Without further ado, let’s get stuck into my Matchweek 7 predictions. Now that you’re up to speed on last weekend’s results and this weekend’s odds, you are more than ready to lock in your Premier League picks.
Premier League Matchweek 7 Predictions and Picks
From a betting perspective, there are plenty of intriguing Premier League matchups to target this weekend. With heavy favorites, big underdogs, and tight contests on the cards, we should be able to land a tasty profit.
My Matchweek 7 predictions concern two Saturday clashes and the Super Sunday showdown between Forest and Brentford. If the recent form guide is anything to go by, one of those games should be a straightforward home win.
Okay, I’ve made you wait long enough. Here are my Premier League Matchweek 7 predictions and picks, with some useful statistics sprinkled in for good measure.
West Ham United vs. Sheffield United Prediction
Sheffield United endured a humiliating 8-0 thrashing at the hands of Newcastle last weekend, facing a barrage of 22 shots while managing a solitary attempt on target. As a result, the Blades find themselves at rock bottom of the Premier League after six matches.
In fact, Paul Heckingbottom’s men have failed to taste victory in the league this season, recording one draw and five losses. The Blades also possess the worst defensive record in the division, averaging 2.8 goals against per game this term.
On the flip side, West Ham occupies seventh place in the standings after taking 10 points from a possible 18. Since the Hammers have already seen off Chelsea, Brighton, and Luton this season, I’m backing them to make light work of struggling Sheff Utd.
Best Bet: West Ham United (-211)
Aston Villa vs. Brighton & Hove Albion Prediction
Sixth-placed Aston Villa trails third-placed Brighton by three points in the Premier League table, suggesting that Saturday’s showdown will be an entertaining encounter battle between two attacking teams.
The Seagulls are the top scorers in the division, having netted 18 goals in six outings (three goals per game). Thanks to last weekend’s 3-1 victory over Bournemouth, Roberto De Zerbi’s men have bagged over 2.5 goals in five of their six league clashes this term.
On the other hand, the Villains have won four of their last five Premier League matches, scoring over 2.5 goals in three of those victories. When you couple Villa’s form with Brighton’s recent record, all the signings point towards a high-scoring thriller here.

Nottingham Forest vs. Brentford Prediction
Nottingham Forest and Brentford are separated by a solitary point in the standings, with the Tricky Trees holding a narrow advantage over the Bees. It is also worth noting that both sides have conceded nine goals this season.
Steve Cooper’s side has been immense on home soil since gaining promotion in 2022, losing just five of their 21 Premier League games at the City Ground. Meanwhile, Brentford has suffered eight defeats in 21 away matches during the same period.
Although Brentford heads into Monday Night Football as the marginal favorite, Thomas Frank’s men have managed to win just one of their six league outings this term. With the home-field advantage on their side, Cooper’s men will back themselves to upset the odds.
