Date: 04/01/2026

Kick Off: 17.00pm

League: English Premier League

Predicted Outcome: Under 2.5 goals (Newcastle vs Crystal Palace)

Newcastle welcome Crystal Palace in an EPL fixture where goals could be at a premium. The hosts come into this match on patchy and inconsistent form, with two wins, a draw and two defeats in their last five games, while Palace are in real trouble having failed to win any of their previous five matches.

Recent history between these sides also points towards a tight contest, with three of the last five encounters ending with fewer than three goals. Given Palace’s struggles in attack and Newcastle’s inconsistency, this game is likely to be closely fought, making under 2.5 goals the sensible pick.

Suggested bet: Under 2.5 goals.


Date: 04/12/2026

Kick Off: 17.15pm

League:  LaLiga

Predicted Outcome: Under 2.5 goals (Real Madrid vs Betis)

Real Madrid welcome Real Betis in a La Liga fixture that promises to be tightly contested. The hosts come into the new year with mixed form, having suffered two losses but also securing a hat-trick of wins in their last five matches. Betis are also in decent shape, recording three wins, a draw and just one defeat over the same period, suggesting this will be a competitive encounter.

History between these two sides points towards a low-scoring affair. Their last five meetings have all ended with under 2.5 goals, highlighting how evenly matched and cautious these fixtures tend to be. With both teams in reasonable form and familiar with each other’s strengths, expect another disciplined contest with under 2.5 goals.

Suggested bet: Under 2.5 goals.


Date: 04/12/2025

Kick Off: 19.30pm

League: English Premier League

Predicted Outcome: Both teams to score (Man-City vs Chelsea)

Manchester City face Chelsea in an EPL clash that promises plenty of attacking quality from both sides. City come into this match in excellent form, unbeaten in their last five games with four wins and a draw, while continuing to look sharp going forward. Chelsea, by contrast, have hit a slight dip with two wins, two draws and a defeat in their last five, and are without a win in their previous three matches.

Despite the contrast in form, recent history suggests goals at both ends. Four of the last five meetings between these two sides have seen both teams find the net, and with the attacking talent on display, this fixture looks set to follow the same pattern. Both teams to score is the standout selection.

Suggested bet: Both teams to score.


Date: 04/01/2026

Kick Off: 22.00pm

League:  LaLiga

Predicted Outcome: Atl Madrid to win (Real Sociedad vs Atl Madrid)

Real Sociedad host Atlético Madrid in a La Liga clash where the visitors arrive with momentum firmly on their side. Sociedad have struggled for consistency, managing just two wins alongside a draw and two defeats in their last five matches, a run of results that has left them hovering dangerously in 16th place and lacking confidence.

Atlético Madrid, by contrast, come into the new year in excellent form, winning four games on the bounce with only a single loss in their last five. The recent head-to-head record also favours Atlético, who have won four of the last five meetings between the sides. With superior form and confidence, expect Atlético Madrid to come away with the win.

Suggested bet: Atl Madrid to win.
