Saturday Football Double Tip

We’ve got two big games to look forward to on Saturday with Cardiff hosting Plymouth in League One and Tottenham facing Bournemouth in the Premier League. Here’s our full betting preview, team news, stats and predictions.

Saturday Football Double
1.8/1

Tottenham vs Bournemouth - Premier League

Tottenham Win

Match Result
3/4

Reason for Tip

Tottenham have registered back-to-back wins in the Premier League and kept clean sheets in both. New manager Thomas Frank could not have wished for a better start, with a 3-0 win over Burnley and an impressive 2-0 victory away at Manchester City. Richarlison has scored twice and assisted once in those games, providing Spurs with a strong attacking platform.

Bournemouth’s season began with a 4-2 defeat at Liverpool, but they responded with a 1-0 win at home against Wolves. However, their midweek 2-0 EFL Cup defeat to Brentford highlighted inconsistency, and now they face an in-form Tottenham side brimming with confidence.

Cardiff Win

Match Result
49/100

Reason for Tip

Two of the three relegated sides from last season’s Championship campaign will go head-to-head at the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday lunchtime, but both clubs have experienced contrasting starts to this new season. Cardiff City sit top of the League One table while Plymouth Argyle occupy 19th place in the standings.

Cardiff have hit the ground running in the third tier after suffering relegation last season, racking up wins against Peterborough, Rotherham, AFC Wimbledon and Luton Town. The Bluebirds have scored 7 goals and conceded just once.

Plymouth meanwhile have managed just one win so far – a narrow 1-0 home success against Blackpool – but have already slipped to four defeats against Barnsley, Bolton, Lincoln and Leyton Orient. A 2nd round EFL Cup loss to Swansea only added to Tom Cleverley’s concerns, and a trip to in-form Cardiff is a daunting prospect.

Cardiff City v Plymouth Argyle – League One

Date: Saturday 30 August 2025 – 12:30
Venue: Cardiff City Stadium
Broadcast: Sky Sports+

Match Overview

Two of the three relegated sides from last season’s Championship campaign will go head-to-head at the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday lunchtime, but both clubs have experienced contrasting starts to this new season. Cardiff City sit top of the League One table while Plymouth Argyle occupy 19th place in the standings.

Cardiff have hit the ground running in the third tier after suffering relegation last season, racking up wins against Peterborough, Rotherham, AFC Wimbledon and Luton Town. The Bluebirds have scored 7 goals and conceded just once.

Plymouth meanwhile have managed just one win so far – a narrow 1-0 home success against Blackpool – but have already slipped to four defeats against Barnsley, Bolton, Lincoln and Leyton Orient. A 2nd round EFL Cup loss to Swansea only added to Tom Cleverley’s concerns, and a trip to in-form Cardiff is a daunting prospect.

Team News

  • Cardiff City: Waiting on a late fitness test for midfielder David Turnbull. Forward Isaak Davies is pushing for a start and may replace Cian Ashford.

  • Plymouth Argyle: Manager Tom Cleverley is expected to revert back to the XI that beat Blackpool, meaning possible recalls for Brendan Wiredu and Matthew Sorinola.

Prediction

Cardiff City win – strong home form, defensive solidity and Plymouth’s struggles on the road make this the likely outcome.

Tottenham v Bournemouth – Premier League

Date: Saturday 30 August 2025 – 15:00
Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Broadcast: Live audio available

Match Overview

Tottenham have registered back-to-back wins in the Premier League and kept clean sheets in both. New manager Thomas Frank could not have wished for a better start, with a 3-0 win over Burnley and an impressive 2-0 victory away at Manchester City. Richarlison has scored twice and assisted once in those games, providing Spurs with a strong attacking platform.

Bournemouth’s season began with a 4-2 defeat at Liverpool, but they responded with a 1-0 win at home against Wolves. However, their midweek 2-0 EFL Cup defeat to Brentford highlighted inconsistency, and now they face an in-form Tottenham side brimming with confidence.

Team News

  • Tottenham: Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Dragusin, James Maddison and Bryan Gil are sidelined. Destiny Udogie and Manor Solomon remain doubtful.

  • Bournemouth: Julian Araujo is suspended. Enes Unal and Lewis Cook are out until after the international break with knee injuries.

Prediction

Tottenham win – Spurs look strong defensively and have momentum, while Bournemouth’s away form remains questionable.
