26 December 2025
20:00 Man Utd v Newcastle
Newcastle
200 WIN
@2.63
Lose
-200
Newcastle have won 5 of the last 6 meetings with Man Utd, scoring 2+ goals in 5 of those. United are without Fernandes (lost 6 of 7 PL games without him) and Mainoo amid injuries.
Newcastle & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS

Nick Woltemade
First Goalscorer
200 WIN
@6.50
Lose
-200
I predict Nick Woltemade as first goalscorer. The towering German striker, Newcastle's record signing, is in hot form with recent braces and poses a massive aerial threat to United's depleted defence on set pieces and counters.
Newcastle #2-1
200 WIN
@11.00
Lose
-200
My prediction for Manchester United vs Newcastle on Boxing Day is a 1-2 away win. Newcastle's recent dominance and United's absences, especially Bruno Fernandes, tip the balance despite Old Trafford.
13:00 Dag & Red v Hornchurch FC
Dag & Red #2-1
Dagenham & Redbridge average 1.8 home goals and concede under 1.0. Hornchurch are winless away in four, allowing 1.6. The home side's xG is stronger. 2??"1 home win expected. BTTS likely per recent shot data.
13:00 Ebbsfleet United v Tonbridge Angels
Ebbsfleet United #2-1
Ebbsfleet United should dominate Tonbridge Angels and win by 2-1, as their home form is unbeatable with 8 wins in 10. Successive victories sealed a comfortable Kent derby triumph.
13:00 Maidstone Utd v Dover
Draw #1-1
Expect a tense Kent derby draw. Maidstone are unbeaten in the last 3, with a recent 0-0 vs Hampton. Hosts Dover are 12th. Stats point to a low-scoring 1-1, both teams grinding out a point.
13:00 Oxford City v Merthyr Town
Merthyr Town #3-2
Merthyr average 2.35 goals and concede 1.65 where as Oxford have scored 1.63 and conceded 1.74, this game has a high-scoring trend with over 2.5 goals in 77% of the previous matches which points to Merthyr 3-2 win.
12:30 Angola v Zimbabwe
Angola #2-1
100 WIN
@9.50
Lose
-100
Angola should edge this by a 2-1 scoreline. They are averaging 1.4 goals and conceding 0.9 recently. Zimbabwe have scored in four out of six games recently but concede an average of 1.5 goals per game and struggle converting chances.
12:30 Birmingham v Derby
Birmingham #2-1
100 WIN
@9.00
Lose
-100
I predict Birmingham City to win 2-1 vs Derby County. The stats back the Blues: 14 shots with 6 on target vs Derby's 9. A Stansfield brace should seal it, extending Birmingham's 2025 home wins to 18.
08:35 Newcastle Jets v Macarthur FC
Newcastle Jets #3-1
325 WIN
@13.00
Lose
-325
I predict Newcastle Jets 3-1 Macarthur FC. The head-to-head results show the Jets with 5 wins and 5 draws, while the home side averages 3.47 goals. The Jets are 6th with strong home form. Macarthur are 8th and inconsistent away.

Abdoulaye Doucoure
First Goalscorer
350 WIN
@10.50

-350
Neom SC #2-1
350 WIN
@9.50
Win
2975
NEOM are 8th place with 14 pts and have scored 13 goals. They are mid-table, while winless Al-Najma are 18th with 1 pt, 7 goals scored and 20 conceded and leak 2.22 goals per game. 2-1 looks most likely.
14:50 Al Feiha v Al Hazm
Al Feiha
200 WIN
@2.05
Lose
-200
Al-Feiha secures a home win due to an unbeaten record against Al-Hazm, winning 4 of 8 overall meetings with a recent 3-1 victory, and a stronger league position.
Al Feiha & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
100 WIN
@4.33
Lose
-100
Al-Feiha should win with BTTS due to a perfect home record vs. Al-Hazm. They also have a recent 3-1 victory. Both teams have leaky defenses, with Al-Feiha conceding 1.44/game whereas Al-Hazm concede 1.31/game, which ensures goals despite Sakala's absence.
Yassine Benzia
First Goalscorer
100 WIN
@10.00
Lose
-100
Yassine Benzia should score first due to Al-Feiha's home dominance. Sakala's AFCON absence shifts attacks to him. He has 2 goals and 3 assists in 9 games with a recent late strike. He is on set-piece duties also.
Al Feiha #2-1
100 WIN
@9.00
Lose
-100
Al-Feiha should edge a 2-1 win due to home advantage. Their unbeaten record vs. Al-Hazm and a recent 3-1 victory over them support this. They average 1.2 goals scored while conceding 1.4, which should be enough to outscore Al-Hazm's leaky defence.

23 December 2025
20:00 Arsenal v Crystal Palace
Gabriel Martinelli
First Goalscorer
250 WIN
@8.00
Lose
-250
Martinelli has 6 goals in his 10 appearances against Crystal Palace, including the opener in a 2-0 win at Selhurst Park back in 2022. Starting on the left in a rotated Arsenal side, his pace exploits Palace's high line early. Arsenal have scored first in 7 of the last 8 meetings. I expect him to score first.
Arsenal #3-1
222 WIN
@12.00
Lose
-222
Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 8 meetings with Palace, winning 7 and drawing only 1, including a 3-2 win at this stage last season. The Gunners boast superior squad depth and strong home form, while a fatigued Palace side??"coming off a heavy 4-1 defeat??"face a third game in seven days. Expect a comfortable home win with Palace nicking a consolation.
20:00 Tunisia v Uganda
Elias Saad
First Goalscorer
250 WIN
@7.00
Lose
-250
Elias Saad, in scorching form with four goal contributions in his last six Tunisia appearances, starts in attack for favorites Tunisia against underdogs Uganda in their AFCON opener. His pace, movement, and high xG make him the prime threat to break the deadlock first.
Tunisia #2-0
Tunisia are unbeaten versus Uganda in their last six meetings and have won all six with an aggregate score of 16 goals for and 1 conceded. Prior AFCON clashes have seen Tunisia win 3-0 and 3-1. Uganda have just one AFCON win since 1978 and have drawn eight and lost 12 in the finals. Carthage Eagles' defensive solidity and historical dominance should seal a 2-0 victory.
17:30 Nigeria v Tanzania
Nigeria #3-0
Nigeria are unbeaten versus Tanzania with 5 wins and 3 draws. In the last 3 meetings, Nigeria have kept clean sheets. Tanzania are winless in 10 AFCON finals games and have failed to score in six of eight recent continental matches, and have lost their last 4 games. The Super Eagles' firepower should exploit Tanzania's blunt attack for a 3-0 win.
15:00 Senegal v Botswana
Senegal #3-0
Senegal were unbeaten in the AFCON qualifiers, winning 5 games and drawing 1, with 1 goal conceded. Botswana have just 1 win in 2025 and scored the fewest goals in the qualifiers. Head-to-head, Senegal have won both prior meetings 3-0 and 2-0. Botswana have AFCON finals wins. The Lions' superior attack and defence should help them win 3-0.
12:30 DR Congo v Benin
DR Congo #2-0
DR Congo are on a 5-game win streak, conceding just 1 goal. Benin have lost their last 2 by an aggregate score of 7-0. Head-to-head stats show DR Congo are unbeaten with a 2-0 win and a 1-1 draw. Benin have wins in 14 AFCON group games; they have drawn 5 and lost 9. The Leopards' superior depth and defence should secure a 2-0 victory.

@9.50
Lose
-90
Mali edges Zambia 2-1. The Eagles, unbeaten in AFCON qualifiers and never losing an opener (W8 D5 in 13), boast superior form and defensive solidity. Zambia remain winless in their last 10 AFCON finals matches despite a counter threat from Daka and Sakala.

20:30 Peru v Bolivia
Draw
100 WIN
@3.50
Lose
-100
Peru are using mostly Liga 1 players, whereas Bolivia are testing youngsters, so I would expect a low-intensity, shared-points affair.
Draw #1-1
100 WIN
@6.00
Lose
-100
A 1-1 scoreline is the most probable for Peru vs Bolivia, aligning with trends for under 2.5 goals in friendlies, both teams' transitional forms, and previews expecting a balanced, goal-sharing draw.
20:30 Santa Clara v FC Arouca
Santa Clara
500 WIN
@1.80
Lose
-500
Santa Clara's strong home defence, which have conceded just 0.5 goals per game, and multiple recent clean sheets point to a home win. Arouca's poor away form, with four straight losses and low-scoring H2H trends, is reflected in their last four games being under 2.5 goals.
20:00 Real Betis v Getafe
Real Betis #2-1
100 WIN
@9.50
Lose
-100
Betis are favorites at home and lie in 6th place. They have a strong recent H2H with back-to-back 2-1 wins last season. They are facing a Getafe side in poor form, which includes multiple recent losses. I expect a narrow Betis victory in a low-to-mid goal game, with 2-1 aligning perfectly with historical patterns and current trends.
19:00 Morocco v Comoros
Morocco #3-0
100 WIN
@6.00
Lose
-100
Morocco's 3-0 win is likely due to their superior ranking, unbeaten streak, dominant H2H including past 3-0s, home crowd boost, attacking firepower, and Comoros' defensive setup yielding a clean sheet.
16:45 HNK Rijeka v HNK Gorica
HNK Rijeka #2-1
100 WIN
@8.50
Lose
-100
Rijeka's home strength, Gorica's consistent away scoring (7 of the last 8), strong BTTS trends, and common Rijeka home results like 2-0/3-1 (adjusted for visitor threat).
16:30 Aston Villa v Man Utd
Aston Villa
100 WIN
@2.15
Win
115
An Aston Villa win is the most likely result for Aston Villa vs. Manchester United, supported by Villa's nine-match winning streak, strong home form, and the majority of expert predictions favoring the hosts.
Emiliano Buendia
Anytime Goalscorer
130 WIN
@3.50
Lose
-130
Emiliano Buendía is likely to score anytime due to his four goals this season, high shot volume (2.31 per 90), recent clinical finishing as a key substitute, and Villa's dominant home attack against United's injury-hit defence.
Emiliano Buendia
First Goalscorer
100 WIN
@10.00
Lose
-100
Emiliano Buendía scoring the opener offers value despite long odds, given his four league goals this season, high shot volume (2.31 per 90), recent impact as a super-sub (including winners and openers), and Villa's dominant home attacking play against a depleted United defence.
Aston Villa #2-1
100 WIN
@9.50
Win
850
A 2-1 scoreline is the most probable for Aston Villa vs. Manchester United, reflecting Villa's attacking home dominance, BTTS trends, and frequent high-probability predictions for a narrow Villa victory.

Bayern Munich #3-1
100 WIN
@10.00

A 1-3 scoreline is the most probable for Heidenheim vs. Bayern Munich, aligning with frequent expert predictions, Bayern's high-scoring trends, BTTS patterns, and recent head-to-head results featuring multiple goals.
13:00 Corum FK v Sakaryaspor
Corum FK
100 WIN
@1.44
Win
44
Home advantage, better league position, and Sakaryaspor's troubles should see Çorum take the points comfortably, likely with a clean sheet given the visitors' disruptions. Some previews suggest a low-scoring game, but I expect Çorum to capitalize. Enjoy the match.
13:00 Girona v Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid
110 WIN
@1.73
Win

An Atlético Madrid win is the most likely result for Girona vs Atlético Madrid, backed by their superior form, dominant H2H record (three straight wins), and expert predictions favoring the visitors.
Atletico Madrid #2-1

13:00 Malaga v Almeria
Draw
100 WIN
@3.25
Lose
-100
A draw is the most likely match result for Málaga vs Almería, with experts favoring a shared points outcome due to frequent H2H draws, BTTS trends, and both teams' balanced attacking and defensive profiles.
Draw #1-1
100 WIN
@6.00
Lose
-100
1-1 draw is the most probable scoreline for Málaga vs Almería, driven by strong BTTS trends, frequent head-to-head draws, and expert predictions highlighting a balanced, goal-sharing contest at La Rosaleda.
12:30 Club Brugge v Gent
Club Brugge
200 WIN
@1.50
Win

Brugge should edge it with home advantage and better current momentum, but Gent can nick a goal on the counter. I lean toward both teams scoring given recent patterns.
Club Brugge #2-1
200 WIN
@8.50
Win
1500
Head-to-head trends favor Brugge slightly in recent years, though their earlier meeting this season ended in a 1-1 draw. Many previews highlight Brugge's attacking threat; their games often see over 2.5 goals, while Gent have shown inconsistent away form. I predict a 2-1 home win.

17:00 Besiktas v Caykur Rizespor
Besiktas
Be?ikta? have strong home form with 8 wins at Tüpra? Stadyumu and have dominated Rizespor historically with 14 wins in the last 19 H2H, only 1 Rizespor victory. I predict a home win.
Besiktas #3-1

@12.00
Lose
-50
Be?ikta? are dominant in H2H against Çaykur, who have 15 wins in 42 meetings and have a superior xG with 1.78 vs 1.04. Strong home record could power a convincing 3-1 victory over resilient but outmatched Rizespor.
17:00 FC Thun v FC Zurich
FC Thun
Thun are in blistering form and are top of the table with an 80% win rate in their last 5 and explosive scoring, averaging 1.94 goals per game. Plus a 4-0 H2H win. They overpower Zurich's inconsistencies; expect a thrilling victory for the hosts.
FC Thun #3-1
75 WIN
@13.00
Lose
-75
FC Thun are league leaders and have won 7 of their last 10 and have beaten Zurich 4-0 earlier this season. A strong home attack with multiple 4-goal games should overwhelm mid-table Zurich's leaky defence in a confident 3-1 home triumph
16:30 Bnei Sakhnin v MS Ashdod
Draw
The games between Bnei Sakhnin and Ashdod frequently end in draws, with 13 in the last 28. Both teams are mid-table, with Ashdod earning 1.75 PPG away. Recent form shows shared points in tight games, so another stalemate is likely.
Draw #1-1
125 WIN
@6.00
Lose
-125
Bnei Sakhnin are mid-table and have a strong home record. They face MS Ashdod, who have been solid away. Head-to-heads have seen 13 draws in 28 meetings. Recent encounters have often been low-scoring with shared spoils, so expect a cautious 1-1 draw.
16:30 Hapoel Petach Tikva v Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona
Draw
Hapoel Petah Tikva (2W-7D-4L) loves draws this season, while Kiryat Shmona often shares points in tight games. The head-to-heads have seen 4 draws in the last 14 meetings, so expect another stalemate.
Draw #1-1
125 WIN
@6.50
Lose
-125
Tight relegation battle likely ends 1-1. Home advantage for Petah Tikva is balanced by Kiryat Shmona's H2H edge. Expect cautious play with shared points.
14:00 Monza v Carrarese
Monza #2-0
110 WIN
@7.00
Lose
-110
Monza will beat Carrarese 2-0, backed by their strong home form (unbeaten in the last five Serie B matches) and solid defence (conceding 0.75 goals per game). Carrarese have a poor away record and recent struggles.
13:00 Boluspor v Pendikspor
Boluspor #2-1

@9.50
Lose
-100
Boluspor will edge Pendikspor 2-1 at home, leveraging strong Bolu Atatürk form (unbeaten in recent games) against Pendik's solid but vulnerable away defence.

Deportivo La Coruna #2-1
110 WIN
@10.00
Lose
-110
Deportivo La Coruña will beat FC Andorra 2-1, exploiting their superior away form (three straight road wins) against Andorra's inconsistent attack and recent struggles in the final third.
13:00 Hapoel Tel Aviv v Maccabi Bnei Raina
Hapoel Tel Aviv #3-1
125 WIN
@11.00
Win
1250
Hapoel Tel Aviv, currently 5th in the Israeli Premier League with a strong record (around 7 wins from 14 games), host a struggling Maccabi Bnei Raina side sitting 14th with just 1 win all season and heavy concessions. Hapoel's home form at Bloomfield is solid, while Raina's away record is dire. Head-to-head is competitive but favors Hapoel slightly in recent meetings, and the form gap suggests a multi-goal home win with Raina possibly nicking one on the counter.
13:00 Javor Ivanjica v Vojvodina
Vojvodina #2-0
110 WIN
@9.00
Lose
-110
Vojvodina will beat Javor Ivanjica 2-0, leveraging superior top-half form against Javor's 16th-place struggles and historical dominance (16 wins in 33 H2H, unbeaten in recent meetings).

Anthony Gordon
Anytime Goalscorer
500 WIN
@4.33
Lose
-500
Anthony Gordon will score anytime: he's netted in his last two Premier League home games, with 2 career goals in 8 appearances against Chelsea. Thriving against the Big Six (17 G/A in 19 games since last season), his direct runs exploit Chelsea's flanks at St James' Park.
Anthony Gordon
First Goalscorer
500 WIN
@10.00
Lose
-500
Anthony Gordon will score first. He's in red-hot form with goals in his last two home Premier League games, netting two in recent matches. He has two career goals against Chelsea and thrives on the left, exploiting their right flank. Newcastle's early pressure at St James' Park seals it.
Newcastle #2-1
500 WIN
@12.00
Lose
-500
Newcastle will beat Chelsea 2-1, backed by their fortress at St James' Park. They are unbeaten in nine home games, scoring exactly two goals in each of their last five Premier League home matches. They've won the last four home encounters against Chelsea (all competitions), including three straight Premier League wins. Chelsea struggle away here, losing their last four visits without scoring in the most recent two. I predict a Newcastle win by 2-1.
