19:30 Crystal Palace v Aston Villa

Aston Villa

50 WIN

@2.40

Open

I have to go with Villa tonight despite Palace being a bogey side for them. But Palace are in poor form, and Villa are in great form and are in with a chance of winning the title. They might end that poor run against the hosts tonight.

19:30 Man City v Brighton

Man City

50 WIN

@1.50

Open

The hosts will be looking to bounce back from tonight after throwing away two points here against Chelsea last weekend. Brighton will give them a game tonight, but I expect a home win to make up for last Sunday.

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.42

Open

As we can see from the difference in the odds, tonight should see goals and overs too. The last ten meetings have averaged 3.6 goals per game.

Yes (BTTS)

Both Teams to Score

50 WIN

@1.55

Win

Again, here I am with the bookies as I have already gone with overs, which has happened in their last ten meetings. BTTS has landed in the previous three meetings.

Erling Haaland

Anytime Goalscorer

50 WIN

@1.44

Win

I think Erling is due a goal tonight. He wasn't really firing last Sunday against Chelsea, and he was hitting form again before Sunday.

Lu Haotian

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.29

Open

I have to go with the favourite here. There are over 50 places between them in the rankings. Doherty is a real blast from the past and now plays in the seniors competitions.

Ken Doherty 2.50

Handicap Betting

50 WIN

@1.75

Open

This is a big positive handicap here, so I will go with this selection as some cover. I just noticed Doherty beat a good player ranked 69 the other day here 5-4, so it might be closer than I thought tonight.

Lu Haotian to win 5-3

50 WIN

@2.00

I will add this selection with another big gap between the two players in the rankings. They met once 18 months ago; Xu Si won 5-1 and should win comfortably tonight.

17:30 Napoli v Verona

Napoli

50 WIN

@1.35

-50

Home win here for me tonight in Italy, with the champions looking to pour more pressure on their Milanese rivals in the title battle. The visitors should struggle tonight as they are fighting a relegation battle.

06 January 2026

20:00 West Ham v Nottm Forest

Nottm Forest

50 WIN

@2.38

Win

A massive six-pointer relegation battle here tonight. Both sides are under pressure, but the Hammers are fresh from an awful performance and heavy defeat at bottom-side Wolves last weekend. Forest, too, are under pressure, losing four on the bounce. It's likely to be close, but Forest to edge it for me.

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.95

Win

Unders is slight favourite and it might happen with both sides in poor form, especially the hosts, who lost 3-0 to Wolves. But the hosts have to bounce back tonight, and they should go all out for a win, so we could see goals.

Yes (BTTS)

Both Teams to Score

50 WIN

@1.73

Win

Recent form of both sides and their positions down the bottom six points to a tight game with little attack-minded football. But I think both sides will go all out for much-needed three points, and both sides have seen BTTS in a lot of their recent games.

Jarrod Bowen

Anytime Goalscorer

50 WIN

@3.30

Lose

-50

West Ham have to bounce back tonight after that debacle defeat at Wolves over the weekend. They are in real trouble, in freefall down the table. But this guy is their main man, and he has every chance of scoring tonight.

04 January 2026

19:45 Inter Milan v Bologna

Inter Milan

50 WIN

@1.44

Win

Again, I have to go with a home win, as the hosts will be looking for the win that will ensure they end the week top of the table.

19:45 PSG v Paris FC

PSG

50 WIN

@1.15

Win

It's unusual to see the hosts not top of the league this far into the season, but Lens have been very good and sit top. The hosts will want to close the gap tonight and should win, as the odds suggest.

I am with the bookies here and not expecting goals tonight. A goalless game looks very likely. Neither side will want to lose, and I think a draw would still see both qualify.

17:30 Man City v Chelsea

Man City

50 WIN

Erling Haaland

Anytime Goalscorer

50 WIN

@1.44

-50

I have to go with the main man here tonight. He has been back in form, and City are also back in top form, chasing Arsenal.

15:15 Real Madrid v Real Betis

Real Madrid

50 WIN

@1.50

Win

The hosts have had a few stumbles of late, and their task for the new year will be to crank up the pressure on leaders Barcelona. The visitors are looking to maintain their recent good form. They have fallen four points behind Barcelona but appear to be picking up their form again. They have won their last three matches across all competitions, claiming a 2-0 home victory over Sevilla last time out in La Liga.

15:00 Fulham v Liverpool

Liverpool

50 WIN

@1.91

Lose

-50

Yes, I know this is a risky tip, with Liverpool not anywhere near their best this season. But they badly need a win today, and it's not easy here. I think they might scrap their way to three points.

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.91

Win

Fulham have seen over 2.5 goals in three of their last five Premier League home games. Liverpool have been over in seven of their nine league matches away from home this season.

15:00 Hull v Watford

Yes (BTTS)

Both Teams to Score

50 WIN

@1.75

Void

I like the chance of BTTS in this championship battle. Hull have been BTTS in 16 of their 25 English Championship matches this season. Both teams have scored in 17 of Watford’s 25 league games so far this season.

15:00 Newcastle v Crystal Palace

Newcastle

50 WIN

@1.75

Win

I have to go with a home win here, as the hosts are in good form, especially at home. The visitors have hit a dodgy patch of form lately.

12:30 Leeds v Man Utd

Draw

50 WIN

@3.50

Win

125

Looks like the bookies can't make their mind up here, and it does look a tricky game to call. Going on recent form, Leeds have drawn 4 out of their last 5 matches, and Man Utd are still not firing properly and could only manage a home draw with Liverpool in the last game.

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.91

There have been over 2.5 goals in seven of Leeds’ nine Premier League home matches this season. Manchester United have been over 2.5 in eight of their nine league games away from home.

Yes (BTTS)

Both Teams to Score

50 WIN

@1.78

Another of today's games where we might see BTTS happening. Both teams have scored in all but one of Manchester United’s nine Premier League away games this season.

17:30 Bournemouth v Arsenal

Arsenal

50 WIN

@1.55

Win

Arsenal can open the gap to the rest with another win here tonight. It's not an easy ground to visit, but the hosts have not been at their best in recent weeks. They came away with a draw from Chelsea last game. I am still going with the league leaders.

15:00 Brighton v Burnley

Brighton

50 WIN

@1.48

Win

The hosts are sitting in the middle of the table and are a very good side. I will be surprised if they can't beat a side battling to get out of the bottom three.

12:30 Aston Villa v Nottm Forest

Aston Villa

50 WIN

@1.91

Win

I was thinking of going with a draw, but I think Villa will bounce back from that 4-1 defeat at Arsenal. They have won their past three home games against Forest.

Yes (BTTS)

Both Teams to Score

50 WIN

@1.80

Win

It will be interesting to see how Villa respond to that 4-1 defeat at Arsenal. Al and Forest are fighting hard to get away from the bottom three. This might be tough today and I will take a chance on BTTS.

Aston Villa & Yes (Result + BTTS)

Result and BTTS

50 WIN

@3.75

Win

138

As I have already gone with a home win and BTTS happening in today's early kick-off, I will add this selection as well, as the last three meetings have seen both sides score.

Ollie Watkins

Anytime Goalscorer

50 WIN

@2.60

Win

Short odds here, but he's back in form ??" scoring three goals in the space of four days. He has scored in two of the last three meetings.

12:30 Celtic v Rangers

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.67

Both teams are unusually out of the title battle really, and both defenses are very poor. I will go with overs today. Six of the last seven clashes have gone over.

Yes (BTTS)

Both Teams to Score

50 WIN

@1.62

Win

It's the big derby again, but for the first time in a long, long time neither side looks like winning the title after a poor season. Both defenses are very poor, conceding lots of goals.

Rangers & Yes (Result + BTTS)

Result and BTTS

50 WIN

@6.50

Win

275

I really can't pick a winner here today, with the title looking out of reach for both sides. Both defenses are poor, and the last meeting here saw both score.
