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

Melbourne Victory #2-1

-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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
