Ipswich Win

Match Result

Coventry v Ipswich

Tip: Ipswich to Win

This is a slightly riskier play on paper, but the odds make plenty of appeal. League leaders Coventry host third-placed Ipswich in what should be a competitive encounter, however the visitors have had the upper hand in this fixture.

Ipswich boast a perfect record in the last four head-to-head meetings, winning all four, and arrive with the confidence of a side firmly in the promotion hunt. With that strong historical edge and attractive odds available, Ipswich are taken to come out on top once again.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Tips

Leicester v Derby

Leicester have been involved in five straight BTTS matches, while Derby have seen BTTS land in four of their previous five, scoring in all five games. Another open game looks likely.

Norwich v Watford

Norwich have been involved in BTTS games in four of their last five matches, scoring in all five, while four of the previous five head-to-head meetings between these sides have also seen both teams score.

Sheffield Wednesday v Blackburn

Sheffield Wednesday have seen BTTS land in four of their previous five matches, while Blackburn have managed to score in four of their last five games, making goals at both ends the standout angle.

Wrexham v Preston

Both sides arrive with identical recent BTTS records, with four of the previous five matches for each resulting in both teams scoring. This looks another strong BTTS candidate.

Accumulator Tips

Middlesbrough v Hull

Tip: Hull or Draw
Middlesbrough’s form has dipped recently, taking just one point from their last two matches. Hull, meanwhile, are unbeaten in their previous four, dropping points only once during that run.

Millwall v Bristol City

Tip: Bristol City to Win
Millwall are struggling, winless in their previous four league matches, while Bristol City arrive in much better shape after winning both of their last two games.

Oxford United v Swansea

Tip: Swansea or Draw
Oxford United have managed just one win in their previous five matches, losing three during that spell. Swansea are taken to avoid defeat here.

Stoke v Sheffield United

Tip: Over 1.5 Match Goals
Sheffield United have seen over 1.5 goals in all five of their previous five matches, while this fixture has a strong scoring history, with all of the last five head-to-head meetings producing goals for both sides.

30 Dec 19:30 - Chelsea vs Bournemouth - Premier League
30 Dec 19:30
Chelsea vs Bournemouth - Premier League

Chelsea Win & BTTS - Yes

Match Result & BTTS
15/8

Reason for Tip

Chelsea at Stamford Bridge continue to play front-foot football, averaging well over 1.7 goals per home game, but clean sheets have remained elusive due to their aggressive positioning and high defensive line. Bournemouth are one of the more reliable scoring sides outside the top six, finding the net in over 70% of their away league matches, driven by quick transitions and direct wide play. Chelsea’s superior chance volume, possession control and squad depth give them the edge to win, but Bournemouth’s ability to exploit space on the counter makes BTTS a strong companion angle.

30 Dec 19:30 - Nottm Forest vs Everton - Premier League
30 Dec 19:30
Nottm Forest vs Everton - Premier League

Nottm Forest Win

Match Result
11/10

Reason for Tip

Forest’s home form has been a key strength this season, with points collected in the majority of games at the City Ground, where they play with far greater intensity and confidence. Everton remain competitive but continue to struggle away from home, averaging under a goal per game on the road and showing vulnerability when forced to defend sustained pressure. Forest’s direct running, set-piece threat and physical edge give them a strong platform in this matchup, particularly against an Everton side that often fades late on.

30 Dec 20:15 - Arsenal vs Aston Villa - Premier League
30 Dec 20:15
Arsenal vs Aston Villa - Premier League

BTTS - Yes

Both Teams To Score
1/1

Reason for Tip

Arsenal remain one of the league’s most consistent attacking sides, scoring in virtually every home league fixture, driven by high shot volume and fluid movement in the final third. Villa, meanwhile, have developed into a reliable scoring unit themselves, averaging over 1.5 goals per game, but are far less secure defensively against top-six opposition. With both sides preferring to attack rather than manage games conservatively, and neither defence particularly watertight in high-tempo matches, BTTS is strongly supported.

30 Dec 20:15 - Man Utd vs Wolves - Premier League
30 Dec 20:15
Man Utd vs Wolves - Premier League

Over 2.5 Goals

Over 2.5 Goals
4/7

Reason for Tip

Manchester United matches continue to trend high-scoring, with their league games averaging close to 3.2 total goals per match, largely due to an open style and defensive inconsistency. Wolves are more competitive going forward than their table position suggests, particularly in transition, but also concede regularly when under sustained pressure. United’s attacking depth and Wolves’ willingness to break quickly should create an open game state, making the over 2.5 goals line a logical angle.

30 Dec 20:00 - Motherwell vs Celtic - Scottish Premiership
30 Dec 20:00
Motherwell vs Celtic - Scottish Premiership

Celtic Win

Match Result
3/4

Reason for Tip

Celtic remain the dominant force in Scottish football, boasting the league’s best attack and defence, and winning the vast majority of away fixtures against bottom-half sides. Motherwell are competitive at home but struggle to cope with sustained pressure and pace in wide areas — precisely where Celtic excel. With superior squad depth, relentless pressing and a consistent scoring output, Celtic are rightly favoured to control the game and take all three points.

30 Dec 19:45 - Rangers vs St. Mirren - Scottish Premiership
30 Dec 19:45
Rangers vs St. Mirren - Scottish Premiership

Rangers Win

Match Result
11/20

Reason for Tip

Rangers at Ibrox remain extremely reliable, winning well over 70% of home league matches and regularly posting multi-goal performances. St. Mirren are organised but struggle to sustain pressure away from home, particularly against sides that dominate territory and set-piece situations. Rangers’ ability to pin teams back, combined with their attacking depth and physical presence, makes them a strong home selection.

1 Jan 17:30 - Liverpool vs Leeds - Premier League
1 Jan 17:30
Liverpool vs Leeds - Premier League

Liverpool Win

Match Result
1/2

Reason for Tip

Liverpool at Anfield continue to impose themselves with tempo and intensity, averaging over 2 goals per home game and ranking among the league leaders for shot creation. Leeds bring energy and pressing but remain defensively vulnerable, particularly against teams that move the ball quickly through midfield. Liverpool’s superior quality in wide areas and their ability to sustain pressure should see them wear Leeds down over 90 minutes.

1 Jan 20:00 - Sunderland vs Man City - Premier League
1 Jan 20:00
Sunderland vs Man City - Premier League

Man City Win

Match Result
21/50

Reason for Tip

Manchester City’s dominance in these types of fixtures remains clear. They control possession, territory and game tempo better than any side in the league, while Sunderland are likely to spend long periods defending deep. City’s ability to stretch defensive blocks, recycle pressure and create high-quality chances makes them extremely reliable favourites, even away from home. With Sunderland’s margin for error minimal against elite opposition, City are well positioned to take the points.

Reason for Tip
