Premier League Predictions December 21st: matchday 17 betting slip

There will be five matches scheduled for Saturday 21 December relating to the 17th round, with attention paid to the treacherous away games of Manchester City and Arsenal respectively against Aston Villa and Crystal Palace. Here is the presentation of the individual Premier League matches, with the related game suggestions.

Aston Villa-Manchester City (13:30)

In the derby against the Red Devils comes the third defeat in the last five Premier League matches played by the Citizens, who waste the initial advantage by suffering an absurd one-two at the end of the match which increases the crisis of results and at the same time which costs the exit from the Champions League zone. For Aston Villa, their fifth defeat of the season in the league suffered on the pitch of Espirito Santo's Nottingham Forest, a result that comes after consecutive successes against Southampton and Brentford, for a ranking that speaks of a sixth place shared with Bournemouth at – 3 from the Champions zone.

Prediction

Considering the two rather unstable defenses, I consider it natural to focus ongoal outcome (best odds 1.47 on GoldBet), while as an ambitious alternative I suggest theoutcome x (best odds 3.65 on SNAI), with a value well above tripling. Third proposal relating tocorner outcome under 12.5 (best odds 1.27 on Lottomatica).

Brentford-Nottingham Forest (16:00)

For the hosts Brentford two defeats suffered in the last three days against Aston Villa and Chelsea, both matches played away, results which bring to 7 the number of matches concluded without taking points, for an overall balance sheet characterized by 7 victories and two draws. In the standings the local team shares tenth position with Tottenham and Newcastle, two points away from the Conference League zone.

For Espirito Santo's Nottingham, on the other hand, three victories were achieved in the last four days of the championship, the last two of which were against Aston Villa and Manchester United, a change of pace that allowed them to overtake Manchester City and move into fourth position, the last useful to access the next Champions League.

Prediction

The first gaming tip in this case is based on multigoal 2-4 (best odds 1.50 on GoldBet), while as an ambitious alternative it is related tooutcome x (best odds 3.40 on SNAI). Finally, the third and final proposal concerning thecorner outcome over 8.5 (best odds 1.25 on Lottomatica).

Ipswich-Newcastle (16:00)

After three defeats in a row, the newly promoted Ipswich is the protagonist of the away victory obtained on Wolves' soil, a match decided by Taylor's goal in the fourth minute of injury time which gives the guests three precious points which allow them to move up to third-last position just two points behind safety zone. The calendar now proposes Tonali's Newcastle as the opponent who comes from the resounding 4-0 obtained against Vardy's Leicester, a precious success that interrupts a negative streak of four days characterized by two draws and as many defeats. In the standings the Bianconeri are relegated to tenth position, with the same points as Tottenham and Brentford, -5 from the Champions League zone.

Prediction

Of all the quotas, the one relating to in particular convinces me combobet x2+multigol 1-3 (best odds 2.10 on GoldBet), while as an ambitious alternative in this case I suggest theoutcome over 0.5 first half (best odds 1.27 on SNAI). Last bet taken into consideration is the one relating to combobet over 0.5 first half + over 0.5 second half (best odds 1.48 on Lottomatica).

West Ham-Brighton (16:00)

After the disastrous defeats suffered against Leicester by 3-1 and Arsenal even by 5-2, the Hammers raised their heads first by winning against Wolves on friendly soil and then drawing on the difficult pitch of Bournemouth, for a ranking that speaks of a fourteenth place +7 on the relegation zone. The calendar proposes Brighton as an opponent, fresh from four days of the championship in which they collected a paltry two points, with a ranking context that speaks of an eighth place shared with Fulham, -4 from the Champions League zone.

Prediction

Let's start from the first game tip relating togoal outcome (best odds 1.43 on SNAI), while as an ambitious alternative I suggest theresult for the first half (best odds 2.45 on GoldBet). Finally, as a last suggestion, thecorner outcome over 8.5 (best odds 1.25 on Lottomatica).

Crystal Palace-Arsenal (18:30)

One of the numerous London derbies takes place, with the hosts Crystal Palace coming from a useful streak of five consecutive rounds characterized by victories obtained against Ipswich and Brighton away from home, alternating with three draws. In the standings the Eagles move to +4 on the relegation zone, with a clear offensive problem considering the only 17 goals scored. Opponents of the day are Arsenal who come from two consecutive draws, obtained respectively against Fulham and Everton, results which interrupt an important streak of three consecutive victories, for a ranking which currently speaks of a third place at -6 from leaders Liverpool.

Prediction

As a first piece of advice, here it is multibet 2 first half or 2 final outcome (best odds 1.40 on GoldBet), while as an ambitious alternative I suggest the multigoal 3-4 (best odds 2.45 on SNAI). Finally the third game relating tocorner outcome over 9.5 (best odds 1.65 on Lottomatica).
