Five betting tips for you to mull over ahead of the last round of Premier League fixtures before Christmas.
Wigan Athletic v Arsenal – Podolski to score at any time
Lukas Podolski to score at any time at 7/5 with Bet365 looks a very decent bet. He had a good game in the club’s last match against Reading and bagged himself a goal which will give him a lot of confidence. His ratio hasn’t been great this season which is something he should be looking to improve.
Southampton v Sunderland – Southampton to win by two goals
Sunderland are rocking after a heavy defeat away to Manchester United and things won’t get any easier when they travel to Southampton. The Saints looks very good value at 11/2 with Sky Bet to win this match by a two goal margin which will give them three more vital points on their quest for Premier League survival.
West Brom v Norwich City – West Brom to win
It’s surprising not to see West Brom at odds on to beat Norwich at home. Betfred is offering even money on a home win which looks like a very good bet considering West Brom have won six, drawn won and lost only two of their matches at home this season. They have only conceded six goals in front of their own supporters.
Swansea City v Manchester United – Van Persie to score two or more goals
United won this fixture 1-0 last season and they look a more expansive and aggressive team this season which is bad news for Swansea. If United play as well as they can do then they should win this match comfortably and 4/1 from Bet365 on Van Persie scoring two or more goals in this match looks a good bet regardless of the various tactics or systems which will be used.
Chelsea v Aston Villa – Mata to score the first goal
Aston Villa will be very high on confidence but they would struggle to cope with the tactics and system that Chelsea use. Juan Mata looks good at 9/2 with Sky Bet to score the first goal of this game. He gets into the pockets of space in and around the area which prove to be fatal and Villa don’t have the discipline of defence to stop him.
