PREMIER LEAGUE: We preview Saturday’s final Premier League games before Christmas with a recommended BETDAQ bet including Leicester v Man U at 7.45pm.
EVERTON V CHELSEA
12.30pm We have an action packed Saturday before Christmas and what better way to start it by getting 0% commission on all bets for Everton v Chelsea! This will be a really interesting affair as Everton’s have improved under Big Sam. They are now unbeaten in their last six in all competitions, and won five of these games with a draw away to Liverpool. They’ve finally found their goal scoring touch, netting 14 goals in their last six and they’ve improved at the back too – only conceding two goals in those last six games. Chelsea look a pretty good lay here at 1.7 – they’ve only won four of their last seven league games away from home and all those games came against the bottom ten in the table – the loss away to West Ham a notable game. We just feel that this one will be closer than odds of 1.7 on Chelsea suggest, thus making it a good value lay – especially at 0% commission on BETDAQ!
BETDAQ BEST BET:
Lay Chelsea at 1.7.

BRIGHTON V WATFORD
3pm Watford continued their poor run of form last weekend when losing 4-1 at home to Huddersfield. They are now without a win in their last five, and while they have suffered some bad luck with red cards and such – losing 4-1 at home to Huddersfield is quite a shock. We have a pretty open market, with Brighton 2.66, Watford 3.05 and the draw 3.25 at the time of writing. While Watford are losing games, backing Brighton doesn’t exactly appeal either – they haven’t won in their last six although they have drawn two of their last three at home, the loss coming against Liverpool. This will be a hard fought affair and with the draw trading 3.25, that looks the value.
BETDAQ BEST BET:
Draw at 3.25.

MANCHESTER CITY V BOURNEMOUTH
3pm Manchester City are trading by far away the shortest price of any team today, they are currently 1.12 at the time of writing. You’d have to say that we aren’t used to seeing teams trade that short pre-game in the Premier League, it is more a La Liga type price, however it is a sign of how good City are. If Bournemouth play the open football that they did against Liverpool last weekend, we are going to see plenty of goals from City. We expect an easy win for City here, and the 1.8 on them -2.5 goals looks good value.
BETDAQ BEST BET:
Manchester City -2.5 goals to beat Bournemouth at 1.8.

SOUTHAMPTON V HUDDERSFIELD
3pm Huddersfield produced a shock 4-1 win last weekend against Watford, however it’ll be interesting to see can they follow that up here. Watford are in poor form at the moment, and Huddersfield’s record away from home is still poor. Apart from the first day of the season, Huddersfield haven’t scored away from home – and they’ve lost six of their nine away games. Southampton have been pretty solid lately, apart from their 4-1 loss here to Leciester which came out of no where. They held Arsenal here to a 1-1 draw and did well against Chelsea and City lately. With Huddersfield away record, Southampton can win here and the 1.65 on them looks a few ticks too big.
BETDAQ BEST BET:
Southampton to beat Huddersfield at 1.65.

STOKE V WEST BROM
3pm We said last weekend that the Stoke v West Ham game was massive for both sides, and the loser would be under immense pressure over Christmas. Well, West Ham easily beat Stoke 3-0, and Mark Hughes needs a result here. Just like last weekend against West Ham, a win here for the away side would mean they go past Stoke in the table, and Stoke will end up in the bottom three. So, a pretty big game then! Pardew hasn’t seemed to improve West Brom since coming in though, and in hindsight they were probably better off keeping Pulis for the consistency in the club. They did manage a draw away with Liverpool though, and Stoke look short at 2.38. Both sides have been poor, and we strongly feel that this one will be closer than the 2.38 on Stoke suggests, so it has to be laid.
BETDAQ BEST BET:
Lay Stoke at 2.38.

SWANSEA V CRYSTAL PALACE
3pm Another massive game towards the bottom of the table. Hodgson has improved Palace so much though that they now sit in 14th position heading into this game, however there’s only five points between them and Swansea who sit bottom. Swansea will no doubt feel that they can win this one, however Palace are a different team under Hodgson now and we expect Palace to get a result here. Swansea have been poor this season, they’ve conceded ten goals in their last five, they’re only success coming against the struggling West Brom here. Palace at 2.52 is tempting, however given that they have had so many solid draws recently, the Swansea lay at 3.4 jumps off the page here.
BETDAQ BEST BET:
Lay Swansea at 3.4.

WEST HAM V NEWCASTLE
3pm After West Ham’s brilliant 3-0 win away to Stoke last weekend, they now sit in 15th position. A win here would give them a huge boost heading into Christmas, and they have a superb chance to do so. Newcastle are without a win in their last nine, and they’ve lost eight of these games. They are on a dire run, and with Moyes improving West Ham since coming in – the home win looks massive here at 2.22 and looks worthy of a BETDAQ Multiple banker for the weekend.
BETDAQ BEST BET:
West Ham to beat Newcastle at 2.22.

BURNLEY V TOTTENHAM
5.30pm Not many would have had a bet on Burnley sitting above Tottenham in the table at this stage of the season, yet here we are! There may be only one point between them, but it has been an incredible season for Burnley thus far. It might not be pretty, but they get the job done each weekend now. Spurs have been very inconsistent this season, and it’s hard to believe that they are as short as 1.58 heading into this fixture. Away from home, that looks a huge value lay – they have been in solid form in their recent games, apart from the thrashing Man City gave them, however we still can’t get away from laying Spurs at 1.58. This one will be closer than those odds suggest.
BETDAQ BEST BET:
Lay Tottenham at 1.58.

LEICESTER V MANCHESTER UNITED
7.45pm The last match before Christmas! Both these sides crashed out of the league cup midweek, but only one side can hold their head high. Leicester lost on penalties to Man City, while United suffered an embarrassing defeat to Bristol City – so much for getting the easier tie of the round! It has been an excuse for United lately that they have missed Pogba, however he was back for that game and they were still very poor. Leicester have always had a good record at home, and it will be interesting to see how United get on here.
United are odds on, with the match odds at the time of writing; Leicester 4.5, Manchester United 1.94 and the draw is 3.75. United still concede too many goals away from home for us to consider backing them at 1.94 – indeed that price looks very short considering Leicester’s home record. Leicester always tend to find the net at home, and this will be a tough game for United, laying them at odds on looks good value.
BETDAQ BEST BET:
Lay Manchester United at 1.94.
