The Premier League returns!
It’s been a weird season and to be honest, with the interruption of the FIFA World Cup, it feels good that the league season doesn’t have to go on a couple of weeks break before resumption.
While the rest of the top flight sleeps, the English Premier League keeps us entertained all holiday long. Love it!
A couple of clubs that were having a bad start like Chelsea, Liverpool and the likes will be hoping this break affords them an opportunity for a reset. While the likes of Arsenal and Newcastle will be hoping the break and fatigue doesn’t cost them momentum as they look to wrap up in the second half of the season.
Personally, I’m of the opinion that this break and the just concluded tournament will surely have an impact on the pitch. However, the impact will be team specific.
Having said that, let’s delve right into my penultimate tips for the year 2022 and once again, May Lady Luck be in our favour!
Crystal Palace v Fulham
This will be the first of two London derbies to take place on Boxing Day and it’s really set to be a fight.
Both clubs are currently tied on points although the visitors have an advantage having conceded one goal less than their Monday opponents and are two places ahead in ninth place. Both teams have performed fairly, going by their moderate position on the log.
However, with most of their respective players having rested and had time to train during the holiday, it would certainly be a contest. Head to head stats is also almost equal with Palace winning three and drawing three of the eight games between them having not lost any of the last four meetings. In fact, their three victories came in the last four games.
A buzz to this tie is the return of former Chelsea player, Willian, back in the premier league and with Fulham. There is certainly something to look forward to by the fans. However, I think Palace will just nip it. Thanks to home advantage and experience.
Tip: 1 @ 2.06 odds
Everton v Wolves
Two teams that are underperforming, surprisingly.
Frank Lampard hasn’t uplifted the home side as expected since he managed to save them from relegation last season.
However, Wolves are having it worse.
Head to head stats isn’t much different and I expect an uninspiring performance from both teams. But the home side with its strong home support may just scrape through.
Tip: 1x @ 1.41 odds
Leicester City v Newcastle
Newcastle have been the next big surprise after Arsenal, never mind the big money owners. It’s still been a surprise that has seen them comfortably in third place. The best part is that they’ve been going about their comprehensive victories silently and without much buzz and attention from the media. I’m not sure why, but it’s been what it’s been.
Leicester on the other hand have struggled. It’s been quite unfortunate especially with the talented squad in their ranks.
The fishies have had the benefit of the international break to recharge and refine their game. I don’t see things changing from how it started.
Tip: 2 @ 2.16 odds
Southampton v Brighton
Brighton have had such an impressive season having sustained the performance and results begin by now Chelsea coach, Graham Porter.
While Southampton battle relegation struggles, Brighton are up in seventh and just six points outside European spots.
I fancy a narrow victory for the visitors.
Tip: 2 @ 2.11 odds
Aston Villa v Liverpool
As much as Liverpool have struggled so far, I fancy them as one of the struggling teams that’ll benefit from the break for a breather.
Tip: 2 & O1.5 @ 1.78 odds
Arsenal v West Ham
As a London derby, it’s the big game this weekend.
Arsenal will be missing Gabriel Jesus and there is no denying that that will impact on their performance as he has been a key player for the side.
Lucky for the Gunners, they’ll be playing against a lowly and under-performing West Ham side.
Expect them to carry the momentum into this game.
Tip: 1 @ 1.53 odds
Chelsea v Bournemouth
The Blues will be hoping to recover from their slump and gather some momentum to hopefully propel them to the top of the table and into champions league places.
Although they had a couple of players participate at the World Cup and get to resume, they have enough strength in depth to prosecute this game against Bournemouth.
Tip: 1 @ 1.34 odds
Manchester United v Nottingham Forest
Tip: 1 @ 1.32 odds

The Boom Banker’s special midweek Home Wins ACCA of 17 odds comes to you amidst the exciting football actions slated for Boxing Day across leagues in Europe, especially as top clubs in Europe’s top leagues return to league action after FIFA World Cup imposed break.
With the avalanche of games to choose from, the Boom Banker’s well-researched Home Wins selections for this ‘exciting midweek of football actions’ are largely drawn from both the top and lower leagues across Europe.
Let’s play along!
ARSENAL vs WEST HAM
Arsenal entered the World Cup-enforced break unbeaten in eight English Premier League matches and five points clear at the top of the table and, even with an injury to starting striker Gabriel Jesus, they can be backed to pick up where they left off on Boxing Day.
The Gunners have hardly put a foot wrong this season, with Mikel Arteta’s long-term plan finally coming to fruition in flawless fashion. Their most recent run of results is perhaps most impressive, with four wins from five and a clean sheet in all of those victories. They have beaten Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs already this season and their only defeat of the campaign came away to Manchester United.
West Ham, by contrast, have endured a shocking season so far and will be hoping the break has rejuvenated what was looking a laboured squad.
David Moyes’ men have lost four of their last five league games, failing to score in three of those defeats and only managing to pick up points against Bournemouth.
This is unlikely to be anything other than a home win for Arsenal at 1.52 odds on BestBet360.
CHELSEA vs BOURNEMOUTH
Chelsea were in a real slump before the World Cup but they will feel the visit of Bournemouth is a real opportunity to get back to winning ways on Boxing Day.
Graham Potter’s side lost their final three games across all competitions before the league took a break for the tournament in Qatar and they have also lost their last three in the league. The Blues should have the quality to overcome Bournemouth, who have four defeats in their seven away games so far.
Bournemouth have been thrashed 9-0 at Anfield and 4-0 at Manchester City this season but since their mauling on Merseyside they have only lost one of their six trips by more than one goal.
Chelsea’s issues have largely come away from home and Arsenal are the only team who have managed to beat them at Stamford Bridge this term. Potter’s men look the more likely winners.
Chelsea to win at 1.33 odds on BestBet360 comes handy.
MANCHESTER UNITED vs NOTTINGHAM FOREST
Old Trafford was starting to become a real fortress for Manchester United before the World Cup and they should be able to overpower Nottingham Forest in their first league outing since the international tournament ended on Tuesday.
Forest picked up seven points in their final four games before the league took a break to give their survival chances a huge boost, but their away form remains poor and they are likely to struggle in Manchester.
Forest lost 5-0 at Arsenal in their last away game and have been hit for six at Manchester City this term, as well as falling to a 4-0 defeat at Leicester.
United haven’t necessarily been in free-scoring form this term but they did score nine goals in their final three games before the break and an early goal on Tuesday may open this clash up,
Forest are yet to win on their travels in the league and they have scored just one goal in seven attempts, conceding 19 in the process, so the hosts should be able to win with room to spare.
Backing Manchester United to secure a comfortable home win at 1.32 odds on BestBet360.
PSG vs STRASBOURG
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) entered the World Cup break five points clear at the top of French Ligue 1, having recorded 13 wins and two draws from their 15 games in the French top flight this season. With second-bottom Strasbourg visiting the Parc des Princes when domestic football returns to the capital on Wednesday, Christophe Galtier’s men will expect to post an eighth consecutive win, even with some of their attacking stars likely to be absent.
PSG have scored 24 times while winning each of their last seven games, a sequence which has included 5-0, 4-3 and 7-2 victories. Galtier’s men have scored a total of 43 goals in 15 league games this season, and even with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe likely to be absent following their World Cup exploits, they should have more than enough to beat Julien Stephan’s out-of-form visitors.
Indeed, Strasbourg have only won one of their 15 Ligue 1 matches this campaign, beating Angers – the only club bellow them in the table – in early October. Just as concerningly, Strasbourg have only kept one clean sheet all campaign, and they have conceded 19 times in their last eight games. Having shipped 15 goals in their last four meetings with PSG, the visitors will not expect much festive cheer on Wednesday.
This game looks as though it should be a fairly easy victory for PSG at 1.25 odds on BestBet360.

One week, one wonder.
I strongly doubt that there is any one who has rightly called all the games in Qatar 2022. This tournament has been as dramatic as the host nation has been controversial. Even though we are past the semi finals already, we just may still see an upset in the final – nobody cares about third place to be fair. But yeah, we may still see an upset in the final. I mean, an African team making it to the semi-final of the FIFA World Cup alone is a big win for the continent. Not sure any result from now on can spoil it to be honest.
That being said, I’ll stay clear of eventual winner but will stake on the goals. Lady Luck, may she be on our side.
France v Morocco
Tip: Goals Difference: 2 @ 3.70 odds
AE Kifisia FC v AEK
Tip: 2&O1.5 1.35odds
Glasgow Rangers v Hibernian
Tip: 1&O1.5 @ 1.35odds
Arsenal Women v Lyon Women
Arsenal Women already thrashed their French counterparts by five goals to one at the Groupama Stadium in France earlier in October.
The Londoners currently top their group and are three points and four goals ahead of their closest rivals after four rounds of fixtures. This is more than three points to Lyon who aren’t a walkover in women’s football, especially in this tournament having won it a record eight times.
It’ll be a tough test but Arsenal, led by top scorer Frida Maanum and Vivianne Miedema have put on a show this season both in the domestic league and on the continent. Goals will surely flow and I expect home advantage to work in favour of the Londoners.
Tip: 1&O2.5 @ 3.55 odds
Ismaily FC v Pyramids FC
We make the trip down to the north of Africa, while a lot is going on for the region at the World Cup, the visitors will be hoping they record their seventh victory over the relegation-battling Ismaily.
Although it’s still early days in the season, Pyramids have enough quality in their ranks to comfortably see off the hosts. In fact, they have not lost in the last eight meetings between them dating back to September 2017.
Tip: 2 @ 1.67 odds
Beijing Guoan v Changchun Yatai
Tip: 1 @ 1.34 odds
Mallorca v Bologna
Not much in terms of results is expected from this Spanish friendly taking place in Mallorca.
However, with an almost 100% fit club, expect most if not all players to have a run out on the pitch and with some hoping to prove a point ahead of the post world cup resumption.

Things are heating up.
This FIFA World Cup has been so far that it appears if you look away, you’ll miss the entire thing. While there have been lots of surprises especially at the group stage, gradually but finally, the pretenders are being separated from the real contenders.
The knockout stage has seen the big boys prove themselves. Unfortunately, this has meant that Africa have been shown their level, mostly. What this means from here on is that, with every blast of the whistle, outcomes will become more difficult to predict.
Not to worry because there is still money to be made through other outcomes. I’ll also be picking games outside of the ongoing main event in Qatar. So here we go and may the odds be in our favour.
Portugal v Switzerland
A very interesting tie. Any of these two that qualify from here will be deserving of the outcome. However, let’s scrutinize the data between them and predict an outcome.
These two sides mirror each other in results from their last five games with Nigeria and Ghana being listed as victims for the teams, respectively. Both have not drawn any of their last five matches against each other.
The safer prediction to make is on the goals.
Tip: 2HO1.5 @ 2.24 odds
Morocco v Spain
The last standing African team at the tournament. Played the best of football of the lot too and can match Spain’s fast and entertaining style. They have big players in their line up to make a difference.
One of my favourite interviews at the World Cup so far was hearing Moroccan coach, Walid Regragui, refuse to be dragged by the media into the politics about whether they are Arabs or Africans. The coach directly said they are representing Africa as the last team standing.
North Africa have always been the pride of the continent when it comes to style of football and can be compared to European style. So surely, if there was any African team I’ll pick to face an entertaining, fast paced, technical Spain side, it won’t be the more physical and less technical sides from west Africa but Morocco to be precise. The fact that they have a solid team with experience and success at highest level of club football means that they know what to expect and will be ready to challenge and not sit back to defend.
Morocco have has a better run so far and have failed to lose any game. They have three wins and two draws while Spain have one loss more despite scoring the most number of goals in the last five games.
The Africans have a better defensive record while the Europeans have scored in all of the World Cup games at this tournament so far.
I recognize that this can go either way but as usual at this stage, I’ll stake on the goals and a correct score prediction!
Tip: O2.5 @ 2.01 odds
Score prediction: 2-1 @ 22.50 odds
Croatia v Brazil
History shows that Brazil haven’t lost in all three encounters with Croatia, scoring six and conceding just once.
However, it’s very arguable that the Croatia of 2018, which was the last time they met during a friendly, is totally different from the class of players the European side currently field. This team, although aging, is more mature, fulfilled and can handle either side of the pitch.
Last time out, they got to the final of the World Cup, not many would have predicted that at the opening ceremony. For them to continue in similar trajectory, four years later, shows that wasn’t a gaffe. Luka Modric, Matteo Kovacic, Ivan Perisic and the likes, still got it.
However, their opponents, Brazil are probably the most difficult opponents to face at this point. While Croatia have won just two and drawn three of their last five games, Brazil have won four and lost just that shocking game against Cameroon while scoring 12 times. These number of goals can only be rivaled by Spain – only because of a 7-0 demolition of Costa Rica in the group stage.
The odds are highly staked against Croatia and it’s in games like this that a punter may rue their luck if outcomes turn out in the least expected way.
Having said that, Brazil, from the oldest to the youngest on that squad appear ready to lift the trophy. Thiago Silva set a new record on Monday to become the oldest player to assist a goal at the World Cup at 38. Huge.
Look at the firepower that is Brazil. Richarlison, Vinicius, Raphina even before you mention Neymar. Brazil will win, convincingly.
Tip: 2&O1.5 @ 1.50 odds
Netherlands v Argentina
The South Americans, through Lionel Messi, have gradually gotten in the mood and grown into the tournament.
This would be the first real test for either of them in this tournament. While they both, in my opinion haven’t exactly bamboozled and are at equal strength – Netherlands has four wins and one draw while Argentina has four wins and one loss, I expect this to be an entertaining match in the real sense of it. The dividing factor here should be Lionel Messi who it appears has grown to recognize that this is his last shot at lifting this one trophy that has eluded him. Hopefully this doesn’t go into extra time especially as both previous encounters ended in goalless draws.
Tip: 2 & O1.5 @ 2.91 odds
Doxa Katokopia v AEK Lanarca
Tip: 2 @ 1.62 odds
Pafos FC v APOEL Nicosia
Tip: O1.5 @ 1.40 odds

It’s the one we’ve been waiting for. The big FIFA World Cup and it’s already eventful so far even before a ball is kicked, and as expected , here are Sylvia’s Winning World Cup Selections.
So many things have been changed to accommodate this World Cup destination. The temperature, even if billions have been spent by hosts Qatar to create a more familiar temperature for the players, there are a lot of off-the-pitch atoms that may still impact the results. For example, the mood of fans can impact how they cheer their teams or if they just won’t mind getting knocked out earlier than they would normally prefer and go back home to their freedom to booze, for instance.
Countries that have a culture of being dragged over the line by their fans such as Brazil will be at higher risk.
It’s no longer news that fans aren’t exactly excited about the too many don’ts that have been issued to them by the host country and how it can be demoralizing. Surely, this will translate to results on the pitch. Having said that, let’s get right into the predictions and see which teams will likely fall victim in the first round of fixtures!
First I will also be picking games from outside the World Cup so keep your eyes open for those boosters.
Chelsea Women v Tottenham Women
A whopping nine (9) points separate these two sides. Unlike the men’s league, there isn’t much of a contest between the sides.
Chelsea a joint top of the league with London rivals, Arsenal, even though in second place due to goal difference.
The home side have never dropped points against their North London rivals in five meetings.
The FAWSL is such a high-scoring league to the point that despite Chelsea having an average of 2.4 goals per match, they are fourth in most goals scored per game. While Spurs with 2.2 is ranked next. Goals galore.
Chelsea have been awarded the most penalties – 4, so far this season. Samantha Kerr is ranked the league’s second best chance creator. They are certainly a goal threat. Always.
I expect Chelsea to claim all three points, comfortably. I’ll go for more to increase the odds.
Tip: GG @ 2.02 odds
Qatar v Ecuador
Like Nigerian players get gifted lots of money, I have wondered what the Qatar players would be gifted by their country if they win the World Cup – Ferraris? Maybe too small. Loads of cash? They can’t be bothered because they are very wealthy. Bars of gold? Maybe? Or they just will be happy to do it for honor and country? I guess we won’t know until the tournament kicks off on Sunday afternoon. Lucky for them, it’ll be a gentle build-up for them.
The hosts kick off the historic World Cup against Ecuador, unarguably the weakest opponent they could face in the group.
This would be their second time of meeting after a 4-3 victory to the middle eastern nation in 2018.
I fancy the result going in the direction of the home side. Don’t ask me to explain in writing but I strongly expect all things to go in their favour. It doesn’t help that Ecuador haven’t had it good in their last couple of games where they’ve recorded just one victory in five with their last victory before that coming in a 1-0 victory against a Nigeria B side.
Qatar are in a better run of form and aren’t too shabby a team.
Tip: 1 @ 3.10 odds
England v Iran
Oh, what a jolly pick for Sylvia’s Winning World Cup Selections! England may be missing a bunch of their preferred key players at the World Cup like Reece James, James Maddison, Kyle Walker and Ben Chillwell. However, they still have enough firepower to take on their mid-eastern opponents.
Iran won’t be a walk in the park either. They are ranked No 20 according to FIFA ranking for a reason and the Three Lions have cause to be at the best on the day.
Going into this one, Iran will be the underdog and for a team that doesn’t exactly play with a major superstar, surprises can spring up from different places.
These two sides have never met in the past but being a more viewed league, and with most of their players in the Premier League, Iran will feel they have more on England than the Three Lions have on them.
Tip: 1&O1.5 @ 1.61 odds
Senegal v Netherlands
On paper, it’s easy to pick Netherlands. However, Senegal are African champions and they didn’t become that by playing anyhow football. They have performed and stand a chance. Netherlands haven’t exactly been what they used to be decades ago.
Ahead of this tournament, both sides mirror each other on stats in their last five matches – 4W and 1D.
I imagine the European side would know it won’t be a walk in the park. I’m tempted to pitch my tent with the African champions. But star player, Sadio Mane’s absence is key to how things could turn out.
Tip: 12 & O1.5
USA v Wales
Wales are coming into this tournament in arguably the worst form possible. They have just two victories from their last nine matches. Five of them are losses. The North Americans haven’t fared much better either, with three victories and four draws in that time.
This looks a lot like it’ll end in a stalemate.
Tip: X @ 2.91
Argentina v Saudi Arabia
Tip: FH O1.5 @ 2.23 odds
France v Australia
It’s the reigning champions who although they don’t look like they did four years ago, are quite a big giant against Australia. France have struggled in the build up to this, a total opposite of the experience of the Australians. It’s one win and two draws in their last five while Australia have four wins and a draw in that time. The quality of opposition is different though.
Goal machine Karin Benzema has finally been ruled out of the tournament. That is as big a blow as is possible and changes our Sylvia’s Winning World Cup Selections. Nevertheless, France should win all three points.
