Plymouth v Burton

Tip: Plymouth to Win

A huge relegation six-pointer sees Plymouth host fellow strugglers Burton, and this looks a prime opportunity for the hosts to pick up three vital points.

Burton come into the match in poor form, with just one win in their previous five matches and defeats in their last two outings. Plymouth, meanwhile, have enjoyed this fixture in recent seasons and are unbeaten in the last two head-to-head meetings, winning both.

With home advantage, greater urgency and a stronger recent record in this matchup, Plymouth are taken to get the job done.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Tips

Newcastle v Crystal Palace

Both Teams To Score

Newcastle have seen BTTS land in three of their previous four matches, while Crystal Palace have been involved in four BTTS results in their last five. Both sides carry attacking threat and look capable of contributing.

Bristol City v Preston

Both Teams To Score

Bristol City have scored in all four of their previous four matches, while Preston have found the net in four of their last five. Two of the last three head-to-head meetings have also produced goals at both ends.

Derby v Wrexham

Both Teams To Score

Derby have scored in all five of their previous five matches and have seen BTTS land in three of their last five. Wrexham mirror that trend, scoring in all five of their previous five games and landing BTTS in four.

Hull v Watford

Both Teams To Score

Hull have scored in seven of their previous eight matches, while Watford boast a perfect recent scoring record, netting in all ten of their last ten games. A difficult match to call, but goals look likely at both ends.

Accumulator Tips

Everton v Brentford

Everton & Draw (Double Chance)

Everton have lost just twice in their previous six matches, while Brentford have won only two of their last seven. The hosts are also unbeaten in the last five head-to-head meetings, making the double chance a sensible option.

Manchester City v Chelsea

Manchester City to Win

Manchester City come into this fixture in excellent form, unbeaten in their previous nine matches and winning eight of those. They are also unbeaten in the last five meetings with Chelsea, winning four and drawing once.

Portsmouth v Ipswich

Over 1.5 Match Goals

Portsmouth have seen over 1.5 goals land in all five of their previous five matches, while Ipswich have seen the same outcome in four of their last five. Two goals or more looks very likely.

Blackpool v Bradford

Over 2.5 Match Goals

Blackpool have been involved in over 2.5 goal games in their previous two matches, while Bradford have seen three of their last four go over the line. Four of the last five head-to-head meetings have also produced over 2.5 goals.

7 Jan 19:30 - Bournemouth vs Spurs - Premier League
7 Jan 19:30
Bournemouth vs Spurs - Premier League

BTTS - Yes

Both Teams To Score
8/13

Reason for Tip

Bournemouth’s home fixtures continue to produce open game states, with goals at both ends a recurring theme. They score regularly at the Vitality but concede at a similar rate due to an aggressive defensive line. Spurs remain one of the league’s most attacking sides, averaging well over 1.9 goals per game, but clean sheets away from home have been inconsistent when games become stretched. With both sides preferring to play on the front foot rather than manage territory, BTTS is strongly supported.

7 Jan 19:30 - Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa - Premier League
7 Jan 19:30
Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa - Premier League

Aston Villa Win

Match Result
5/4

Reason for Tip

Villa’s away performances against mid-table opposition have been built on control and efficiency. They average around 1.6 goals per away game while limiting opponents’ shot quality through a well-drilled midfield unit. Palace remain competitive but often struggle to convert possession into sustained pressure against organised sides. Villa’s superior structure, counter-attacking threat and consistency in these matchups give them the edge.

7 Jan 19:30 - Everton vs Wolves - Premier League
7 Jan 19:30
Everton vs Wolves - Premier League

BTTS - Yes

Both Teams To Score
19/20

Reason for Tip

Everton’s home games tend to open up, particularly in the second half, with goals conceded remaining a concern despite improved attacking output. Wolves arrive with a reliable scoring profile, finding the net in over 65% of away fixtures, but clean sheets on the road have been rare. Both sides create chances but lack defensive control for 90 minutes, making BTTS a strong fit.

7 Jan 19:30 - Fulham vs Chelsea - Premier League
7 Jan 19:30
Fulham vs Chelsea - Premier League

BTTS - Yes

Both Teams To Score
4/6

Reason for Tip

Fulham are far more effective at Craven Cottage, averaging over 1.4 goals per home match, but they continue to concede chances through transitions. Chelsea’s attacking metrics remain strong, particularly shot volume, yet defensive solidity away from home has been inconsistent. With Fulham capable of exploiting space and Chelsea almost certain to create chances, BTTS is well supported.

7 Jan 19:30 - Man City vs Brighton - Premier League
7 Jan 19:30
Man City vs Brighton - Premier League

Man City Win

Match Result
21/50

Reason for Tip

City’s dominance at the Etihad remains a major factor, averaging 2.3+ goals per home game and posting elite xG figures. Brighton will look to play through pressure but have struggled defensively against top-six sides, particularly when pressed aggressively. City’s ability to suffocate opponents and convert sustained pressure into goals makes the home win the standout angle.

7 Jan 20:15 - Burnley vs Man Utd - Premier League
7 Jan 20:15
Burnley vs Man Utd - Premier League

Man Utd Win

Match Result
13/20

Reason for Tip

United’s away performances against lower-half opposition have improved, with better game management and a higher chance conversion rate. Burnley remain competitive but concede a high volume of shots when pinned back, particularly against sides with pace in wide areas. United’s attacking quality and ability to punish defensive errors should see them come out on top.

7 Jan 20:15 - Newcastle vs Leeds - Premier League
7 Jan 20:15
Newcastle vs Leeds - Premier League

Newcastle Win

Match Result
7/10

Reason for Tip

Newcastle’s intensity at St James’ Park continues to overwhelm visiting sides. They average close to 2 goals per home match and rank among the league leaders for shots and pressures in the final third. Leeds’ aggressive approach leaves space in behind, which Newcastle are well equipped to exploit. Home advantage and superior physical output point towards a Newcastle win.

8 Jan 20:00 - Arsenal vs Liverpool - Premier League
8 Jan 20:00
Arsenal vs Liverpool - Premier League

Arsenal Win

Match Result
11/20

Reason for Tip

Arsenal’s home record against top-six opposition has been built on control, patience and chance quality. They average over 1.8 goals per game at the Emirates, while Liverpool’s away performances have been less consistent defensively, particularly when pressed high. Arsenal’s ability to dominate midfield phases and limit transition opportunities gives them a strong platform to edge a high-level contest.
