As the Premier League season progresses and teams face a flurry of fixtures around the festive period, punters are presented with enticing opportunities on matchday 16.
With the unpredictable nature of this season, where any team can defeat another, and injuries, suspensions, and rotation becoming more prevalent, finding value in bets becomes crucial. Here are five intriguing bets for the upcoming matchday on December 9 and December 10.
Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace: Liverpool to Win with Both Teams Scoring
Despite being favorites, Liverpool faces defensive concerns with Joel Matip ruled out, and Ibrahima Konate’s fitness uncertain. Considering Crystal Palace’s struggles at home, backing Liverpool to win with both teams scoring at odds of 3.15 could offer value.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Burnley: Over 2.5 Goals
With both teams emphasizing attack over defense, the clash between Brighton and Burnley promises goals. With 56 strikes in Brighton’s league games and 47 in Burnley’s this season, betting on over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.56 is a bet that holds value.
Everton vs. Chelsea: Everton to Triumph
Despite Chelsea’s recent success, Everton has historically performed well against them at Goodison Park. The extra rest day may favor Chelsea, but odds of 3.26 for an Everton triumph cannot be ignored.
Luton Town vs. Manchester City: City to Lead at Half Time and Full Time
Despite the historical significance of the fixture dating back to the Division 2 era, City’s current form suggests they will extend their unbeaten run against Luton. Betting on City to lead at both half time and full time at 1.51 represents value given their expected dominance.
Tottenham Hotspur vs. Newcastle United: Newcastle to Lead at Half Time, Spurs at Full Time
Considering Newcastle’s injury issues and the impending crucial match against AC Milan, caution is advised. Punters may find value in a speculative bet on Newcastle leading at half time and Spurs securing victory at full time, offering odds of 26.00.
