Premier League Predictions…

Here are our predictions:

STAT ATTACK: Low goals at Goodison…

Everton v Wolves - Monday 3pm, Amazon Prime Video

Wolves won this away fixture 0-1 last season. And our Premier League 2022/23 stats mark out this Boxing Day trip as another low-goals contender:

• Everton and Wolves are 2 of the Top 4 teams in the Premier League for Under 2.5 Goals payouts this season. Including a 71% home strike-rate for Everton

• These sides are also in the Bottom 4 of our Premier League Both Teams to Score table. Both Teams to Score: No has actually paid out in 8 of Everton’s last 10 league games, and in 8 of Wolves’ last 11

Under 2.5 Goals is priced at around 4/6 (1.67) for this game, and that’s going in as one leg of our acca (see below).

Both Teams to Score: No is around 17/20 (1.85).

The Christmas Acca…

For every round of Premier League games we build an accumulator from the matching selections in our Predictor grid, across the Match Result and Goals markets. Rolling up for some big odds…

So far this season we’ve done pretty well, and come close to the jackpot more than once. With 64% of the individual legs proving successful (77 out of 120). And I know that many of you cashed-out for a nice profit from the 119/1 acca in Round 2, and again with the 120/1 combo in Round 9.

Round 1 @ 40/1 – 6 out of 8 winning legs
Round 2 @ 119/1 – 8 out of 9
Round 3 @ 120/1 – 6 out of 9
Round 4 @ 13/1 – 6 out of 7
Round 5 @ 79/1 – 7 out of 9
Round 6 @ 22/1 – 2 out of 6
Round 7 @ 13/2 – 2 out of 5
Round 8 @ 103/1 – 7 out of 9
Round 9 @ 120/1 – 8 out of 9
Round 10 @ 53/1 – 5 out of 8
Round 11 @ 26/1 – 2 out of 7
Round 12 @ 511/1 – 4 out of 10
Round 13 @ 70/1 – 5 out of 8
Round 14 @ 184/1 – 4 out of 8
Round 15 @ 42/1 - 5 out of 8

Here’s our festive combo…

These picks match-up across the predictions from myself and my Across the Leagues colleague Shaun:

Brentford v Tottenham - Both Teams to Score: Yes
Crystal Palace v Fulham - Crystal Palace to win
Everton v Wolves - Under 2.5 Goals
Leicester v Newcastle - Draw
Southampton v Brighton - Over 2.5 Goals
Aston Villa v Liverpool - Liverpool to win
Arsenal v West Ham - Arsenal to win
Chelsea v Bournemouth - Chelsea to win
Man Utd v Nottingham Forest - Man Utd to win
Leeds Utd v Man City - Man City to win

• The ten-fold acca pays 219/1 with SpreadEx

We’ll be back next Friday with our predictions for the New Year’s weekend games.

Merry Christmas!

Enjoy the football…

Best wishes,
