13:30 Al Najma v Al Khaleej Saihat

Al Khaleej Saihat #2-1

50 WIN

@8.50

Lose

-50

Al Khaleej should edge a 2-1 win as superior attacking efficiency punishes Al Najma. Al Najma compete well but concede key chances, continuing defensive issues despite showing brief promise in their overall performance.
08:35 Melbourne Victory v Perth Glory

Nikos Vergos

First Goalscorer

90 WIN

@5.50

-90

Melbourne Victory #2-1

165 WIN

@8.50

Lose

-165

Glory Expect Victory to edge it with their attacking confidence (led by Vergos). But Perth's counter-attacking threat and away form should see them score. Over 2.5 goals is a strong possibility given both teams' recent trends.
01 January 2026
20:00 Brentford v Tottenham

Kevin Schade

First Goalscorer

80 WIN

@9.50

-80

Brentford #2-1

60 WIN

@10.00

Lose

-60

Brentford should clinch a 2-1 London derby win over a depleted Tottenham. They should outshoot Spurs, with a Kevin Schade strike proving decisive. Bees' home grit triumphs and win 2-1.
20:00 Sunderland v Man City

Granit Xhaka

First Goalscorer

50 WIN

17:30 Crystal Palace v Fulham

Draw #1-1

90 WIN

@6.50

Win

495

Crystal Palace's poor form and are winless in five plus have multiple injuries clash with Fulham, who have strong momentum with three recent wins. There are key absences on both sides, pointing to a cagey London derby draw of 1-1.
17:30 Liverpool v Leeds

Liverpool & Yes (Result + BTTS)

Result and BTTS

120 WIN

@3.25

Lose

-120

Liverpool’s home win probability is 78%. They average 2.4 goals per game at Anfield. Leeds score in 85% of away matches but concede 1.9 per game. This supports BTTS and a Liverpool victory.

Florian Wirtz

Anytime Goalscorer

100 WIN

@3.75

Lose

-100

Florian Wirtz has begun finding the net for Liverpool, scoring his first Premier League goal recently and showing growing confidence after adapting to the league. His creative involvement and improved form make him a decent anytime scorer pick.

Hugo Ekitike

First Goalscorer

90 WIN

@4.50

Lose

-90

Ekitike has been lethal for Liverpool, scoring eight Premier League goals and has a strong xG around 7.1 and is averaging 0.75 goals per 90 this season, making him a solid first-goal threat. I'm predicting him to score first.

Liverpool #3-1

90 WIN

@13.00

Lose

-90

Liverpool’s Anfield dominance shows, averaging 2.4 goals at home and winning 78%. Leeds score regularly away but concede 1.9 per game. I think a 3??"1 home victory based on recent form.
12:30 Blackburn v Wrexham

Sean McLoughlin

First Goalscorer

96 WIN

@29.00

Lose

-96

Sean McLoughlin sets the tone early, opening the scoring for Blackburn with a composed finish. He rewards home pressure, lifts momentum, and gives the Rovers deserved control against Wrexham.

Draw #1-1

97 WIN

@6.00

Lose

-97

Blackburn and Wrexham should draw 1-1 again. Their recent meeting finished level. Blackburn generally score early but concede late. Wrexham can dominate possession, and their head-to-head goals per match sit at 3.00. Blackburn are a tough opponent, so a low-score draw looks likely.
30 December 2025
19:45 Rochdale v Hartlepool

Ryan East

First Goalscorer

100 WIN

@19.00

Lose

-100

Rochdale #4-1

50 WIN

@21.00

Lose

-50

Rochdale dominate with superior possession, higher xG, and clinical finishing, converting four of nine shots on target. Hartlepool concede defensively, managing only one goal from limited chances overall away. I predict a big Rochdale win here.
19:30 Burnley v Newcastle

Anthony Gordon

Anytime Goalscorer

50 WIN

@3.80

-50

Josh Laurent

First Goalscorer

100 WIN

@41.00

-100

Newcastle #2-1

Newcastle should edge a 1-2 win at Turf Moor. The Magpies have won their last seven Premier League meetings with Burnley, scoring in every one. The Clarets are 19th with just 19 goals scored and often net exactly once at home against them but rarely prevail.
19:30 Chelsea v Bournemouth

Cole Palmer

Anytime Goalscorer

50 WIN

@2.38

Win

Enzo Fernandez

First Goalscorer

100 WIN

@9.00

Chelsea #2-1

Chelsea should bounce back at Stamford Bridge. They are fifth with 29 points and are unbeaten in their last nine meetings against Bournemouth, winning 4 and drawing 5, including a 0-0 draw earlier this month. Despite winning just once in five recent Premier League games, they face a Bournemouth side winless in nine, with the league's worst away defence ??" 27 goals conceded in nine road trips. Expect home quality to prevail.
19:30 Nottm Forest v Everton

Draw

A 1??"1 draw looks probable at the City Ground. Everton, despite failing to score in their last three Premier League games, have dominated recent head-to-heads, winning four of the last five, including 3??"0 earlier this month, and remain unbeaten in their past five visits here. Relegation-threatened Forest, 17th with 18 points, have lost four of their last six, but both sides have low-scoring tendencies. Everton, with just 18 goals, and Forest, averaging one per game, point to a cautious, low-goal draw.

Callum Wilson

First Goalscorer

100 WIN

@7.50

Lose

-100

Draw #1-1

A 1??"1 draw feels likely at the London Stadium. West Ham, struggling near the bottom with a winless run of seven, have drawn six of their last seven home games against Brighton. The Seagulls remain undefeated in 16 of the past 17 meetings across all competitions. Recent clashes have often been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals in the last four home encounters. Expect a tense, cautious affair ending level.
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

Anytime Goalscorer

200 WIN

@2.50

-200

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.
25 December 2025
17:30 Neom SC v Al Najma

First Goalscorer

350 WIN

@10.50

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.
