The games continue to come thick and fast in December and we’ve seen some stand out results in the process. Manchester Coty showed why they have dominated the Premier League over the past decade after humiliating Leeds in a 7-0 thrashing on Monday night.
We did predict at least three goals in that game and it was that and many more. Ahead of the upcoming fixtures, we aim to continue our recent impressive form with the latest betting tips and predictions to go with from all of the day’s action.
Straight Wins
After remaining winless in the last two league games, Borussia Dortmund will hope for a positive outcome here today against Greuther Furth. The visitors lack consistency and have gotten turns of defeats and wins in their recent games. Dortmund have two wins in the last five outings, accompanying two defeats and one draw. On the other hand, Furth were finally able to end their horrific losing streak and got their first win of the season. But the next rivals seem a tough challenge for them. The Black and yellows registered their victory in all of the last five meetings against Furth, which makes us believe Dortmund would win today. Bet9ja has 1.12 odds, Paripesa has 1.13 odds and 1xBet has 1.13 odds.
Relegation-threatened Augsburg face RB Leipzig in their next Bundesliga meeting on Thursday, 16 December. Augsburg seems more prepared than usual as they got their third victory across their last six matches of the 2021/22 Bundesliga campaign. However, RB Leipzig registered their name on the winning side in all of the last five H2H duels. The Red Bulls also have claimed three wins in the last five games. With everything taken into account, the visitors are more likely to continue their style and take the lead at the end of this match. Bet9ja has 1.50 odds, Paripesa has 1.53 odds and 1xBet has 1.53 odds.
Chelsea left it late last time out vs Leeds United, but eventually won 3-2 for a second consecutive Premier League (PL) fixture by that scoreline, a result that ultimately kept them within two points of leaders Manchester City. Today, the Blues welcome a struggling Everton side who rarely puts up a worthy fight at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea are unbeaten across their last 26 PL home games vs the Merseysiders and could match their longest ever unbeaten home run against any opponent in league history with another win or draw here. Bet9ja has 1.25 odds, Paripesa has 1.25 odds and 1xBet has 1.25 odds.
With both Manchester clubs and Chelsea cashing in on game-winning penalties in Saturday’s Premier League (PL) action, Liverpool followed suit when Mohamed Salah won and slotted home a spot-kick to secure back-to-back 1-0 top-flight wins. Liverpool have recorded seven consecutive wins in all competitions, while their last five home fixtures have seen them achieve victory without conceding. The Anfield faithful should be in a frenzied mood when Newcastle comes to town, as they have registered more home wins against the Georgies in PL history than against any other side (W20, D5, L1). Bet9ja has 1.13 odds, Paripesa has 1.14 odds and 1xBet has 1.14 odds.
Over 2.5 Goals
The fixture against Bayer Leverkusen and Hoffenheim would probably be among the most interesting games of the coming matchday. Leverkusen have only two goals in the last two outings but they scored seven goals in their previous home game. The Company’s Elven have yielded 15 goals in the last four games at their camping ground. On the other hand, Hoffenheim’s front line has been great recently, producing 12 goals in the previous four games, scoring at least two in all of them. There are clear chances to see this game end with a high-scoring output. Bet9ja has 1.42 odds, Paripesa has 1.45 odds and 1xBet has 1.45 odds.
In three of the last five times that Southampton and Crystal Palace faced each other, we have seen goals from both sides. It’s easy to assume that Wednesday’s match will also end that way. There have been quite a few high-scoring matches for both teams this season. Crystal Palace played nine games with over 2.5 total goals out of the sixteen this season. Half of Southampton’s games also ended similarly, including four of the last five matches they played in the league. Bet9ja has 2.07 odds, Paripesa has 2.16 odds and 1xBet has 2.16 odds.
Bringing back the Dortmund game, we know it would produce lots of goals. Furth’s defensive line has been terrible in the recent games and leaked 18 goals across their last five games. On the other side, most of the recent games of BVB went over a total of 2.5 goals. Dortmund have scored 12 goals in the last five attempts while Cloverleaves found the target six times in that duration. So, given all the above stats, we expect a high-scoring total at the end of this game. All of the last three H2Hs of these teams followed the same. Bet9ja has 1.68 odds, Paripesa has 1.76 odds and 1xBet has 1.76 odds.
It is difficult to know what you’re going to get with Arsenal lately after the North London side has shown some inconsistent performances of late. Today, it’s a London Derby as Arsenal face West Ham at the Emirates. Both Arsenal and West Ham have seen three over 2.5 goal games out of the last four they played together. If we look at the Premier League, Arsenal have recorded a lot of those recently, as well. For West Ham, more than half of the matches they played during the season ended with over 2.5 goals and their average is 2.9 goals per match. Bet9ja has 1.80 odds, Paripesa has 1.89 odds and 1xBet has 1.89 odds.
Anytime Goalscorers
Salah
Currently, there are no words to properly show how much of an important player Salah is to this Liverpool side with his very influential goals for the team this season. Salah has now scored or assisted in 14 straight PL games, one short of Jamie Vardy’s 2015 record of 15 and we’re backing him to score and equal the record today. Bet9ja has 1.50 odds while Paripesa has 1.50 odds.
Odegaard
Arsenal’s Martin Ødegaard is currently enjoying his best run of consecutive scoring games since 2018 (three) and the last time he did that, he followed it up with a brace of assists. Today, he would surely be included in their keenly contested London derby as we have predicted he can make an impact by getting on the scoreboard here today for his side. Bet9ja has 3.65 odds while Paripesa has 4.00 odds.
Haaland
He failed to score in the team’s last-minute draw to Bochum, although he bagged the assist that saw the goal, he would be gutted not to have been on the score sheet. Today, he would be given another chance to keep the pressure on rivals Bayern by providing his team with the goals here today. Greuther Furth are relatively weak defensively and it will be an uphill task to keep the Norwegian from scoring. Bet9ja has 1.25 odds while Paripesa has 1.25 odds.
Patrik Schick
Patrik Schick has scored seven goals across Leverkusen’s seven home league games this term, heading into this game. He also scored 14 goals this season in the Bundesliga making this one of his best seasons yet. Today, he would lead the line as Leverkusen face Hoffenheim. He has scored six goals in his previous two games and he is sure to score here today. Bet9ja has 2.00 odds while Paripesa has 1.95.
Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
