Premier League Betting Tips: Top picks for October 18

Tip of the day

The Premier League returns this weekend after yet another competitive international break. We've examined the data and form to find three excellent predictions for October 18, 2025. Our top choices and justifications are listed below.

Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea – Chelsea To Win @ ~65 % probability

Chelsea enter this match in better shape, with more consistency away from home than Forest have at home. Forest have had a difficult start to the season and struggled to maintain momentum, especially against stronger sides. Chelsea, while not without flaws, have the firepower to break through their opponent’s defence. We expect Chelsea to take all three points.

Brighton vs Newcastle United – Both Teams to Score (BTTS) @ ~60 % probability

Brighton and Newcastle tend to produce open, attacking matches. Both sides have enough attacking quality to find the net even on away trips, and each has shown defensive vulnerabilities this season. With both teams rarely being ultra-defensive, BTTS looks a realistic outcome here.

Fulham vs Arsenal – Arsenal Over 1.5 Goals @ ~70 % probability

Arsenal should be able to dominate possession and create chances, even without a full complement of stars. Fulham have had difficulty against top teams, particularly conceding multiple goals at home. We believe Arsenal will score at least two in this one, making “over 1.5 goals (Arsenal side)” a strong bet.

FAQ

What is the Tip of the Day?

The Tip of the Day is our top pick for the day. It could be a single, double, treble or even an accumulator—whatever offers the best value we can find. We look at fixtures across different leagues, form, statistics, head-to-head records and market trends to make our selection. While we aim to bring you tips with good odds and solid foundations, no bet is guaranteed—so always gamble responsibly and only bet what you can afford to lose.

What makes our Tip of the Day different?

Choosing the Tip of the Day isn’t random—it’s research and analysis. Our team look at the days fixtures in football, horse racing, tennis and other sports to find strong betting opportunities. We look at team form, player statistics, injuries, motivation and even market movement to narrow it down to the best option. Only when we’re confident the bet offers value do we make it the tip of the day.

What Do We Look for in Our Tip of the Day?

Our Tip of the Day isn’t about chasing the longest odds or the biggest wins—it’s about finding bets that offer real value with a realistic chance of winning. To do this we dive into the numbers: recent team or player form, home vs away performance, injuries, head-to-head records and the wider context of the fixture. We also track market movement and compare bookmaker prices to make sure the tip is available at good, competitive odds. The result is a balanced selection that gives our readers confidence and value.

What Price Do We Look For With Our Tip of the Day?

With our Tip of the Day we look for the sweet spot between value and winning. We usually look for prices that aren’t too short to make the bet unappealing but not so long the risk outweighs the reward. Most of the time our tips fall in the evens to 3/1 range (2.0 – 4.0 in decimal odds) but we don’t limit ourselves to that range if the research points to value outside of it.
