sheffield United, and I thought they performed well for an away team at Bramall Lane. A repeat performance will, I'm sure, beat a lesser team, and I feel they should beat Oxford, who do not travel.
15:00 Hull v Preston
Hull
359 WIN
@2.00
Win
359
In recent home matches, Hull City have shown plenty of fight. Although considerably fortunate, I feel, to get a point against Coventry City, they did. But Preston North End are no CCFC, and they will allow Hull to play. Home win.
15:00 Leeds v Stoke
Leeds
With Stoke City all but safe, they will probably allow Leeds United the opportunities to gain the win to get them back into the Premier League once more. Home advantage as well.
15:00 Luton v Bristol City
Luton
For a team third from bottom, Luton Town have given themselves a chance to remain in this division with some real fighting spirit. Bristol City are in a good run also but struggled to beat Sunderland, who played with 10 men for 83 minutes. A vital home win today.
15:00 Millwall v Norwich
Millwall
Millwall, up to Friday, were in decent form and are just outside the playoff positions. Norwich are in freefall and are already on the beach after a bad loss at home to Portsmouth.
15:00 Plymouth v Coventry
Coventry
500 WIN
@1.75
Lose
-500
Both have a lot to play for. Plymouth were unlucky to have a point taken away from them when the referee awarded Middlesbrough a very late penalty in controversial circumstances and will no doubt be still reeling from the injustice. However, Coventry City were excellent in beating WBA, who were well beaten.
15:00 Portsmouth v Watford
Portsmouth
Portsmouth, I think, have now won ten of their last fifteen matches and are coming off a resounding success at Norwich. Another win will probably guarantee next season in the Championship.
15:00 QPR v Swansea
Draw
500 WIN
@3.30
Lose
-500
If I was going to predict a draw in the Championship in today's fixture, this one would be high on my list. QPR are difficult to beat at home, and Swansea City have become a very tight defensive unit. Not a lot between these two teams.
15:00 Sheff Wed v Middlesbrough
Draw
250 WIN
@3.50
Lose
-250
I think a draw is a stronger possibility. Middlesbrough were very fortunate to beat Plymouth last time out in dubious circumstances, and Sheffield Wednesday have been terrible lately. I think personal pride will inspire them and the home crowd to at least a point.
15:00 Sunderland v Blackburn
Sunderland
250 WIN
@1.83
Lose
-250
Somehow Blackburn found where the back of the net is. It's been hiding from plenty of their games recently. However, I don't think winning at The Stadium of Light is likely, as the hosts are trying to find some momentum going into the playoffs.
15:00 West Brom v Derby
Draw
250 WIN
@3.50
Lose
-250
Coventry City were excellent in beating WBA on Friday. WBA cannot repeat that performance and will be desperate for a slip-up from teams directly above them. Derby County are desperate too for Championship survival and may just have enough for a point.

16:30 Leicester v Liverpool
Liverpool
Leicester are a sad reflection of the team they once were. Liverpool have all but won the league title, and with the announcement of star players staying, I'm sure the Reds will win yet again.
14:00 Fulham v Chelsea
Fulham
At The Cottage, Fulham have produced many fine performances. Chelsea are not playing well at the moment, struggling mid-week against average European opposition. Home advantage will be a major factor.
14:00 Ipswich v Arsenal
Arsenal
Ipswich Town are all but relegated. Arsenal will rest a few, no doubt, but the semi-final in the Champions League means they have a lot of momentum.
14:00 Man Utd v Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton
Manchester United are not playing well even though they won in Europe. A team in disarray against Premier League opposition. Wolves are rested.
Subtotal750

17:30 Aston Villa v Newcastle
Draw
500 WIN
@3.70
Lose
-500
A draw for me. Both are chasing the European dream for next season, so I expect both to cancel one another out.
15:00 Brentford v Brighton
Brentford
Brentford were very spirited at The Emirates recently. I expect Brighton to cause problems, but with home advantage, The Bees will be difficult to overcome.
15:00 Crystal Palace v Bournemouth
Draw
Selhurst Park is another ground difficult to play at for opponents. Bournemouth have discovered a new strength, and I feel they can share the spoils today.
15:00 Everton v Man City
Man City
David Moyes has definitely instilled some inner belief. They do fight for him. City do have more quality, and I expect to see an away win.
15:00 West Ham v Southampton
West Ham
With Southampton's status confirmed and relegated from the Premier League, I expect West Ham United to win by at least two or three. The away supporters will be minimal. Home fans will be demanding a performance.

17:30 Sheff Utd v Cardiff
Sheff Utd
Sheffield need a result badly, as they chase a top two finish. They have far more quality than Cardiff and are the perfect opponents to be playing.
15:00 Bristol City v Sunderland
Draw
500 WIN
@3.40
Lose
-500
Sunderland are safely in the playoffs but need to remain in form as it will be difficult to snap out of poor form. Bristol City need to maintain momentum in the playoff chase.
15:00 Coventry v West Brom
Coventry
Frank Lampard has instilled some confidence into his team. This is a massive game on the edges of playoffs. Sheaf is back into the team, and he is a good leader for the Sky Blues. Home win with the massive support behind them.
15:00 Middlesbrough v Plymouth
Middlesbrough
Plymouth do not travel well, and it's a long journey to the North East. Middlesbrough cannot afford to drop any more points in their quest for playoffs. I think a home win is a strong possibility.
15:00 Norwich v Portsmouth
Draw
112 WIN
@3.75
Lose
-112
Norwich have little to play for, complete opposite to Portsmouth. I think they can come away from Carrow Road with at least a point.
15:00 Stoke v Sheff Wed
Stoke
Sheffield are not finishing the season in much form. Stoke, however, are desperate for a result and will want it more. Mark Robins is a wily manager and should be able to guide this team to safety.

CCFC can really solidly position in playoffs with a win. Simms and Wright back leading the line will represent the best attack the team has.

Leicester are arguably the worst team in the league. They can't score a goal and are up against a decent Brighton team desperate for a win.

20:00 Coventry v Portsmouth
Coventry
500 WIN
@1.67
Win

Expecting a strong reaction from Coventry City. Burnley were hanging on, however good they have been. A dodgy referee did not help their cause. Portsmouth can expect a strong reply, slipping out of the promotion playoff picture, so Coventry will be extremely determined.
20:00 PSG v Aston Villa
PSG
500 WIN
@1.50
Win

PSG showed some pedigree when beating Liverpool. Without Mbappe and Messi, PSG are a team that play for one another. Too good for Villa, especially in Paris.

Leicester are going to be relegated. There is impetus in Newcastle United as they chase a Champions League spot. Leicester are doomed, players are down.

At home, Brentford are an excellent team that can cause the best teams problems. Chelsea, on their day, can cause issues, but they are very inconsistent and on their travels do show a lot of weakness.
14:00 Tottenham v Southampton
Tottenham
500 WIN
@1.42

Tottenham need a result. The Chelsea fixture was a massive disappointment for Spurs when it felt like the officials were also against them. As the fans began to rebel, the team needs their backing today. I think against the worst team in the league, they will get a good win for their under-pressure manager.

17:30 Aston Villa v Nottm Forest
Aston Villa
Midlands derby, but it will be a crazy atmosphere. Rashford is on an amazing run at the moment. I feel he will get chances.
15:00 Crystal Palace v Brighton
Crystal Palace
Palace are really playing well, especially at home. The FA Cup run has given the whole club a massive lift. Brighton appear to be suffering from the opposite after losing in the FA Cup.
15:00 Ipswich v Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton
Ipswich Town's dream is nearly over, and it's been a big disappointment. Wolves know one more win and they should be safe.
15:00 West Ham v Bournemouth
West Ham
Bournemouth have lost their mojo. It's flatlining for them. I think West Ham will really fancy this, especially at home.

Boro has lost twice this season to Rovers already. However, the form tables have turned, and whilst Blackburn are on a dreadful run, Boro are the opposite, closing in on a playoff place.
